Amel 55

Available now in French Polynesia and ready for immediate bluewater cruising, AMEL 55 “SANTO” is an exceptional, privately owned 2014 model (Hull #24), immaculately maintained and upgraded by her second French owner in 2024–2025.

Designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built to Amel’s legendary offshore standards, she represents the pinnacle of luxury, reliability, and autonomy for serious sailors.

Originally ordered brand new from AMEL with full factory options by her first owner, “SANTO” was specified to an uncompromising standard for global cruising from day one, including rare upgrades such as the hydraulic integrated gangway for easy boarding and dock access.

She features the sought-after 2-cabin, 3-head owner’s layout, with high-quality American walnut joinery, leather upholstery, and a generous saloon convertible to extra berths. The entire vessel is fitted with premium touche as new reversible air conditioning (Climma DC50), Webasto heating ensuring exceptional liveaboard comfort in all climates.

Significant recent upgrades include a complete Victron lithium power system with 5 x 200Ah 24V Li batteries (2024), Victron Cerbo GX energy management, 4 x 420W Sharp solar panels, Superwind wind generator, and Onan 11.5kVA generator, offering complete energy independence. Water needs are covered by a Dessalator 240L/h watermaker.

Under sail, “SANTO” is equipped with new 2024 mainsail, mizzen, genoa, storm jib, and 2016 Gennaker, all on serviced Reckman furlers, and a brand new Sparcraft boom (2025). Standing rigging was also renewed in 2024. She features Harken electric winches, in-mast furling, and a robust central cockpit with hardtop, summer/winter awnings, and updated cushions. For propulsion, she runs a reliable Volvo D3-110hp engine with only ~2,250 hours, a Brunton’s Autoprop, and a Sleipner bow thruster.

Electronics are top-of-the-line with Furuno TZT chartplotters, dual Furuno autopilots (One unit is 2025. New crossbox is 2024), B&G Hydra instruments, AIS, and the impressive SEA.AI floating object detection system. The boat is also Starlink Maritime equipped for unlimited offshore connectivity.

Further features include a Highfield 340 RIB with 2024 Honda 20hp, Simpson 300kg davits, multiple cameras, Miele appliances, and an extensive 5-year spare parts inventory.

Meticulously maintained with comprehensive servicing (2024/2025), “SANTO” is one of the best-outfitted Amel 55s afloat.
