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.

Performance

When it comes to performance, the Azimut 34 with a top speed of 31 knots can't match its competitors and being one of the slowest in the group it clearly prioritises comfort over outright speed. The title for the fastest yacht is the Fairline 33 which has a maximum top speed of 48 knots powered by its twin 280hp Volvo Penta V6-240-C engines, this is closely followed by the Jeanneau 33 Pearl 95 with a maximum speed of 30 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.
