The Azimut Yachts Magellano 76 2013 vs Azimut Yachts S77 2017 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Azimut Yachts Magellano 76 2013 at 80,1 ft versus Azimut Yachts S77 2017 at 77,4 ft.
