Overview
2015 Azimut 55S OPEN - Stunning Yacht!
Personality that gets noticed: the main deck is truly unique thanks to its hallmark large glass door. The interiors and exteriors share a common design palette and detailing: teak flooring, sofas, and cushions. Class, inside and out.
Azimut’s styling is unmistakable and it is delivered with such confidence, especially in the S-class range. Look at those angles, the bold, reflective window shapes, that steely “Miami Silver” hull paint. And the bow, snub-nosed in profile, an axe-blade edge. Even the detailing seems daring.
There is plenty going on behind the look-at-me exterior, though. The 55S is about as high-tech as production yachts get, with a superstructure made almost entirely of carbon fiber. She has Volvo Penta’s IPS pod drives, and all the computer wizardry that goes with them. And she has three engines. This one fact tends to overshadow every other aspect of this beautifully appointed cruising yacht, with her zebrano veneers and lush leathers, immaculate finish and excellent interior design.
Step aboard the Azimut 55S. It is in the master cabin that the extra hull volume made available by the shorter engine compartment has really been put to work. It is an L-shaped suite, with a good-size head and shower compartment offset on the port side, which allows the sleeping area to span the full beam of the hull. A big berth (6 feet 5 inches by 5 feet 4 inches) is set on the diagonal, while there is an expanse of floor space and a genuinely useful two-seat dinette to port, by the window. What a great spot for a breakfast in the morning. There is also plenty of stowage, including a large hanging locker and a vast space under the bed, which lifts up on gas struts. Headroom is a reasonable 6 feet 3 inches.The VIP stateroom has something of the feel of an amidships suite, with substantial hull windows, a full-size bed, 6 feet 7 inches of headroom, and two useful hanging lockers.
