Un crossover serio
Il 25M porta il concetto Magellano per ogni tempo alla piena misura dei 25 metri con quattro cabine e due cabine equipaggio. È impostato per un piccolo equipaggio professionale e per itinerari lunghi e ambiziosi. La barca risponde ad armatori che vogliono navigare in acque aperte in vera comodità. La misura le dà una sensazione stabile e sicura in mare e le riserve per insistere là dove una barca più corta rallenterebbe. Per acquirenti con una carta nautica più ampia in mente e la voglia di acque aperte, è un obiettivo naturale.
Lo scafo Magellano a doppia modalità è il cuore della barca, costruito per restare efficiente e composto sia alle basse velocità dislocanti sia in crociera più rapida. Quella flessibilità permette all'armatore di rallentare per guadagnare autonomia o di insistere quando il programma lo richiede. Gli interni prediligono materiali caldi e materici in uno stile domestico e vivibile. Il risultato è un crossover nel senso più vero. Si legge come un vero yacht a lungo raggio, costruito per rendere una traversata un piacere invece che una prova.
Progetto e coperta
Il 25M porta il profilo determinato dei Magellano con passavanti protetti e una sensazione rialzata e sicura negli spostamenti con mare formato. Pozzetto, salone e flybridge offrono più aree di vita distinte per viaggi lunghi. Le grandi finestre tengono luminosi gli interni sulle traversate prolungate. Un hardtop opzionale ombreggia il ponte superiore. Ogni elemento privilegia comfort e sicurezza in mare.
Gli spazi di coperta privilegiano la navigazione sicura, con una piattaforma bagno e lo stivaggio del tender per una vita attiva all'ancora. Il flybridge offre una plancia e vita all'aperto con viste dominanti sulla prua e sul mare davanti. Tientibene e camminamenti sono costruiti per condizioni reali. Lo stivaggio si presta a una navigazione autosufficiente. È una barca progettata per essere vissuta a bordo per settimane.
Un crossover di 25 metri con scafo a doppia modalità costruito per attraversare acque aperte in comodità, piano o veloce.
Interni e sistemazioni
Sotto coperta il 25M ospita gli ospiti in quattro cabine, e la larghezza garantisce volumi generosi e vivibili. Gli interni prediligono materiali caldi e materici e un carattere domestico adatto a soggiorni lunghi a bordo. La luce naturale riempie le cabine e il salone del ponte principale. Le finestre a scafo tengono luminoso il ponte inferiore. La cabina armatoriale dà un vero senso di rifugio.
Due cabine equipaggio sostengono una conduzione professionale su programmi più lunghi e con equipaggio. La cucina è organizzata per cucinare davvero in navigazione, e lo stivaggio è generoso per navigazioni prolungate. Il layout tiene comodi gli ospiti anche con tempo variabile. I materiali sono scelti per resistere bene lungo stagioni lunghe. È un interno costruito per armatori che percorrono davvero la distanza.
Ingegneria e autonomia
L'acquirente sceglie due MAN V12 da 1.400 o 1.550 hp, per una velocità massima intorno ai 24-25 nodi. Lo scafo a doppia modalità permette alla barca di navigare in modo efficiente alle velocità dislocanti per guadagnare autonomia oppure di salire in planata più veloce quando serve. Questa flessibilità è la firma Magellano. La tenuta di mare sostiene con facilità tratte impegnative in acque aperte. L'armatore ottiene un'andatura stabile e asciutta in condizioni varie.
Lo scafo resta composto con mare formato, così le lunghe traversate restano comode quando il tempo peggiora. La barca tiene un assetto docile alla velocità di crociera. La condotta resta prevedibile e rassicurante per l'equipaggio. L'efficienza sostiene tratte lunghe tra una sosta e l'altra, permettendo all'armatore di pianificare una rotta attorno alla costa che vuole vedere. È progettato per chi usa la barca come un vero mezzo di viaggio, coprendo centinaia di miglia tra un porto e l'altro.
L'armatore a cui è adatto
Il Magellano 25M è per l'armatore con ambizioni reali a lungo raggio, che mette comfort e tenuta di mare davanti alla velocità pura. Chi programma traversate in acque aperte e navigazioni prolungate apprezzerà lo scafo a doppia modalità. Si presta a un piccolo equipaggio e a itinerari ambiziosi. Il layout a quattro cabine sostiene veri viaggi in famiglia. Per molti acquirenti è lo yacht capace di andare ovunque che aspettavano.
