The Azimut Magellano 30M is not simply the largest current Magellano. It changes where the owner lives, how crew work and how the yacht is used. The owner’s suite moves to the main deck forward, four guest cabins occupy the lower deck, and three crew cabins support five crew. That is the layout of a professionally operated superyacht, not an enlarged recreational cruiser.
At 97′ 5″ overall and 299,826 pounds full load, the 30M uses the same Dual Mode idea as smaller Magellanos but at a very different scale. Twin MAN V12 packages from 1,550 to 1,900 hp give published top speeds up to roughly 20 or 24 knots and fast cruise around 16–18 knots. Independent review data describes around 500 nautical miles at fast cruise and roughly 1,200 nautical miles at displacement speed, illustrating why speed choice matters so much on this hull.
The deck plan is equally distinctive. The main-deck owner suite gains privacy and horizon-level views. An upper salon creates a second indoor living area. The foredeck can carry a hot tub, while the upper aft deck becomes the primary outdoor dining and entertaining space. A tender garage is sized for a tender plus personal watercraft.
The compromise is circulation and complexity. The upper deck is not a continuous walk-through from bow to stern; moving between the foredeck and aft upper deck requires going through the interior or returning to the main deck. That decision helps preserve the yacht’s profile and interior architecture, but it is a real functional trade. The 30M also brings class, crew, insurance, berth and service expectations that are fundamentally different from a 60- or 66-foot Magellano.
Published factory figures. Confirm every dimension against the individual yacht and its survey.
The 30M uses a GRP semi-planing Dual Mode hull designed by P.L. Ausonio Naval Architecture and Azimut R&D. The vertical bow and dual-mode geometry are intended to combine efficient displacement and semi-planing operation with the ability to make fast passages in the high teens or low 20s.
The 23′ 2″ beam provides the platform for a main-deck owner suite, broad salons and substantial crew/service spaces without resorting to a much taller profile. Full-load draft is 6′ 9″, a manageable figure for a 30-meter yacht but still one that must be checked against home-port depth and cruising grounds.
At nearly 300,000 pounds full load, survey scope should include hull and structural condition, running gear, stabilizers, shaft alignment, tanks, machinery mounts, hydraulic systems, tender garage mechanisms and any class-related inspection history.
Azimut lists twin MAN V12 1550 hp or twin MAN V12 1900 hp packages. The stronger package supports the published 24-knot top-speed target and 18-knot fast cruise, while the lower package is aligned with a slower performance envelope.
At this size, the engine room is part of the crew workplace and maintenance economy. Access, filtration, fuel transfer, fire systems, ventilation, generators and auxiliary machinery can matter more over time than the difference between the two horsepower ratings.
A purchase survey should be paired with manufacturer-level engine diagnostics, oil analysis and review of major-hour service history. On a 30M, deferred machinery work can become a six-figure issue quickly.
The Magellano 30M carries 14,500 liters, roughly 3,831 US gallons, of fuel. Azimut does not currently publish a detailed liters-per-nautical-mile table on the model page, so Float Finance should avoid manufacturing a cruise GPH number.
Independent YachtBuyer review material describes roughly 500 nautical miles at an 18-knot fast cruise and around 1,200 nautical miles at displacement speed. Treat those as independent test/estimate context, not as an Azimut warranty. The difference illustrates the model’s entire design logic: slow down and the same fuel load buys dramatically more distance.
For ownership budgeting, fuel can vary by hundreds of gallons across a single passage depending on speed. Generator, stabilizer and hotel load should also be included in trip-cost calculations.
With the larger 1,900-hp MAN V12s, independent review material describes fast cruising around 17–18 knots and a maximum near 24–25 knots. That is strong performance for a 136-metric-ton crossover yacht.
The 30M is best understood as a variable-speed passagemaker with the option to run fast, not a performance yacht that happens to have range. The hull’s value appears when the captain can choose 10, 15 or 18 knots based on weather, schedule and fuel rather than fighting a narrow efficient band.
