Construction

Hand-built with a fiberglass hull and superstructure and finished with teak-laid decks, this flybridge motor yacht offers a robust, low-maintenance platform for luxury cruising and family voyaging.

Dimensions

Proportions are ideal for a planing flybridge yacht: length overall is 68.83 feet (20.98 meters) with a waterline length of 66.50 feet (20.27 meters), a molded beam of 17.17 feet (5.24 meters), and a loaded draft of 5.25 feet (1.60 meters). She is 64 gross tons with a displacement of 86,700 lbs. Capacities support extended cruising: fuel 977 US gallons (3,700 liters), fresh water 264 US gallons (1,000 liters), black water 87 US gallons (329 liters), and grey water 52 US gallons (196 liters). Performance is confident and efficient, reaching a maximum of 32.0 knots at 2,800 rpm with consumption of 77 US gallons per hour for a 300‑nautical‑mile range; a comfortable cruise of 23.0 knots at 2,100 rpm burns 51 US gallons per hour for about 460 nautical miles; and an economical 14.0‑knot setting at 1,200 rpm uses 30 US gallons per hour to deliver roughly 520 nautical miles.

Machinery

With less than 375 engine hours, propulsion comes from twin Volvo Penta IPS D13 diesels rated at 1,000 hp each, paired with Volvo integrated gearboxes and pod drive for precise handling typical of IPS motor yachts. NiBral contra‑rotating propellers feature three‑ and four‑blade sets for optimal thrust. Power systems are equally robust: a Kohler 21EKOZD generator delivers 120/240V, 21 kW, 88 amps, sipping about 1 US gallon per hour. Shore power is via two 125/250V, 50‑amp inlets with two Glendinning cables, supported by a Victron Energy 24/120V, 3,000‑watt inverter. The battery suite was renewed in June 2025: one Deka 12V AGM Group 31 for generator start, six Deka 12V AGM Group 31 for house service, and four Deka 12V AGM Group 31 for engine start, complemented by Quick chargers (12V/12A and 24V/80A), a Newmar 50‑amp DC converter, and four remote solenoid battery switches. Climate control is by Dometic with 96,000 BTU of cooling. Running gear includes Volvo Penta electronic blade‑style trim tabs (34"), a Seakeeper 18 gyro stabilizer new in July 2025, and a Side‑Power 24V electric bow thruster with twin five‑blade propellers in a nine‑inch tube, all managed with intuitive joystick steering. Fuel is polished through Racor R12T primaries with OEM secondaries and an electric fuel pump. The sanitation system includes a macerator and Feit 24V overboard discharge pumps with dockside pump‑out, while freshwater service adds inline filtration, a Gianneschi 24V pump, and a Quick 20‑gallon, 230V water heater—an ideal specification set for a bluewater‑capable flybridge motor yacht.

Communication, navigation & entertainment systems

Clear communication is provided by Garmin VHF units, with a GHS 11 at the flybridge upper helm and a VHF 315 at the pilothouse lower helm, while onboard internet is handled by Starlink new in 2025. The navigation suite centers on Garmin: a 72‑mile radar, a four‑inch Ritchie magnetic compass, and an autopilot comprising the Garmin Reactor 40 with a GHC20 display. Two Garmin GPSMAP 8616xSV multifunction displays deliver GPS, chart plotting, depth sounding, speed logging, fishfinding, and seawater temperature—everything a modern flybridge motor yacht requires. Entertainment is equally thoughtful: Samsung Smart TVs include a 43‑inch screen on a powered lift in the salon, a 32‑inch on a powered lift in the master, 27‑inch sets in the guest staterooms, and a 24‑inch in the crew cabin. Audio comes via a Fusion system with BT/SAT/AUX/Tuner zones on the flybridge, foredeck, and aft deck, complemented by Bose sound bars in the forward guest and master staterooms.

Galley & laundry equipment

The aft galley is appointed for effortless cruising life, featuring a Miele four‑burner induction cooktop, Miele oven, Miele microwave/convection oven, and a powered Broan ventilation hood. Cold storage includes a Vitrifrigo refrigerator and freezer plus a Vitrifrigo wine cooler, with cleanup handled by a Miele dishwasher. For open‑air entertaining, the flybridge adds a Kenyon single‑burner electric grill, an Isotherm refrigerator with freezer, and two icemakers—one on the flybridge and another on the aft deck—creating a true wet‑bar experience on a flybridge cruising yacht. Laundry needs are covered by a Miele washer and Miele dryer.

Deck equipment

Ground tackle is handled by an ITALWINCH vertical electric windlass with local and remote controls, supported by two ITALWINCH electric capstans on the aft deck. A new 2025 stainless‑steel anchor is paired with three hundred feet of galvanized chain. Dockside gear includes four medium traditional fenders and eight braided‑nylon docking lines. Boarding and water access are easy via an Opacmare passerelle in stainless steel and teak, hydraulic with a safe working load of 150 kg, and an Opacmare swim platform in fiberglass with a teak overlay. Up top, a molded fiberglass hardtop with a powered sunroof is complemented by a bimini/sunshade—smart details befitting a teak‑decked flybridge motor yacht.

Security, fire fighting & safety equipment

Security is supported by a CCTV system with three cameras networked through nxc. Fire protection features a Sea‑Fire FK‑5‑1‑12 clean‑agent system, five type B:C size‑one portable extinguishers, helm‑station alarms, and smoke detectors in the accommodation spaces. Safety inventory is complete: one throwable cushion, one life ring, Type I life jackets comprising eleven adult and one child units, Type III life jackets numbering six adult units, plus flares including three red handheld and two orange handheld signals, four cartridges and one gun, along with a well‑stocked first‑aid kit—peace of mind for a family cruising motor yacht.

Accommodations

Step aboard this 2023 68‑foot Azimut flybridge motor yacht and you’ll find Italian style paired with real cruising purpose. The aft‑galley configuration maximizes volume and flow: a welcoming salon with plush lounge seating, a refined dining area for casual or formal meals, and a pop‑up TV for movie nights. The forward helm enjoys excellent sightlines and a handy side door. Above, the expansive flybridge is the social heart of the yacht, with a fully equipped wet bar including a grill and two refrigerators; the molded hardtop features an electric moon/sunroof so you can set the shade just right—perfect for sun‑lounging by day and relaxed cocktail gatherings by night. Below, the full‑beam owner’s suite is a private retreat with an ensuite, a crossways berth, generous wardrobe space, and large hull windows that bathe the room in natural light. Guests are equally at ease: the forward VIP offers a comfortable double berth, ample storage, and a private ensuite, while two additional guest cabins provide flexibility—one with two twin beds and another with a clever crossover bunk arrangement to optimize space. Discreet crew quarters include two berths, a dedicated head and shower, and a crew refrigerator, ensuring professional service or extra overflow for family cruising.

2025 upgrades / works completed

The 2025 program sharpened this yacht in all the right places: a full bottom job with running gear service, six new underwater lights, and two forward midship cleats were added. Custom backing plates were fabricated for towing a tender from the stern cleats, while both the swim platform cleats and the bow sunshade awning poles were reinforced. The engine‑room bilge was painted, a new Seakeeper was installed, and the polished stainless‑steel anchor was upgraded. Engine‑room floor plates were powder coated, and the interior gained a custom matching salon table and coffee table with tailored covers. Connectivity improved with new Starlink, all batteries were renewed in June 2025, and the yacht was thoroughly buffed and polished—an appealing refresh for a ready‑to‑go flybridge cruising yacht.
