Ganesh A - Azimut Yachts FOR SALE

Azimut 98 Leonardo

A thrilling union of open-boat adrenaline and superyacht polish, the Azimut 98 Leonardo stands confident, fearless, and unapologetically original. More than a vessel, it’s a statement—an outlook. Created for the independent spirit, this motor yacht is both lively and seductive: bold in character, sharp in design, and relentlessly forward-thinking. In a phrase: avant‑garde.

The sweeping salon sets the stage for effortless living. A retractable flatscreen anchors the entertainment hub, easily seen from the four-seat port settee, the generous eight-person sofa to starboard, or even the dining area—though the 180-degree seascape beyond the sliding glass doors is the real show. Blending indoors and outdoors with flair, the aft‑port bar serves both spaces with ease, while the teak cockpit decking flows forward into the salon to meet the pale Berber carpet, subtly merging textures and zones. Coarse-weave shades lend the feeling of an alfresco terrace, heightened by a gentle breeze drawn through the two‑panel sunroof above the helm.

A sportfly interpretation of the flybridge ethos, this open yacht marries planing‑hull performance with megayacht refinement—a true performance cruiser and luxury superyacht for those who refuse to follow.

Broker remarks

Azimut 98 Leonardo fuses the exhilaration of an open boat with the breeding and refinement of a mega luxury yacht. Strong and proud, it challenges the status quo and breaks the rules; the 98 is an attitude, a frame of mind—spirited and sensual, bold and cutting‑edge. For the independent soul, the 98 Leonardo is, in a word, avant‑garde.

Its wide‑open saloon invites effortless living: a retractable flat‑screen television in the entertainment center is visible from virtually anywhere on this level, from the four‑person port‑side couch to the eight‑person couch to starboard, and even from the dining table—though the 180‑degree panorama, with the sliding door open or closed, is a compelling rival to any screen. Seamlessly blending inside with out, the bar sits aft and to port in the saloon to serve guests in both spaces. The teak cockpit sole flows forward into the saloon, meeting an ivory Berber carpet midway to artfully blur the boundaries, while coarse‑fabric shades lend the ambiance of an outdoor patio, especially when a gentle breeze drifts through the two‑panel sunroof over the helm.
