Azimut 105 Grande: The Ultimate Charter Guide

Setting the Standard for Luxury: The Azimut 105 Grande

In the world of luxury yachting, few names command as much respect as Azimut. For decades, the Italian shipyard has been at the pinnacle of design, innovation, and performance. Among their most celebrated builds is the 105 Azimut II, a vessel that perfectly encapsulates the 'Grande' philosophy—offering expansive space, high-end finishing, and an unmistakable presence on the water. At YATR, we specialize in connecting discerning travelers with world-class vessels, and the 105 Azimut II remains a top-tier choice for those seeking an unforgettable holiday.

Whether you are planning a corporate event or a private family getaway, understanding the nuances of this vessel is key to maximizing your experience. This complete guide explores the design, performance, and lifestyle offerings of the 105 Azimut II, and explains why it remains a favorite in our luxury yacht collection.

Exterior Design: Italian Elegance Meets Aerodynamics

The first thing one notices about the 105 Azimut II is its striking profile. Designed by the legendary Stefano Righini, the exterior lines are fluid and aerodynamic, belying the massive internal volume of the yacht. The hull design ensures a smooth ride even in moderate chop, providing the stability that charter guests demand.

One of the standout features of this model is the expansive flybridge. On the 105, the flybridge isn't just a steering station; it is a full-service entertainment hub. Typically equipped with a Jacuzzi, a fully stocked bar, and ample sun loungers, it is the heart of the yacht during the day. For those who prefer the breeze, the forward sun pads offer a more private area for sunbathing while at anchor in a secluded cove.

Key Exterior Features:

• Teak Decking: High-grade teak throughout for a classic, luxurious feel.
• Alfresco Dining: A large aft deck table perfect for breakfasts with a view.
• Hydraulic Swim Platform: Making access to the water and tenders seamless for guests of all ages.

The Interior: A Masterclass in Opulence

Stepping inside the salon of the 105 Azimut II, guests are greeted by an atmosphere of sophisticated warmth. The use of cherry or walnut woods, combined with fine Italian leathers and brushed steel accents, creates a timeless aesthetic. The floor-to-ceiling windows found in more recent refits allow natural light to flood the main deck, offering panoramic views of the Mediterranean or Caribbean seascapes.

The layout is designed for socializing. The main salon flows effortlessly into a formal dining area, suitable for gourmet meals prepared by your private chef. For those looking for a similar level of interior sophistication in a slightly different layout, we often recommend comparing this model to the Azimut 100 Leonardo, which offers a more open-plan 'loft' feel.

Accommodation and Privacy

The 105 Azimut II typically accommodates up to 10 guests in 5 beautifully appointed cabins. The configuration usually includes:

• Master Suite: Often located on the main deck, featuring a king-size bed, walk-in closets, and an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity and rainfall shower.
• VIP Staterooms: Two spacious cabins below deck with queen beds and elegant finishes.
• Twin Cabins: Two additional cabins, often featuring Pullman berths, making this yacht ideal for families with children.

Crew quarters are strategically located to ensure maximum privacy for guests, allowing the professional staff to provide five-star service without intruding on your personal space.

Performance and Marine Engineering

While the 105 Azimut II is built for comfort, it does not compromise on power. Powered by twin MTU engines, this yacht can reach top speeds of approximately 25-28 knots, with a comfortable cruising speed of 20 knots. This makes it an excellent choice for 'island hopping' itineraries where you want to minimize travel time and maximize your time at the destination.

Advanced stabilization systems, including 'zero-speed' stabilizers, are a common update on many 105s in our fleet. These systems drastically reduce the rolling motion of the yacht while at anchor, ensuring a restful night's sleep for even the most sensitive travelers. If performance and speed are your primary drivers, you might also consider the sleek and powerful Pershing 9X for your next charter.
