Azimut Magellano 60 Reviewed

• By Phil Draper
• December 7, 2023

I find myself in need of the Hogwarts Sorting Hat to properly categorize Azimut’s Magellano 60. Judging by much of the specification sheet and the accommodations plan, it seems like a mainstream flybridge motoryacht. But it’s not. Strictly speaking, the Magellano 60 is a semidisplacement model, but then again, these designs aren’t normally quite so sprightly. Azimut uses the term “crossover” for its Magellanos. It fits.

Longtime designer Ken Freivokh’s work with Azimut on its newer and bigger Magellanos is masterly. His designs have a timeless quality and an elegance that’s so often missing from models with big diesels and top speeds closer to 30 knots than 20.

The 60 marks a new entry-level size for the Magellano range, with the older 43 and 53 Magellanos gone, and the 8-year-old Magellano 66 remaining as the last of the older series to be drawn by Cor D. Rover. The more recent Magellano 25M (an 82-foot raised pilothouse) and Magellano 30M (a 97-foot trideck) are by Freivokh. They share the same design DNA, with bluff bows and signature wooden battens on the after corners of their superstructures.

Outdoor spaces aboard the Magellano 60 include a foredeck terrace with booth seating and sun pads, a big flybridge beneath an optional hardtop, and a generously sized cockpit with a glazed transom panel and a full top-deck overhang for proper shade. Azimut calls the aft deck an “infinity terrace” with bi-fold doors that open to extend the salon. Furniture in the cockpit includes a table and two facing sofas, which means guests look out at the sea rather than back into the boat. There’s also a two-stool bar to port that shares its countertop with an aft galley when the drop-down window is open.

Inside, the decor is by Azimut’s in-house team, with clear influences from bigger sisterships that have 1950s-inspired schemes by Milanese-based architect Vincenzo De Cotiis. Beyond the galley and up one step are a lounge area amidships, a C-booth sofa to port and a pair of two-seat sofas on either side of a coffee/dining table to starboard. The overall palette is light-stained oak veneers and off-whites—all remarkably soothing. The salon views are superb too, particularly to starboard, where the biggest picture window measures a whopping 8 by 5 feet.

Beneath the raked aft windshield, the lower helm has two Aras bucket seats with the wheel inboard, prioritizing access for the skipper. Immediately to port is a dogleg staircase that leads to the deck below.

This is essentially a three-stateroom, three-head yacht with two showers. There are no other layout options. The owner’s space is amidships with en suite facilities to port. The VIP is forward and shares its portside en suite with the twin-berth stateroom across the companionway. A separate day head is there as well.

Power is also one choice only: a pair of 730 hp i6 MAN diesels. With them spinning at their maximum 2,350 rpm, and with the Seakeeper gyrostabilizer engaged, the Magellano 60 had consistent speeds of around 26 knots at half-load. There’s no obvious hop-up onto plane, but I felt a distinct step change passing through 1,600 rpm. Azimut calls the semiplaning hull geometry “dual mode,” which means it is efficient at displacement as well as faster cruise speeds up to 20 knots. According to my data, the yacht will run all day at that speed, which equates to 2,000 rpm. Allowing for a 10 percent reserve, there’s a working range of around 330 nautical miles. Ultimate range could be near 600 nm at 10 knots.

The Magellano 60 is surprisingly nimble too. The hull happily self-levels once the speeds push up into double digits with a 3-degree, bow-up attitude. The wheel remains light but precise, and it will turn this vessel surprisingly quickly. Although I had a calm day and minimal swell during my time on board, I found that the yacht felt most comfortable with the manual trim tabs fully up. They should come into their own in lumpier beam or quartering seas, when the gyro is probably best kept off.

Those engines, incidentally, are hooked up to V-boxes, and the shafts run out via half-tunnels, which help reduce the draft to a Bahamas-friendly 4 feet, 6 inches at full load. The space for the engines beneath the yacht’s cockpit sole is compact, but the machinery area does not encroach beneath the salon, which makes for a particularly quiet boat. I recorded just 67 decibels at the lower helm at 20 knots, 72 decibels in the owner’s stateroom and 62 decibels in the VIP.

There is an option to specify the lazarette as a single-berth crew cabin. Either way, this space has its own entrance from the port side of the hydraulic swim platform.

Like other newer Magellanos, the 60 that I got aboard had a striking custom paint job, this one a blue-green metallic hull. Italians call it ottanio. Americans call it teal after the duck. A light-gold boot top set it off. The standard specification includes white gelcoat.

