Azimut Yacht Charter
Azimut started in 1969 as a yacht chartering business run by Paolo Vitelli while he was still a university student in Turin. He moved into building soon after, and that origin still shows: few yards think as hard about how a boat is actually used by guests rather than by its owner. The company bought Benetti in 1985, creating a group that remains one of the largest privately held yacht builders in the world.

About the shipyard
The design language arrived at the end of the 1980s with Stefano Righini, whose work became so widely imitated that it effectively set the house style for Italian production yachts for two decades. He drew most of the composite range, and also Benetti's fibreglass hulls.
The engineering signature is weight. Azimut moved to structural carbon fibre well before its competitors, it buys interior volume and deck space without the roll that usually comes with them, and the Grande 35 pairs that with a wave-piercing bow and a hull that crosses from displacement to planing. The Magellano line, launched in 2010, is the deliberate outlier: a long-range hull for owners who want passage-making rather than a fast hop between anchorages.

Chartering an Azimut: common questions
- How many Azimut yachts can I charter?
- We currently list 134 of them available for charter, across 12 countries. Availability moves week to week, so ask us for live dates on any yacht that interests you.
- What size are the Azimut yachts on Boatcrowd?
- They run from 13m to 38m. Larger yachts carry more crew and more space per guest rather than simply more guests, so tell us your group size and we will point you at the right end of the range.
- What does a week of Azimut charter cost?
- As an indicative guide, the median weekly rate across the Azimut fleet we list is $49,000, a base rate before APA and tax. Size, season and where you board move it most, so a broker prices the whole week for your dates.
- Where is the Azimut fleet based?
- The Azimut yachts we list are based mainly in these countries, most common first: Croatia (38 yachts), Italy (19 yachts), Greece (16 yachts), Bahamas (13 yachts). Many cruise well beyond their home port, so tell us the waters you have in mind and a broker will check what is close.
- What is the difference between the Azimut Flybridge, S and Grande ranges?
- Flybridge is the classic three-deck layout with an upper helm and lounging area. The S Collection is sportier, lower and faster, with a coupe profile. Grande is the largest range, where the structural carbon fibre and the biggest interior volumes are. Magellano sits apart from all three as the long-range displacement option.
