Marybelle Motor Yacht

A yacht delivered in 2025 carries no history beyond her sea trials, and that is the story with Marybelle. Azimut completed her this year as a Grande 26M, and everything aboard is drawn from a single, unrepeated specification rather than years of running changes. At 122 gross tons on a 26-metre platform, she offers a light, open-plan interior across her decks.

Build and provenance

Marybelle's hull is glass-reinforced plastic, with exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interiors finished by Salvagni Architetti, the studio behind her floor-to-ceiling glazing on the main deck. She measures 26 metres, 85 feet on paper, with a 6.3-metre beam and a 2.1-metre draught. For a buyer, a newly built yacht like this carries no accumulated modification history to check, just the builder's original specification to inspect.

Layout and accommodation

Ten guests sleep across five staterooms, with the Owner's suite forward on the main deck, full beam and lit by windows the width of the hull. Four further cabins sit on the lower deck, each with its own bathroom. Three crew look after the boat and its guests, a modest complement suited to a flybridge of this size.

Performance and engineering

Marybelle's twin MAN engines, rated at 1,550 hp apiece, drive her to a 23-knot cruise and 26 knots flat out through ZF pod drives steered by joystick rather than a conventional wheel, an arrangement that makes tight-berth manoeuvring straightforward for an owner-driver. Her range runs to 379 nautical miles, and stabilisers work both at anchor and under way.

On deck and at anchor

The sun deck and foredeck seating give her two distinct outdoor rooms, a BBQ and sunpads keep the aft spaces usable through a full day, and the swimming platform opens the stern to the water.

Where she lies and how to see her

Marybelle lies in Cannes, France. Boatcrowd arranges the viewing and is present for it; once a buyer's offer is accepted, we set up the survey and sea trial that follow before handover.
