Amel Amel 60
About this yacht
The Amel 60 represents a significant evolution in bluewater cruising design, combining French craftsmanship with contemporary performance engineering. Launched in 2019 by the renowned Amel shipyard, this 19-meter sailing yacht earned European Yacht of the Year honors in the Luxury-Cruiser category just one year after her debut—recognition that speaks to her exceptional balance of comfort, capability, and innovation. Built upon the success of the Amel 50, the Amel 60 extends the proven concept with an additional three meters of length and expanded living spaces throughout. Her near-vertical hull sides maximize interior volume without compromising seaworthiness, creating generous accommodations below deck and a larger machinery compartment for extended offshore passages. The fiberglass hull carries CE Category A certification, confirming her design for open ocean voyaging far from shore. The protected center cockpit remains the yacht's defining feature—a sheltered command station where all sail handling and navigation systems converge under a rigid sliding hardtop. This arrangement allows comfortable passage-making even in challenging conditions, when wind and spray would make exposed helming positions untenable. The cockpit flows aft to a spacious swim platform, while forward deck areas offer ample space for sunbathing in warmer cruising grounds. Below deck, the layout prioritizes both social gathering and private retreat. A square saloon accommodates eight guests around a central table, flooded with natural light from a dozen opening deck hatches and three opening portholes that enhance the sense of space and headroom. The galley features comprehensive equipment for extended cruising, while three double cabins—each with ensuite facilities—provide comfortable accommodation for up to twelve guests. Performance benefits from a lighter, lower-center-of-gravity carbon fiber mast with furling systems, delivering improved speed and reduced heel compared to the Amel 50. The design prioritizes ease of handling and safety—core principles that have defined Amel's approach across their entire range. The result is a capable performance cruiser that balances spirited sailing with the comfort and systems integration required for serious bluewater voyaging, whether cruising as a couple or hosting family and friends on extended passages.
