All-New Azimut Fly 53 Review (2022 Edition)

Azimut’s new 53 is an important yacht, an entry-level model that might be a buyer’s first taste of this Italian builder, it also goes head to head with some notable rivals

Azimut and designer Alberto Mancini have been creating a quiet revolution with a new generation of flybridge designs that are bold and elegant in equal measure while delivering some beguiling interior luxury, as spectacularly demonstrated on the new 37m Grande Trideck flagship. Can they pull off the same mix of wonders on a 50-footer?

Performance & Handling

Around the Marina

The 53 Fly is only available with Volvo Penta's IPS950 and that, of course, means joystick control. The boat responds well to inputs from the joystick even if you do feel the boat's height with the hard top fitted as it rolls a touch during sideways manoeuvres. The handling of the boat isn't an issue it's the view from the helms that makes life a little tricky.

You can't see the aft end of the boat from the flybridge and it's hard to communicate with the crew from the lower helm so it would make sense to, at the very least, add some cameras around the boat so you can use the MFDs to check position or tick the optional cockpit docking station for a better view aft. If you moor with the stern to the dock on a regular basis I would say this is a must-have. 

Moving around the boat is easy enough and there's a healthy amount of deck storage for fenders and lines but the lack of a side door into the saloon means crewing isn't as easy as it could be. 

The challenge with only providing one engine option is that it has to suit the boat perfectly and, thankfully, the D11 725hp motors of the IPS950 installation are a great match to the 53's refined, soft-riding hull shape. We topped out at a comfortable 31 knots (even touching 34 knots at one point with a bit of Solent tide beneath us) and cruised at 26 knots where the range is in the region of 300nm. The fuel burn curve is pretty flat once up to planing speeds, though, so even if you want to get a bit of a lick on the range doesn't drop too sharply. 

The handling is light but has a good amount of feel and the boat turns nicely for a weighty flybridge cruiser. The best handling boat I've driven in this category is the shaft-drive Princess F55 and though the Azimut may not be quite as sharp in the turns or feel quite as well balanced it's not far off. It's very quiet, too. IPS helps with this but the well-engineered engine room and its layers of sound insulation improve the sound levels even more. 

We didn't have much chop to play with during the test but on a busy day in the Solent, the wash from other craft did little to put the Azimut off its stride. The boat feels solid through the waves with no bangs, squeaks or rattles emanating from the hull or interior. It's an easy boat to drive at all speeds and, from the comfort of the upper helm especially, feels like a boat you could comfortably cover some decent ground on.

Design & Build

Yes, style is subjective, but can anyone argue against the idea that this Azimut 53 is one of the most beautiful 50ft flys ever made? Mancini’s hand is obvious from the angular bow and clean sharp lines that run aft, metallic topsides and black style lines stretching the yacht out further, delivering an impressive sleekness. Of course, the demands of the market mean that an unsightly hard top is never too far away and even the aesthetically conscious Azimut has had to concede. If it were my boat, I'd be opting for the canvas bimini every day of the week. 

Keeping the profile low while delivering good interior volume is incredibly hard to do at this length. And deliver it they have. A quick look at the layout suggests all the right component parts are held within this sleek yacht. Three cabins, including a full-beam owner’s stateroom, are found below decks with an open, spacious saloon above, the galley aft design connecting the interior to the aft deck while also delivering a very practical galley that runs across the beam.

But then, nothing short of excellent would cut it in a market that includes several award-winning yachts from the likes of Absolute, Sunseeker, Princess and Ferretti.   

Form and Function

Azimut is, it seems, not only aware of the competition but also how much use yachts of this size get put to by their owner-operators. The interior reflects the serious cruising requirements of a 16m flybridge with masses of stowage and easy-going nature that you just know will be a joy to use. 

This being an Azimut, the practicalities of yachting life run alongside plenty of style. The new interiors we saw on the Grande Tri-Deck and 68 find a subtle home here, with dreamy, pastel soft furnishings, not a hard edge to be found and a choice of clean cool finishes or warmer oak cabinetry, detailed with copper inlays.

Interior Accommodation

The 53’s interior design is wonderfully relaxing, there are marshmallows less sumptuous than the saloon’s inviting facing sofas. To the main port seating, an electric pedestal allows the dining table to drop into an occasion berth, a useful feature on a cruising yacht. 

We are now so used to builders working in massive glass sections that they can almost be overlooked, as opposed to gratefully looked through. Here, the saloon guests will enjoy unbroken views across the water from single-piece side screens, or perhaps watch the pop-up TV to starboard. 

That said, the low window line means that taller people won't have a great view out when standing in the saloon. The window line is undeniably sleek but the views out aren't as good as board the likes of the Absolute 52 Fly and Princess F55. There's also an odd lack of ventilation. There's a small window above the galley, aft, but there is no way of getting any natural ventilation into the helm station - not even a manual sliding window - so it gets pretty uncomfortable on hot days. 

