Azimut 40S For Sale

The Azimut 40S is a 40-foot Italian flybridge-style cruiser built for owners who want a compact yacht that still sleeps two couples in separate cabins. The example offered here is based in Fort Lauderdale, a few minutes from the airport. The hull carries a generous amount of fiberglass through the salon and helm structures, which keeps the soft wall panels to a minimum and simplifies refurbishment compared with boats finished entirely in fabric. Anyone searching for an Azimut 40S for sale will find a layout that balances liveaboard space with single-engine-room serviceability on a manageable footprint.

Power comes from twin Cummins diesels controlled through hydraulic steering, with a chassis-mounted joystick that has been upgraded on this boat for close-quarters docking. The engine room sits under a cockpit hatch and holds the diesel poly fuel tanks, which interconnect side to side so the boat can be filled from one fill point, plus a generator at one end and the black water tank aft. Engine access is limited but standard for a 40-footer, and a section of the cockpit sole lifts for deeper maintenance work.

The helm runs an original Raymarine multifunction display that remains in working order, paired with Raymarine radar, a searchlight, an M3 satellite dome, a Sirius/sat TV antenna and a transom-mounted camera. Helm controls cover the Cummins throttles, trim tabs, anchor windlass with chain counter, anchor wash, wipers, horn, running lights, electric side window, autopilot and an alarm panel with mute. A battery parallel switch and the alarm system are within reach of the driver's seat.

The cockpit uses horseshoe seating with a removable center filler and a high-low table that folds out to dining size, and a sofa bed pulls out from the seat module for additional sleeping. Bi-fold doors and a sliding panel open the cockpit to the salon, where a GL Audio sound system with a Fusion head unit is fitted. On deck the foredeck is finished in non-skid rather than teak to cut maintenance, the stainless is in good shape, and the gelcoat is described as decent and unabused. A hydraulic swim platform, pop-up dinghy chocks that adapt to the hull bottom for a tender or wave runner, and a hydraulic passerelle all run off the same hydraulic pump.

Belowdecks the 40S offers two cabins and two heads. The guest stateroom uses side-by-side beds with full hull windows and filler cushions to convert the berths, a hanging closet, and a pass-through door to the day head, which is a dry head with the toilet system accessible behind a panel. The forward master has its own private head and two hanging lockers. The galley sits aft near the companionway with a stainless two-burner stovetop, a refrigerator and the main electrical panel.

Buyers weighing this boat should budget for cosmetic refresh: several headliner and wall panels show sagging or earlier fabric work that was stretched but not done cleanly, and a few panels at the helm and salon are dirty enough to warrant cleaning or rewrapping. Those panels are simple wrap jobs because so much of the surrounding structure is fiberglass. The cockpit cushions are in good condition but noted for eventual replacement. There is a minor cosmetic nick near one of the deck fills. Overall the boat presents as honest and original, well suited to an owner comfortable with light interior updating.
