Lastochka Yate a motor

A single family has owned Lastochka since Azimut delivered her in 2018, and she has never worked a day as a charter boat. She is described as in mint condition, well specified for cruising rather than for turning over between paying guests. She lies in Istanbul, Turkey, ready to be seen.

Build and provenance

Azimut built Lastochka as a monohull motor yacht in the Grande 25M series, styled outside by Stefano Righini and finished inside by Achille Salvagni. At 106 gross tonnes across 27 metres, with a 6.2-metre beam and a 1.9-metre draft, she carries the volumes of a two-deck motor yacht along with fully separate crew passageways, keeping guest and crew routes apart throughout. Her garage takes a tender up to four metres, sized for a boat of her length.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, with a crew of two aboard to run her, a lean complement for a yacht of this size that suits an owner who wants privacy over a large service team. The two-deck layout keeps crew passageways separate from guest areas throughout, so the cabins and saloon stay a family space rather than a working one.

Performance and engineering

Twin MAN V12 engines, rated at 1800 hp apiece, give Lastochka a 22-knot cruise and a 26-knot top speed, a pace that puts distance behind her quickly rather than settling for a slow coastal pace. Stabilisers keep her steady under way, and her Electronic Power Steering lets a captain adjust wheel sensitivity to the conditions rather than run one fixed setting. A Raymarine monitoring system reads engine data, tank levels and alarms from either helm station or a tablet.

On deck and at anchor

A bimini shades the deck, and satellite TV keeps her connected at anchor. She also carries underwater lights, a watermaker for extended time away from a marina, and a stern thruster for handling her close in to a berth. A tender rounds out the equipment for reaching the shore.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lastochka lies in Istanbul, close to the city's airport, ready for a buyer to come aboard. Boatcrowd handles the showing in person from start to finish, and after a buyer's offer is accepted our team co-ordinates the sea trial and survey so the handover runs smoothly.
