Broker's Comments
5 VIRTUAL TOURS - 1 VIDEO - 134 PHOTOS - FULL SPECS & BROKER'S COMMENTS CAN BE VIEWED OF THIS AMEL MARAMU!
If you want to sail the world, this may be the vessel for you. The 46' Amel Maramu Ketch was designed and built to do exactly that. When you look for similar models they are located all over the world. This French-built boat has crossed the Atlantic twice and cruised the islands of the Caribbean for several years. The present owner purchased this boat in the British Virgin Islands and after a lot of sailing shipped it to Washington.
As well as being rated as one of the top 12 boats for world cruising it has all the liveaboard comforts needed for all climates. Starting with a new Cummins engine installed in 2009... a Northern Lights generator rebuilt in 2015... in-mast furling for both the main and mizzen... diesel forced air heat and reverse cycle heat/ air.
One final special piece of equipment -- a retractable bow thruster!
Several pages of maintenance records are available.
