AZURE - Azimut Yachts FOR SALE

A timeless 80-foot statement of seagoing elegance, this 2004 model (built in 2003) balances commanding presence with inviting warmth—crafted for owners who value both sophistication and true cruising capability. Lying in the United States and built in robust fiberglass composite with matching fiberglass decks, she offers the reassuring solidity, quiet ride, and low-maintenance finish that discerning yachtsmen expect in a premium motor yacht.

Power comes from twin MTU inboard diesels—renowned for their smooth delivery, reliability, and refined performance. The result is confidently poised handling underway and relaxed, economical passages at displacement speeds. Whether setting a course for a long weekend along the coast or a more ambitious island-hopping itinerary, she delivers a calm, composed experience that keeps conversation flowing and glasses topped.

On deck, generous outdoor spaces invite you to live as much by the horizon as within the yacht’s refined interior. A broad foredeck is perfect for taking in the anchorage, while the aft area transforms effortlessly from casual lounge to elegant alfresco dining under the stars. Wide side decks and substantial railings foster a feeling of safety and ease, and the broad transom makes water access intuitive—just the way it should be when the tender is away and the sea is calling.

Inside, the ambiance is all about light, proportion, and craftsmanship. A bright, expansive salon welcomes with refined joinery and soft furnishings, flowing naturally to a dedicated dining area for evenings when a lingered-over meal is the moment itself. The galley is arranged to please both professional crew and owner-operators, supporting everything from sunrise espressos to multi-course celebrations. Private accommodations provide a serene retreat at day’s end, with a gracious owner’s suite and well-appointed guest staterooms offering ample storage, thoughtful layouts, and the quietly luxurious finishes that make extended stays aboard feel effortless.

At the helm, intuitive ergonomics and clear sightlines reflect the yacht’s purposeful design, while the underlying engineering—twin inboard diesels, composite construction, and carefully managed weight and sound insulation—translates into an experience that’s as composed and confidence-inspiring as it is refined. It’s a yacht built to cruise beautifully and to welcome guests with a sense of occasion, day after day, season after season.

Currently available for inspection in the United States, this 80-footer is equally at home hosting a sunset cocktail party at the dock or slipping away to chase an empty anchorage just beyond the next headland.