The 53’s galley design spreads across the aft of the main deck, creating not only a space you can actually cook in, but also lots of practicality, from a proper cabinet refrigerator and dishwasher to designated drawers for glassware and crockery. The beauty of this galley is how everything is so neatly concealed behind the oak panels of the cabinetry, many with satisfying push catches that reveal things like the microwave and storage for the boat's crockery. It's a very clean look.  The design doesn’t allow that complete inside-outside flow into the cockpit, that large fridge winning out over an adjoining window and bar, but it does connect up the saloon and deck easily enough.

Tri-cab triumph

The three cabins are all excellent, the light, relaxed feel of the saloon continuing with a neat twin guest cabin forward VIP that shares a toilet and shower compartment. The owner’s stateroom is full beam with the ensuite lying forward at the cabin entrance. There is also space for a washing machine across the way. 

The layout is interesting. Instead of having the central doorway into the VIP cabin with the day head to port, the day head/VIP ensuite is centrally located, leaving the entrance to the VIP cabin to port. This arrangement creates a more spacious bathroom and provides a separate passageway into the VIP through the head compartment. It also puts the day head closer to the twin cabin, which without its own ensuite will use the day head as its bathroom. Some boats at this size have bunks in the third cabin so it's nice to see side-by-side berths aboard the 53 Fly. 

The owner’s cabin is luxurious and clever in equal measure. Two smart strips of glass line the walls, with mirrors positioned to visually extend the window design and create a sense of even more space. The yacht’s sleek profile is perhaps felt a little in this cabin, with slightly less volume than say the Sunseeker Manhattan 55, but there is still full headroom around the double berth and space for a sofa, dressing area and, most impressively, a full-height walk-in wardrobe. 

Helm Station

The low brow of the windscreen means the view is a little restricted when standing at the lower helm but the adjustable seat makes it easy to get comfortable with a decent view forward thanks to thin windscreen mullions and the position of the wheel towards the centreline. The dash itself is stylish and attractive, dominated as it is upstairs by the comically large and thick steering wheel. 

Our boat had the Gold electronics package which provides 12in Garmin MFDs over the standard 9in ones and this is an investment worth making. It's good to see a remote keypad to control the screens on the dash as well as the touchscreen functionality which can be a bit tricky to use if the boat is bouncing around.  

The lack of ventilation is one issue at the lower helm but having no window to be able to communicate with crew limits the scenarios where you would want to moor the boat from here. When some rivals have full side doors it's not really good enough to have no windows around the helm at all. 

Upstairs there are few complaints. The seated position is excellent and the layout of the dash works very well indeed. Having the major controls on a long moulding to port means the skipper can sit back in their seat and reach the joystick, throttles and the remote for the twin MFDs really easily. The dash is clearly laid out and nice to look at, though it could do with a bit more storage for loose items.

Deck lifestyle

The flybridge is pretty clear on its focus, it’s not the biggest but it is very welcoming with a circular design that is perfect for loafing, lounging and generally enjoying the good life. A large sun pad forward is joined by a wraparound aft seat and fold-out bar-dining table that will also convert to a massive pad. In between, a useful wet bar will keep guests supplied with cold drinks. The optional electro-hydraulic bimini is the more pleasing option for the eye but many will fall for the versatility and ease of the hardtop, which has built-in lighting and a sliding canvas roof operated by a one-touch control on the upper helm. 

Down the flybridge stairs, the aft cockpit keeps things simple with an L-shaped bench and dining area, fender and warp storage below the seats. Even though there is no through window to the galley, it’s great that Azimut has chosen to still deliver a neat bar area, sat beneath the flybridge overhang, making the aft deck feel more sociable and sophisticated. The entire area can be enclosed with canopy covers to extend the living space in poor weather, too. 

At this length, a forward lounge is far from guaranteed and so it should be fully appreciated. This one has a separate seating area, the sunpad running down to the bow. The backrest mechanism is particularly smart and uses hinges and gas rams so you can quickly switch between the two positions. There is also the option for a shade sitting on carbon poles, a useful addition when in port or at anchor. 

At the stern, the hydraulic bathing platform will easily launch the tender (up to 500kg) or serve as a fun swim platform when the boat's at anchor. The transom also gives access to the crew cabin with a single bed and toilet, it could easily make up another occasional guest berth but is probably destined to be a high-end storage area. 

Value For Money

The Azimut 53 must rank as one of the smartest and most cohesive 50ft yachts on the market. In the 10m-15m market, we are seeing a move away from luxurious detail and craft, with builders employing clever if often blandly homogeneous production finishes. Here, the level of thought, design and finish on offer gets the luxury balance right and separates this yacht from what is a crowded market. So while there might be larger yachts in this sector, and some that can match the Azimut on the finish, few mix style, speed and space so effortlessly.

