The larger crossover
The 27M is one of the biggest boats in the Magellano collection, offering five cabins and two crew cabins. Extra beam over the 25M gives it more interior and deck volume for a larger group. It answers owners who want long-range capability with room to host in number. The size gives it a steady, assured feel at sea, with the reserves to keep going through a long, testing afternoon. For buyers who gather a crowd and still want to cross open water, it keeps the go-anywhere character intact.
The Magellano all-weather concept underpins the boat, with a hull built for comfort and efficiency over open water. The generous beam pays off in wide corridors and large cabins below. The interior favours warm, natural materials in a homely style. The result is a crossover scaled for serious, extended cruising. It reads as a proper long-range yacht with real capacity, able to carry a full party in comfort for weeks.
Design and deck
The 27M wears the purposeful Magellano profile with protected side decks and a secure feel for movement in a seaway. Cockpit, saloon and flybridge give several distinct outdoor and indoor living areas. Big windows keep the interior bright on long passages. An optional hardtop shades the upper deck. Every element favours comfort and security at sea.
The extra width makes the deck spaces genuinely roomy for a large group at anchor. A bathing platform and tender stowage support an active life on the water. The flybridge gives commanding views for the person at the helm, welcome on a long passage in changeable weather. Handholds and walkways are built for real conditions. It is a boat designed to be lived aboard comfortably for weeks.
A five-cabin crossover with extra beam and all-weather sea-keeping for long voyages with a bigger group aboard.
Interior and accommodation
Below deck the 27M sleeps ten guests across five cabins, with the width giving spacious, liveable volumes. The interior favours warm, natural materials and a homely feel suited to long stays. Natural light fills the cabins and the main-deck saloon. Hull windows keep the lower deck bright. The owner's cabin gives a genuine sense of retreat.
Two crew cabins support professional operation on longer programmes, and the galley is set up for real cooking on passage. Storage is generous for the extended cruising the boat is built for. The layout keeps a large group comfortable through changeable weather. Materials are chosen to wear well over long seasons. It comfortably hosts a big group over long trips.
Engineering and range
Buyers choose twin MAN engines at 1400 or 1,650 hp, giving a top speed of around 21 to 24 knots. The Magellano hull is tuned for efficient, comfortable cruising over long distances. This is a boat built to cover ground in comfort with a full guest list. The sea-keeping supports ambitious itineraries. Owners get a stable, dry ride in a range of conditions.
The hull stays composed in a seaway, keeping long passages comfortable when the weather builds. The boat holds an easy attitude at cruising speed. Handling stays predictable and reassuring for the crew. Efficiency supports long legs between stops, the quiet virtue that lets the 27M range so freely. It is engineered for people who cruise widely and stay out long, well beyond the reach of a coastal cruiser.
The owner it suits
The Magellano 27M is for the owner who wants long-range crossover comfort with room for a larger group. Buyers who host in number and cruise for weeks will value the five cabins and generous beam. It suits a small crew and open-water ambitions. The extra volume supports proper hosting aboard. For many buyers it is the crossover that finally fits the whole family.
It also appeals to families that gather in number and want a capable boat to explore together. The two crew cabins support longer programmes. For extended, self-directed voyages with a full complement aboard, the 27M is well sized. Its all-weather character keeps resale interest strong. Owning one opens up a wider cruising map for a crowd, with the beam and the cabins to keep everyone comfortable.
What Does Azimut's Dual Mode Hull Actually Do on the Magellano 27M
Most motor yachts settle into one hull philosophy and stay there. A full-displacement trawler is efficient at 9 or 10 knots and does not want to go much faster. A planing sports cruiser wants to get up on top of the water and stay there, burning a lot of fuel at anything below its cruising rpm. Azimut's Dual Mode hull, refined across three generations of the Magellano range and now applied to the 27M, is built to avoid that trade off. The vertical bow and double bilge give the hull a long effective waterline and control spray at low speed, while wide upper chines add stability without the flat, slappy ride of a pure planing hull. A central longitudinal fin helps keep the boat tracking straight as speed rises, which matters more on a 26 metre hull than it does on something half the size.
In practice this means the 27M can leave harbour at 9 or 10 knots for an economical overnight passage, then open the throttles later in the day and settle into a 16 to 18 knot cruise, or push to 21 knots on the standard 1,400 mhp engines and up to 23 to 24 knots with the optional 1,650 mhp package, without changing character in between. Azimut and its naval architecture partner P.L. Ausonio describe the transition as a shift in the hydrodynamics rather than a hard switch, so there is no single speed at which the boat feels wrong. For a buyer choosing between the Magellano 27M and a conventional explorer yacht, this is the actual argument for Dual Mode: not a marketing label for one more variable deadrise hull, but the reason the 27M can be sold as both a long range voyager and a boat that can still keep a reasonable pace when the owner wants one.
