Azimut 116

Onboard the Azimut 116

At 36 metres, the Azimut 116 sits in that useful middle ground between a large family cruiser and a full-scale superyacht: enough length for five separate cabins and genuine separation between guest areas, without the operating weight that pushes a charter into a different budget category. The flybridge and aft deck are laid out for groups who want to move between shade, sun and open air over the course of a day rather than stay fixed at one table.

For a full day out of a European base, the yacht suits a route built around two or three stops rather than one long run: an early departure to cover distance while the water is calm, a longer stop for swimming and lunch in a quieter bay away from the main anchorage traffic, and a shorter final leg back with time to spare before sunset. With 12 guests as the working capacity, the boat handles both a close family group with room to spread out and a mixed party of couples and friends without feeling crowded.

Booking practicalities matter as much as the layout here. Because the Azimut 116 sits at a size where day-rate, fuel and the guest-paid running costs (APA) genuinely shift with route length and season, it is worth confirming those figures against the specific dates and distance you have in mind before finalising. Five cabins make it a realistic option for a multi-generational family charter or a small corporate group that wants to overnight rather than return to port each evening.
