Azimut 53

Onboard the Azimut 53

The Azimut 53 occupies a practical middle ground for charter groups: at 17 metres she carries a full day's programme for eleven guests without the draft or turning circle that keeps larger yachts to open water. The cockpit, aft sun pad and saloon read as one continuous space, so a party of ten or eleven moves between shade and sun rather than splitting into separate zones for the whole day.

She suits a single group that wants the boat to itself rather than a shared platform — a family taking the coast at their own pace, a small circle of friends running a full-day route, or a compact business gathering that prefers a quieter setting than a restaurant table. Her size keeps options open for shallower bays and shorter transfers between stops, which matters when the plan includes more than one anchorage in a day.

Below deck, three cabins give the Azimut 53 genuine overnight capability if a route runs longer than a single afternoon, while day charters can carry the full eleven guests on board. As with most yachts in this size class, running costs such as fuel are typically handled separately from the charter rate, and it is worth confirming guest numbers and the day's route in advance so the crew can plan stops that suit the group rather than a fixed template.