It feels like a quality product, too, not only in the obvious stuff like brightwork and interior finish but the engine room is one of the best in the sector with plenty of space to work on the engines, a very neat installation and some useful extras like a freshwater hose and a pair of wandering lights that attach to the ceiling for easy illumination of the darker corners. 

The base price for a 53 is €1.1 million ex VAT (at the time of writing) but our test boat had around €500,000 of extras including the hard top, Seakeeper, Gold navigation package, crew cabin fit-out, uprated generator and air-conditioning meaning the price as tested was €1.72 million ex VAT (at the time of writing). 

To use a boxing analogy, a 50ft flybridge might well be the best pound-for-pound cruiser out there. Big and heavy enough to be comfortable in most seas, it is still agile and rewarding to drive, offers three good cabins over a 40-footer’s two but is just as easy to self-pilot. The Azimut 53 does all of this and adds some breathtaking design that will look good forever, but, importantly, never forgets that while it is a luxury yacht it is also one that is destined to be used, and you will definitely enjoy using this boat. It's a shame about the lack of ventilation in the saloon and the view aft from the flybridge but there's still a lot to like about this fabulously stylish flybridge cruiser. 

Reasons to Buy

• Handsome design
• Handling and performance
• Well proportioned cabins
• Excellent engine room

Things to Consider

• Lack of ventilation in the saloon
• Poor view aft from upper helm

There is no lack of fast, spacious 50ft flybridge yachts, with all the big players involved, which is why any new boat coming to market needs to go hard or go home. You can demand and win 30knots, three cabins, bright glass-clad salons and spacious decks from any number of builders and with a good deal of variation on price. What you won't always enjoy is the style and beauty on offer here, but we shall leave that subjective point to the beholder. 

The award-winning Sunseeker Manhattan 55 is an obvious rival, big on space and luxury it is arguably the class leader. Azimut’s old adversity, Ferretti , has the clean and serene 550, a larger yacht with crisp Italian style and inside and a very similar layout to the 53.     

The Princess F55 is another close rival, and notably longer yacht, with the same layout on and below decks and a similarly light and welcoming style. The British boat has a big flybridge with masses of seating.

The Absolute 52 Fly and Galeon 530 Fly offer clever deck and interior spaces and more bombastic styling but they are unlikely to be as dynamically sweet as the Azimut. 

It is to the Azimut 53’s credit that all of its main three-cabin rivals are longer boats. Half a meter might not sound much but it counts for a lot on interior volume, so Azimut and its design team are to be congratulated for delivering this amount of easy-living yacht under 17m (55ft).

Azimut Fly 53 Layout

A simple, social, circular design wraps around the flybridge with a forward sunpad and an aft lounge and dining area that will convert to another pad 

The salon has a galley aft design, with a slightly raised lounge forward. On deck, an L-shaped seating area is joined by a neat bar in the cockpit, while forward another lounge area will be a great spot in port     

The full-beam Owner's stateroom and forward VIP will get the headlines but the fact the third cabin has twin berths, rather than bunks, is a key point. An optional aft crew or occasional cabin can also be specified

Azimut S8 Review: Perfect Sports Yacht

Interesting in many aspects, the new Azimut S8 boasts great performance, large open exterior spaces and lavishly designed interior, and a stylish overall feeling shaped by designers Alberto Mancini and Francesco Guida

The latest model in Azimut S Collection has entered the market in 2019 at Cannes Yachting Festival , without much pomp, overshadowed by S10, the biggest in her line. After a long pandemic year where not much happened in the yachting world, this year’s Venice Boat Show finally gave her and other newcomers a chance to shine. We were lucky enough to take her for a ride around the Lagoon and see what she can do. We found the new Azimut S8 simply irresistible for several reasons.

Azimut S8 range

Powered by three Volvo IPS (3 x IPS 1350 1000 hp), she’s impressively fast. Acceleration, speed, maneuvering capabilities and above all, smooth sailing, are all equally attractive to turn everyone into a fan of the S8.

Azimut s8 layout.

The interior is just as inviting. Straight up from the cockpit, the salon offers two sofas in the sitting area, then continues to the dining space starboard and the command post to the port, with two seats and a dedicated door leading to the deck.

Yacht with four cabins

The salon is well lit by natural light seeping through large windows and the skylight, which can be covered electrically. The command console is large and has three Garmin screens that control everything, even the engines. Below deck, beside the galley, there are four cabins – the master aft, the VIP in the bow, and two guest cabins with Pullman beds, and the S8 overall has ten berths. Another big hit for Azimut, and a challenge for every builder looking to do better in this class.

Hi all! At FLIBS this year and looking at a brand new motor yacht. Narrowed it down to either the Azimut 53 or the Sunseeker Manhattan 55 . Both seem to be about the same price with the same wait time. Boating in the northeast for the summers and Florida for the winters. Any recommendations on which way to go?

