Azimut 53

The Azimut 53 measures 17 metres and carries up to 11 guests across three cabins, which gives it enough room for a proper day out or a short overnight stop without feeling like a scaled-down version of something bigger. It sits in that useful middle ground between the smaller day boats and the larger crewed yachts on offer, so groups get real deck space without paying for capacity they will not use.

For an afternoon on the water, the Azimut 53 works well leaving Puerto Banús and running west past Estepona toward the quieter stretch of coast near Punta de la Chullera, where the beaches see fewer people and the water is calmer for swimming. Guests staying in Benahavís or at villas near Puente Romano can be at the boat within twenty minutes by car, which keeps a later-starting afternoon charter straightforward.

With three cabins on board, the Azimut 53 also suits a short multi-day run along the coast, with time for a provisioning stop if guests want to stretch the trip past a single afternoon. It is equally at home hosting a small corporate group for a quieter working lunch as it is carrying a couple out for an anniversary run that ends back in Puerto Banús at sunset. Fuel use and APA scale with distance, so a coastal day near Marbella runs noticeably lighter than a longer push toward Gibraltar, and it is worth confirming the route before booking.
