      @joshuachapman8641 Před 3 lety +2

      Have to disagree here! no Sunseeker would give you manual windows, and a manually opening hard top section, nor would they only teak half a flybridge lol, and the headroom on this boat and the size of the engine room is just not good at all, watch their vid on the new Manhattan 55, definitely a fair comparison.

    Thanks. Good Review. There are always compromises in a boat design ,of course. .. but ...for me they have sacrificed too much space in the engine room to get the larger master cabin forward and the lazarette/ crew cabin space aft....Getting to the inner, let alone the outer sides of the engines for maintenance looks very difficult, particularly with the other kit (generator) crammed in the same space. Engine access is a high priority for me. I think with Azimut, style has a higher priority than practicality.

    Love hearing the prices on these. Makes you dream/target goals. Would be great if you can say this is 950k but this one with these extras is X amount. Think it’d be interesting to hear that as I’ve heard you can basically add a 3rd/half again to get it specc’d as you’d like.

    The sound quality is much better, I think that the build quality is great, but think that the layout is a bit strange, i would have put the cutlery under the helm seats as that is much closer to kitchen, love the facilities in terms of freezer etc. The master seems compromised in terms of head room. I would have liked to have seen the bow of the boat and had a walk round. Not a boat for me, but non the less a lovely tour

    Not sure I'd call a boat that is over $1.3M USD "entry level", maybe for an Azimut although I'd rather go with a Silent-Yacht.
    Coffee cups? Those are more like shot glasses!
    More living space in the boat than I expected to be honest, I'm going to guess the SeaKeeper is going into the lazarette since there's NO room in the engine compartment LOL
    If you think about it a moment, the freezer and washer dryer really _couldn't_ go anywhere else. And there isn't a whole hell of a lot that could have been done with that space anyway.
    I believe that the Volvo joystick system is available on almost ALL new boats built with the Penta engines, IPS or not.
    Nicely done walk-through sir!

    You're getting much better at this Hugo, good indepth tour, just think Azimut need to think things through a little more, engine room is too cramped, headroom is a little lacking which means beds are low and therefore no storage beneath and a sliding door at the helm would be good.

    I don't know the price differences between this and sizes similar compared to Sunseeker, Fairline or Princess but they just always seem much more luxurious.
    The cockpit on this yacht looks cheap for that kind of money. I guess it's basic but from other boat reviews of similar size I think the other manufacturers go that little bit further with detail on what's on offer. The teak tables look plain too with no detailing.
    Not a fan of the headroom either in the cabins but hey, it's just my opinion as a boat enthusiast.
    It all seems just a bit too basic for just short a million pounds for 50ft worth of boat.
    Loving the videos as always!

      I didn't hear him say it either. I rather like Nicks reviews/tours a bit better for the technical side of things. According to the Azimut website, with the pair of 725hp Penta engines it will max out at 32kn and cruise at 26 kn. Should have a range of well over 400nm at cruise (581USG/2,200l of fuel).
