Azimut Atlantis 34 (2012 - 2021) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 34 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Sportscruisers (up to 45ft)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the 34 delivers speeds of up to 31 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: swim platform functioning as a 2.5 square metre private beach club, table for six can be transformed into a sun pad, sunroof equipped with a manual soft-top, spacious sun pad at bow and deck is well equipped with storage, bottle holders and lockers.

Accommodation

The Azimut 34 offers a versatile accommodation layout that caters to both day boating enthusiasts and those who may occasionally seek overnight or weekend getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Azimut 34 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 20 knots and a top speed of 31 knots. The Azimut 34 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and its target audience will be those who enjoy the journey over the destination. The title for the fastest cruising speed goes to the Fairline 33 which has an impressive cruising speed of 38 knots powered by its twin 280hp Volvo Penta V6-240-C engines and can reach a top speed of 48 knots. This is closely followed by the Regal Boats 33 with a notable cruising speed of 28 knots and top speed of 45 knots.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Jeanneau 33 impresses with its extensive range of 566 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Galeon 335 HTS, Fairline 33, Regal Boats 33, Jeanneau 33 and Jeanneau 33 all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Fairline 33 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 48 knots and cruising speed of 38 knots.
