The Azimut 66 Fly - Meeting the challenge of design and technology

by Azimut 2 Jul 2020 20:52 PDT

To be classed an icon is not only a question of image, style or innovative capacity. It's all this and more. To be a true icon means to be recognised as a benchmark, to possess that unerring ability to retain your identity whilst remaining relevant, revered and great throughout the years.

What better example of this than the Azimut 66 Fly? With its impeccable lineage of such bestselling models as the 64 Fly and delving even further back into its ancestry, the mighty 68 Fly, together with its extraordinary onboard liveability, it's little wonder that it is a standout star in the Azimut constellation.

But what sets the Azimut 66 Fly apart from its predecessors is not only its modern, sophisticated design, but its use of cutting-edge technology to deliver a brand-new level of onboard comfort. Born in the era of the Azimut carbon-tech generation, it benefits from the increased space created by intelligent use of carbon, a material that also delivers outstanding stability.

Then there is the EPS electronic helm for easier handling and increased safety at high speeds, together with the integrated monitoring system that puts all the various onboard units and machinery at your fingertips via a control panel that can be accessed from the dashboard or your tablet. Welcome to the future. The Azimut 66 Fly is CE certified A Class for cruising without limits and conforms with the most stringent onboard safety standards required by NMMA certification.
