by Following the release of the Magellano 25 Metri in late 2020, Azimut has expanded its long-range line with the 30 Metri.
Azimut has launched hull one of the Magellano 30 Metri in Viareggio. The model features exterior styling by Ken Freivokh and interior design by Vincenzo De Cotiis, the pair reuniting following their work on the Magellano 25 Metri (cover, Issue 55) released in late 2020.
With an overall length of 29.6m (97ft 6in) and a beam of 7m (23ft), the 30 Metri is the new flagship of the Magellano Collection, which is focused on long cruises, low fuel consumption and interiors designed for extensive stays on board.
The model features naval architecture by P.L.A.N.A and a second-generation dual-mode hull for efficiency at mid-range and higher speeds, reducing consumption by about 15 per cent compared with traditional hard-chine planing hulls. The Hotel Mode package includes 100kWh lithium batteries that enable the yacht to stay at anchor with zero emissions for up to 4hrs during the day and 8hrs at night.
Outdoor areas include an ‘infinity terrace’ cockpit, the aft end of the upper deck, and a foredeck that can fit a spa pool. The yacht has over 70sqm of glazed surfaces, so huge windows illuminate many interior areas such as the saloon and dining area on the main deck, the full-beam owner’s suite forward and the upper-deck skylounge. The lower deck has four guest cabins and three crew cabins.
Asia’s first hull of the Magellano 25 Metri arrived in Hong Kong last year through Marine Italia, which represents Azimut in Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Taiwan and Singapore. The majority of the dealer’s Azimut sales are from the Flybridge and Grande series, but Director Paul Grange believes the Magellano line is gaining a foothold in the region.
“We’ve sold several Magellano models recently including the 25 Metri in Hong Kong and a 53 in Taiwan,” Grange said. “With the recent launch of the new flagship 30 Metri and a new 58 model to follow, it will be interesting to see if the popularity of the Magellano Collection continues to grow in Asia.”
