SHIPYARD EXPERIENCE
Azimut Yacht Charter
Experience Azimut through charter before taking steps toward ownership. Discover selected yachts that showcase the brand’s signature blend of contemporary design, onboard comfort, and effortless cruising performance.
Shipyard Experience
Experience the Brand Before You Buy
A charter on an Azimut gives you something that static imagery and specifications can’t fully deliver: real context. It reveals how the yacht behaves at sea, how the spaces connect once in motion, and how the design translates into everyday onboard living. From interior flow to outdoor circulation, you start to understand the brand not as a concept, but as an experience shaped by time on the water.
For those exploring ownership, an Azimut charter serves as a practical reference point before making a commitment. It allows you to evaluate comfort, guest arrangement, privacy, deck usability, and onboard ambience across different cruising moments. This firsthand perspective often clarifies priorities far more effectively than a viewing alone, especially when supported by brokerage insight that bridges charter experience with long-term acquisition goals.
Selected Azimut Yachts
A curated Azimut selection for clients using charter as a stepping stone toward ownership, featuring yachts chosen for their onboard livability, design refinement, and proven performance in real cruising conditions.

What Our Clients Say
Mathieu understood exactly what we wanted before we even finished explaining. The day charter was flawless: the crew, the itinerary, the lunch at anchor. We\'re already planning our return.
We chartered for a corporate event during Cannes Lions. From the first call to the last glass of champagne at the dock every detail was handled with exceptional professionalism.
Mathieu was attentive, knowledgeable and incredibly responsive. The destination was stunning and the itinerary perfectly planned.
Before You Step On Board.
What refined guests usually ask before confirming a charter.
- Is the yacht fully private?
- Yes. Every BellaYacht charter is 100% privatization. The yacht is exclusively for your group, no shared cabins, no strangers on deck, no bareboat arrangements. A professional crew is included on every charter, ensuring you're cared for from departure to return.
- What is the starting price for a day charter?
- Pricing varies depending on yacht size, season, duration, and itinerary. Smaller yachts are typically more accessible, while larger superyachts with higher-end specifications command premium rates, especially during peak summer and major events. A tailored proposal is always provided based on your exact requirements and preferred experience.
- What is included in a crewed Mediterranean charter?
- A crewed week charter includes the yacht, professional captain, and full crew dedicated to onboard service and navigation. It also includes standard onboard amenities, water toys on selected yachts, and curated itinerary planning across the Mediterranean. Additional costs such as fuel, provisioning, port fees, and special requests may vary depending on usage and route.
- Who will handle my booking?
- You will be assigned a single dedicated yacht charter broker who manages your entire experience from initial inquiry to disembarkation. This ensures a consistent point of contact for yacht selection, itinerary planning, onboard requests, and any adjustments before or during your charter.
- Can itineraries be customized?
- Yes. Every itinerary is fully tailored. You can choose your preferred pace, destinations, and onboard experiences, whether that includes quiet anchorages, beach clubs, or multiple coastal stops along the Riviera. Routes are designed around your preferences, weather conditions, and cruising style.
- Do you organise charters for major Mediterranean events?
- Yes. We specialize in high-demand event charters for both the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. These periods require early planning due to limited availability, and we provide access to prime yachts, strategic moorings, and fully managed onboard experiences during these flagship events.
