Owner Experience Review
Owners of the 55SfromAzimut Yachtstend to use it for weekending and coastal cruising, with frequent family day trips and social gatherings thanks to the open saloon‑to‑cockpit layout. At the helm it feels lively and responsive, with a comfortable cruise in the low-to-mid 20-knot range and reported top speeds around 34–36 knots. Owner-operators find day trips and short passages manageable, though many recommend an experienced helmsman in tight marinas. Some report cruising at about 22 knots on two of the three engines at roughly 110 liters per hour, and the saloon is notably quiet when the roof and doors are closed.
Below, three cabins amidships make practical use of the volume; the VIP is described as unusually roomy with large hull windows and approximately 6'7" headroom. Sliding glass doors and a large sunroof create a contiguous indoor/outdoor space, and the convertible saloon sofa adds forward-facing seating underway. The single crew berth is crammed into the forepeak and best treated as occasional-use.
Ownership feedback emphasizes maintenance planning: the triple Volvo Penta IPS installation delivers the noted performance but adds service complexity over twin-shaft boats. Pod oil changes are typically done with the annual bottom job or at about 400 hours, and the compact engine-room/garage under the cockpit can make access tight for major works. Many owners rely on independent local technicians for routine fixes, with occasional difficulty sourcing European parts and mixed experiences with warranty responsiveness.
