A contemporary, stylish Italian version of a classic trawler, the Azimut 66 Magellano is a four-cabin, four-head cruiser that is designed to bridge the gap between traditional blue-water boats (think Grand Banks or Fleming) and more avant-garde designs. It also has what Azimut calls a “dual-mode” hull, with two chines and a less rounded bottom than previous Azimuts, which means it can run efficiently through all speed ranges. If you want to go slow, the 66 Magellano has a range of 1,000 nm at 9 knots. If you’re in a bit of a hurry, the boat tops out at 23 knots.
The Azimut 66 Magellano has a vertical bow to cut waves, and carries substantial volume forward. It offers a lot of space, inside and out, even for a 66-foot boat. The main deck has a sliding door forward, separating the salon from the helm and galley area. The salon itself has walnut paneling and cream-colored furnishing, an L-shaped sofa, dining table, bar and entertainment center.
The accommodation deck below has full-beam master, two VIP staterooms and a smaller fourth cabin for children or crew. The bow carries a padded lounge area (perfect for the Med, Florida and the Bahamas) and there’s a shaded seating and dining area aft. The flybridge also has a large dining table, a sunpad and room for lounge chairs.
