When the Beachclub 40 is the better choice
If your days are about swimming, long lunches at anchor and having guests on board, the Beachclub 40 gives you more usable space at water level per metre of yacht. It is also the more compact choice for marinas and as a chase tender.
When the AZUR 45 is the better choice
If you cruise between harbours, stay on board for a night or two, or sail in northern Europe, the AZUR 45 offers two cabins, a sheltered hardtop cockpit on the 45HT and more range.