The Azimut Magellano 60 premiered at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. Once production hits stride, the builder expects to deliver one every two weeks.

Sustainable Diesel

The Azimut Magellano 60 I got aboard ran on hydrogenated vegetable oil instead of diesel. The claims for this sustainable fuel include emissions reductions from 60 to 90 percent, depending on the raw materials used during the refining process. Thanks to a deal with Italian producer Eni Sustainable Mobility, all Azimut owners can request delivery of new boats with HVOlution biofuel in the tanks.

Formidable Flagship

The Azimut Magellano 60 is the start of the builder’s four-model Magellano range. On the other end of the range is the 97-foot, 6-inch Magellano 30 Metri. The 30 Metri is notable for its ability to hold more than 3,800 gallons of fuel while consuming about 15 percent less than traditional hard-chine planing hulls. Twin 1,500 hp MAN diesels give the 30 Metri a reported 16-knot cruise speed and a 20-knot top hop.

Magellano 60: On board Azimut's latest family model

It’s a sultry day in Viareggio, the Tuscan seaside town that’s part beach resort, part shipbuilding hub, and the new Azimut Magellano 60 has just arrived in town. Ahead of its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, we enjoyed a sneak preview of the latest model in a series that comprises boats from 18 to 30 metres and look similarly good across the entire gamut.

The Magellano series kicked off with a Ken Freivokh -designed 22.6-metre cruiser that combined the no nonsense looks of a trawler with the glamour that comes with large glazed surfaces and chic, contemporary interiors. The 18.5-metre Azimut Magellano 60, lying dockside in Azimut’s Viareggio shipyard, has the same straight bow, horizontal hull lines and teak inserts in the fashion plates as her bigger sisters, and the hull colour of choice remains ottanio , a lovely dark teal that looks like deep water. 

Freivokh explains the Magellano philosophy: “The 60 is the latest of a very focused line-up that started more than 10 years ago in close cooperation with the Azimut team,” he says. “In line with the most recent models, such as the 25M and 30M, the 60 benefits from a fresh approach aimed at achieving a very purposeful little yacht while further developing the timeless elegance that has been a hallmark of the range. An essential attribute of the full range is the stated objective to offer a design that is suited for living on board, for exploring and for accommodating a family in comfort. In contrast with most planing boats, the Magellano 60 is designed to really live at sea.”

Swedish naval architects Profjord AB and Azimut’s own R&D Department designed an efficient new Dual Mode hull that runs solidly with a comfortable top speed of about 25 knots and a cruising speed of 18 knots. As we pull off the dock, the boat’s shaft drive propulsion system and twin 730-horsepower MAN engines let off a familiar grumble that fits well with the Magellano’s trawler aesthetic. But old-fashioned this is not: the boat can run on Eni’s HVOlution biofuel as well as traditional fuel to offer the extra value of greener navigation.

As the name implies, the Magellano series is about exploring and going the distance. Outdoor living areas are a key part of the package, and while the 60 may be the series’ little sister, her extra-large aft deck provides plenty of space for easy living. Longitudinal sofas face each other and overlook the water, while a teak-capped glass bulwark leaves views to the swimming platform free and clear. “We aimed to offer the best possible views of the ocean, and to achieve this we proposed an open transom and the incorporation of a glass cutaway transom,” Freivokh explains.

The galley is set aft in the saloon and becomes part of the aft deck by simply opening the door between the two areas and dropping a sliding window into the bar. This convivial setup, complete with bar stools, makes cooking and serving drinks for friends all part of sharing the fun.

Just one step up from the cockpit and galley, the saloon is like a glasshouse with views straight through and side to side; if the difference in temperature and humidity wasn’t so great, you could almost forget you were indoors. Freivokh points out the design highlights: “Signature details and unique features developed and improved on every successive model in the range, including the very recent Magellano 30M, have successfully migrated to the smaller yet quite unique Magellano 60. The midship seating groups enjoy these panoramic views thanks to the dropped bulwark sides.” The yacht’s teal hull colour is picked up and repeated in the carpeting, and soft, curved furnishings in shades of white are set off by black accents like the piping on a Chanel suit. The same colour scheme is used in the three bright and spacious cabins, a VIP forward, a twin and an owner’s cabin amidships, giving the boat a unified and coherent look.

