Four Tempting Azimut Yachts for 2025
Azimut Benetti has been synonymous with Italian style and luxury for years, maintaining an elusive air of always being in demand — but the sheer size of Azimut in particular's lineup can be daunting. Here, in no special order, we present a few standouts for your consideration (or window shopping, or lusting-over, or whatever you want to call it), based on top-shelf details and a range of sizes.
Grande 36M
116 ft., 5 cabins, 18 knots cruising
With plenty of room to capitalize on, open space and natural light are emphasized to perfection on the Grande 36M. Award-winning Monaco-based Alberto Mancini made sure there'd be no squeezing around the furniture or waiting to get through narrow corridors on an upper deck meant for lounging. The cabins, too, prioritize light, space, and comfort — and scope the luxurious size of the shower in the marble-decked head.

On top of the spacious design, the ship itself features a sleek displacement-to-planing hull that cuts through the waves while reducing drag, which both increases speed and slashes fuel consumption and carbon emissions by up to 30% at any speed compared to ships of similar size.
Magellano 25M
83 ft., 4 cabins, 18 knots cruising
Almost 120 feet a little too much boat, but you're still looking for the same feeling of space and bright light? Enter the Magellano 25M — which, at least from this writer's perspective, has the appealing exterior look of timelessness (we love a blue hull, and the blue-white-natural wood trifecta never gets old). Despite the reduced space compared to the Grande 36M, famed interior designer Vincenzo de Cotiis still manages to make every room a masterclass in windows-as-artwork and comfortable, easy spaciousness.

Like the Grande, the Magellano has a semi-planing hull that reduces drag and carbon emissions, and includes a lithium-based "hotel mode" that can power the yacht at zero emissions for up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night.
Verve 48
49 ft., 2 cabins, 37 knots cruising
Then again, sometimes one only needs enough boat for a friend or two and a weekend, and for that, the Verve 48 ticks all the right boxes beautifully, from its speedy design to the fold-down platform and ladder at the stern. Even so, Azimut packs an impressive amount of luxury into the compact space, with a lounge that converts to a dining table, a sleek galley, and a (still!) impressively spacious shower — and at only a little over a 4-foot draft, you won't have trouble finding a dock.

Atlantis 51
53 ft., 3 cabins, 26 knots cruising
At just a few feet larger than the Verve 48, the Atlantis 51 trades a little speed for a little space, catering to the weekender whose tastes are a little more leisurely; yet like the Verve, the relatively shallow draft of just over four feet makes the Atlantis easy to keep. Much is made of the available space: some truly excellent design sacrifices little comfort while maintaining a sense of utility and luxury, with abundant natural light throughout.
