Aziza

Aziza was launched by ISA at Ancona in 2013, one of the yard's 41-metre models, with exterior lines by Andrea Vallicelli and an interior finished by ISA's own design team. The most important number about her is not her length but her guest count: only eight people sleep aboard, on a yacht that is 41 metres long and can take twelve for a day out.

That ratio shapes the whole experience. Four cabins share three decks of living space, so nobody queues for the Jacuzzi on the sun deck or the stools at its bar, and there is always a quiet corner for a call or a book. The owner's suite runs the full width of the hull, and two doubles plus a single twin cabin complete the plan. A gym with Technogym equipment lets regular exercisers keep their routine, and at the stern a beach club opens onto the water for swimming and lounging at sea level. A grill on the sun deck means lunch can be cooked and served up top.

She is a full-displacement yacht with a steel hull and Naiad stabilisers that work both underway and at anchor, which keeps her calm when the afternoon wind builds in the Balearics. Her diving set-up includes a compressor, so qualified divers can refill tanks on board. She holds a Spanish charter licence and is based at Port Adriano on Mallorca, with delivery to the other Balearic islands available for an extra fee, which makes her a practical choice for a week that stays within Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera.

The right party is small: two or three couples, or a family of up to eight, who would rather have generous space than squeeze in extra friends. She is not the yacht for a larger group, since eight is the limit for sleeping, nor for anyone hoping to reach Sardinia or the French coast within a single week.
