Amel 60 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Amel 60 means looking at a 2019-onward Berret-Racoupeau flagship built as the yard’s modern world cruiser, with a forward sheltered cockpit and a three-cabin, three-head interior. These are substantial bluewater boats with resin-infused hulls and a carbon mast as standard, so the used examples you meet are less about project condition and more about how each owner specified and lived with the systems.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin arrangements are the more common used configuration, though both owner and charter-style layouts appear, and ex-charter boats are common. Either way the boat sleeps six across an aft owner’s cabin and two forward doubles, each with its own shower and head. The forward, deep cockpit opens to a sundeck and leads down to a saloon with a starboard galley running along the engine room; the aft cabintrunk raises headroom in the owner’s stateroom.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Most boats you will see carry a strong cruising baseline: lithium batteries, a retractable bow thruster, electric winches, a watermaker, a self-tacking jib, autopilot, chartplotter, heating, solar, inverter, hardtop, and swim platform are commonly fitted. For power and energy that means house systems built around lithium and solar with inverter support, reducing generator dependency at anchor. Often-seen additions include air conditioning, a Code 0 or gennaker on the fixed bowsprit, furling main, freezer, hot water, washing machine, dodger, dinghy davits, cockpit shower, AIS, and life raft—useful for circumnavigation-minded buyers but worth verifying against the specific hull’s records.
What to Inspect
The known handling caveat is that the lack of propwalk makes tight turns under power difficult without the optional stern thruster, so confirm whether a retractable stern thruster was fitted. Reviewers also flagged the long steering cable runs to the twin rudders and wondered about feel based on the smaller Amel 50’s behavior, so exercise the wheel hard over both ways and note any slack or delay. Otherwise the cockpit-accessible engine room is exceptionally open, which makes belt, hose, and insulation checks straightforward; inspect the hydraulic bathing platform and the teak-effect decks for condition.
Availability and Buyer’s Takeaway
These yachts typically turn up in Slovenia, Germany, Greece, and Italy. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm three-private-head layout and owner versus ex-charter history; verify stern thruster and lithium-solar-inverter energy chain; exercise twin-rudder steering for cable slack; and check the cockpit engine access, hydraulic platform, and teak-effect deck condition before committing.
