Layout and interior design
Two large cabins with separate shower and toilet, a comfortable and very spacious saloon in the center of the boat, the engine room under the cockpit … the AMEL standards are still present in the AMEL 50. However, the chart table, the galley and interior design have been modified in order to enhance the volumes and the light.
In the whole boat, white linings have been added on the bulkheads, bringing a lot of brightness and highlighting the upper and lower woodworks. The integrated LED backlighting creates a cozy atmosphere in the evening. Huge portholes literally open the space and offer a wide view on the outside from all the cabins. The saloon is also enlightened by a large light shaft created by a set of deck hatches.
A new wood species
New boat, new wood species ! The second AMEL 50 is currently under construction and will have an interior decorated with Indian Palisander. A precious wood species, dark and particularly veined, which will be enhanced by the clear ceiling and bulkhead linings. This version will be presented as an optional finish.
The first unit exhibited in Cannes will be in light oak finish, which is the standard version of the boat. This species appeared in our yachts in 2014 and delights lovers of very bright interiors.
The AMEL 50 is also available in Sapelli version, the traditional wood species of AMEL boats.
Volume and brightness in the saloon
The layout of the saloon has been particularly studied on the AMEL 50. This is the main and central living space on the boat, it reflects the whole atmosphere on board. “The AMEL spirit” remains in this functional, spacious and luxurious interior. The current trends also lead to brighter interiors, wide opened on the outside.
In this respect, a wide light shaft is formed by 2 deck hatches and 2 windows enlightening the saloon. Large hull openings throughout the boat offer a wide view of the exterior. They make the watch easier during anchorage, and give a great feeling of space and brightness to this new interior.
The galley is now positioned in the passageway and the chart table on portside is fully open toward the saloon. This new layout combined to the hull width grants the central living space with great volume. The space opening is increased by the lowering of the furniture elements separating the areas. The dining table and the lounge corner can generously accomodate 6 to 8 people. The navstation instruments are installed in the horizontal axis of the hull and can be read from any part of the saloon.
Galley in the passage way
Inspired by the layout of the AMEL 64, the galley of the AMEL 50 is positioned on starboard along the hull. It extends from the companion way until the aft cabin. A huge porthole gives light and a pleasant view to the outside while cooking. The frigde and the microwave are placed aftward, a long upper row of cabinets is dedicated to the storage of ustensils and food. Dishes, pots and pans can be stored in lower cabinets and drawers. A shelf and a storage for glasses have been added on the side of the engine room. The central position of the galley, in the most steady part of the boat, makes cooking at sea really comfortable . The corridor-design allows to easily prop up and stand while sailing.
Cabins
The AMEL 50 offers 6 beds, divided into 3 cabins. Two couples can comfortably accomodate for long sailings in 2 spacious double cabins. A third, smaller cabin, allows 2 additional crew members to sleep on very comfortable bunk beds.
Owner’s stateroom
The owner’s stateroom occupies the whole width of the hull aft, and is impressively roomy. It includes a desk / vanity area on portside, a 160 cm wide bed with huge storage volume below, and a large wardrobe on starboard. A TV screen can be installed on the bulkhead in front of the bed, and may also display the information of the chartplotter.
This cabin has its own en-suite bathroom, with separate shower and toilet.
Guest cabin
The front cabin of the AMEL 50 has a similar layout compared to the other range models. This guest cabin has two large portholes in the hull, which are part of the AMEL 50 identity. Generous storage volume is available in the large wardrobe on portside, as well as in the upper cabinets and under the bed.
Private access to the forward bathroom is dedicated to the occupants of this cabin.
Third cabin
The third cabin, which may accomodate additional crews, is an independent cabin with two single bunk beds, which will be very comfortable at sea. Alternatively, this cabin may also be used as storage area when not occupied. It will have an outside access to the forward bathroom, through its second door.
