AMEL Shipyard has today announced the launch of the AMEL 50.2, a new ocean-going cruiser that remains faithful to the brand’s DNA. Designed for sailing in complete safety and maximum comfort, it will make its world debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, which takes place from 8th to 13th September 2026.
Building on the success of the AMEL 50—with some 140 units currently navigating the globe—the AMEL 50.2 heralds a new chapter in the Shipyard’s history. This latest model takes the art of cruising to another level, perfectly combining safety, ease of manoeuvring, contemporary elegance and onboard comfort.
Whether travelling as a couple, with family, or with friends, the AMEL 50.2 has been designed to inspire future owners to chart new horizons aboard a reliable, elegant sailing yacht, perfectly suited for long-distance cruising.
A new model true to the AMEL DNA
The AMEL 50.2, designed by Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design, has been conceived as a natural evolution of the AMEL 50, whilst retaining the brand’s defining strengths.
Its silhouette is sleeker, accentuated by an inverted bow and softer deck lines.
The central cockpit, a hallmark feature of AMEL yachts, has been redesigned on this latest model, with particular attention paid to its contours and finish. A reconfigured layout further facilitates sail manoeuvres and passenger movement.
An enhanced onboard experience
Below deck, the 50.2 offers a calm, bright, and timeless environment. Its rounded contours, high-quality materials, and attention to detail all combine to create an interior designed for comfort, whether at sea or at anchor.
The different living spaces have been carefully thought out to offer greater comfort, privacy, and ease of movement. Every aspect of the layout reflects the same objective, namely, to enable owners to enjoy long-distance sailing with confidence and complete peace of mind.
Rendezvous at the Cannes Yachting Festival
The AMEL 50.2 yacht will be making its world debut in the Sailing Area at Port Canto during the Cannes Yachting Festival, which takes place between 8th and 13th September 2026.
This must-attend event will serve as the perfect setting to explore our latest model, chat with the AMEL team, and discover this new chapter in long-distance cruising.