The indoor helm station, just one step up from the cockpit and galley, is an integral part of the saloon so that everyone aboard can appreciate the boat at work. Raymarine touchscreens and joystick controls make navigation easy and intuitive too. But there is no better spot to helm than on the flybridge, where there is, as Freivokh points out, “great views and also excellent protection from the elements”. The elements are rather welcoming on the day of hot sunshine and flat seas we’re experiencing. These aren’t the most extreme conditions for testing the boat’s seakeeping capabilities, but it’s perfect for seeing what life on board could feel like. And it could feel good.

The helming position fore is flanked by a sunpad whose headrest slides back to become part of the seating around the dining table when needed. Owners can install an outdoor kitchen with a grill and can choose to mount a carbon fibre hardtop, a bimini or even to leave the space entirely open. The same seating with backrests to convert from sunpad to sofa is used on the foredeck, making this another versatile outdoor space that can be used all day, cruising along in the sunshine while watching the world go by or enjoying a drink at anchor.

The up/down beach platform can be used both for swimming and for launching the tender or toys, and who would guess that what looks like a storage unit on the aft deck is actually a companionway that leads to a crew cabin, an essential feature for owners who want to charter or who like to be able to kick back and fully relax after a day on the water.

If Magellano in the Azimut sense means seaworthiness, flexibility of use and efficiency, the Magellano 60 packs all of these into a tidy package. With Freivokh’s timeless exterior lines and a well-planned and elegant interior, this is one little sister that knows how to live up to expectations.

Azimut Magellano 60 Review: Enchanting Voyages on the Horizon

The newcomer to the popular Magellano series is a delightful yacht ideal for cruising lovers, charming with timeless exterior, attractive interior and comfort in navigation

Discover the Azimut Magellano 60: A Newcomer in the Popular Series

Currently the smallest model in Azimut ’s crossover series Magellano, the new Magellano 60 debuted at the Cannes Boat Show . According to the builder, this new model aims for a contemporary style with a distinctly Italian feel, but holding on to the philosophy of the Magellano series – practical solutions, spaciousness and efficiency, with as little impact on the environment as possible and, of course, with readiness to face any and all weather conditions.

Interesting in many aspects, the new Azimut S8 Myne boasts great performance, large open exterior spaces and an elegantly designed interior. She accommodates up to 9 guests in 4 stylish staterooms and carries onboard 3 crew members.

Recognizable exterior lines of the Magellano series are still there, and the tall hull with a blunt bow unmistakably reveal this model to be another navetta. Large oval windows on the sides of the hull and smaller ones on the bow are also features of the current series present on its latest model.

The tall superstructure is glazed, with the dark glazing interrupted only by six horizontal wooden lines on the aft part of the superstructure, and the white roof. The flybridge has been moved slightly aft, and the highest point of the exterior is the carrier mast for the T-top. The T-top also serves the bow part of the flybridge.

The spacious aft platform can be submerged thanks to a hydraulic system, which allows tender lifting maneuvers, and it’s definitely spacious enough to serve as a beach club. Starboard and aft, there is a dedicated door of the crew cabin, and to the port, the entrance to the main deck interior.

Next to this glazed wall separating the interior and exterior aft part of the main deck lies the dining room, with the table surrounded by sofas. The sofas transform into a large bed with direct view of the sea. The relaxed feel of this space is further enhanced by a small bar with two bar stools right from the entrance and next to the galley.

Located to the left from the door, the semi-circular galley was designed to be as inconspicuous as possible, with wenge wood and black kitchen tops.

Interior Layout and Features: A Closer Look

The salon lies right next to the galley, but one step above, with the floor changing form wood to plush carpeting that continues in the rest of the interior. To the left, there is a large U-shaped sofa, while to the right, there are two small sofas and a small dining table. The interior helm station with two seats is served by a large and wide windshield, and boasts an elegant steering wheel rarely seen on vessels this size.

The predominant use of light tones in the interior in combination with discreet decorative elements in wenge wood lines or designer lighting fixtures give the interior and exterior a timeless feel and guarantee that the Azimut Magellano 60 will not lose its attractiveness for decades to come. To the right of the helm, a semi-circular staircase leads to the corridor connecting all three cabins.

The flybridge is well thought through, comfortable enough for a full day out in the open. Under the area protected by a T-top, whose central part opens for more sun, lies the exterior helm station, with two seats, a semi-circular sofa, a dining table and an element with several refrigerating units, while another bar behind the T-top structure holds an electric kettle, a sink and an ice maker. Interestingly, on the flybridge there is a rarely seen outdoor shower, connected to the T-top.

On the bow, there is a lounge with a spacious sunpad and a sofa hugging a small table, another cozy and private spot ideal for leisure cruising.

