Sunset 8 - Azimut Yachts FOR SALE

2024 80' Performance Motor Yacht — United States

A statement of modern Italian design and offshore confidence, this brand-new 2024 80-foot luxury motor yacht blends exhilarating performance with a serene, light-filled living experience. Conceived by P.L. AUSONIO Naval Architecture in concert with the Azimut R&D Department, her deep‑V hull and advanced fiberglass composite construction deliver a rare balance of speed, efficiency, and seakeeping, while Francesco Guida’s interior sets an elegant, contemporary mood that feels both tailored and timeless.

Driven by triple Volvo inboard diesels, she surges to a spirited 34 knots and settles into a refined 28-knot fast cruise—an effortless stride that makes weekend escapes or multi-stop coastal itineraries equally inviting. The 18-foot beam grants impressive volume, while the thoughtful hull form and construction keep the ride poised and composed. With 1,057 gallons of fuel and 291 gallons of fresh water, her tankage supports adventure without sacrificing comfort. A draft of 18.865 feet reflects a purposeful, tracking stance offshore and underscores her deep-V pedigree.

Step inside to a salon that celebrates light and perspective: expansive glazing, crisp architectural lines, and a soothing palette arranged by Guida create a penthouse-at-sea ambiance. Social zones flow naturally—from a lounge-forward conversation area to an elegant dining setting—framed by craft-quality joinery and refined textures underfoot. The galley is positioned for effortless service, equally at home hosting a formal dinner or a relaxed brunch at anchor.

Accommodations are designed for true hospitality: eight guests are welcomed across a quartet of tranquil staterooms, complemented by four beautifully finished heads. The full-beam owner’s space is a retreat unto itself, with generous storage and spa-inspired detailing, while the VIP and guest cabins offer the same hallmark of quiet luxury. Two dedicated crew cabins for a professional crew of two ensure discreet, first-class service and smooth operations throughout every passage.

On deck, broad walkways, secure sightlines, and clean, sculptural fiberglass surfaces make movement intuitive and safe, whether underway or at anchor. The aft terrace invites alfresco living—a natural extension of the salon ideal for long, sunset-lit dinners—while the generous platform brings the water within effortless reach. Everywhere you look, design intelligence supports ease of use, from boarding to line handling to the daily rituals of life aboard.

The engineering pedigree of P.L. AUSONIO and Azimut’s R&D is evident in the yacht’s quiet ride, balanced weight distribution, and reassuring helm feel. Triple inboard diesel power by Volvo emphasizes reliability, responsiveness, and refined acoustics, while the deep‑V hull turns sea miles into a playful invitation rather than a passage to be endured.

For the owner seeking a fresh, 2024 build located in the United States—one that fuses sport-yacht performance with true motor‑yacht comfort—this 80-footer stands out as a sophisticated, ready-now answer. She is as compelling on a fast coastal sprint as she is at anchor with friends and family, delivering the rare luxury of arriving with energy to spare.

Azimut S8

Step aboard the immaculate 2024 Azimut S8 and experience the perfect fusion of Italian styling and high‑performance luxury. Located in Miami, Florida and loaded with premium factory and custom upgrades, this late‑model S8 is powered by triple Volvo IPS 1350s to deliver exhilarating performance, whisper‑quiet refinement, and effortless joystick maneuvering. Sleek, fast, and purpose‑built for entertaining, she is turnkey and ready for summer cruising.

A Seakeeper 18 gyro stabilizer transforms life at anchor and underway with dramatically reduced roll, so every conversation, cocktail, and sunset feels composed and unruffled.

Evenings are cinematic, with transom and side underwater lights creating a luminous halo that both enchants guests and improves waterside visibility at night. A custom al fresco dining table brings grace and practicality together in the open air, surrounded by plush lounges that convert to sunpads for languid afternoons and late‑night conversations under the stars.

Displayed in Miami with immediate showings available, this S8 presents a rare opportunity to step straight into a better yachting life. The motivated owner will consider late‑model trades, making your transition into Azimut sophistication as seamless as your first departure.

Options

Specified with a comprehensive suite of base and upgraded options, this S8 has been curated to elevate every moment on board. The custom cockpit sets the tone for entertaining, complemented by a cockpit docking and maneuvering station for fingertip control. Extra conduits future‑proof the yacht for additional equipment, while the Seakeeper stabilizer 18, the upgraded Naviop monitoring package, and an electric searchlight with an additional control (including a dedicated extra control for the electric searchlight) deliver composure, intelligence, and confidence day and night. Practical touches abound: a cord reel for motorized shore power streamlines hookups; fresh‑water connection is on hand; and additional waterproof sockets are thoughtfully placed inside the storage beneath the stairs to the flybridge and within the port‑side step locker.

Sun lounging and open‑air living are richly realized with aft sunbathing cushions featuring adjustable backrests, a backrest for bow sunbathing cushions on the flybridge, a bimini on the flybridge, and a co‑pilot seat on the fly for shared navigation. Flybridge furniture upgrades bring a sink, BBQ, and icemaker together for effortless hospitality, while a convenient hatch on the flybridge enhances access and airflow. The garage door features a fitted cover with logo, and an electric blackout blind for the main‑deck glass roof tempers the Florida sun at the touch of a button.

