Amelie is a 2022 Dufour Catamaran 48 based in Porto di Cecina, ideally positioned for exploring the Tuscan Archipelago and beyond. This 14.7-metre catamaran combines modern comfort with the spaciousness that only a catamaran hull can offer, making it an excellent choice for families, groups of friends, or those seeking a more relaxed pace of sailing. With six cabins accommodating up to twelve guests and six full bathrooms, Amelie provides the rare luxury of privacy and convenience aboard—a significant advantage when cruising with extended groups or multiple families.

A typical week aboard unfolds with unhurried elegance. You'll depart Cecina and sail toward the crystalline waters of Elba, Porquerolles, or the hidden coves of the Tuscan coast, where anchorages reward you with both solitude and authentic Italian charm. The catamaran's dual 60 hp engines and electric winches make handling effortless, whether you're an experienced sailor or content to let the autopilot guide you while you relax in the generous cockpit. The onboard desalinator ensures fresh water throughout your voyage, while air conditioning in the cabins provides respite during warm afternoons. The galley is well-equipped, and the cockpit speakers create the perfect backdrop for sundowners as you drift between islands.

Amelie's layout encourages both social moments and quiet retreats. The spacious saloon becomes a natural gathering point for meals and conversation, while the separate cabins offer genuine sanctuary. The electrical toilet system and comprehensive navigation suite—GPS, chart plotter, and autopilot—remove the friction from daily routines, leaving you free to focus on what matters: the rhythm of the sea, the taste of fresh seafood at waterfront trattorias, and the camaraderie that emerges when a group shares the freedom of a private vessel.

A week aboard Amelie typically concludes with the kind of memory that lingers: perhaps a final sunset anchored off a quiet island, the water mirror-still, the smell of grilled fish drifting from the galley, and the collective contentment of a group who've discovered that the best luxury is simply time, together, on the water.
