AZUL V: Italian built superyacht with World Superyacht Award pedigree

Anchored in crystalline waters with forested islands rising beyond, AZUL V embodies the sophisticated restraint of Italian yacht design. At 48.2 metres, the motor yacht was built by CRN Ancona, shaped by the design sensibilities of Paolo Scanu and finished by Zuretti, resulting in classic proportions that read as effortless elegance rather than ostentation. A comprehensive rebuild in 2015 refreshed her systems and interiors, work that earned her recognition at the World Superyacht Awards.

The yacht’s interiors marry warm burled wood with cream upholstery and carefully curated artwork, creating spaces that feel welcoming rather than imposing. Six cabins accommodate up to eleven guests, centred on a full beam master suite whose windows frame the seascape. The owner’s quarters occupy the hull’s breadth, generous and serene, dressed in pale linens and cream cabinetry with touches of gold toned detailing.

On deck, the sun platform offers proper entertaining scope: a heated jacuzzi, a full bar, and fitness equipment positioned to take advantage of Mediterranean or Southeast Asian light. Below, saloons and dining areas provide shelter and social gathering points without feeling separated from the water beyond.

AZUL V’s credentials extend to the screen: she featured in season 13 of Below Deck, filmed across Thai waters. That exposure speaks to her appeal for those seeking a working charter vessel with the polish and comfort of a private home.

Burgess has the yacht based in Phuket for the winter season, with viewings available from December through February at Phuket Yacht Haven. The Thailand International Boat Show in January offers a formal showcase opportunity. Contact Burgess directly to schedule a private viewing.
