The professional's opinion

This Super Maramu is primarily a true cruising yacht. What interests me about this vessel is not only its equipment but also its history with owners who have known it since 2014 and have actually sailed with it.
The refit of the Perkins 80 HP, the desalinator, the generator, and the list of work carried out over the years are important factors for a buyer looking for a boat with which to build a genuine long-range cruising project.

Description

AMEL SUPER MARAMU 1991 FOR SALE – LONG-TERM CRUISING SAILBOAT

This AMEL Super Maramu from 1991 for sale is a 16-meter ketch sailboat designed for sailors planning serious voyages and long-distance cruising. With its 2 cabins, a beam of 4.60 m, and a draft of 2.05 m, it offers the volume, comfort, and equipment sought for extended periods on board.

The current owners have owned this Super Maramu since 2014 and have traveled extensively with it. The boat has benefited over the years from regular maintenance and numerous interventions, the list of which can be provided to interested buyers.

The engine is powered by a fully rebuilt Perkins 80 HP diesel, currently showing around 600 hours (variable). For a boat intended for travel, this mechanical history is naturally an important part of the file.

One of the main advantages of this pre-owned AMEL Super Maramu lies in its design focused on long-distance navigation. Its ketch rig allows for the distribution of sail area among multiple sails and offers various adjustment options depending on conditions encountered.

Onboard autonomy is also a key element for this type of sailboat. This unit is equipped with a generator and a desalination unit, two features particularly valuable for sailors wishing to stay at anchor for extended periods or venture away from port infrastructure.

The interior offers generous volumes designed for life on board. The boat includes 2 cabins, a functional galley, ample storage, and can accommodate multiple people. The layout is truly suited for a travel program rather than casual use.

This Super Maramu for sale in France is mainly aimed at sailors seeking a cruising sailboat equipped for long-distance voyages, capable of providing autonomy, space, and comfort for extended navigation.

A berth transfer option is also available with the boat.

A detailed file of work carried out over the recent years is available. To learn more about the project, view photos and videos, or organize a visit on board, please contact us.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the AMEL Super Maramu particularly suited for long-distance cruising?

Its design, its volumes, its ketch rigging, and its autonomous equipment match a true long-distance cruising program. On this vessel, the presence of a desalinator and a generator is particularly valuable for extended voyages.

What is the advantage of a ketch rig on a Super Maramu?

A ketch distributes the sail plan between a main mast and a mizzen mast. This configuration allows for multiple sail combinations and makes it easier to adapt the sail area to the encountered conditions.

Is a Super Maramu intended only for ocean crossings?

No. Even though its design makes the most sense in a long-distance cruising program, it can naturally be used for shorter trips, Mediterranean cruises, or extended periods of life onboard.

Is it possible to know exactly what work has been carried out on this Super Maramu?

Yes. A detailed list of interventions and improvements carried out over the past few years is available for buyers wishing to review the boat's history.