المحركات والأنظمة
| Engines | Twin MAN V12 diesels, in two power options: 1,400 mhp per engine (2,800 mhp total, standard) or 1,650 mhp per engine (3,300 mhp total, optional). Confirmed by Azimut Yachts' official spec sheet and Boat International/YachtBuyer reporting on the Cannes 2026 launch. |
|---|---|
| Top speed | 21 knots with the 1,400 mhp engines, 23 to 24 knots with the 1,650 mhp option. Cruising speed 16 to 18 knots. Consistent across Azimut's own figures and boatnews.com's technical writeup. |
| Gearboxes | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. |
| Generators | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. Smaller Magellano models use 20.5 to 28 kW units, but that cannot be assumed to carry over to the 27M. |
| Stabilisers | Azimut offers passive or active stabilisation depending on configuration, per Yachtwerk's writeup on the model. The specific make, model or fin size is not disclosed in any source found. |
| Bow and stern thrusters | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. |
| Watermaker | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. |
| Fuel tankage | 10,500 litres (2,774 US gallons). Matches across Azimut's official spec sheet, boatnews.com and YachtBuyer's fleet listing for the first hull. |
| Fresh water tankage | 2,200 litres (581 US gallons). Confirmed the same way, across Azimut's own figures, boatnews.com and YachtBuyer. |
| Range | boatnews.com states roughly 1,000 nautical miles at 12 knots. This figure has not been repeated or corroborated by any second independent source, so treat it as indicative rather than verified. |
| Engine room access | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. |
| Dual Mode hull, explained | A semi-planing hull developed jointly by P.L. Ausonio Naval Architecture and Azimut's own R&D. It combines a vertical bow with a double bilge and wide upper chines, plus a central longitudinal fin for steering stability. At low speed the wide chines give displacement-like stability and fuel economy; as rpm rises the hydrodynamics shift toward lower resistance, letting the boat run efficiently anywhere between about 12 and 24 knots. Reported consistently by Azimut Yachts, boatnews.com and Boat International. |
نقاط القوة وما يستدعي الانتباه
نقاط القوة
- Genuine speed range, not just a marketing numberThe Dual Mode hull is reported to work usefully from about 12 to 24 knots, so the same boat can loaf across an ocean passage and still put in a respectable coastal run, rather than being tuned for one gait only.
- Cruising-focused layout with real living spaceFive guest cabins plus two crew cabins on a 26.2m hull, built around a main-deck loggia that opens the interior to the sea, a deliberate architectural choice rather than a squeezed-in extra cabin.
- Efficient at the speeds owners will actually useYachtwerk reports that fuel burn at moderate cruising speeds is considerably lower than a comparably sized sports cruiser, because the MAN engines and hull are optimised for mid-range running rather than top end.
- Third-generation hull, not a first tryThe Dual Mode concept has been refined across the Magellano range since it launched, so the 27M inherits a hull idea already tested at sea on smaller and larger sisterships, even though this exact hull length is new.
ما يستدعي الانتباه
- Too new for any independent verificationThe 27M had its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026. There is no independent sea trial, owner report or long-term reliability record yet, and none should be assumed to exist.
- Pricing is effectively unpublishedOnly one dealer listing (Azimut's Montenegro distributor) states a price of 8,500,000. Azimut's own site, MarineMax and YachtBuyer all withhold price and route buyers to a quote request, so this figure has not been independently corroborated and should be treated as indicative only.
- Key mechanical specs are simply not public yetGenerator output, thruster capability, watermaker capacity and gearbox make are absent from Azimut's own spec sheet and from every dealer and press source checked. A buyer cannot compare these against rivals from published data alone.
- Range claim rests on a single, uncorroborated sourceThe only concrete range figure found, about 1,000nm at 12 knots, has not been repeated anywhere else, so it falls short of a two-source bar for a hard number.
معلومات عملية
| Price new | One source only: Azimut's Montenegro distributor lists the Magellano 27M at 8,500,000. No second independent source confirms this figure. Azimut's own international site, MarineMax and YachtBuyer all withhold price and direct buyers to request a quote. |
|---|---|
| Used or brokerage price | None exist. The model only had its world premiere at Cannes Yachting Festival 2026 and the first hull was built in 2026; a YachtBuyer listing for that hull explicitly states it is not currently for sale. |
| Running and service costs | Not disclosed in any source found for this page. |
| How to buy or charter | New boats are sold through Azimut's dealer network; all current listings route to a quote or contact request rather than a fixed price. No charter listings for the 27M were found, consistent with it being a brand new, just-launched model. |
| Comparables | Sits above Azimut's own Magellano 25M and below the Magellano 30M in the same Dual Mode family. Against long-range motor yachts from other yards it is most often mentioned alongside full-displacement explorer types such as Nordhavn's larger models and semi-displacement crossovers like the Absolute Navetta line. |
| What is not published | A confirmed factory price (only one dealer figure exists), generator output, thruster specification, watermaker capacity, gearbox make, draft, displacement and a verified range figure (only one uncorroborated source gives a number). |
