Azimut 45

At 13.7 metres, Azimut 45 sits in a useful size bracket: big enough for eleven guests to spread across an open aft deck, small enough to run without the formality of a full crewed superyacht. The layout leaves space for a proper al fresco dining table aft, which turns a simple afternoon on the water into something closer to a meal with a view of the coast than a standard boat trip.

From Puerto Banús, the Azimut 45 covers ground quickly - cruising at around 32 knots puts Estepona's quieter beaches, roughly 25 kilometres west, within easy reach for an afternoon rather than a full day out. Guests after calmer water and fewer boats nearby, without losing half the charter to travel time, tend to head that way rather than staying inside the bay.

Two cabins below deck give small groups or families somewhere to change or rest between swims, though this is built as a day boat first, sized for eleven guests rather than overnight stays. It suits couples marking a birthday with lunch on deck, a small corporate group after informal hosting away from a restaurant table, or Marbella-based families wanting a shorter charter without giving up speed or comfort. Given its size, the Azimut 45 is often easier to place on short notice than the larger yachts in the fleet, though peak summer weeks still fill early.
