2025 AMEL Amel 55 Confronta

Built by Amel in 2025, ABORA is a 17.3 m sailing yacht that combines proven bluewater cruising design with modern systems and ease of operation. This Amel 55 represents a thoughtful balance of comfort, self-sufficiency and practical seamanship for extended ocean passages and remote anchorages.

ABORA is equipped with a ketch rig featuring electric furling on the mainsail, mizzen, genoa and staysail, making sail handling straightforward for short-handed crews. Below deck, three cabins and two heads provide comfortable accommodation, while substantial tankage (900 litres fuel, 800 litres water), a Dessalator 240 l/h watermaker, Onan 11 kW generator and FleetBroadband FB250 satellite communications ensure genuine autonomy offshore. Navigation is supported by Furuno radar, AIS transponder, B&G H3000 suite and NavPilot autopilot. Deck equipment includes seven Lewmar electric/manual winches, electric bow thruster, hydraulic gangway, electric anchor windlass and a secondary electric anchor windlass. The Volvo Penta D3-110 engine (110 hp, 1,296 hours) provides reliable propulsion, while a Zodiac eight-person liferaft and AB aluminium-bottom dinghy with Mercury outboard complete the safety and tender inventory.

This yacht is ideally suited to buyers seeking a capable, well-equipped vessel for long-range cruising, ocean crossings and extended liveaboard voyages. The combination of protected centre cockpit, electric systems, comprehensive navigation suite and proven Amel design makes ABORA particularly attractive to couples and small crews who value self-reliance, ease of operation and comfort in remote waters. Private family ownership and never having been chartered underline the vessel's well-maintained, cruiser-focused heritage.