Watersports are simplified by dedicated hauling and launching systems for both the jet ski and the tender. The bow becomes a private lounge with hidden lights, a luxury exterior lighting package, maneuvering lights on the bow, and a sunshade sail with removable poles for the lounging area. Comfort continues with sunbathing cushions on the bow with adjustable backrests, a carbon‑finish bow table, and premium teak laid on the flybridge deck and bow area. A telescopic gangway ensures graceful boarding, while a removable aft shower adds beach‑club convenience. The aft flybridge welcomes guests with a sofa in Batyline fabric paired to a hi/lo table convertible into a generous sunbed; additional spotlights on the aft flybridge extend the evening mood. Underwater lights on the sides and on the transom create a striking nocturnal signature, and the exterior standard cushions are upgraded in Batyline fabric for durability and feel.

Underway and at anchor, performance and protection are refined with a painted hull and gunwale, a painted radar mast and instruments, painted domes, a painted flybridge perimeter, an island volcanic grey profile and bow handrail, and PropSpeed applied to the propulsion system. Precision handling is supported by a watertight hand control for the anchor winch. On the interior, thoughtful flexibility includes an additional folding bed in the crew cabin and another in the starboard guest cabin, as well as additional sockets in the saloon behind the starboard‑side sofa and on the port side, ensuring power is exactly where you need it.

The electrical system is engineered for global cruising with shore‑powered supply, a DC electric panel and AC electric panel mounted on the forward engine‑room bulkhead, an auxiliary panel beneath the lower‑deck stair landing, an emergency control panel at the internal helm, and a cockpit‑located battery cut‑out/emergency/fire‑extinguishing control panel. Dimmers serve lighting in cockpit and saloon, with junction boxes distributed throughout.

Onboard voltages support alternate current systems at 230 V – 50 Hz single phase (Europe) and 120/240 V – 60 Hz single phase (America), and direct current systems at 24 V DC and 12 V DC from battery sets, with a 12 V DC circuit also supported via an AC/DC voltage reducer. Power sources include the current generator, shore sockets, and batteries with charging systems. Galvanic protection is ensured by zinc anodes and Volvo ACP (Active Corrosion Protection system).

The current generator is a single‑phase 27 kW unit (28 kW from serial no. 016) at 230 V – 50 Hz AC for the EU system, resilient‑mounted on silent‑blocks in the engine room, encased in a soundproofing box with remote start.

Shore connections in standard 50 Hz configuration comprise two single‑phase 240 V AC 50 A shore sockets located on the transom, each protected by a power circuit breaker.

Fuel is carried in a 4000 l (1056.7 US.liq.gal.) structural GRP tank set centrally and longitudinally forward of the engine‑room bulkhead, monitored by two continuous‑reading electronic diesel level sensors (fore and aft ends), with indications at both the internal wheelhouse and flybridge helm, plus a local electronic sensor with built‑in display (aft end of the tank). Filtration includes three dual settling filters for the engines and one for the generator set; ventilation is via five breathers. Remote shut‑off is enabled through three 24 V solenoid valves for the engines and one 12 V solenoid valve for the generator. Refueling plugs sit on each side deck.

Fresh water capacity is 1100 l (290.6 US.liq.gal.) in a forward tank under the fore tray near the cabin corridor, vented and filled via a cap at the forward port side deck. A stern shore power socket lies to port. Hot and cold fresh water is distributed by a pressure‑pump network or via a shore connection; the pressure unit in the crew area runs on dual supply (230 V AC – 50/60 Hz and 24 V DC) with electronic control. Domestic hot water comes from a 100 l (26.4 US.liq.gal.) water heater beneath the tray near the cabin corridor with a thermostatic mixer. A 24 V electronic level sensor with helm gauge and level alarm manages tank monitoring. The system can be isolated by ACORN manifolds and is prepped for a desalination unit. Fresh water serves toilet flushing and the windscreen wiper washer.

Black water is handled by a 450 l (118.9 US.liq.gal.) plastic tank under the forward tray, with a 24 V electronic level sensor, helm gauge, and level alarm. Tank emptying is via motor pump with automatic/manual control from the wheelhouse, supported by a macerator pump. A shore suction point is provided on the starboard side deck. All toilet discharges feed the tank through anti‑odor hoses, with a TECMA toilet installation, two anti‑odor filters, dual vents, and a tank‑wash system.

Gray water is collected in a 450 l (118.9 US.liq.gal.) plastic tank under the forward tray, with a 24 V electronic level sensor, helm gauge, and level alarm, automatic/manual emptying by motor pump, and a macerator pump. Two gray‑water collection trays enable automatic transfer between the utility and main tank. All discharges run through hoses; anti‑odor filtration and a single tank vent are fitted. The cockpit sink drains directly overboard.

Engine raw‑water cooling uses a 4‑in circuit per engine with a dedicated seawater intake, anti‑block flanged valve, seawater filter, and a valve with basket for emergency bilge suction. The generator cooling system runs on a 1½‑in circuit with a dedicated intake, valve, and filter. Air‑conditioning cooling likewise uses a 1½‑in circuit with its own intake, valve, and filter.

The air‑conditioning plant is a chilled‑water system with fan‑coil units distributed throughout, powered by a compressor group in the engine room rated at 144,000 BTU/h. One seawater pump and one fresh‑water circulation pump support the loop, fed through a 1½‑in seawater intake with filter and valve. Each area carries its own A/C control panel. Fan‑coil capacities include: owner’s cabin two units at 9,200 BTU each; VIP cabin one at 12,500 BTU; port guest cabin one at 9,200 BTU; starboard guest cabin one at 9,200 BTU; crew area two at 6,200 BTU; saloon one at 18,000 BTU, one at 12,500 BTU, and two at 9,200 BTU; wheelhouse windscreen two at 18,000 BTU; wheelhouse one at 6,200 BTU; and galley one at 9,200 BTU.
