Interior

He was impressed with the yacht's outdoor and indoor seating areas. He particularly commended the extendable table that allows for additional seating. As he moved inside, he appreciated the Italian style of Azimut, demonstrated in the boat's beautiful linings, headlining, and lighting. He also noted the boat's sporty design with a large opening roof section at the front. The interior is spacious and comfortable, with the helm featuring beautiful seats and an electronic touchscreen.

Nick was especially fascinated by the lower deck's layout. He noted that the galley is on a half deck and neatly tucked away, equipped with a large fridge freezer and all-electric cooking. He explored the accommodation area, appreciating the Italian styling and the ensuite bathrooms with separate shower stalls. The master cabin is stunning with beautiful lighting solutions, concealed storage, and a backlit TV.

On Deck

At the stern of the yacht, there is a tender garage that could store a jetski. He found the design to be efficient as the whole structure folds and rotates down, creating a large flat deck when the equipment is in use, despite having no hydraulic platform.

The side decks are partially enclosed with large arches and an overhang, which give a superyacht feel. He also mentioned the convenient seating area on the foredeck and sun loungers.  In the aft cockpit there is a wet bar with a barbecue, sink, fridge, and ice maker. He was particularly excited by the flybridge, which was described as an extra little area with a social space, sunbathing area, wet bar, and upper helm. He also mentioned the boat has an opening roof section over the helm, which he felt added a genuine outdoor experience.

Crew Accommodation

The crew quarters are accessed via the side deck and features laundry facilities, day heads with shower, and two good sized single cabins.

Performance

The engine room is equipped with three Volvo Penta IPS-1350 engines that provide a total of 3,000 horsepower, allowing the boat to reach speeds of up to 34 knots. The engine room is well-equipped with electronic controls, a gyroscopic stabilizer, generators, and a water maker.

In Summary

Nick was thoroughly impressed with the Azimut S8. He praised its stunning design, spacious interiors, and impressive performance.
