Azimut 52 in Porto Santo Stefano

Azimut 52 in Porto Santo Stefano, heading for the Argentario

From Porto Santo Stefano, this Azimut 52 opens the way to a comfortable day of cruising around the Argentario promontory or towards the neighbouring islands. I recommend it if you want to gather a group on board, enjoy the large outdoor spaces and reach Giglio by sea, without turning the outing into a mere transfer.

A spacious yacht for cruising together

This 15.62-metre motor yacht, built in 2003, can accommodate up to 12 passengers. It has three cabins and six berths: the description mentions a spacious owner's cabin and two double cabins, as well as a crew cabin. The two Caterpillar engines deliver 1,320 hp in total; the stated cruising speed is 32 knots. The listed rate starts at €1,300 per day, and renters rate it 4.93/5 based on 26 reviews.

On board, the equipment favours long stops at anchor: sun awning, sun loungers at the bow and stern, outdoor table, teak deck and bathing ladder. You will also find a tender with its outboard motor, masks and snorkels, Wi-Fi, air conditioning, hot water, a refrigerator, a stove, a 220 V outlet, outdoor speakers, electric toilets, bedding and towels. The description also mentions a flybridge, a generator and a watermaker. The boat is moored at the Domiziano tourist marina, a few minutes' walk from the historic centre.

A day between the Argentario and the Tuscan islands

The partner states that the island of Giglio is reachable in about 40 minutes of sailing; the fuel for a round trip from the port is estimated at around €400. This expense should be factored into your budget and checked at the time of booking. Depending on the chosen route and the day's conditions, you can also consider the coves of the Argentario or Giannutri. Talamone and the Maremma park coastline lie further north: feasibility will depend on the time available and the itinerary. The listing does not specify whether a skipper is included or the licence requirements; clarify these points before confirming, especially if you wish to sail yourself.

With its spaces for relaxing and its six berths, this model will suit a group or an extended getaway. In summer, it is best to book early and discuss the route, fuel and sailing arrangements in advance. If you dream of a day at sea departing from Porto Santo Stefano, this Azimut is worth considering.