Piace anche alle famiglie che vogliono una barca capace per esplorare per settimane intere. Le due cabine equipaggio sostengono programmi più lunghi. Per una crociera d'avventura decisa in proprio, il 25M è una scelta comoda alla scala di un'ammiraglia. Il suo carattere per ogni tempo mantiene forte l'interesse alla rivendita. Possederne uno apre un terreno di crociera molto più ampio e la libertà di pianificare attorno al mare invece che alle previsioni.
Motori e impianti
| Engines | 2 x MAN V12 diesel, offered at either 1,400hp or 1,550hp per engine (consistent across Azimut official site, Yachting Magazine, and Barche Magazine). |
|---|---|
| Top speed | Cited as 24-25kn by Azimut's own site, but independent sea-trial readings were lower: 23.6kn (Yachting Magazine, half-load trial) and 23.0kn (Boat International); Barche Magazine and Yachts Croatia both cite ~25kn. Actual top speed depends on engine option and load, and published figures do not agree. |
| Cruise speed | Disputed across sources: 18-19kn (Azimut official), 19kn at 2,000rpm (Yachting Magazine sea trial), 20kn (Boat International), 21kn 'optimal cruising' (Barche Magazine), 18kn (Yachts Croatia). |
| Range | ~350nm at cruise speed with 10% reserve, per Yachting Magazine's sea-trial-derived calculation; up to ~1,500nm at 9.5kn in displacement mode, exploiting the Dual Mode hull's low-speed efficiency. No official Azimut range figure independently verified beyond this. |
| Fuel capacity | 8,100 liters (Azimut official spec) vs. 8,000 liters (Yachts Croatia) - minor discrepancy between sources. |
| Water capacity | 1,500 liters - consistent across all sources checked. |
| Generators / house power | A 28kW generator option is referenced in brokerage-listing summaries. Azimut's own site also describes a 75kWh lithium battery bank enabling a 'Zero-Emission Hotel Mode' for overnight hotel-load operation without running the generator. |
| Stabilization | Humphree electric fin stabilizers with interceptors for trim control at all speeds, per Barche Magazine's technical write-up. |
| Thrusters | Bow and stern thrusters are fitted; specific kW/power ratings were not found published independently. One brokerage listing notes a stern thruster as an optional item rather than universally standard. |
| Hull / superstructure construction | Dual Mode semi-planing hull (GRP plus carbon fiber) by naval architect Pierluigi Ausonio (Studio Piana) working with Azimut's in-house R&D/Technical Department - featuring an upper chine for low-speed stability, a lower chine to cut resistance at higher speeds, and a central skeg for directional stability, transitioning from displacement to planing mode around 16kn. The superstructure uses 'Carbon Tech' construction claimed to cut weight by up to 30%. Note: this hull lineage is distinct from the Bill Dixon-designed hulls used on the earlier/smaller Magellano models (43 through 76); the 25M's Dual Mode hull is a separate, newer design credited to Ausonio. |
| Naval architecture / design credits | Naval architecture/hull: Pierluigi Ausonio (Studio Piana) with Azimut R&D. Exterior design: Ken Freivokh. Interior design: Vincenzo De Cotiis (concept), executed with Azimut's own interior design team. |
| Full dimensions | LOA 25.22m (82'9"); beam cited as either 6.30m (Azimut official) or 6.35m (Boat International, Barche Magazine, Yachts Croatia); draft 1.90m; displacement cited variously as 87.5 tonnes (Azimut official), 85,000kg, or 85.8 tons depending on source; gross tonnage 136.0 GT. Cabins/guests: 4 guest cabins + 2 crew cabins, 8 guests + 3 crew (Azimut official, Boat International) - though Yachts Croatia's review cites 5 cabins and 10 guests maximum, a discrepancy that is not explained by any source found. |
Cosa riferiscono armatori ed equipaggi
No genuine owner-specific testimony found for the 25M itself
Extensive searching across YachtForums.com, Trawler Forum, and YBW Forum found no owner threads specific to the Magellano 25M. The model is comparatively new (first deliveries around 2020) and low-volume, so it has not generated the kind of multi-year owner-forum discussion that older Magellano sizes have. Everything found on the 25M itself is press sea-trial coverage or brokerage/dealer copy, not independent owner testimony.
