Owner Experience Review
Owners describe the 72 FlyfromAzimut Yachtsas a cruising flybridge they use for family weekend trips and Bahamas runs. The layout with four en‑suite cabins and generous headroom earns consistent praise for livability, and the high‑finish interior, large foredeck sunbed, and elongated flybridge stand out as guest‑friendly social zones. Several owners also note its suitability for small, high‑end short charters thanks to the cabin count and privacy.
Sea‑trial data places the comfortable cruise in the 20–26‑knot band, with about 32–33 knots at the top on twin 1,400‑hp MANs; testers credit the deep‑V and nearly 19‑ft beam with a confident feel in chop. At the same time, forum sentiment is split—one captain flatly states, “They … ride like shit and aren’t very seaworthy. It’s a floating apartment meant to be looked at in a marina.” Maintenance reports are likewise mixed: owners cite wiring and A/C‑electrical faults and even a case of over $500,000 in day‑one warranty work, plus high running costs and occasional parts/after‑sales difficulties (noted by some U.S. owners). Against that, professional reviews point to an impressive, spacious engine room (roughly 6 ft 8 in of headroom) and generally good service access.
Pros and Cons
- Four en‑suite cabins and generous headroom make it genuinely livable for families and short charters.
- Large foredeck sunbed and elongated flybridge are standout entertaining spaces with a high‑level finish.
- Spacious engine room (~6 ft 8 in headroom) and generally good service access ease routine maintenance.
- Multiple reports cite wiring, air‑conditioning, and electrical issues, including one post noting over $500,000 of day‑one warranty repairs.
- High running and maintenance costs with occasional parts/after‑sales difficulties, especially among some U.S. owners.
- Polarizing ride and seaworthiness perception, with a forum voice dismissing it as a “floating apartment.”
