Motor yachtAzimut 53

The Azimut 53 Fly is a stylish Italian flybridge boat designed by Alberto Mancini. Priced starting at 1.1 million euros excluding VAT (at 2023), it faces stiff competition from Fairline, Princess, and Sunseeker.

Driving Experience

The Azimut 53 Fly features the IPS 950 Volvo Penta D11-725 engines, delivering a smooth and quiet ride at 25 knots. The lower helm offers an adjustable seat and excellent visibility but lacks natural ventilation. The upper helm provides better ventilation, a comfortable driving position, and intuitive controls. The boat's performance is impressive, with a top speed of 34 knots and a cruising range of nearly 400 nautical miles at 25 knots.

On Deck

The hydraulic bathing platform can hold up to 500 kg and the cockpit offers options like a wet bar and adjustable table. The side decks are wide and safe, leading to a versatile foredeck with actuated sunpads and a walkthrough deck. The flybridge features a hardtop with a retractable canvas roof, ample seating, a wet bar, and sunbathing space. The helm on the flybridge is well-protected and offers excellent visibility.

Interior and Accommodation

The interior is bright and stylish with oak cabinetry. The aft galley layout connects seamlessly with the cockpit. The saloon offers comfortable seating and a large, adjustable table. The lower deck layout includes a spacious VIP cabin, a twin cabin, and a master cabin with a walk-in wardrobe. The crew cabin is functional, providing extra sleeping space or storage. The engine room is well-organized, with easy access for maintenance.

The Azimut 53 Fly is a well-rounded boat, offering excellent performance, stylish design, and practical features. Its thoughtful layout and comfortable accommodations make it a strong contender in its class.
