Azimut 53

Onboard the Azimut 53

Azimut 53 is a 17-metre motor yacht built to carry 11 guests across three cabins, which puts it in that useful middle ground between a day boat and a full-size crewed superyacht. The saloon and cockpit stay open to each other, so guests move between shade and sun without the boat ever feeling crowded, even with three couples or a family of eight plus crew aboard for the full day.

From Port Olímpic, the yacht suits the run south to Sitges well: roughly 35 kilometres of coast, a five to seven hour day, with time to anchor off the town or continue into Vilanova for lunch ashore at one of the seafront restaurants before heading back. Leaving the harbour means crossing Barcelona's commercial and ferry traffic, which is why the skipper takes the entry and exit rather than handing guests the wheel at that stage.

Three cabins make Azimut 53 a practical choice for a family wanting their own space overnight, or for a small group of friends who would rather not split across two smaller boats. Day-rate and any provisioning budget for extended trips are worked out before the charter is confirmed, and the broker will check the fit against your group size and dates, including on shorter booking windows when the calendar allows it.
