Azimut 66 Flybridge: celebrating an icon

by Azimut Yachts 3 Mar 2021 06:21 PST

A perfect mix of function and form, materials and thrills, the Azimut 66 has rapidly established itself as an iconic model in the 60 - to 70 - foot flybridge category.

Its sleek lines bearing the unmistakable Azimut style and its innovative multi-tier layout have seen it quickly embraced by the market, with over 100 units sold.

What is behind its resounding success? Could it be the smart use of interior and exterior spaces, designed to deliver fantastic onboard liveability for owners and guests?

Maybe it's the many different entertainment zones strategically scattered across the boat, such as an American bar positioned forward of the galley or the flydeck with three separate areas including a lounge tantalisingly suspended between sea and sky.

Is it the fourth cabin or is it simply the Made in Italy flair of its design and décor featuring elegant wood, glass and polished surfaces?

The secret may even lie in its high-tech DNA, with features such as the use of carbon fibre in the highest parts, SeaStar electronic power steering and an integrated control and monitoring system by Raymarine.

It's hard to identify just what it is, but the heady milestone of 100 makes it clear that the Azimut 66 Flybridge has that indefinable quality called the X factor.
