Azimut 60

Onboard the Azimut 60

The Azimut 60 sits at a practical size for private groups: 18.5 metres, three cabins, and a guest capacity of ten that keeps the boat sociable without feeling stretched. The aft deck is built for al-fresco dining, giving the yacht a natural centre of gravity for lunch service or a relaxed dinner on the water rather than a below-deck retreat — most of the day happens outside, in the open air, with the cabin layout reserved for changing, resting or sheltering from midday sun.

Cruising at around 30 knots, the Azimut 60 covers ground quickly, which matters on Mallorca's coastline where the interesting anchorages are not always close to the marina. A charter from Puerto Portals or Club de Mar can reach the calmer water east toward Porto Cristo and the string of calas beyond it inside a half day, or run a shorter two-to-four-hour loop through the Bay of Palma for an evening on the water with the Serra de Tramuntana as backdrop. For guests staying out longer, provisioning can be arranged through Palma's market and quayside suppliers ahead of departure, so a short multi-day charter doesn't mean compromising on what's on board.

This is a fair-sized boat for a family stretching across three cabins, a small group of couples travelling together, or a corporate booking where ten guests want a private lunch afloat rather than a restaurant table. It suits both a single-day outing timed around swimming stops and a slightly longer itinerary along the east coast, provided the route and any provisioning are agreed with the charter broker in advance rather than decided at the dock.