Capt Ralph Senior Member

If it is down to these two choices; Manhattan

olderboater Senior Member

For me, that's a no brainer as I'd pick the Sunseeker. I find their quality of delivered boat to be better and I'd rather depend on them for warranty service. Also, I think the Manhattan's have an excellent ride and performance. I don't like that the only engine choices are Volvo. However, I do like that on the Sunseeker you can choose shafts vs pods and I'd choose shafts. If possible to get MAN's in the Sunseeker, I'd choose them. I like both layouts and designs as they are very similar.

Capt J Senior Member

Sunseeker without a doubt, much better sea boat and much better quality. Do a search for the Azimut delamination threads if you need any convincing at all. Here's the latest: Delaminating Azimut 55s....thoughts? - General Yachting Discussion | YachtForums: We Know Big Boats!

Oh, and by the way, you can save yourself the effort of asking in this forum "which way to go" between Azimut and anything else. Most folks will tell you to not go for Azimut regardless of what anything else is. As opposed to Sskr, which for some reason attracts a lot of fanboys. I already mentioned in the past that there must be good reasons why Azimut turnover puts Sskr (and just about anyone else in the industry) to shame, but this is something the cognoscenti don't seem to care about...

Liam Senior Member

I agree with MapisM. As for the delamination on the Azimut 55S, I saw 2 new 52 Manhattans delaminate, couple years ago, which where rectified under warranty asap. Sunseeker should be the least to have delamination because unlike Azimut they do not infuse hulls. Sunseeker infuses only the top-sides. I think of the major EU brands only Sunseeker and Ferretti do not yet infuse the hulls.

mapism said: ↑ It it's down to these two choices, I'd have neither. A 50+ flybridge is a decent enough size to pretend more than a boat designed for the wow factor vs. the clients while saving on build costs at the yard, which is essentially what IPS powered boats are. And in a sense, the fact that S/skr offers the choice between pods and shafts is even more concerning, since any hull can only be optimized for either one or the other propulsion, and never for both. In that type/size of boat, I'd rather have a Ferretti 550 any day of the week. No-compromise shafts only design, solid MAN engines, and an overall construction quality which is at least on par if not superior to both AZ and Sskr. No idea at all about price, but I guess they can't ask much more money than Azimut or S/skr, since most target clients are unlikely to accept a big price difference even if arguably they could be worth it, for the reasons I just mentioned.

tader2112 said: ↑ We wanted to check out the Ferretti 550 but the smallest they had at the show was the 720.

I have friends with a Neptunus 50 something. Seems well built. They really like it. I've been on board once and liked it but I'm no expert. Cat engines. Northern Light gens. Side Power etc. US appliances plumbing and HVAC Can dollar advantage vis a vis pounds or euros. Factory near you in St. Catherines to track the build, fix things etc. Just a (patriotic) thought.

Further, Neptunus and Princess (introduced to this thread by others), should be looked at also for comparisons of good boats.

Organise a test drive of the two prospects in choppy seas . One will be the clear winner .Shaft MAN vs of the Squeeker btw . Theres only so far you can go from the arm chair and boat show touch n feel comparisons . Try before you buy .

motoryachtlover Senior Member

OP search this forum for a lawsuit involving the Sunseeker dealer in S. Florida and make sure you steer clear of this particular dealer. Also it served as a good lesson on how a new boat purchase can be a riskier endeavor than buying used. You mentioned buying new and I thought you would find the thread very interesting to say the least.

Azimut 66 review: from the archive

• Düsseldorf Boat Show

More than just a simple upgrade on previous models, the Azimut 66 offers an innovative layout, cutting-edge construction and, of course, the finesse we expect from the Italian yard

The Azimut 66 replaces the yard’s existing 64 model, which in turn replaced the original 62.

Between them, Azimut sold over 300 units of the 62/64, making for one of the yard’s most successful model series ever.

With heady expectations to meet, Azimut has cleaned the slate and started again with the 66. It is not a mere upgrade of the 64, it is a brand new boat with an extra cabin, much improved deck spaces and a far more modern construction.

The flat foredeck is a styling cue but also adds to the feeling of safety when you’re right forward.

Ninety per cent of the moulding is done using vinylester resin infusion, though Azimut isn’t the only production yard doing this sort of thing.

Recommended videos for you

Where the yard is ahead of the game, however, is in its utilisation of carbon fibre in the build.

We saw this in the 55S but with the 66 it’s taken to the next level to ensure that volume and deck space are maximised without compromising the driving experience.

The foredeck, flybridge structure, radar arch and hardtop are all reinforced with carbon fibre, the result being that the Azimut 66 is over 2ft longer than the yard’s own Magellano 66 but weighs nearly 4 tonnes less.

