FIRST HORIZON

Alberto Mancini drew the exterior. Salvagni Architetti handled the interior. FIRST HORIZON is the result, an Azimut Grande 26M delivered new in 2025 and based at Marina Lav in Podstrana, ten minutes south of Split.

She runs 26.06 metres on deck with a 6.30-metre beam and a 2.04-metre draft, twin MAN V12 diesels at 1,550 horsepower each pushing her to 23 knots cruise and 26 at the top end. The Grande series puts the owner's suite on the main deck, full-beam, with the lower deck holding two midship VIP queens and two further guest cabins, one a double, one a twin. Ten guests in five en-suite cabins, served by a crew of four.

The main-deck master is the centrepiece of the layout: king bed, full-beam glazing, direct access to a private foredeck terrace forward of the wheelhouse. Below, the two VIPs sit amidships where motion is gentlest, and the guest pair on the lower deck handles couples or families flexibly.

A jet ski and snorkel gear cover the water, with a jet tender for shore drops and tows. Rendezvous diving is available through local operators when guests want to scuba between coves. The boat is set up for fast passages and short hops, which suits the Croatian and Montenegrin coastline.

Marina Lav sits ten minutes from Split city centre and thirty from the airport, making turnaround straightforward and the run down the Dalmatian Coast or south to the Bay of Kotor a matter of fuelling up and casting off.
