Owner Experience Review
Owners tend to use the 43SfromAzimut Yachtsas a family sport‑cruiser for weekends and as a social day‑boat. The cockpit, folding patio door, and electric/retractable roof make indoor‑outdoor entertaining easy, and the open salon with large hull windows gives a space that feels larger than the length suggests.
On the water, close‑quarters handling is widely praised thanks to Volvo Penta IPS, which makes tight turns and docking straightforward. Sea‑trial data points to an efficient sweet spot around a 30‑knot cruise with wide‑open throttle in the 33–34‑knot range; reviewers describe the ride as smooth and dry. Some bow rise appears in the midrange but is readily corrected with trim tabs.
Below, the two‑cabin layout provides ensuite heads with enclosed showers; the master’s cedar‑lined locker and overall storage are decent, though limited galley stowage is a recurring note in reviews. One owner reported a persistently sliding portside patio door. Maintenance feedback is mixed: multiple owners document IPS‑related issues (seals, sensors, steering/servo alarms), long repair times, and, in one case, clutch trouble after the sixth season; on the plus side, engine‑room access via multiple hatches is considered good for routine checks.
Pros and Cons
- IPS affords very responsive close‑quarters handling and easy docking.
- Confident performance with an efficient ~30‑knot cruise and ~33–34‑knot top end.
- Airy salon with large hull windows and a retractable sunroof, plus a two‑cabin, two‑head layout with enclosed showers.
- Multiple owner reports of IPS seals, sensors, and steering alarms leading to costly, slow repairs.
- Some midrange bow rise that benefits from trim tab input.
- Limited galley stowage and an owner‑reported sliding portside patio door issue.
