1984 Amel Maramu Few boats are actually "turn key" ready to take you around the world. This one has returned from that adventure and appears as "ready to go again". Amel Maramu boats are widely respected as Ocean Cruising Yachts although not well known here in the States. The ketch rig makes for easy handling plus the sail trim can be managed for the most part from the security of the deep, center cockpit. This boat very recently came from Hawaii to Sitka, Alaska then here to Seattle after nearly circumnavigating the globe having started in Florida. Many recent upgrades including new rigging and constant care and maintenance make this lovely boat a great choice if you've got an itch to see the world. The seller reports after 24 years of loving and caring ownership he has replaced, repaired and renewed systems and features on this vessel having spent over $21,000 just since May 2016. Here is a YouTube link to another Amel Maramu crossing the Atlantic. Clearly, this is a very capable Ocean Cruising Yacht. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H_EB5YM7D-Y I asked the seller to share with me his reasoning initially purchased the Amel. The following is an excerpt from that reply; "As we neared the end of our extensive search for the 'perfect cruising yacht', one major factor kept popping into our heads. Which one of these boats would get us around the world the safest? And hands down it became clear that it was the Amel. In a seaway with all of the hand holds and deep cockpit, water tight doors, ketch rig {smaller and easier-to-handle sails} stainless steel lifelines, hard dodger where most of the sail trim can be handled from the security of the cockpit, we no longer felt anything on the market compared. For practicality the Amel really is unsurpassed!" I'm happy to share a full description and stories of their circumnavigation -- contact me. These boat details are subject to contract. Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