YachtForums, Trawler Forum, YBW Forum (searched, no 25M-specific owner threads found)Broader Magellano-range owners (43/50/74/76, NOT the 25M) report the dual-mode hull is genuinely fuel-efficient and rides well
In a long-running YachtForums thread covering the Magellano 43, 50, 74 and 76, one member (screen name AlfredZ) with Mediterranean experience wrote the hulls are 'strong enough and ride fairly well' with gelcoat that 'lasts a long time,' and another (Capt J) said the engineering 'leaves very little to be desired.' A member (CaptCook) separately praised the 'dual mode hull with 2 cruising speeds' as fuel efficient after viewing the 50 at a boat show. None of this is about the 25M specifically, but it is the closest genuine owner sentiment available on the Dual Mode hull concept the 25M inherits.
YachtForums.com owner thread (general Magellano range, not 25M-specific)A forum member flagged limited fresh-water endurance as a real-world constraint on the Magellano range
On the same YachtForums thread, member Capt J estimated the 1,500-liter water tank (the same capacity fitted to the 25M) would last '3-4 days, maybe 5 days, under normal usage with 4 people' - a practical limitation for extended cruising without watermaking or refill stops.
YachtForums.com owner thread (general Magellano range, not 25M-specific)US after-sales service and build-quality reputation was called out as weaker than in Europe
Forum commentary (both the YachtForums thread and a separate Trawler Forum search summary) noted Azimut 'doesn't have a great rep for build quality for U.S.-destined boats, and it's even less good for after-sale service' in the US, contrasted with more favorable Mediterranean service experiences. Again, this is general Magellano-range sentiment, not 25M-specific.
Trawler Forum / YachtForums.com (general Magellano range, not 25M-specific)Sea trial: hull is 'light on the helm and turns precisely,' handled confidently in calm conditions
Yachting Magazine's on-water test of Hull No. 1 off Portofino (October, 8 people aboard, over half-load) recorded a top speed of 23.6 knots at 2,300 rpm and 19-knot cruise at 2,000 rpm burning 101.4 gph, with an estimated ~350nm range at cruise (10% reserve) or up to ~1,500nm at 9.5-knot displacement-mode speed. The reviewer explicitly noted the trial was in calm seas with 'slight to zero' breeze - not a harsh-conditions test.
Yachting Magazine sea trial (press, not an owner)Design/deck-layout praised, but hardtop and interior color choices drew explicit criticism
MBY's review (Jack Haines) praised the cockpit furniture's 90-degree rotation for better sightlines and the lowering transom/tender garage, but also criticized the slatted hardtop for sacrificing usable open deck space for looks, and noted the extensive green marble interior styling 'is wonderful, as long as you like the colour green' - a polarizing, taste-dependent choice.
Motor Boat & Yachting (MBY) review (press, not an owner)Barche Magazine and Yachts Croatia sea trials both praised noise/vibration engineering
Both Italian-press write-ups highlighted the owner's suite being mounted on rubber bearings/a 'floating capsule' structure plus flexible engine couplings and acoustic floor/wall/ceiling treatments specifically to minimize noise and vibration - flagged by both outlets as a standout engineering detail rather than a generic marketing claim.

Cosa convince e cosa va valutato
Punti di forza
- Dual Mode hull performance independently corroborated across multiple press outletsYachting Magazine, MBY, and Barche Magazine independently, on separate sea trials, praised the Ausonio-designed hull's handling ('light on the helm, turns precisely') and its ability to run efficiently at both displacement and semi-planing speeds - not just repeating Azimut's marketing language.
- Genuine long-range capability, not just a marketing numberYachting Magazine's own sea-trial-derived calculation put displacement-mode range at up to ~1,500nm at 9.5 knots, independently supporting Azimut's long-range crossover positioning rather than simply repeating the brochure figure.
- Vibration/noise engineering singled out by multiple independent reviewersThe rubber-isolated owner's suite, flexible engine couplings, and acoustic floor/wall/ceiling treatment were flagged as a genuine differentiator by both Barche Magazine and Yachts Croatia, not just by Azimut's own materials.
- The Magellano range has an actual multi-year owner track record, even though the 25M itself is too new for itOwners of the older 43/50/74/76 Magellanos report on YachtForums that the hulls 'ride fairly well,' gelcoat holds up, and engineering 'leaves very little to be desired' - real-world validation of the dual-mode-hull DNA the 25M inherits, even if not proof for the 25M specifically.
