About Amel Yachts
A Legacy Rooted in Ocean-Going Expertise
Founded by Henri Amel in La Rochelle, France, Amel Yachts has been dedicated to building ocean-ready sailing yachts since the 1960s. The brand quickly gained recognition for creating safe, reliable, and easy-to-handle vessels that appeal to serious bluewater cruisers.
A Thoughtful, Owner-Centric Design Philosophy
Amel yachts are built with the needs of long-distance sailors in mind. Every detail—from fully enclosed cockpits to simplified rigging systems—is engineered to enhance autonomy, safety, and onboard comfort.
Recognized Builds and Loyal Ownership
Amel’s most iconic models include the Super Maramu and more recently the Amel 50 and 60, both celebrated for their performance and luxurious liveaboard features. Their yachts are favored by experienced sailors and circumnavigators who value dependability above all.
Innovation with Purpose
While honoring traditional craftsmanship, Amel continues to integrate modern materials and systems to improve ease of use and reduce maintenance. Their yachts reflect a commitment to evolving with the times while staying true to their core purpose: building seaworthy vessels for real-world adventure.

New Yacht Construction Expertise with Amel
Selecting an Amel means choosing a yacht engineered for true ocean passage‑making—one built in France to exacting standards, with enclosed helm protection, watertight bulkheads, and systems designed for effortless single‑handing. Worth Avenue Yachts adds value by navigating Amel’s factory‑direct build process on your behalf: we secure build slots, review technical specifications, and coordinate layout and equipment options such as sail plans, lithium power upgrades, and climate packages suited to your cruising grounds. Every phase—hull infusion, rig stepping, commissioning—is documented in our encrypted build‑tracking portal, giving you real‑time insight without leaving home.
Because Amel limits annual production, “started builds” in the pipeline are rare and highly sought after. Our proprietary project records identify upcoming Amel 50s and 60s already on the schedule, allowing qualified buyers to shorten delivery while still personalising upholstery, electronics, and deck hardware. Coupled with our global flag‑state relationships and post‑handover technical advisory, Worth Avenue Yachts ensures your new Amel is delivered on time, on budget, and ready for bluewater horizons.
