$30M of Azimut at Sydney Boat Show

Azimut: the ultimate eye candy Atlantic Motor Yachts Michael Boon http://www.atlanticmotoryachts.com.au
There’s an old saying that if you have to ask the price, you can’t afford it!
I’m not asking the price and I just know, however sadly, that Azimut and my bank balance don’t see eye to eye.

Sydney headquartered Atlantic Motor Yachts, Australian distributor of the fabulous Azimut range, together with the legendary Grand Banks, will be unveiling an astonishing array at the 2007 Sydney International Boat Show (August 2-7).

There will be seven luxurious Azimut motor yachts headlining Atlantic Motor Yachts’ display on the Cockle Bay Marina at the show, comprising two 43-footers, a 50’, a 62’, a 68’, a 75’ and, wait for it….an awesome 105’.

Prior to the show Atlantic Motor Yachts is keeping individual retail prices to itself, but we know for a fact that if one was in the market for all seven the asking price would exceed $30 million!

Two of the imposing craft, the 75’ and the 105’, will be making their Australian debut.


Just listing some of the specifications of these magical motor yachts stuns the senses; the Azimut 105’ tips the scales at 122 tonnes.

She is powered by dual MTU marine diesels each pumping out 2216 horsepower and can sprint to an amazing 28 knots top speed.

Don’t be caught behind her in a queue at the marina fuel pump; the Azimut 105’ carries 16,400-litres of fuel and 2500-litres of fresh water.

She boasts five sumptuous cabins for up to eight guests, plus crew quarters.

The equally impressive, if somewhat smaller Azimut 75’, is a stunning 55-tonner powered by a pair of MAN marine diesels each generating 1360 horsepower.

Her smaller dimensions allow her to sprint to 30 knots!

She carries 6000-litres of fuel and 1150-litres of fresh water.


Two of Italy’s most respected designers have been responsible for the two craft, with Stefano Righini creating the exterior designs and concept, and Carlo Galeazzi lending his style and flair to the fabulous interiors.


The opportunity to have a close up look at these astonishing vessels at the Sydney International will alone be worth the price of admission.

As for me, well, I'm still trying to come to terms with just seven boats costing more than $30 million!
