Owner Experience Review
Owners typically use the 68Sfor family cruising and entertaining, taking advantage of its three-cabin plus crew layout and tender garage. Several describe it as a "weekend cruiser," well-suited to short trips when provisioning and appliances are planned around a compact galley. The large square topside windows and the big sliding sunroof make the saloon and master feel bright and open, while the cockpit, wet bar, and fold-down swim platform support easy social time at anchor.
On the water, an expert sea-trial reported the boat "handled as nimbly as you could expect of a boat displacing over 30 tons," with tests and owner notes aligning around a 22–26-knot cruise and a mid-30s top end. Many owners summarize the feel as confident and responsive at typical cruise speeds. In steeper chop, however, some posts note a harsher ride, including the blunt line that it can "pound more than my 13 Whaler."
Ownership feedback is more mixed on upkeep. Forum threads about the Azimut YachtsSport series flag potential hull laminate/coring concerns—"thin skinned" is one owner’s phrase—so buyers emphasize thorough surveys. Brokerage and refit records for used68Sexamples often show heavier service items (cutlass bearings, dripless seals, shaft and prop work, bottom paint) after surveys, and owners also report warranty/service friction and parts lead times from Europe that can extend downtime.
