CHANTIERS AMEL Amel Super Maramu

The ultimate bluewater cruising yacht, as only Amel can build. This Amel Super Maramu is in just her second ownership, she is ready to cross oceans again - and has already proven her capability. The Amel name speaks for itself, and she is built to an exceptionally high standard. Originally launched on the French coast in 1993, she was reviewed by Amel expert Bill Rouse and deemed to be in fantastic condition for her age.

Construction

RCD Status: Our understanding is that the yacht is exempt from the essential safety requirements of the Recreational Craft Directive as she was built and placed into use within the EU prior to 1998. However, the SUPER MARAMU has C.E. A - Unlimited Offshore rating as well as a French Merchant Marine class A rating.
