Calais - 30.5m (1996)

Azimut Yachts launched Calais in 1996 with an expansive aft deck that transforms into a proper beach club, complete with hydraulic swim platform and direct water access. The 30.5-meter motor yacht's stern arrangement creates an unusual sense of openness for her era, with fold-down bulwarks that extend the usable deck space right to the waterline. Teak decking flows uninterrupted from the main salon through sliding glass doors to this outdoor sanctuary, where guests gather around built-in seating or slip directly into the sea. Forward sun decks stack in classic Italian fashion, offering multiple vantage points as Calais moves between anchorages. Her profile reflects Azimut's mid-90s design language with curved superstructure lines and generous window placement that floods interior spaces with natural light. The flybridge commands impressive 360-degree views while maintaining the intimate scale that makes this vintage motor yacht particularly appealing for smaller groups seeking both performance and that distinctive beach club atmosphere.
