Owner Experience Review
Owners of Azimut 85fromAzimut Yachtscommonly use the yacht for weeklong family runs to the Bahamas and Keys, owner-operated weekend leisure, and as a mothership supporting 40–45' center‑console dayboats. On the water it has an unflappable, steady demeanor on flat water, with a comfortable cruise in the mid‑20‑knot range. Acceleration isn’t sporty—significant top weight and the large superstructure make it feel deliberate rather than lively—but the ride is confidence‑inspiring.
Onboard, the experience is defined by panoramic windows and a bright main saloon, expansive flybridge lounging, and, when fitted, foredeck seating or a hot‑tub that enhances social time at anchor. Owners who choose the owner‑layout highlight the full‑beam midship master for privacy and livability on longer trips, and many note that accommodations stay notably quiet underway thanks to good sound insulation.
The ownership picture does demand attention to service planning. Several U.S.-based owners report factory support to be minimal, with reliance on brokers and third‑party technicians. Recurring topics include stern automation door failures (a safety/ergonomic concern), electrical and control‑system quirks, and variable fit‑and‑finish; combined with extensive systems and sometimes tight machinery access, repairs can be costly and time‑consuming, making a thorough survey and experienced service team essential.
Pros and Cons
- Steady, confidence‑inspiring ride with a comfortable mid‑20‑knot cruise.
- Quiet accommodations and effective sound insulation at speed.
- Panoramic saloon, large flybridge, and optional foredeck amenities suit family trips and entertaining.
- Heavy superstructure and top weight make it slower to accelerate and not a sporty handler.
- Owner‑reported stern automation door issues present a safety and ergonomic concern.
- U.S. factory aftersales support is reported as weak; complex systems and access can make maintenance costly and slow.