Above and beyond

The flybridge and foredeck are major improvements; the top deck is now 28m² and the layout is hard to improve, particularly the optional lounging area on the very aft section of the deck.

Usually here there is a choice between a sunpad, open deck space for a couple of sunloungers, or tender storage with a crane.

On the 66, Azimut has designed some stylish low-slung seating around a cocktail table so guests can sit in comfort enjoying the elevated views away from the cover of the hardtop.

The layout of the flybridge combines an excellent blend of dining, sunbathing and loafing space.

The boat we had on trial didn’t have this option and the flybridge felt less special for it.

There is, of course, another seating area amidships, opposite the wet-bar, focused more on dining and right forward, the twin helm is supplemented by a U-shaped seating area adjacent that guests can sit at while the boat is moving or use as a mini sunpad at anchor.

There isn’t a huge amount of out-and-out sunbathing space on the flybridge but that is more than made up for on the foredeck.

The arrowhead bow that has become a signature piece of Azimut design divides opinion stylistically, but it does increase the available space at the bow and make for a flat, safe area to crew and tend to the ground tackle.

The mirrored glass is an Azimut hallmark and helps to reduce UV damage.

The eight-person bench forward of the windscreen is separated from the four-person sunpad by a teak-laid walkway – not groundbreaking stuff in this market, but a big improvement over what the 64 offered.

The changes are less obvious in the saloon, where the amidships galley arrangement remains with the main dining area located handily opposite.

Whereas the 64 had a storage unit opposite the lounging area aft, the Azimut 66 has yet more seating to create a more sociable arrangement, though you do lose the useful cupboard storage.

To counter this, Azimut has worked more storage into the galley itself and created a handy little breakfast bar facing back into the galley opposite the helm.

The galley isn’t enormous but the space on offer is used well.

It may not have the single-level expansiveness of the Princess 68 or the saloon/cockpit connection of the aft-galley Prestige 680, but the styling and use of materials is effortlessly stylish and cool. It’s beautifully done.

In fitting four cabins within the 66’s lower deck, Azimut has had to be smart with the configuration.

The twin cabin on the starboard side, which has a pair of side-by-side berths and its own ensuite, eats into the floorspace of the master cabin so, to counter that, the bed in the master lies athwartships.

This is irregular and space down the left hand side of the boat is tight up against the ensuite bulkhead, but the positive result is that hull windows are at either end of the bed meaning you get light pouring over you from behind and water level views at the end of the bed.

The master ensuite is dripping with quality materials.

The ensuite – beautifully finished and doing a passable impression of a top-end hotel – runs alongside the bed and also provides some extra insulation from the machinery space right aft.

Between the twin cabin bulkhead and the large L-shaped wardrobe on the starboard side, Azimut has found space for a small two-person dinette, which is more likely to be used as a vanity station than a place to eat breakfast.

I love the way the bedhead is set within an alcove that has the portside hull window at its centre with uplighting and built-in bedside tables either side.

It hammers home the hotel feel – this is a space that feels not like a cabin but an exquisitely decorated bedroom.

If the VIP cabin is occupied then the twin cabin is a fine alternative.

The VIP cabin is treated to abundant natural light thanks to long windows.

It has the polished feel of the other cabins, two comfortable berths and a pair of almost ornamentally pretty round ports that fire natural light into the space to deceive the eye that it has more room than it does.

Mix in abundant storage and access to its own ensuite – albeit one that is also the day heads – and you have a cabin that guests will be more than happy to use for an extended stay.

There is only space in the fourth cabin for bunks, most likely aimed at kids, but the beds are spacious enough for adults to use and, for a charter boat, the four-cabin layout will be particularly attractive, especially with a generous twin crew cabin located aft.

First-class machinery

Venture into the engineroom and it’s clear that beneath the glamorous lines and mirrored glass there is top-class engineering and practical detailing.

The two big CAT motors are mounted with plenty of space around them to check all sides of both engines.

Piping is clearly labelled, not just with what it does but the direction of flow, too.

Clear bulbs on the fuel filters make checking for the early signs of fuel contamination as easy as possible and there are extra goodies, such as a light on a wandering lead and a freshwater hose to swill the bilges.

The master’s cosy dinette is a more useful solution than the usual chaise longue.

Glamorous this stuff ain’t but it underpins the Azimut 66’s style and panache and, for a boat that will most likely be owner-run, this sensible design and ease of maintenance is very important.

One of the reasons why Azimut chose Caterpillar engines is because spare parts are so readily available thanks to CAT’s massive commercial machinery business.

The C18 ACERT 1,150s are the only engines on the options list so if they underperform it spells trouble.

Thankfully, with nearly full fuel, a quarter water and some cruising stores on board, we saw just over 33 knots at the top end.

So performance isn’t an issue and neither is refinement.

The galley forward leaves plenty of space aft for a sociable lounge.

