ALE is a 24.6 metre Azimut S8, delivered in 2024 and among the newest yachts of her size on the charter market. The S line is Azimut’s sport flagship idea, a fast, low slung hull drawn by the designer Alberto Mancini, built for owners who want genuine speed without giving up the space and comfort of a full flybridge yacht. She is quick, current and easy to be aboard, a strong choice for a family or a group of friends who want to see a lot of coast in a week.
Her defining idea is the way she opens up. The main deck superstructure is built to dissolve the line between the salon and the aft deck, so guests move naturally between air conditioned calm and the open air without ever feeling they have left one space for another. Starlink keeps everyone connected wherever the day goes, a full audio suite runs across the yacht, and stabilisers at anchor and under way keep her steady whether she is cutting across open water or lying in a quiet bay. A professional crew of three handles everything, so guests are free to simply enjoy the yacht.
Nine guests sleep in four cabins. A full beam master amidships takes the light and the volume, a queen VIP and a twin carry the same contemporary palette, and a further twin with a Pullman berth gives the flexibility for a ninth guest or a family with children. Each cabin has its own bathroom. It is a genuinely usable layout for a group of this size, private where it needs to be and easy for families travelling together.
Inside, ALE is light and modern. The main salon reads as one bright room open to the sea, pale contemporary seating around a low table with full glass aft, and a dining table forward for the whole group under soft light. A quieter lounge corner gives a second inside space away from the main room. The interior is arranged around light, clean lines and easy movement rather than heavy joinery, in keeping with the sharp, current styling of the S line.
Outside is built for the sun. The flybridge is open to the sky and laid out generously for long lunches, sundowners and afternoons that run into evening, with soft seating, a wet bar and a dining table high above the sea. The aft deck carries a wide sofa a step up from the swim platform and flows straight into the salon, and an extensive spread of water toys means there is always something to do the moment the anchor drops, from a Williams jet tender and a jet ski to a Seabob and paddle boards.
Her home water is the Bay of Naples and the Amalfi coast, and she is strategically based in Naples for exactly that cruising. Capri, Ischia, Positano and the Amalfi villages sit within easy reach of one another, the coast is at its best from the water, and her turn of speed makes the runs between the highlights straightforward. With her open main deck, her flybridge and her genuine speed, ALE suits a family or a group of friends who want an active, sociable week on the most celebrated coastline in Italy, on one of the newest yachts of her size afloat.
