The Amel Super Maramu represents the pinnacle of Henri Amel’s "ultimate cruiser" philosophy, serving as the benchmark for blue water sailing vessels for nearly two decades. Produced between 1988 and 2006, with nearly 500 hulls launched, this 53foot ketch was designed specifically for shorthanded couples to circumnavigate in total security. Unlike most production yachts of its era, the Super Maramu was delivered "turnkey," including everything from the linens to a comprehensive tool kit and a washing machine. The hull is a solid laminate with integrated longitudinal stringers, and the deck is vacuumbagged, featuring the brand's signature "Amelteak"—a lowmaintenance, moldedin faux teak finish that remains one of the boat's most practical exterior features. In the late 1990s, the model evolved into the Super Maramu 2000, which introduced significant mechanical upgrades and refined interior comfort systems.