Azimut’s attitude to sound deadening is fastidious and the results are clear to see, or hear, especially from the lower helm.

It’s a whisper-quiet machine that effortlessly surges from displacement plod to planning jog in a near-imperceptible transition.

The fly-by-wire steering is perfectly judged, though its sensitivity and responsiveness can be adjusted by the owner.

It’s unlikely that many people will be tweaking the steering response of their 40-tonne flybridge, especially when the standard set-up is so sweet.

The Azimut 66 is genuinely fun to drive, which is not something in the remit of a boat like this, but if it puts a smile on your face as you flick the chunky steering wheel from side to side, all the better.

Part of the steering system that Azimut has developed means that the rudders turn to a greater angle at low speeds to make the turn tighter.

Ferretti has been using a similar feature for some time now but Azimut’s works without the car-like auto-centre trick that the Ferretti version has and takes some getting used to.

At slow speeds, an integrated joystick system combines the engines and thrusters to give you IPS-like slow-speed control, and it works brilliantly.

The response and reaction times aren’t quite as quick and smooth as the pods but it’s a worthwhile alternative to the traditional way of handling a twin shaftdrive boat.

The large thick rimmed steering wheel looks and feels fantastic.

The lower helm is an attractive mix of coffee and caramel tones and with gorgeous, adjustable Treben helm seats and mercifully skinny windscreen mullions, the view forward is excellent.

The multi-function displays are both too much of a stretch, even with the seat as close to the dash as it will go, so you find yourself leaning forward a lot of the time.

At the upper helm, the screens are closer but the seats don’t adjust as far so there are compromises at both driving positions.

The upper helm lacks the adjustment of the one below but it is very clearly laid out and smartly finished.

Our test in Savona did little to test the mettle of the Studio PLANA hull design and any wake crossings were dismissed with a condescending shrug.

Given the solidity of the boat as a whole and Azimut’s reputation, I would be surprised if rough seas threw up any nasty surprises but we certainly didn’t have the weather to prove that during the sea trial.

Breakfast bar.

This neat area adjacent to the lower helm and facing into the galley works brilliantly as a spot to sit and chat to the cook or have a morning coffee, plus it gives guests a place to keep the person at the helm on passage company, though they will be facing the wrong way.

Thanks to electrochromic glass, this partition in the galley switches from clear to opaque at the flick of a switch.

Whether you want privacy from crew or to hide piles of plates, it’s a useful feature, not to mention a funky party trick.

With two generous berths set at a right angle and a separate bathroom with shower, the Azimut 66’s crew cabin could feasibly be used by guests – especially kids – for a short stay.

Sadly there isn’t space for an access door through to the engineroom, which would be useful for crewed boats.

The fuel filters have glass bowls for quick checks.

Behind the swooping lines and mirrored windows you find an engineroom bristling with thoughtful, practical design.

The fuel filters have glass bowls for quick checks, all pipes and wires are labelled with what they do and, for pipes, direction of flow, plus there is a light on a wandering lead and a freshwater hose.

Azimut 66 verdict

Sales success isn’t exactly a scientific way of quantifying how good a boat is. Brand loyalty goes a long way, as does an individual deal negotiated with a dealer, but for 35 contracts to have been signed since January 2016 and 15 boats delivered, Azimut must be doing something right.

As an improvement over the model it replaces, you couldn’t ask for more.

It has one more cabin, a much-improved foredeck, larger, better laid-out flybridge and a more spacious master cabin.

It is heavier, yes, but, thanks to the carbon fibre, with the same engines as the 64, it is only a knot slower at the top end.

The Azimut 66 finds itself somewhere between the Princess 68 and Prestige 680 when it comes to starting prices and that feels about right.

The 68 demands a premium as it includes four cabins without the compromise of one of them having bunk beds.

The fixed comfortable furniture aft on the flybridge is a rare treat.

The Prestige has a clever layout and marvellous raised master cabin forward but the use of materials isn’t as good as the Azimut and it lacks the visual punch.

In fact, most of the Azimut’s major rivals bow down to its attention-grabbing exterior and interesting lines.

What’s key though, is that the Azimut 66 isn’t simply relying on looking different to tempt customers away from other brands.

Beneath the glitz and glamour is a boat rippling with top-class engineering and quality boatbuilding, a recipe that is likely to see this new model tread comfortably in its predecessor’s footsteps.

Azimut 55S Yacht Review

Azimut 55S Yachts

The s collection is perfect for your luxurious lifestyle.

Sport yachts come in all shapes and sizes, but what makes a sport yacht more than just a fast vessel, is the attention to the design of the boat. Azimut has been producing some of the best sport yachts around for many years and their Azimut 55S yachts for sale have become among the most sought after sport yachts on the market today. The features are many, and the speed is great, but the remarkable design of this vessel is what sets it apart from all others.