We found the cruising side of our experience extremely pleasant, as Azimut Magellano 60 is equipped with a classic shaft, a bow and stern thruster, and a joystick for easy steering. This all makes it easy to handle, and easy to maneuver into small berths and crowded ports, especially from the exterior helm, which enjoys excellent visibility.

In navigation, the new Magellano 60 handled taller waves smoothly, with the Seakeeper 9 smoothing out any subsequent rolling. The steering is prompt and precise, and the model boasts a small turning radius without losing much speed in turns. However, the most interesting technical detail is efficiency, result of the excellent design of the semi-displacement Dual Mode hull.

The Performance of the Azimut Magellano 60 at Sea

The cruising speed is a pleasant 18 to 20 knots at 2000 rpm, with a consumption of 95 liters per hour per engine, while the maximum speed we achieved was 26.5 knots, with a consumption of 150 liters per hour per engine.

With its striking design and excellent performance, the new Azimut Magellano 60 may be the smallest of the series, but it’s also the best indicator of its quality, as well as a safe choice for a large number of owners looking for a comfortable and efficient yacht.

ABOUT THE Magellano 60

The Azimut Magellano 60 is a 60-foot luxury explorer yacht with a flybridge that was launched by the iconic Italian yacht-building company Azimut in August 2023. An elegant and charming profile with plenty of glass, cutaway gunwales and modern al-fresco lounge spaces dripping with European style make this one of the most chic yachts in its class today. There are heritage touches here, too, in the sophisticated dark livery, the teak accents to the superstructure, the classic lines in startling white fiberglass and a prominent, wave-slicing bow-entry. A serious piece of nautical engineering, this yacht was crafted in partnership with industry legend Ken Freivokh for rugged seaworthiness, competitive overall speeds and the ability to explore the Norwegian fjords, round the tip of Baja California or head out to the Bahamas with poise and purpose.

The elevated flybridge is topped by a floating hard-top with a central glazed panel, a striped teak sole and an open aspect at the rear for an elemental and breezy atmosphere. Lounge on twin Batyline sunpads to aft, retire to a sprawling seating area to port with a U-shaped sofa, a dining table and a forward sunpad, or prepare drinks at a pair of wet-bar stations lined in carved timber with grill and ice-chipper facilities. A starboard upper helm station boasts superb visibility and a pair of leather-lined piloting seats for confident navigation with the wind in your face.

On the main-deck there is a plush and secluded foredeck with a U-shaped forward sofa and an adaptable bow lounge that can be utilized as one massive sunpad or as a sofa, while in the aft-cockpit there are a pair of sofas surrounding a dining table with views out beyond a glazed transom wall. Also available back here is a full-beam hydraulic bathing platform and a bar with stools that connects to the aft-galley when the sliding glass doors have been flung wide open. The stylish main-deck salon features deluxe materials like Viennese straw accents, textured wall panels, dark wood surrounds, a parquet floor, glass bulkheads, mottled Ottanio carpets and demure upholstery for a fashionable and comfortable vibe, while 360-degrees of mullioned glazing really allows the natural light to stream in. Upon entry in here there is an open aft-galley with all the amenities needed for long-distance travel, while further forward there is a U-shaped sofa, a bespoke coffee table, a dining booth and the yacht’s main helm station. This non-glare, modern dashboard boasts a pair of oversized Raymarine Gold touch-screens, twin monitoring tablets, a timber-lined, power-assisted steering wheel, thruster controls, a Seakeeper stabilizer switch and joystick handling.

Spaciousness seems to be the theme down on the elegant lower-deck, where a trio of staterooms all impress with their own marble-lined en-suite bathroom facilities and walk-in wet-room showers. A twin berth to starboard is joined by a VIP cabin to the bow with a queen-sized, a pair of full-height lockers and lozenge-shaped hull windows. A full-beam owner’s stateroom is positioned amidship and features a queen-sized island bed, a side sofa, two lockers and hand-crafted cabinets, along with generous head clearance and rounded, horizontal glazing. A single crew cabin for one is accessed via the transom and includes its own bathroom facilities.

Powered by twin 730HP MAN i6 diesel engines, you can expect full-throttle speeds of up to 26 knots and an economy cruise of around 18 knots. You will be out on the water all week long and then some thanks to a fuel tank holding up to 964 gallons of diesel and an eco-friendly design, while a Profjord semi-planing dual-mode hull with a category B rating has been optimized for offshore expeditions and ambitious voyages of discovery.

AZIMUT MAGELLANO 60

A promising debut .

