Azimut Fly 68 Review (2024 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The Azimut 68 Fly has a sleek, Italian design, characterized by its near-vertical bow and stylish window line. These features contribute to the yacht's elegant and voluminous appearance. The yacht's exterior has robust stainless-steel work and a lift platform, capable of holding a Williams SportJet 345 tender.

The flybridge is one of the yacht's most generous spaces. It includes covered seating to protect against the elements, a dining area, and a raised sunbathing section for relaxation. The flybridge is protected by a hardtop, and there is a sunshade that can extend to provide additional cover. 

Inside, the Azimut 68 Fly is described as cheerful and spacious, with a light color scheme that adds to its openness. The main deck features a large dinette with ample storage, pop-up TV, a galley aft layout, and the option to reposition it to the center. The interior finishings include a twin-tone ceiling and stainless-steel accents, showcasing Italian craftsmanship.  

The helm is equipped with comfortable bucket seats and a side access door for convenience. The modern console features twin Garmin screens for navigation and engine instrumentation, showcasing a sleek metallic grey finish. There are proper buttons for essential controls, and an IPS joystick and bow thruster.

Owner's Cabin

The owner's cabin is luxurious, offering a crossways bed layout that maximizes floor space. The cabin features a blend of soft carpet and durable surfaces, a designer ceiling, and integrated air conditioning vents. It includes a dressing area and an ensuite bathroom with a pocket door for privacy. The sophisticated design and thoughtful amenities make it a standout space on the yacht.

Guest Accommodation

The lower deck houses four cabins, including the VIP guest cabin at the bow. This cabin showcases attention to detail with curved woodwork, hull windows, and an emergency escape hatch. It also features an ensuite bathroom. Cabins three and four offer clever design solutions, such as crossover beds in cabin four, which maximize storage space.

Crew Accommodation

The crew cabin is suitable for occasional use, accommodating two beds, a fridge, and a bathroom. While not intended for permanent crew, it serves as an overflow space for short-term crew or guests, meeting the expectations for a sub-70-foot yacht.

The Azimut 68 Fly is powered by Volvo Penta IPS1350 engines, each delivering 1,000hp and enabling a top speed of 32 knots, cruising between 20-25 knots and a range of 300nm. The engines are positioned for optimal weight distribution, and the fuel tanks are strategically placed to enhance performance and noise reduction. The generator and Seakeeper placement contribute to the yacht's overall comfort and efficiency.

Nick is thoroughly impressed with the Azimut 68 Fly, praising its elegant design, smart use of space, and luxurious features. He highlights the yacht's Italian craftsmanship, modern technology, and practical layout, making it an attractive option for owner-operators or occasional crew use. The yacht's combination of style, comfort, and performance makes it a compelling choice for potential buyers.
