Azimut Magellano 30M Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the Magellano 30M delivers speeds of up to 24 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: five cabin semi-custom yacht, main deck owner’s stateroom, broad flybridge, tender garage and 30-knot performance.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut Magellano 30M offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Arcadia A105 and Princess X95, share the same 10 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The Magellano 30M benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing table and a sofa is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Gulf Craft 95 SUV and Sanlorenzo SL96A, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut Magellano 30M delivers a steady 18 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Riva 102' Corsaro Super with an impressive cruising speed of 23 knots or the Sanlorenzo SL96A with a respectable cruising speed of 24 knots. The Azimut Magellano 30M 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 Arcadia A105, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 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 Arcadia A96 impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Ocean Alexander 28E and Gulf Craft Nomad 101 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Sanlorenzo SL96A focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 24 knots. Meanwhile, the Riva 102' Corsaro Super offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 28 knots. The Extra Yachts X96 Triplex has an impressive gross tonnage of 238GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Magellano 30M 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.
