Azimut 53 For Sale

The Azimut 53 is the smallest model in Azimut Yachts' flybridge range, an Italian-built midsize cruiser styled by Alberto Mancini with an in-house interior. It carries three cabins on the lower deck and a single-engine package, positioning it as a sensible step up for an owner moving from a large dayboat into a yacht with proper cabins, a galley and full weekends aboard. The Azimut 53 Flybridge price starts at about 1.1 million euros excluding VAT; a heavily optioned example with the hardtop, Seakeeper, upgraded Garmin navigation, crew cabin fit-out and upgraded generator and air conditioning runs to just over 1.7 million euros excluding VAT. Shoppers searching for an Azimut 53 Flybridge for sale, including 2021 and 2024 model years, are looking at this Mancini-designed family cruiser.

The 53 is IPS only, with one engine choice: twin Volvo Penta IPS 950 forward-facing drives rated at 725 hp each. Top speed is around 31 knots, with 34 knots seen flat out running with the tide, and the boat cruises comfortably anywhere from 25 to 27 knots. Fuel capacity is roughly 2,400 liters, giving a range near 265 nautical miles at 26 knots and close to 400 nautical miles at 25 knots. On the water the hull tracks cleanly, leans onto its chine in turns and has a tight turning circle for the type. Fuel consumption at the helm read about 95 liters per hour per engine at 23 knots, around 122 liters per side near 29 knots, and roughly 150 liters per side at wide-open throttle. The squared, slightly flattened bow parts wash out to the sides and keeps the boat dry in moderate inshore and Mediterranean-style conditions. An active trim control adjusts trim automatically, and a Seakeeper 9 gyro stabilizer is fitted for motion control underway and at anchor.

There are lower and flybridge helm stations, with a third cockpit control station available as an option. Both helms use adjustable seats with fold-down bolsters and adjustable wheels, and the controls are grouped so the bow thruster, IPS joystick and throttles fall under the hand. Navigation is by Garmin, with this boat carrying the mid-level gold package; a Platinum package adds larger screens. The lower helm sits centrally for a clear forward view with no blind spot at the starboard mullion, but it has no opening side windows, so it gets warm and offers no direct way to talk to crew on deck. The flybridge helm is open and well ventilated, set back behind a deep raked windscreen.

The cockpit has an L-shaped sofa and a long teak table, with the stairs to both the flybridge and swim platform placed on the starboard side. An optional wet bar adds a sink, ice maker and two bottle coolers, plus wine coolers in some fit-outs. The transom hides a 500 kg hydraulic bathing platform that can launch a tender such as a Williams 325, and a tall transom that conceals an optional single-berth crew cabin with a window set into the transom. The foredeck has a sun pad with actuated, gas-ram backrests and a forward bench. The flybridge offers a large forward sun pad, a wraparound seating area with a high-low table, and a wet bar with grill, sink, fridge and ice maker; shading options run from a manual Bimini to an electric Bimini to the hardtop with its one-touch sliding canvas sunroof.

Below, the saloon has an aft galley close to the cockpit with Corian counters, induction cooking, dishwasher, oven, full-size fridge-freezer and wine cooler, all hidden behind brushed oak panels with sprung, rattle-free catches. Interior styling pairs the light oak with bronze matte surfaces and ivory upholstery. The three-cabin layout places a full-beam owner's suite amidships, taking advantage of the 4.95-meter beam, with a low-profile bed, a settee and a genuine walk-in wardrobe. The forward VIP has an island double with full-length hanging lockers, and a twin-single cabin suits children; a single bathroom doubles as a day head shared by the two guest cabins. A lobby compartment holds a combination washer-dryer and linen storage. The dining table lowers electrically and accepts infill cushions to form an extra berth.

Build quality stands out in the heft of the stainless rails and cabinet lids and the rounded, corner-free furniture. Notable cost options include the hardtop, Seakeeper, crew cabin fit-out, third helm station, larger MFDs and cockpit wet bar. Buyers should weigh the lack of natural ventilation at the lower helm and modest loose-item storage at both helms against the volume, range and easy handling of the boat.
