The Amel 55 represents a significant milestone in the evolution of Chantiers Amel, marking one of the first major departures from the in-house design era of Henri Amel toward a collaboration with the naval architects at Berret-Racoupeau. Introduced in 2011 as the successor to the highly successful Amel 54, the 55 was engineered to retain the brand’s "bombproof" reputation while modernizing the hull lines and interior volume. As a dedicated blue-water ketch, it was built specifically for couples to manage safely across oceans without the need for additional crew. The vessel follows the Amel philosophy of delivering a "ready-to-sail" boat, where most essential blue-water equipment—from the genset and watermaker to the washer-dryer and dishwasher—was included as standard rather than as options.