Power and Performance

A sport yacht cannot truly be called a sport yacht without the performance capabilities of that style of vessel. The Azimut 55S yachts for sale have been designed to be among the most performance driven vessels on the waterways today. The power comes from the impressive triple engine configuration powering this beast through waters throughout the world. Although there are other engine options for you to truly customize your vessel, the standard options for this yacht are three 435 HP Volvo D6 IPS 600s. With this engine configuration you can expect speed of up to 40 miles per hour with a cruising speed close to 35, so no matter where you find yourself on the water, the Azimut 55S yacht can get you through any conditions with awesome power every time and quite possibly the best part of this engine configuration is the fact that it uses 35% less fuel than comparable engines.

Light and Airy

Living on the water is a dream of many people, but some yachts tend to have interiors that feel quite cramped even when the vessel is among the largest yachts. Space is not always about the actual square footage, but rather the light that is in the interior space. Light soaked areas feel less enclosed an onboard the Azimut 55S yachts for sale, every part of the interior is flooded with light to improve the experience of the occupants of the yacht. The spacious staterooms below deck offer light through skylights as well as port and starboard lights to maximize the natural light available to the space. Each stateroom has its own head compartment with a light and airy feeling as well. Cooking onboard the Azimut 55S yachts are easy as the light continues into the space and the options for customization within the galley. The choice of fixtures and finishes including sink, cooktop, and refrigeration can turn your galley onboard into your gourmet kitchen on the water.

Time to Disembark

When it comes time to get off of the Azimut 55S yacht you may find that certain ports do not allow for yachts as large as this one. The solution is easy with the touch of a button. The tender for this vessel is located at the stern of the yacht and deploys easy for land excursions. It can accommodate many people and is a quick way to get to shore when the port of call is smaller than what is needed. Getting back onboard is just as easy with the wide garage door style hatch. The innovative technology is something that many other yachts will follow after, but Azimut was the first to implement.

• Length:                                 56’ 9”
• Beam:                                   15’ 7”
• Draft:                                    3’ 9”
• Weight:                               23.22 Tons
• Fuel Capacity:                    423 Gallons

Azimut reveals new 44m flagship with 5 units already sold

Italian shipyard Azimut has added a new flagship to its Grande range in the form of a new 43.8-metre yacht, which has been revealed for the first time at the Palm Beach International Boat Show. CEO Marco Valle said the yard had already sold five units in the new line to existing Azimut owners, and described the line as a "new era for Azimut". 

The first unit of the four-deck 499GT series is set for delivery in time for the September 2026 boat show season.

Exteriors of the GRP build come from long-time Azimut collaborator Alberto Mancini , while interiors have been helmed by M2 Atelier .  The studio's partner Marco Bonelli described the design as "refined" with pure themes that "capture the essence of flowing water".

Features of the Grande 44M include a completely private 50-square-metre owner's deck with a forward-facing, glass-encased space that can be used as a dining area, media room or otherwise, making good use of the yacht's 8.6-metre beam. On the main deck aft, the yacht will have an infinity pool that creates what the yard is calling a "see-through dining area".

The Grande 44M is expected be powered by twin MAN engines, delivering a top speed of 17 knots. 

Construction will take place in Viareggio, with the moulds already taking shape. 

Azimut last revealed the Grande 30M to BOAT International. The first unit is scheduled for delivery in 2025 and will feature the shipyard's trademark "Deck2Deck Terrace" and "Infinity Skydeck".

It was around 7 a.m. Kevin and Judy McGovern were enjoying a 20th wedding anniversary breakfast at Solomons Island, Maryland. Kevin turned his eyes toward the marina and gazed at the homage to fiberglass that lined the docks. He looked to his wife and said, “We should do that. We should get a boat.”

Most individuals discover the sport because a friend or family member introduces them to it. It’s an unusual (and very cool) thing for someone to simply look out onto a gaggle of yachts and decide over eggs and coffee to pick up the habit. But that’s just what happened to this now-hard-core cruising couple five years ago. I recently caught up with the McGoverns while in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to put their second boat, a brand-spanking-new Azimut 64, through a wring-out. She’s quite the choice for a second yacht too.

The duo’s first vessel was a 44-foot, pod-drive-equipped express cruiser. Kevin tells me that he was drawn to pod drives because they eliminated the trepidation of operating the boat around the dock as a new helmsman. Though the owner jumped up 20 feet in length with his current craft, he wanted a yacht that offered him the same confidence of command in tight spots. But the Azimut 64 is powered with twin 1,015-metric-horsepower Caterpillar C18 straight-shaft diesels — no pods here.