The main aft deck is more lounge than dining room, preserving sightlines through low furniture and a glassy connection to the water. Outdoor dining moves up to the large upper aft deck, which can seat a substantial group under the hardtop and includes bar/grill service.
Forward, the deck can be specified with a hot tub and sunning area. Wing stations on both sides assist the crew during close-quarters maneuvering, important on a yacht nearly 100 feet long.
One of the most important design compromises is that the foredeck and aft upper deck are not connected by a continuous exterior walkway. The arrangement contributes to the 30M’s sleek profile and interior volume, but crew and guests must change levels to move between those zones.
The 30M’s systems package belongs in a professional maintenance program. Multiple generators, HVAC zones, stabilization, digital switching, navigation networks, pumps, hydraulics, tender garage machinery and hotel systems all need documented service.
Independent review material notes a raised pilothouse with multiple Simrad multifunction displays and optional joystick integration with engines and thrusters. Verify the exact electronics generation and software/licensing status on a used yacht.
A 97′ 5″ LOA and 23′ 2″ beam place the 30M in a marina category where berth availability may be regional and seasonal. Confirm 100-foot-class berth inventory, shore power, fueling, draft, security and crew access before closing.
Yard selection must also account for nearly 300,000 pounds of full-load displacement and 23 feet of beam.
The gallery should show the 30M as a complete superyacht: main-deck owner suite, four lower guest cabins, upper salon, upper-deck dining, foredeck spa/lounge, tender garage, pilothouse and crew/service spaces. These views are what separate the 30M from the smaller Magellano models.
Current independent market data places Magellano 30M asking prices in roughly the high-single-digit to mid-teens millions of U.S. dollars, with wide variation by year and specification.
Value can be heavily influenced by engine package, interior specification, tender, electronics, class, tax status, warranty, crew-maintenance history and whether major service is approaching.

Use the yacht-loan calculator to test purchase price, cash down, rate and term before negotiating. For higher-value yachts, compare multiple down-payment and term scenarios rather than anchoring the decision to one optimistic monthly number.
Illustration only and not an offer of credit. Your actual rate and term depend on credit profile, vessel age, loan amount and ownership structure.
The 30M is the largest current Magellano and should be compared against the 27M on more than length. The 30M adds a main-deck owner suite, five crew berths, larger tankage and a more complex two-salon/upper-deck living plan.
New and nearly new 30M yachts can involve complex build specifications, ownership entities and international delivery. Brokerage yachts require a deep review of crew logs, class/survey history, engine hours, refit work and tax/documentation status.
At this value level, a strong survey team should include hull, machinery and relevant specialist inspections rather than one generalist trying to cover every system.
A 30M financing file should be built alongside survey, insurance, ownership entity and documentation planning. Send Float Finance the specific listing or build proposal early enough to understand lender appetite before a seven-figure deposit or contract milestone.
Independent market data currently shows asking prices roughly from the high single-digit millions into the mid-teens millions of U.S. dollars depending on year and specification. Use the approved Float Finance registry band on the live page.
Azimut lists five guest cabins with ten guest berths, plus three crew cabins with five crew berths.
Azimut offers twin MAN V12 1550 hp or V12 1900 hp packages on shaft lines.
Independent review material cites roughly 500 nautical miles at fast cruise and around 1,200 nautical miles at displacement speed. Actual range depends on engine package, load, sea state and reserves.
Azimut publishes a 23′ 2″ beam and 6′ 9″ draft including props at full load.
Potentially, subject to lender and borrower eligibility. Survey, insurance, documentation, ownership entity, liquidity and intended use can all be material at this value level.
Azimut provides three crew cabins with five crew berths. Most owners should plan for professional operation and management.
It is technically possible for an appropriately qualified owner to be involved in operation, but the yacht’s 97-foot length, five-crew accommodation and system complexity make professional crew the practical norm.
