The Magellano 27M opens the third chapter of an evolutionary story. From her explorer soul emerges a novel way of embracing the sea, where the spirit of discovery flows into the elegance of life.

She is not merely a new superyacht, nor simply a new Voyager. She is a philosophy of voyage itself, where freedom blends with serenity at sea, as the long-range strength of the crossover encounters an intimate, soulful interior design style. For in the seafaring journey of the new Magellano, the beauty of the surrounding nature finds its wholeness as it resonates with architecture: in the mirrors of the sea on the full-height windows, or in the light that flows through the loggia.

A vessel for true connoisseurs, aesthetes whose core is to explore for more, embracing the rare over the ordinary and savoring life's finest treasures. Their inner and effortless distinctiveness finds its natural counterpart in the Magellano 27M, a yacht whose character reflects their own: unique, confident, and imbued with charisma.

This shared singularity also stems from the vision of her creators: Finnish designer Jarkko Jämsen, who shaped the exteriors, and AMDL CIRCLE & Michele De Lucchi, bringing their architectural ethos to the sea for the very first time.

The Bare Shape: When Nature Designs

Exterior designer Jarkko Jämsén built the concept around a radical idea: the Magellano 27M is a living in-situ artwork, conceived not to dominate nature but to exist through it, her beauty revealed only in dialogue with the elements. By stripping away the unnecessary and revealing the bare shape, the Magellano 27M transforms into a mirror where sea, sky, and light endlessly compose her surfaces.

Jämsén's architecture dances between engineering and fluidity, just as the industrial line - the loop - traces its dance along the yacht's profile, expressing a dual nature. On one side, precise engineering: the straight line of the corner, the industrial feel of the fillets, the calibrated dimensions that speak of technical mastery and high precision. On the other, fluidity and reflection: the surfaces surrounding the loop are deliberately pure and cleaned of excess, allowing complex curvatures to capture light and multiply the play of sea and sky.

This tension between engineered clarity and sculptural softness creates a unique identity: a yacht that is instantly recognizable, rigorously built, yet alive with natural beauty.

The Loggia on the sea: A Voyage Within

Designed by AMDL CIRCLE & Michele De Lucchi, the interiors of the Magellano 27M are rooted in a human truth: since the dawn of humankind, we have moved across lands and seas to discover, to connect, and to shape our future. The Magellano 27M honors this impulse, making the journey itself a place of meaning, identity, and self-discovery.

At the heart of the project lies the main deck, conceived as a vast loggia over the sea: a space deeply glazed, immersed in light, and articulated by wooden architectural elements that evoke Mediterranean pergolas and patios. The result is an environment suspended between inside and out, a place where the landscape becomes part of daily life, and where design does not divide but filters, accompanies, and protects in continuity with nature.

Natural light is treated as a material in its own right. It enters with intensity, as it does on the open sea, yet is softened and warmed by the extensive use of light wood that lines walls, ceilings, and furnishings. The outcome is a luminous and intimate setting, enveloping, where light vibrates and guides the gaze.

Metal and wooden details complete the project with a sophisticated accent, where nature's essence meets contemporary precision in an architecture of elegance, depth, and soul that resonates with Jämsén's vision, where solidity melts into movement and rigor flows into grace.

The Magellano 27M sits solidly into the water for long passages, yet she is conceived for the suspended poetry of time at anchor, where destinations unfold as immersive moments of beauty and belonging. She marks the dawn of a new Voyager era, an age where exploration is fulfilled by the art of presence.
