That would be unusual.  I've been tracking them for quite a few years now and it is usually far more weighted towards  SM's but I notice there also seems to be an unusual amount of Mango's, Meltems, Maramu's and Santorin's on the market in comparison now too (although the total number of Amel boats for sale right now seems to be down quite a bit from previous years at this time).  There were something like 479 Super Maramu's made from 1989 to 2005 and I'm aware of 4 that were lost for one reason or another.  There were only 165 Amel 54's made (not aware of any lost) from 2005 to 2011 so there are almost 3 times more Super Maramu's than Amel 54's.  I had a quick look at yacht world and excluding the double counts (expensive boats often have multiple brokerages listing the same boat), I counted eleven Amel 54's and twenty one SM's so a bit more Amel 54's proportionally but not completely out of whack with what you'd expect (2.8:1 vs 2:1).   It's probably just a matter of timing for the owners and boat location.    Anyway, they are both great boats so you can't go wrong either way.

The 53 was developed over 17 years .I believe it is the best Amel ever built. It is also the last Amel supervised by Captain Amel’s crew. Having sailed kimberlite over 75,000 miles ,there is no other boat I would trade it for.

We have been through a lot of very extreme weather and we have never broken anything. However one time a HUGE wave took the radar antenna off of the mizzen mast.

I find it interesting that there are way more listings for 54’s than 53’s, despite 53’s being both older and, I assume, much more plentiful..I am guessing that this is an attribute of the boat show hot potato primary market as opposed to the more stable secondary market. But that’s just a guess.

Hey Peter, I was just going through my usual channels of looking to update the Amel Yacht Owner’s Registry as I do every once in a while by going through the listings in Boats.com, YachtWorld and of course this forum (among others) and noticed that the listing was still active in the forum and noticed that the link that Bill provided in March wasn’t working and then tried to track it down to update the link.    It wasn’t hard to find it off Amel’s main page as he only has three listings (two Super Maramu’s and your 54).  I just checked to see if perhaps it was only showing on the English pages (and perhaps Jean-Jacques took it down from the French version of the site) but it still shows up there too.  https://amelyachtsbrokerage.com/#bateaux


While the listing doesn’t specifically mention Carango by name, the pictures and the hull number (#35) in the listing make it clear (to me at least) that it’s her.  https://amelyachtsbrokerage.com/en/n35-amel-54-en/#prettyPhoto[gallery_1]/3/


Perhaps Jean-Jacques is trying to get you a great price in order to upsell you on one of the new ones!  :-)    Anyway, thanks for letting me know she’s not for sale even at that price.  Bill R, you probably want to expire that listing in the Yachts For Sale side of the forum as well.   Happy Holidays and I hope you are able to enjoy her despite all of these pandemic issues.

This is odd because, as Amel well know,  Carango is not for sail and certainly not for that outrageous price - That would be a nice day!

Hey Bill, the link has changed.  It appears that Amel now sells used boats from a separate domain and no longer off the main Amel web page.   The listing for Carango can now be found at: https://amelyachtsbrokerage.com/en/n35-amel-54-en/. All of the used boats they have in their inventory can now be found at: https://amelyachtsbrokerage.com/en/home/ (assuming you want the English pages of course)

Hello, I am owner of an Amel 54 called Meige. She is based in south of France, exactly in Antibes and she was built in 2016. Her condition is excellent, with a lot of improvements and new features. Anyone looking for an immaculate Amel 54 ready to go can contact me at any time. Full description and photos available upon request.
