The new flagship in azimut’s magellano line adds even more features for long-range cruisers.

Q When the Italian builder Azimut announces that it is planning to build a long-range trawler yacht, what might it look like?

A It doesn’t disappoint.

True, the Magellano 76 is a departure from the swoopy euro-style Azimut look of previous models. By comparison, it looks rather chunky and tall. But that’s because Azimut packed a lot of smart features inside, giving this yacht plenty of substance for owners who want to cruise well beyond the next port in style and comfort.

Take the flybridge, which extends more than half the length of the yacht. Instead of filling it with seats and tables that make sense for day-trippers, Azimut left the after half open to become what the Italians might call a terrazza, a terrace overlooking the sea. Sure, you could rig the space to carry a tender, but how much more stylish to have Minotti sun chaises with side tables for evening cocktails on the hook in a far-off port?

Azimut couldn’t bring itself to commit to plodding trawler speeds, either, so it asked designers Bill Dixon and Ken Freivokh to create what the builder calls a “dual-mode” hull. When you want to go far, you have an 1,850-nautical-mile range at 9 knots. Want to pick up your skirts and get to Nikki Beach for happy hour? Push the throttles and you have a top speed of 22 knots.

A teak dining table with settee and loose seating dominates the cockpit, which has full sun protection from the bridge overhang and an electrically powered awning. A seamanlike console is in each corner of the cockpit with warping winches,oversized cleats and line stowage, again, adding long-range cruising substance to the Magellano 76’s style.
