Azimut has always been on the forefront of Italian style with exteriors penned by the legendary Stefano Righini, designer of the signature sporty, streamlined hull and superstructure, extremely raked windshield, distinctively shaped side cabin windows, and cluster of vertical hull windows have defined the timeless Azimut style for over a decade. But each model year incorporates new trends and improvements, such as the current trend for more entertainment spaces. The 2019 Azimut 50 Fly features 3 major outdoor areas optimized for lounging and entertaining.

The 200 sq ft flybridge deck area features a huge sun lounge forward and starboard of the helm console, that abuts the starboard dining settee. An entertainment station with wet bar, electric Kenyon grill and refrigerator is centrally located and under the hardtop with retractable sunroof. The bridge aft deck features two large facing lounges on port and starboard sides. The extended bridge deck completely shades the cockpit below. The cockpit is on the same level as the main cabin deck and sliders open to the salon, making a large indoor/outdoor area for entertaining. The cockpit features a transom settee around a table on pedestal for al fresco dining and socializing. Two small refrigerators are convenient for chilling beverages. The bow features a lounge area with built-in bench seat for 6 and a gigantic sunpad with headrest and drink holders forward. A crosswalk between them provides easy access from starboard and port side decks. Fusion audio system speakers are strategically located throughout the yacht—exterior and interior.

“AT LAST” features a versatile split level living area with the salon aft and the forward galley and lower helm raised up a step. The large U-shaped salon sofa wraps a hi-lo pedestal table that expands to convert to a dining table. For entertainment, “AT LAST” is equipped with KVH TV6 TracVision and Starlink WiFi; DirectTV is in each of the 3 staterooms and crew quarters. The salon features a large Samsung TV on lift, Sony 4K UHD, BlueRay 3D, and Bose Lifestyle surround sound entertainment electronics. The portside galley up arrangement is a departure from previous model years. Directly across from the starboard helm station, the efficient galley is fully functional with topline appliances and brightly surrounded by windows. Lower-level accommodations feature a midships full beam master cabin with private head, forward VIP with private access to guest head and guest stateroom on starboard side with upper/lower berths that shares the guest/day head with VIP. Crew quarters are accessed from a cockpit hatch. All are very nicely appointed and feature Azimut’s excellent craftsmanship.

The oversized hydraulic stern boarding platform submerges for swimming and molded steps on port and starboard sides lead up to the cockpit for access to anywhere onboard. Molded stairs on portside lead up to the flybridge. The helms’ Xenta joystick combines Volvo diesel engines and bow thruster controls for easy maneuvering in tight spaces for easy owner-operator handling. “AT LAST”’s sporty speeds—25 knot cruising and about 35 knots top speed, make her fun to drive, and a pleasure to cruise.
