Since her launch from Nereids Yachts in 2005, she has been meticulously maintained and upgraded, including a refit in 2013, to ensure she is in pristine condition for every charter vacation. Her high-volume Michael Leach designed interior successfully combines elegant style with a well-balanced layout that offers a range of guest living areas to accommodate all manner of occasions. Large windows throughout allow for spectacular views and an abundance of natural light that highlights the range of beautiful woods, fine furnishings and sumptuous fabrics on board.
AZTECA sleeps up to 12 guests in six en suite staterooms including a full-beam main deck master suite, a full-beam VIP stateroom and a further two doubles and two twins, ideal for large families. Her outdoor areas are perfectly equipped for relaxation and entertainment while at sea, in particular the large sundeck that plays host to ample sunpads, a Jacuzzi, covered seating area and sun loungers.
Elsewhere on deck, guests can enjoy a number of al fresco dining options in addition to a bathing platform that provides easy access to her armada of toys and tenders to include a 10.3m Bimax tender, Seadoo’s, Waverunners and a jet ski.

COMMENTS
Launched in 2005, AZTECA presents in pristine condition thanks to a meticulous maintenance schedule and a 2023 refit. At 49.7 metres, this luxury superyacht squeezes a wide selection of amenities into her spacious interior volume of 497 GT—including space for 12 guests and a crew of 12. AZTECA was designed inside and out by Michael Leach. Her welded-steel hull encloses a few outdoor areas that are perfectly equipped for relaxation and entertainment at sea. She’s powered by two 2,250 hp Caterpillar engines to reach a cruising speed of 16 knots. If you cruise at a more economical speed of 12 knots, AZTECA has a range of 5,400 nautical miles and is is equipped with Quantum zero-speed stabilisers for extra comfort. One highlight is her large sun deck. You can head aft to sit in the Jacuzzi, flop out on one of the sun pads that surround it, or recline on the loungers. When you’re ready to cool down, you can move forward to grab a refreshment in the shade or head down to the upper deck aft for another covered seating and dining area. The layout of AZTECA is well-balanced, with plenty of space to relax and socialise. The upper salon is a more intimate space, with a small round table that’s ideal for playing games and a large screen for movie nights. The main salon offers a ring of sofas and seats, with a formal dining table that seats 12 amidships. The rest of the deck is dedicated to the full-beam owner’s suite that comes with an office and a large en suite with a full tub. The rest of the party will sleep on the lower deck, comprising a full-beam VIP with a large his and hers en suite bathroom and tub, two doubles and two twins. The interior of the AZTECA is a classic combination of cream carpets and furnishings with beautiful wood panelling and navy accents. Sliding glass doors connect the upper salon to the al fresco dining area and aft seating, helping to illuminate the room with natural light.
