Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to use the 40SfromAzimut Yachtsas a family weekender and a day‑cruiser for entertaining in city marinas. The two‑cabin, two‑ensuite layout and a saloon‑plus‑cockpit social zone make hosting straightforward, while a galley‑down arrangement suits short trips. Reviewers note that the saloon feels unusually smart and plush for a sportscruiser, and the large windows with an opening sunroof keep the interior bright and airy.
Under way, testers have praised the 40Sfor its “startling” hull ride, with typical reports of a 28–30‑knot cruise and a 32–35‑knot top end depending on load and engine spec. Joystick docking (Xenta) earns consistent praise for tight‑space maneuvering, and many examples run twin Cummins QSB 5.9 diesels around 480 hp each, a common platform that simplifies routine service.
Ownership feedback includes some caveats. Forum posts mention unfinished fiberglass in the bilges on certain boats, and several owners describe warranty friction and slow resolution in disputes. When specialized parts must come from Europe, lead times can stretch, so planning maintenance windows is advisable.

- Two cabins and two ensuite heads plus a plush, airy saloon suit family weekends and entertaining.
- Reports of unfinished fiberglass in the bilges on some boats.
