Azimut Atlantis 45 Review (2020 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

Nick begins the tour by examining the exterior of the yacht. He explains that the sleek profile of the Azimut Atlantis 45 is due to it being a sports cruiser. He highlights the anti-fouling paint which prevents the yacht from getting 'weeded up', the bow thruster for easier docking, and the IPS drives by Volvo Penta at the back which swivel independently to aid maneuverability.

Once on board, the style and sleekness of the Azimut Atlantis 45 is admired. There is a hi-lo bathing platform which can carry a jet ski. He also showcases the tender garage that can store a small rib. The Italian styling is showcased, particularly the upholstery and the high-gloss wood on the table. He also mentions the wet bar with a grill and sink, and the top-loading fridge.

The helm station and lounging area are praised for its design which provides ample headroom in the mid-cabin. The twin bucket seats and the all-glass cockpit that displays engine instrumentation and navigation information are all appreciated. He also demonstrates the joystick control that dictates the movement of the pods underneath the yacht, and the bow thruster control.

There is a contemporary color scheme and a large seating area in the lower deck. The galley, storage areas, the electric cooking facilities by Miele, and the fridge and freezer are showcased. He is pleased with the master cabin, particularly its size and storage spaces and ensuite. 

In the mid-cabin, the benefit of the raised section in providing lots of headroom is highlighted, making it feel spacious. There are three beds and large windows, along with additional storage spaces. He is very impressed with this cabin, calling it 'excellent' for a 45-foot sports cruiser.

In the engine bay, the yacht has a pair of Volvo Penta D6 IPS-650 engines, each with 480 horsepower, and the top speed is estimated to be in the mid-30s. There is easy access to fuel filters and the fire extinguishing system.

Throughout the video, Nick repeatedly praises the Azimut Atlantis 45 for its design, space, and features.
