Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the 55 SfromAzimut Yachtsfor weekend leisure and family coastal cruising, with many examples also appearing in short-term private charters. Underway, test numbers and owner feedback point to a brisk mid‑20‑knot cruise—around 23–24 knots at roughly 2,000 rpm—with responsive turn‑in for a 55‑foot sport yacht. The profile favors sportiness, and several reviewers note it can run a bit wet in chop.
On board, the full‑beam master is widely praised for light and layout, and the three‑cabin, two‑head arrangement is comfortable for six. Styling earns compliments for its chic look, though forum posts describe variable fit‑and‑finish, including trim held with snaps or Velcro. Extended cruising or liveaboard is achievable, but the forepeak/crew berth is tight and dedicated crew space is limited.
Ownership notes tend to focus on serviceability and systems: some routine‑service points are hard to access, and owners and technicians discuss electrical gremlins and under‑spec’d components that require post‑delivery troubleshooting. Forum threads also recount occasional transmission or engine‑sensor warnings and vibration at certain RPMs; separately, there are discussions about hull defects on some earlier 55‑foot models from Azimut Yachtsand subsequent warranty remediation.
Pros and Cons
- Brisk performance and responsive handling with an easy mid‑20‑knot cruise around 23–24 knots at ~2,000 rpm.
- Full‑beam master and 3‑cabin/2‑head layout comfortably accommodate six, with chic interior styling.
- Well‑suited to weekend family coastal cruising and short‑term charters, with extended trips possible for owners who can forgo dedicated crew space.
- The forepeak/crew berth is cramped and dedicated crew space is limited for longer liveaboard use.
- The sportier profile can deliver a wetter ride in chop.
- Owners report variable fit‑and‑finish, tight service access, and occasional electrical gremlins or sensor warnings.
