17m Azimut Magellano 53 Motor Yacht Charter Naples | 2017 | CI1603

A motor yacht charter Naples from Marina di Santa Lucia starts under Castel dell’Ovo, with Capri an hour off the bow and the Amalfi coast an easy morning beyond it. This 17-metre Azimut Magellano 53 takes six guests in three cabins, with a skipper and hostess included.

The Magellano hull is a semi-displacement design built for range rather than sprint speed, and with twin 500-horsepower diesels and a draught of 1.44 metres she reaches the shallow inlets of the Sorrentine peninsula. For a motor yacht charter Naples that treats Ischia, Procida and Capri as one week, the hull matters.

Seventeen metres, built in 2017

She measures 16.9 metres overall, 55 feet, with a beam of 4.7 metres and a draught of 1.44 metres. Teak is laid on the aft deck and flybridge, and the electronics run to radar, autopilot, bow thruster and inside and outside GPS plotters. Tankage holds 3,200 litres of fuel and 700 litres of fresh water.

A skipper and a hostess are both included in the rate, along with the transit log, deposit insurance, bed linen, the dinghy outboard and onboard WiFi. On a motor yacht charter Naples the galley matters, and hers carries a dishwasher, oven, microwave, freezer, ice maker, coffee machine, washing machine and a barbecue.

A week on a motor yacht charter Naples usually runs south to Capri for the Faraglioni and the Grotta Azzurra, on to Positano, Amalfi and the fjord at Furore, then back north through Procida and Ischia for the thermal bays at Sant’Angelo. Longer routes reach Ponza and the Pontine islands.

The cooking worth the detour on this coast is at the waterline. The beach tables at Marina di Praia, Conca dei Marini and Da Gioia on Procida are reached by tender rather than by road, and the crew times the run so dinner is a step from the bathing platform.

Saloon, galley and living space

The saloon runs almost the full beam, with a curved settee, a dining table, an L-shaped galley aft and air conditioning throughout. On a motor yacht charter Naples this is the cool room in the middle of the day, and the deep side windows keep it bright without the glare.

Aft, the cockpit sits level with the saloon behind a glass door, with a table under the flybridge overhang. A generator holds air conditioning overnight at anchor without the main engines running, and the yacht carries heating for shoulder-season weeks.

Three cabins

Three cabins sleep six: a full-beam master amidships, a VIP forward and a twin, sharing two heads with showers. Every cabin on this motor yacht charter Naples has air conditioning, timber joinery, a flat-screen television, hull windows or portlights and stowage built into the berth base.

On deck and in the water

The flybridge carries a second helm, seating and a sun pad under a bimini, with a further sun pad forward and a bathing platform aft. A motor yacht charter Naples here includes a dinghy with a free outboard, a free stand up paddleboard, snorkelling sets, an audio system with inside and outside speakers, and a freshwater deck shower.
