Azimut Magellano 60 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 60 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Motor Yacht 18-21m"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Magellano 60 delivers speeds of up to 26 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Azimut Magellano 60 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 6 guests with its 3 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Sundeck Yachts 620 and Beneteau Yachts 62 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 8 guests in 4 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Magellano 60 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a dressing table. Equivalently, the Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo and Grand Banks GB60 also offer 3 cabins, but with facilities for 6 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut Magellano 60 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Azimut Fly 62 with an impressive cruising speed of knots. The Azimut Magellano 60 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo, with the slowest cruising speed of 18 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 Grand Banks GB60 Skylounge impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Azimut Fly 62 and Outer Reef Yachts 620 Trident Evo all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Apreamare 56 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 25 knots. Meanwhile, the Azimut Fly 62 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 32 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Magellano 60 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