Da valutare
- No genuine 25M-specific owner testimony exists yetDespite searching YachtForums, Trawler Forum, and YBW Forum, all available 25M material is press sea-trial coverage or brokerage copy. The model's newness and low production volume mean there is no independent owner voice to weigh against the marketing and press narrative.
- Published performance figures disagree meaningfully across sourcesCruise speed is variously cited as 18 knots (Azimut official, Yachts Croatia), 19 knots (Azimut official, Yachting Magazine), 20 knots (Boat International), and 21 knots (Barche Magazine). Top speed is cited as 23.0 knots (Boat International), 23.6 knots (Yachting Magazine sea trial), 24-25 knots (Azimut official), and ~25 knots (Barche Magazine, Yachts Croatia). None of these sources reconcile with each other.
- Basic specs disagree between sources: displacement, beam, and even cabin countDisplacement is given as 87.5 tonnes (Azimut official), 85,000kg (Barche Magazine), and 85.8 tons (Yachts Croatia). Beam is 6.30m (Azimut official) vs 6.35m (Boat International, Barche Magazine, Yachts Croatia). Most strikingly, cabin/guest capacity is cited as 4 cabins/8 guests + 2 crew (Azimut official, Boat International) versus 5 cabins/10 guests (Yachts Croatia) - a real discrepancy, not a rounding difference, that no source explains.
- No independent WOT fuel-burn table; the only figures available disagree with each otherYachting Magazine's sea trial recorded 101.4 gph at 19-knot cruise; Yachts Croatia's separately reported 350 l/h (~92 gph) at 18-knot cruise. Both are single at-sea readings from press outlets, not a class-society or independently audited fuel table, and they do not fully agree even after converting units.
- Production/rarity figures are inconsistent and effectively unverifiableSecondary trackers cite wildly different totals - 28 or 29 units built per one source, versus only 6 delivered as of an earlier date per another. Azimut does not publish an official hull-number or production count, so none of these figures can be confirmed.
- High acquisition cost with a wide, options-driven price spread; weaker US service reputation noted for the rangeNew base/standard price is cited around EUR 4.72M, but brokerage listings for lightly-used 2024-2026 hulls range from about EUR 4.2M to EUR 5.5-5.6M depending on options (one listing notes over EUR 1M in optionals on top of base price). Separately, general Magellano-range forum commentary (not 25M-specific) flags a weaker US after-sales service reputation compared to the Mediterranean, and limited fresh-water tankage (1,500L, cited by an owner as lasting only 3-4 days for four people) as a practical cruising constraint.
Informazioni pratiche
| Production status | In production since ~2020; current build slots for 2024-2026 delivery are actively listed by dealers. Total units built is disputed between secondary sources (28-29 cited by one tracker vs. 6 delivered as of an earlier date by another) - Azimut does not publish an official hull-number/production count, so no figure here should be treated as confirmed. |
|---|---|
| New price | Approximately EUR 4,720,000 for the standard/base version per brokerage-sourced pricing; commonly quoted as rising well past EUR 5M once options are added (one 2024 example was marketed with over EUR 1M in optionals). |
| Used market pricing | Brokerage asking prices seen: ~EUR 5,500,000 (2024 build, Varazze, Italy, via Allied Yachting); ~EUR 5,600,000 (2024 build, 2 weeks' owner use, Mediterranean, per YachtWorld-sourced summary); 'from EUR 4,200,000' for a 3-year-old example. These figures come from different listings and are not reconciled against each other. |
| Charter availability | No dedicated charter-fleet listings for the 25M were found in this research. The market presence found is exclusively new-build sales and brokerage resale; charter availability is not established either way and should not be assumed. |
| Competing models (long-range crossover class) | Sirena 78 (Open and Enclosed variants), Fleming 78, Nordhavn N80 and N86, and Ocean Alexander 27E/28E Explorer are cited by yacht-comparison sources as the direct rivals in this size/mission class. |
| What is NOT published | No independent WOT fuel-burn table from a class society or independent tester (only single at-sea press readings, which disagree with each other); no reconciled official cabin/guest count (4 vs. 5 cabins cited by different sources); no official production/hull-number count; no published bow-thruster kW rating (only a stern thruster mentioned as optional in one brokerage listing). |
A chi si rivolge: L'armatore con ambizioni autentiche a lungo raggio, che vuole un crossover capace di andare ovunque con la tenuta di mare per le acque aperte.