Home » Boat » Motor Yacht » AZIMUT MAGELLANO 60

Presentation

Yacht class n°35 (dec 2023/jan-feb 2024), azimut-benetti group.

The Magellano family now has its entry-level model, this 60-foot designed by Azimut and Ken Freihvok. The DNA of the range has been fully respected, with an emphasis on the livability and comfort that will make cruising a pleasure. Not to mention the Dual Mode hull, renowned for its high performance. 

Written by : Alain Brousse – Photos : DR

Within the Azimut-Benetti Group, the Azimut brand is above all a perfect example of diversity. It explores the four most popular genres: open hard-top, sportfly, flybridge and, since 2007, the “Crossover” style. So far, 25 models from 40 to 100 feet. The Magellano family, which up to now included the 66, 25m. and the 30m., is presenting an entry-level model, the 60 foot, that made her debut at the last Cannes Yachting Festival. Like her big sisters, she has a Navetta-like silhouette with a touch of Explorer. Her creators, the shipyard and the architect designer Ken Freihvok, have decided to call her “Crossover” because of her profile. 

A very convivial reception area 

As this type of boat emphasises the volume of its interior, it’s easy to imagine it, if only by looking at the high freeboard and the superstructures, which are quite massive for a boat of this size. These house the reception area, designed for relaxing, snacking, dining and steering. Once on the main deck, an open-plan galley is cleverly positioned to serve both the starboard dining area (6 guests) and the cockpit. An advantage is that it doesn’t block the view aft. This reception area, with a very comfortable U-shaped settee (6 people) to port and a lounge-like saloon to starboard, has plenty of natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views. Forward, still to starboard, the pilot and co-pilot enjoy two ergonomic chairs. The helm station blends perfectly with Azimut’s contemporary interior design.

All the cabins on the lower deck

On the Magellano 60, all three cabins are located belowdecks. Each has its own en suite bathroom with independant shower. The owner will enjoy the largest, full-beam one located amidships. With a headroom of 2.05m, it features a king-size bed, two dressing cabinets and a two-person settee that could easily be replaced by a desk/dressing table. The VIP cabin is located forward, while the third cabin is a smaller twin. Finally, there is a cabin located aft of the lower deck with a shower-toilet area, should the owner wish to entrust the boat to a skipper.

Comfortable outdoors

Family cruising would not be possible without attractive and comfortable outdoors. The stern does not offer a beach club, but it does have a teak platform, which is partially submersible to facilitate the launch of the tender (length: 4.25 m), strapped on a cradle, as the Magellano 60 has no garage. It is also ideal for swimming. On starboard, a staircase leads to the cockpit, entirely protected by the flybridge, whose layout allows to make the most of the sea view, thanks in part to the glazed upper part of the transom. Adjacent to this saloon, the open-plan galley makes for a very pleasant mealtime. The gangways lead us to the foredeck, which is a veritable invitation to farniente. This 17 m 2 area is dedicated to relaxation, with an U-shaped settee facing a sofa and a table in between. This space would not be complete without the traditional sunbed for four guests. The Magellano 60 has three-decks, including a very welcoming flybridge whose aft section can either offer two L-shaped sofas with coffee tables or four deckchairs. In addition to sunbathing sessions, relaxation is also on the menu with the saloon, protected by the opening roof, offering a place for snacks or meals thanks to the kitchenette (fridge and grill). And since the weather was fine, we set sights on the flybridge helm station (two armchairs) for the navigation phase of this sea trial.

A Dual Mode hull

Like her big sisters, the Magellano 60 has a “Dual Mode” hull developed by Azimut and the architect Pier Luigi Ausonio. This semi-planing hull has been studied to offer high efficiency and, as a result, reasonable fuel consumption, with lower CO 2 emissions. Actually, a Magellano has even been tested with diesels running on biofuel. Azimut ‘ s design teams aim for ‘ low emission ‘ . We steered this 60-foot from the flybridge where the view is unobstructed. Partially protected by a windscreen, we enjoyed the pleasure of sailing on a slightly ‘ squally ‘ Mediterranean sea. In these conditions, the Magellano sailed smoothly and the rare wakes we crossed had no effect on it. She has a top speed of 26.2 knots thanks to her two MAN16 diesels (2 x 730 hp), the only configuration available. The shipyard recommends a cruising speed of 20 knots for a range of 400 miles. At 10 knots, she can travel 650 miles without refuelling. At the end of the visit and sea trial, it ‘ s clear that this unit has qualities that make it a model with a bright future.
