Azimut Atlantis 43 For Sale

The Azimut Atlantis 43 is a sporty hardtop cruiser that measures over 45 feet despite its compact profile, placing it between the 40-foot and 48-foot models from builders like Princess and Sunseeker. Its Italian-inspired hardtop carries a carbon-look finish on the dark side profiles, and the windows set within the dark band let far more light below deck than the porthole-style glazing the silhouette first suggests. Buyers cross-shopping a Princess V39 or V40 tend to notice how much beamier this boat is and how much more accommodation it delivers for its length. It suits owners who want a practical, good-looking sports cruiser they can handle confidently on open water.

Power comes from twin Volvo Penta D6 400-horsepower diesels on stern drives, with four counter-rotating propellers, two per engine. The Azimut Atlantis 43 planes in three to four seconds and reaches 25 knots in about 10 seconds, with a top speed around 36 knots. Minimum planing speed is 12 knots; at 21 knots and 2,500 RPM fuel consumption is roughly 75 liters per hour, and the ideal cruising speed of 25 knots at 2,750 RPM keeps consumption below 100 liters per hour. Trimming the flaps and drives lets the hull lift and pass 27 knots while still under 100 liters per hour. The stern drives, a joystick and a bow thruster make low-speed maneuvering in tight marinas straightforward.

The helm has two sculpted captain and co-pilot seats with bolster support and a step up to a driving position with a footrest and adjustable seat back. The dash carries a 12-inch Raymarine touchscreen, a 7-inch Volvo display and room for screens up to 16 inches, plus Raymarine autopilot, a chain counter for the windlass and Volvo electronic controls. Visibility is strong thanks to a wide, tall windshield, thin pillars and a large opening side window for monitoring distances when docking. An electric sunroof opens and closes at the push of a button, and many boats add air conditioning blowing at the helm along with an 8.5-kilowatt generator.

The deck layout includes sun pads on the bow and stern measuring more than two meters and wide enough for several people, with a movable stern backrest that converts seating into a sunbed. The cockpit seats nine around an extendable high-gloss table and a wet bar area with an electric grill, sink, refrigerator and ice maker. Side decks run about 25 cm wide, kept safe by high siding, and the whole cockpit sits at one level. Aft, a submersible hydraulic swim platform drops about three feet into the water, and the garage is large enough for a 210 cm tender plus additional gear such as paddleboards.

Below deck, the master cabin sits forward with an island double bed measuring 2 meters by 1.5 meters, hanging lockers either side, under-bed storage, an opening hatch and an en suite head with a separate walk-in shower. Cabin and bathroom headroom measures 192 cm. The full-beam aft guest cabin holds three separate single beds, with two that slide together into a double, plus windows at both ends and generous storage. A lower saloon, a galley with ceramic or induction burner, microwave and full-size fridge-freezer, and a convertible dinette bring the total to six berths; dishwasher and washer-dryer units are available for self-sufficiency. Interiors use light Tanganyika wood and teak flooring, with optional fabrics from Missoni and Loro Piana, and diesel heaters and air conditioning suit year-round use.

The Azimut Atlantis 43 carries Azimut's build quality, and pricing reflects it. New prices start at around €430,000 including 20% VAT, and used examples for sale include 2017 and 2019 boats with as little as 135 to 240 hours, often freshwater-only. Points to weigh include narrow side decks, whether a listed tender is included in the price, and the engine service history, such as bellows replacement on stern-drive models.
