Chartering a Luxury Azimut Yacht!
Azimut’s are some of the most eye catching and visually stunning yachts available to buy or charter. It would be incorrect however to think that an Azimut is just an aesthetically pleasing yacht, as the levels of technology, build quality, comfort and safety features would match any other leading yachting marque. The true brilliance of the Azimut motor yacht is its ability to never look old. The philosophy behind the brand is to produce the highest quality product possible, with the help of skilled tradesmen, technology and the very best core components.
One of the largest Azimut’s available for charter is the stunning SULTANS WAY 007, available for charter in the Maldives. This motor yacht accommodates up to 8 guests in 4 sumptuous cabins, which have been designed to provide the ultimate comfort and luxury on board. She does not have a minimum charter length, which is quite unusual for a yacht of this size, providing great flexibility for potential clients. She is the perfect yacht for exploring the natural beauty of the Maldives and includes all of the latest Jet Skis and water toys to keep the whole family entertained for days!
If you are looking for something a little smaller but still has lots of deck space and luxurious accommodation, crewed motor yacht WILJIM is definitely a great choice for you! This Azimut motor yacht accommodates up to 6 guests in 3 cabins, available for charters from the St Tropez area. She would be the ideal choice for slow cruises along the Riviera and maximising your suntan, as she has a spacious Flybridge, as well as multiple sunpads! Why not start your charter in St Tropez and head down to the world famous beach clubs of Pampelonne Beach? Book your charters early to avoid disappointment!
Our final suggestion for an Azimut charter would be the gorgeous BIG BABA, available for charter from Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Accommodating up to 4 guests in 2 cabins, BIG BABA is the ideal choice for shorter charters, especially multiple days around the beautiful Maddalena National Park. She is a wonderful choice for those who want a visually stunning yacht, which provides elegance, practicality and comfort!
