CHAPMAN are proud to present CAPRICCIO, an exceptional Australian-built Azzura 50 Classic Launch that we are delighted to sell once again, having previously sold the vessel and now proudly managing her on behalf of her current owner.
Designed by renowned Australian naval architects Murray Burns and Andy Dovell, the Azzura 50 is an iconic Australian motor yacht and one of the country’s original “picnic boats”, predating the emergence of luxury dayboat brands such as Palm Beach Yachts. Combining timeless Down East styling with exceptional Australian craftsmanship, the Azzura 50 has earned a reputation as one of Australia’s most authentic and highly regarded luxury launches with a very unique layout that’s unparalleled for Australian day boating.
Built by the acclaimed Azzura Marine shipyard for a discerning yachtsman, CAPRICCIO showcases the exceptional timber craftsmanship, traditional joinery and build quality that define these highly sought-after vessels. Throughout her life, she has benefited from continuous reinvestment and sympathetic upgrades, with significant refits completed over the years. Most recently, she underwent a comprehensive refit in 2023, with all major capital reinvestment completed, presenting the vessel in outstanding turnkey condition.
Stepping aboard via the teak-laid swim platform, CAPRICCIO offers an inviting blend of elegance and practicality. The spacious aft cockpit flows seamlessly to the raised mezzanine and bridge deck, creating an exceptional indoor-outdoor entertaining space complete with generous seating, a high-gloss timber table that lowers to form a large daybed, retractable sunroof, and an offset helm providing excellent visibility. A dedicated companion seat allows 4 guests to enjoy the journey underway, while the foredeck offers expansive sunbathing space for relaxing at anchor.
Below deck, the warm timber interior remains a defining feature, showcasing beautifully handcrafted joinery, teak-and-holly flooring, and abundant natural light through the signature butterfly hatch. Accommodation comprises a generous forward master cabin, a comfortable guest cabin with over-and-under bunks, a well-appointed galley, and an inviting saloon with opposing lounges, making the vessel equally suited to weekend escapes or extended coastal cruising.
Powered by reliable twin Yanmar diesel engines and equipped with both bow and stern thrusters, CAPRICCIO delivers traditional, low-maintenance and dependable performance, together with effortless maneuverability in close quarters.
Having previously been sold by CHAPMAN and now professionally managed by our team, CAPRICCIO has been maintained to an exceptional standard, with the benefit of our comprehensive understanding of her ownership history, maintenance records and ongoing care. She represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of Australia’s most authentic and iconic luxury launches, with the confidence that the major capital reinvestment has already been completed. Furthermore, CHAPMAN can continue managing and operating the vessel on behalf of her next owner, providing a seamless transition and complete peace of mind well beyond the sale,
Opportunities to acquire an Azzura 50 of this calibre are exceptionally rare. Buyers are encouraged to come forward,
Cooper Chapman
