Owner Experience Review

Owners choose the Azimut 88fromAzimut Yachtsfor private family cruising, Mediterranean itineraries, crewed charters, and lively weekend entertaining. Multiple listings confirm a four-cabin layout for eight guests with a full‑beam mid‑ship owner suite and crew space for about three, while panoramic glazing, generous headroom, and the salon‑to‑cockpit flow make the yacht particularly social. These qualities have made it a common charter platform as well as a comfortable family base.

On the water, reports cite a typical cruise around 24 knots, top speeds near 29 knots, and roughly 330 nm of range at about 21 knots, delivering a sporty feel. The deep‑V hull provides a relatively soft entry yet owners and captains note it needs significant power to maintain speed, and feedback in steep or confused seas is mixed; some were surprised by how poorly it ran in rough conditions, with a few preferring other builders for rough‑water comfort.

Long‑term ownership feedback is more divided. Forum threads and service anecdotes mention recurring electrical and systems‑installation issues, leaking hatches, cracked window seals, failed plastic thru‑hulls, aging hoses, and subsequent upgrades to higher‑quality pumps and valves. Access for maintenance can be awkward in places (such as A/C areas), and at least one owner/broker publicly described contentious warranty interactions, including legal threats; experiences clearly vary by boat and care.

Pros and Cons

• Four-cabin layout for eight with a full-beam mid-ship owner suite and crew for ~3 suits family cruising and charter.
• Panoramic glazing, high ceilings, and strong salon-to-cockpit flow support entertaining on the main deck and flybridge.

• Mixed seakeeping in steep or confused seas, and the hull can require significant power to hold speed.
• Repeated reports of electrical and systems-installation problems, plus leaks and component failures over time.
• Awkward service access in some areas and contentious warranty experiences reported by some owners/brokers.
