Azimut Magellano 43 (2012 - 2022) 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 43 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Production Motor Yacht (up to 15m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the 43 delivers speeds of up to 24 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: trawler yacht sense and style, easy, liveaboard two+1 cabin design, twin shaftdrive engines, max speed 24knots and galley aft salon.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Azimut 43 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 5 guests with its 3 cabin layout option. Most of its rivals, including the Azimut 43 HT and Sasga Yachts Menorquin 42, share the same 5 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 43 benefits from a master cabin with an en-suite bathroom and hull side windows is a standout. The Prestige 420 and Palm Beach PB42, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 6 guests in 2 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for short trips and overnight getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 43 delivers a steady 17 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Targa Targa 46 with an impressive cruising speed of 25 knots or the Palm Beach PB42 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Azimut 43 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 Nordhavn N41, with the slowest cruising speed of 7 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 Nordhavn N41 impresses with its extensive range of 8,232 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Prestige 420, Palm Beach PB42 and Cranchi T43 Trawler all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The Nimbus 405 focuses on performance and efficiency, with a cruising speed of 26 knots. Meanwhile, the Targa Targa 46 offers the best raw performance, with a maximum speed of 40 knots.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Azimut Magellano 43 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.
