Owner Experience Review

Owners and crews value the versatility of the Azimut 72 FlybridgefromAzimut Yachtsfor family cruising and owner-run weekends. The large flybridge and foredeck lounge see constant use, and the common four-cabin, four-head layouts with a full-beam owner’s suite handle guests well. The model appears frequently in Mediterranean charter listings. Across generations (Gen1 ~2015–2020, Gen2 ~2021–2023, Gen3/Fly 72 announced 2023), the concept has stayed consistent while evolving in detail.

On the water, expert tests report that it “didn’t feel in the least bit ponderous or top heavy” in chop, with typical performance cited around a 26-knot cruise and 31–33-knot top speed depending on engines. Reviews credit resin-infusion and a carbon flybridge for keeping weight down and aiding handling, and at least one owner described a week in the Bahamas as “wonderful.” That said, several experienced owners and technicians caution that it’s “not a super sea worthy boat” in heavier conditions, and inconsistent build details on some examples can undermine confidence offshore.

Comfort and ergonomics draw praise—especially the expansive flybridge, foredeck lounge, and practical interior detailing—yet owner reports highlight variability in fit-and-finish between boats. Some have cited defects as stark as ceiling panels hanging and lights falling out. Recurring maintenance themes include electrical/wiring inconsistencies, air‑conditioning failures, and corrosion or leaks at hydraulic swim‑platform rams. U.S. owners in particular mention slow parts/service and warranty friction (one reported over $500,000 in day-one warranty repairs). While engine-room layouts are generally logical, non‑standard wiring and mixed components can complicate troubleshooting and add labor; more broadly, 70–75ft flybridge maintenance costs and parts lead times are substantial, so a thorough survey and a clear support plan are prudent.

Pros and Cons

• Expansive flybridge and foredeck, among the largest in class, deliver excellent alfresco living.
• Family-friendly 4-cabin/4-head layouts with a full-beam owner’s suite suit guests and longer stays.
• Owner-operator friendly with joystick/thrusters; capable 26-knot cruise and 31–33-knot top with weight-saving construction aiding handling.
• Inconsistent fit-and-finish between hulls, with reports of ceiling panels and lights failing on some boats.
• Recurring system issues noted: wiring inconsistencies, A/C failures, and hydraulic swim-platform ram corrosion/leaks.
• Parts/warranty delays and high upkeep costs for this size class; one owner reported major day-one warranty repairs.
