Embark on a masterpiece of art and marine engineering: Azimut Yachts presents the Magellano 25 Metri, a yacht born from a collaboration with leading names on the international art and design scene. The interiors are signed by architect and designer Vincenzo De Cotiis, whose striking, sculptural style brings a new dimension of aesthetics to the open sea, while the timeless elegance of the exterior lines was shaped by Ken Freivokh, the creator of many legendary silhouettes

Created as a fusion of craftsmanship, innovation, and expressive form, the Magellano 25 Metri makes extensive use of carbon fiber and relies on the most advanced technical solutions, including the BCool active air-sanitizing system (based on a NASA patent) and the Hotel Mode function, which allows quiet, zero-emission stays at anchor. To ensure long-range cruising in complete comfort and safety, even in rough seas, the Magellano 25 Metri has been designed with a special, energy-efficient Dual Mode hull.

INTERIOR DÉCOR

The partnership with Vincenzo De Cotiis springs from the brand’s desire to reach a new milestone by creating for the first time ever a yacht that isn’t a container for art, but a sea’s work of art.

One of the points of contact with the designer, a leading proponent of collectible art on the international scene, is a shared interest in fiberglass, as an essential construction material for Azimut Yachts and one of the favourite material of the artist. On this yacht fiberglass is given new life as a key element of the design.

For Magellano 25 Metri, De Cotiis used a special type of resin and thanks to an elaborate artisanal process, the result of multiple layers and embellished with a bronze powder, he has given life to surfaces of parchment colour, characterized by a pleasant clouded effect and inclusions that in somehow recall those typical of some precious stones.

The “artistic fiberglass” is joined by other materials and types of wood to create a highly appealing play of contrasts: brushed Verde Alpi marble, dark walnut wood, carpet, polished brass, lacquered wood and ribbed wood.

The furnishings feature flowing shapes and a lot of effort has been put into creating a sense of continuity expressed by seamless, curving lines.

INTERIOR LAYOUT

The most strikingly original setting is the huge saloon in which De Cotiis strives to increase the perception of depth. Designed to offer a view of the sea from any point, the space is no longer confined by a classic rectangular floor plan and is flooded throughout with natural light. The dining table can be arranged lengthwise and the living area is based on the concept of organic geometry, with different shapes sofas that offer different depths. The interior furniture recalls the shape of the dry bar outside creating an indoor-outdoor connection in order to get the sensation of a unified space overlooking the sea. Still on the Main Deck, the stairway is clad with mirrors to “dematerialise” it and, by reflecting the light, the view of the sea became an inner part of the yacht.

Artificial light is a key element, with a lighting system designed to create a soft, warm mood. The carefully thought out light design created by the artist involves not only lamps and classic ceiling spotlights, but also and even the sofa bottoms to give the furniture the appearance of “being suspended”.

In the night area on the Lower Deck there are four cabins, including two VIPs, one double and one with sliding double beds.

In the owner’s suite, thanks to the inclined position of the walk-in closet, the space extends out, while the mirror coating makes the volume disappear and reflects the light and the starboard panorama, creating highly suggestive changing optical effects. All the fabrics on board are by Loro Piana Interiors.

The crew quarters are independent, with direct access from the galley to avoid interference with guests’ movements and ensure a high level of privacy. Magellano 25 Metri is also one of the few yacht in its category to have direct access from the internal wheelhouse, located in a raised position on the main deck, and the external one on the fly so to facilitate the work of the captain and crews.

EXTERIOR STYLING

Ken Freivokh offers his own personal take on exterior styling based on the concept of timelessness, driven by the desire to create an object of evergreen beauty and appeal, far from fleeting fashions and passing trends. The central element around which the entire design revolves is the fully-glazed superstructure, created to convey the feeling of a penthouse overlooking the sea. The standout features include the (non-slip surfaces on the transom) wrap-around steel detailing in the stern area and the retro-style windows in the hull.

The yacht’s silhouette is given even more personality by the louvers on either side aft of the deckhouse. The elegant spiral staircase leads up to the Fly Deck, where the hard top is supported by a minimalist central mast. The almost vertical bow underscores the remarkable seaworthiness of this model.

The bow area can be experienced differently depending on the various times of the day as a sunbeds and lounge area, while the stern, thanks to a pivoting hatch mechanism, offers the charm of an Infinity Terrace from which to contemplate the charm of the sunset without any visual impediment.

CARBON TECH GENERATION AND CUTTING-EDGE ON-BOARD TECHNOLOGY

Magellano 25 Metri belongs to Azimut’s Carbon Tech Generation, using targeted carbon fiber to increase interior volumes while preserving stability. Solutions from the Innovation Lab’s ECS (Enhanced Cruising Solutions) program and the HTS (High Technical Standard) certification confirm construction to the highest standards. The optional Hotel Mode allows longer, zero-emission stays at anchor, while the BCool system, based on NASA technology, purifies the air on board. Special attention has been paid to reducing noise and vibration: the owner’s suite is designed as a floating capsule, and an elastic joint between the engines and inverters prevents vibrations from the propeller shaft from reaching the interior.

The Dual Mode hull, created by Pierluigi Ausonio, ensures efficient and safe cruising in a variety of sea conditions, lowering fuel consumption and softening wave impact. Power comes from two MAN V12 engines (1,400 hp standard, 1,550 hp optional) with V-Drive transmission, while stabilization is provided by a Humphree electric fin system. Top speed is about 24–25 knots, with a cruising speed around 18-19 knots.
