GENESIS is a 2023 Azimut 60, a flybridge motor yacht that brings the polish of the Italian yard into a size a couple or a small group can enjoy without a large crew. At a little over eighteen metres she carries six guests across three cabins and is run by a crew of two, which keeps her relaxed and informal while still delivering the finish and the sea keeping that Azimut is known for. She reads as fresh and current from the deck to the cabins, a modern flybridge yacht built for easy Mediterranean cruising.
She is quick, and that shapes the way a week aboard feels. With a top speed around thirty one knots she can cover ground when the plan calls for it, reaching a further bay for lunch or beating the weather back to a sheltered harbour, then settle to an easy cruise when there is nowhere in particular to be. For a group that likes to see a stretch of coast rather than sit in one spot, that pace turns a week into a proper exploration of the islands and towns within reach.
Her outdoor spaces are well judged for her size. The flybridge up top carries seating, sunbathing and a helm with a commanding view, the natural place to take the run between anchorages and to gather for drinks as the light fades. Forward, a set of sun pads on the foredeck gives a quieter place to lie out away from the main flow of the day, and aft the main deck opens to a shaded cockpit with a dining table close to the water. The walkaround side decks make moving fore and aft simple and safe.
Inside, the salon is bright and contemporary, finished in warm timber with pale upholstery and large windows that keep the sea in view from every seat. The space runs from a comfortable lounge to an interior dining area on one level, an easy, sociable layout for a group who want to eat, talk and relax together. The glass doors fold back to join the salon to the aft cockpit, so the yacht works just as well on a cool evening indoors as on a warm day with the deck and salon run together.
Accommodation is arranged across three cabins for six guests, built around a full beam master with its own bathroom and good natural light. A double guest cabin and a twin complete the layout, each finished in the same warm, neutral style, which makes her a practical choice for a family as readily as for a group of adults. The cabins are calm and well proportioned, with their own bathrooms and plenty of stowage, so no one is left with the short straw.
A yacht like this is at her best moving in short hops between harbours and anchorages, dropping the hook for a swim at lunch and tying up somewhere lively for the evening. Her speed opens up a wider stretch of coast than a slower yacht of her size could reach in a week, and the crew of two keep the days flowing without ever crowding the guests. The open stern puts the tender and the water toys a step away whenever the mood takes you.
She is well suited to Croatia and the wider East Mediterranean, cruising the pine covered islands and clear water of the Adriatic coast at a pace that suits the day. For a couple or a small group who want Italian build quality and an easy turn of speed without the scale or cost of a larger hull, GENESIS is a crisp, comfortable and genuinely welcoming choice.
