Azimut Magellano 25M Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Magellano 25M has won 2 awards, most recently for "Comeback"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Magellano 25M delivers speeds of up to 25 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: powerful modern superyacht trawler, four excellent cabins, upper deck lounge, 25knot top speed and foredeck lounge.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Azimut Magellano 25M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Arcadia A85 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 8 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Magellano 25M benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a sofa is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Outer Reef Yachts 820 CPMY and Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY are tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Azimut Magellano 25M leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 22 knots thanks to its twin 1,400hp MAN V12-1400 engines and maximum speed of 25 knots at 2,300rpm. Closely followed by, the Apreamare 82 with a respectable cruising speed of knots. The Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed also impresses with a cruising speed of 16 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Outer Reef Yachts 860 CPMY impresses with its extensive range of 3,537 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Grand Banks 85 Skylounge allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sirena Yachts 78 Enclosed focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 16 knots. Meanwhile, the Apreamare 82 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 29 knots.
