Classic 53ft Blue Water Cruising Ketch.

The last of the Super Maramus before the Super Maramu 2000, this yacht is hull N0.239 and the 2000 editions started at hull N0.240. We are told that this particular yacht incorporated a number of features and details that were then found on the 2000.

In the same and only second ownership for the last 17 years or so, she is owned by an ex Royal Navy serviceman who purchased her with the intention of taking her blue water sailing. Unfortunately life and business took over and the trip did not happen and she has been hardly used since 2004. Please see the owner's comments below for more details.

As a consequence some of her systems (mainly domestics) have not been used in recent years, so may require servicing or updating, however she had new sails in 2017 and new batteries in 2020.

OWNERS PERSONAL COMMENTS:

I am the second owner of the boat having bought in 2004 from a surgeon who used it as his London accommodation after bringing it to Europe and cruising the Mediterranean for 4 years. I bought it with the intent of retiring early in 2006 and going cruising, unfortunately this did not happen and the boat has not left the Solent area since bringing her down from St Catherine’s Dock London in December of 2004. I have mainly used the boat for entertaining business clients who came down for drinks and the odd trip out on the Solent during the Summer months. The sad fact is the boat has hardly had any use in the 17 years I have owned it. I kept hoping that I would be able to get away from my Telecomms business at some point however it did not happen. I am a pensioner now and I have left it too late for ocean going trips. The boat will need updating electronically, Navaids mainly, as I never needed them for the sailing I did. I am ex Royal Navy so did all my navigating using charts and visual fixing. This boat can be sailed single handed (one of the main reasons I bought it) which I have done on several occasions as all the controls come into the cockpit and the bow thruster is very effective when berthing (you can turn this boat 360 degrees in its own boat length). The engine room is well laid out and easy to work in. Amel boats are renowned for their quality craftsmanship and attention to detail and I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed owning her.

LYING: Southampton.

All viewings by private appointment. - See below.

Please note all of our listed yachts are privately owned and berthed at their owner's home port in different marinas along the UK south coast and are not located at one central office.

Therefore, for private views, we will drive to the yacht's individual marina location to meet you at a pre-arranged day and time. As the yachts are sometimes several hours drive along the coast, requests for private appointments should be made only when the yacht is on your radar as a potential purchase.

In the meantime, the majority of our yachts now have online video tours, allowing you to assess the yacht's layout and potential suitability from the comfort of your home, before booking a private view.

Normal Office Hours Monday to Friday 09.30 – 17.30

Saturday by arrangement subject to availability.
