Azimut has unveiled designs of the Magellano 27M, which ushers in the third generation of the Italian shipyard’s series of long-distance cruising ‘voyagers’ and is scheduled to debut in 2026.

In terms of size, the upcoming model slips in-between the Magellano 25M and 30M, which were released in 2020 and 2022 respectively, both featuring exterior styling by Ken Freivokh and interior design by Vincenzo De Cotiis.

However, the Magellano 27M represents a new direction for Azimut, with Jarkko Jämsén designing the exteriors in his first collaboration with the Italian shipyard and AMDL Circle making its yachting debut on the interiors.

Jämsén, who holds degrees in wooden boat building, naval architecture and industrial design, is the founding partner of the Aivan and Navia Design studios in Finland, and Jamsen SARL in Monaco. As well as designing for the likes of Paragon, XO, Axopar and Brabus Marine, the Monaco-based Finn has designed superyachts for Feadship, motorboats for Nautor Swan and dayboats for new Turkish brand Aiata.

For Azimut’s upcoming Magellano 27M, Jämsén has created a smooth exterior bookended by a vertical bow and transom. Overall, the clean design focuses on “stripping away the unnecessary and revealing the bare shape” and transforming the exterior into “a mirror where sea, sky and light endlessly compose her surfaces”, according to Azimut.

AMDL Circle, founded and led by Michele De Lucchi, embarked on its first yachting project, having worked regularly with Azimut on the shipyard’s boat-show pavilions, pop-up floating installations and new offices.

The Milan studio’s eye-catching interior design for the Magellano 27M is most notable for its “unprecedented architectural loggia overlooking the sea”.

Like a covered outdoor space exposed to the elements on the sides, the loggia is on the main deck, surrounded by lots of glazing, and includes “wooden architectural elements that evoke Mediterranean pergolas and patios”, the shipyard stated. Light wood lines the walls, ceilings and furnishings, offset by metal and wooden details.

Azimut stated: “The result is an environment suspended between inside and out, a place where the landscape becomes part of daily life, and where design does not divide but filters, accompanies and protects in continuity with nature.

“In the seafaring journey of the new Magellano, the beauty of the surrounding nature finds its wholeness as it resonates with architecture in the mirrors of the sea on the full-height windows, or in the light that flows through the loggia. It’s a vessel for true connoisseurs, aesthetes whose core is to explore for more.”
