2023 Azimut Magellano 25MAzimut has chosen to renew the genre from above by putting the astonishing AZIMUT MAGELLANO 25M on the market. If the “envelope” is in line with the collection, the layout and interior decor are definitely those of a refined yacht which aims to go far from its bases.
The AZIMUT MAGELLANO 25M is both a return to basics and a total break with precedents. A return to basics because Azimut sought out naval architect Ken Freivokh to shape the exterior lines of this concept of a travel boat which aimed to become the trawler of modern times. De Cottis has managed to create a very exclusive atmosphere on board thanks to furniture of his own creation.
A total break because the treatment of the interior plays on a very “boutique hotel” approach at odds with the spirit of travel and the timeless silhouette claimed by the yard. We owe this mini revolution to star designer Vincenzo De Cotiis who created his first boat with the Magellano 25M. The yard is very proud to have recruited this big name in international design or storage consoles which run under a succession of rectangular glazing and reinforcing pillars.
Aside from the floor made up of thin strips, there is little wood in this very refined atmosphere where each piece of furniture is an exclusive creation, like the sofas facing each other or the table for six guests. Constant play of mirrors, brass light sconces and finishes of the same metal in abundance, tufted carpets with gray reflections and geometric contours, resin furniture with inclusions, the deliberately asymmetrical decor surprises and brings to mind the luxurious atmosphere of the lobby a five-star hotel.
This unique style can be found at the lower level. A staircase to the right of the dining room leads to the 4 double cabins. The hull is wide enough to accommodate 2 VIP cabins with 160 cm beds perpendicular to the axis, one at the front, the other on the port side. A long corridor distributes the rooms up to the through Master cabin which occupies the rear. The brass-rimmed sconces and furniture are the common thread of this chic decor where nothing is left to chance.
Each couple of guests have their own bathroom, of course, but the shipowner benefits from preferential treatment by having a bathroom with double sinks open to the bedroom. So much for interior spaces of a private nature. Following a principle already established, the shipyard is establishing a strict separation between the crew and guests.
This choice is the result of careful consideration during long summer cruises in which Giovanna Vitelli and her father, the founder of the Azimut group, took part. The co-directors want to give their full place to the crew, being aware that they are the key to a successful stay on board. This credo results in a more comfortable and generous crew quarters as well as so-called technical spaces which remain invisible to the eyes of guests.
Surprise facing the windshield: a large L-shaped galley sits alongside a dining area which is in principle reserved for the crew who have never been so well accommodated.
On the Magellano 25, the separation is materialized by a double-leaf mirror door. It subtly demarcates the private and crew areas. The airlock opens onto unexpected features placed in front of the windshield.
The bow combines relaxation space and deck manoeuvring with the proximity of all stainless-steel mooring gear which contributes to the Explorer philosophy.
At the entrance, a very simple saloon for 4 people is extended on the left by a large professional L-shaped kitchen. A narrow companionway leads to the cabins, one for the captain, the other for the sailor and the hostess as well. than a common water feature.
The cockpit is located just above the galley in what the Americans call a “raised pilot house”. It is accessed by an almost invisible winding staircase located just before the mirror door. This confined space dedicated to the captain also communicates with the immense flybridge. The crew will be able to discreetly use this passage to set the table outside or serve a drink to the guests if the Owner requires it. As you will have understood, sailing in a AZIMUT MAGELLANO 25M cannot really be envisaged without a crew.
The sublime cockpit lounge: two teak frame sofas facing each other, an extendable coffee table, and a clear view of the sea thanks to a fully glazed transom.
In this way, it is very similar to an ultra-spacious mini yacht for its dimensions. Also showing real aptitude for charter. Guests have at their disposal an exceptional upper deck which includes a large U-shaped lounge and, aft, a terrace with a view of the horizon, nicely furnished with De Cotiis furniture.
Azimut has retained the central pole which is a recurring element at Magellano range. The superstructure of the flybridge, like the hard-top, is made of carbon, a technology perfectly mastered by the shipyard for three years now, which represents a significant weight saving and gives the whole thing foolproof rigidity.
Large, simple sofas designed by De Cotiis adorn the aft part of the flybridge, entirely slatted with teak.
The 25M would thus have a center of gravity equivalent to the previous Magellano. The De Cotiis touch is also found in the layout of the large cockpit, which the designer has completely revisited. Instead of the traditional bench seat, two sofas whose structure is made up of teak slats face each other.
When the transom tilts to open the tender garage and converts into a bathing platform extension, it reveals an astonishing transparent glazing at the cockpit level which frees up the perspective. Original ! With a seriously raised bulwark at the level of the gangways, the boat retains another of the main attributes of the Magellano range.
The transom unfolds to convert into a submersible bathing platform and at the same time free access to the tender garage hidden here by a stretched canvas.
The same goes for the impressive mooring gear highlighted in the same way as the oversized fittings. The vertical and massive bow, flanked by two imposing fittings on which the post anchors rest, is another characteristic specific to the first model.
Ken Freivokh has subtly reworked the silhouette by giving it more length. And even if the ship has a significant air draft, its line exudes a very particular strength and dynamism. In navigation, this ‘almost-new’ new AZIMUT MAGELLANO 25M can rely on two MAN engines of 1550 hp each, a large optional propulsion with low hours.
The hull called “dual mode” is optimized semi-displacement specially designed to obtain almost linear yields between 10 and 15 knots. For this new boat, Azimut asked Italian architect Pierluigi Ausonio to rework the water lines in order to increase the cruising speed to 18 knots and meet customer wishes. At 24 knots, the boat reaches its maximum speed. At low speed, the 25 Metri returns to the behavior of an authentic trawler. Consumption amounts to 50 l/h at 10 knots on flat seas.
An efficiency of 5 liters per mile is flattering, obtaining the maximum range of around 1200 nautical miles.
Humphree blade Interceptor trim tabs allow the boat’s trim to be automatically corrected, but honestly, we do just fine without them. At anchor, the Azimut Magellano 25 Metri can count on a four-meter-long tender which slides into a garage with launching by electric winch.
A unique boat on the mini yacht market, the 25 Metri will undoubtedly be a landmark for the elegance and strength of its line. The “very special” decoration by Vincenzo De Cotiis shows to what extent the prestige of the designer and his work are taken into consideration today in the development of such a project.
The boat was produced in August 2022, therefore it was registered as a 2023 model.
The Hotel-Mode allows you to enjoy zero emissions and in silence at anchor. In Hotel-mode, onboard systems are powered by lithium-ion batteries instead of generators for 6 hours during the day and up to 8 hours at night.
The use of carbon fiber (fly, hard top, garage) is a construction choice that allows for increased volumes and surface areas while maintaining the same weight, allowing excellent levels of dynamic stability to be maintained.
Trim Interceptor technology offers a smooth and precise Auto mode that automatically takes care of all trim adjustments, ensuring the best consumption at each speed and an optimal forward view.
The BCOOL system, based on technology developed by NASA, provides constant air circulation and sanitation as well as complete air exchange. Not only does this innovative solution eliminate harmful microorganisms from ventilation ducts and the environment, but it also regulates the temperature and humidity level of the air for maximum comfort in the cabin.
Optional list of more than 1.1 M€ and transferable warranties available.