Enter the optional Xenta integrated docking system, which utilizes the boat’s electric bow thruster and propellers activated via, well, a joystick, to spin and dock the boat. The McGoverns, who have been putting in some serious sea time, say it’s working great. They logged about 140 hours of cruising between south Florida and the Bahamas during the first three months of ownership. Kevin says he’s quite comfortable operating the 64 around other boats, knowing that he can bump his yacht one way or the other with a fingertip’s touch. I noted the owner’s confidence during our sea trial as he maneuvered his vessel with an old salt’s hand.

Of course I couldn’t let him have all of the fun, so after gathering some speed and fuel data (and smiling nicely for the helicopter overhead doing our photo shoot), I took in some wheel time.

While operating the 64 from the lower helm, which is situated to the starboard side and forward of amidships, her modified-V hull with 17 degrees of deadrise in the after sections easily dispatched the two- to four-foot chop on the waters outside Port Everglades Inlet. (That hull is solid fiberglass and is constructed via resin infusion, as is the 64’s superstructure and decks, which results in a solid yet relatively lightweight vessel. Carbon fiber is used to reinforce areas of high stress, and structural bulkheads are comprised of fiberglass over a PVC foam core.)

My test 64 ran with aplomb in all directions, and her optional auto tabs ensured that her trim angle was optimized for the sloppy sea state. Running her motors at a comfortable 2,000 rpm and with 50 percent tab, this yacht effortlessly made an average cruising speed of 28.2 knots, which, considering her 1,030-gallon fuel capacity, results in a comfortable range of 327 nautical miles at a fuel burn of 80 gph. She hit a top hop of 33.7 knots, which ups the fuel burn to 116 gph. The boat’s hydraulic, power-assisted steering enabled me to maneuver her like a sports car with hard-over turns at cruise speed resulting in three-plus boat-length turns.

I easily could’ve cut a half-boat length (maybe even a full one) off those turns and gained even more James Bond boatlike performance out of her if I’d temporarily turned off the two optional Seakeeper M8000 gyros set under the deck and all the way aft to port and starboard. The gyros steadied the vessel every time I spun the wheel. I’ve experienced this technology on numerous boats and am always amazed at how well it works. Earlier in the morning as the 64 sat in the white-topped swells awaiting the helicopter, no one aboard could tell there was a sea running unless they looked out the house-length side windows or helm-spanning front window. (Azimut was actually the first builder to embrace Seakeeper gyros for its line of boats.) Mal de mer shouldn’t be an issue for anyone on board this yacht.

In addition to assured handling, these cruisers were looking for a vessel with space for the family. Their 64 is equipped with three staterooms and three heads. There’s even a respectable-size crew quarters aft in the event the couple wants to take along an occasional captain for those weekend or longer Bahamas runs across the Gulf Stream.

This yacht’s accommodations’ centerpiece is the full-beam master, which sports an athwartship berth, and makes this duo smile as they talk about the voluminous living space. Eight vertical hull side windows (four port, four starboard) enable natural light to bathe the area, which is complemented by soft lighting hidden behind the valances.

The McGoverns added optional HMC mattresses in all the staterooms, including that crew space. (When you’re putting in the many hours on the water that the McGoverns do, you want that blissful sleep that only happens at sea.)

Although the owners truly enjoyed their first vessel, another big attractor to move from an express-style boat to a flybridge one was the cave effect the 44-footer gave them, especially when transiting waterways during inclement weather. Simply put, belowdecks was too dark and not conducive to a fun boating experience. But their 64’s sizable salon windows provide 360-degree vistas. If it’s raining, they can just slide open the glass doors leading to the cockpit and the flybridge overhang will keep water from getting inside while still allowing for a breeze.

If it gets too hot or humid, just close that door and the 93,000 Btu Condaria chilled-water air-conditioning system can offer an Arctic-like cool that would make penguins shiver. Really. A 23 kW Kohler genset ensures that systems like that air conditioning stay running while under way.

The impressive view is enough of a reason to hang out in the salon, but another one is that its layout is geared for entertaining. Two great conversation areas are found immediately inside the salon door leading from the optional teak-covered cockpit. To port, a U-shape sofa is directly across from a settee to starboard. Also to starboard and a step up is the dining area for four to six people, which sits just abaft that lower helm and across from the galley. And wherever you plant yourself, you can converse without raising your voice because the 64 is fairly quiet, even when streaking across the ocean at almost 34 knots. Taking sound measurements at the lower helm, I never saw a reading above 77 dB(A). (The level of normal conversation is 65 dB(A).)

This 64-footer, which was also outfitted for the American market with a stylish retractable hardtop, is the first one to arrive stateside. But after seeing how well she handled in open water, noting her solid performance and build, and observing how well she accommodates the cruising family, I’d venture that many more should be en route here shortly.

It was around noon and the McGoverns sat in the shaded cockpit of their Azimut 64, smiling as they gazed out onto a gaggle of yachts lining the docks at the Bahia Mar marina. But they weren’t looking from a distance through a restaurant window; they were part of the flock.
