Azimut Fly 55 For Sale

The Azimut 55 Fly is a three-cabin, two-head flybridge motor yacht aimed at owners who want full overnighting accommodation for up to six guests plus a crew. The example shown here is a 2019 build, identifiable by Azimut's signature hull-side windows, a feature the yard helped popularize across its range. A separate crew cabin sits behind a door on the starboard side, complete with its own full head and air conditioning and heating. This 55-foot Azimut yacht balances serious entertaining space with private staterooms, making it suited to families or owners who cruise with help aboard.

Power on this Azimut 55 flybridge comes from twin MAN 800-horsepower diesels, paired with joystick control and both bow and stern thrusters for close-quarters maneuvering. A Seakeeper gyro stabilizer is fitted, and at MarineMax these boats are stocked with the gyro as standard equipment. There are two helm positions: a lower station with flush-mounted Raymarine electronics, single-lever controls, joystick and the Seakeeper control, plus an upper helm on the flybridge. The starboard hull-side window at the lower helm lowers so the operator can speak with crew while docking, and the port-side upper helm lets you dock from the bridge when tied up on that side.

The cockpit and main deck are designed to work as one entertaining level. A hydraulic swim platform rated to 800 pounds carries an inflatable Williams jet tender or a jet ski, and teak runs the gunnels, cockpit and swim platform. The aft glass door swings open and a motorized window drops to merge the salon and galley with the cockpit. Synthetic marble tables appear in the cockpit and on the flybridge, chosen for durability as much as appearance. Inside, an entry panel groups the electrical switches, and concealed compartments house the KVH satellite TV system and an ice maker.

The flybridge is a strong selling point on the Azimut 55 fly. It carries a hardtop with a usable manual sunroof, an electric grill, a freshwater sink and a refrigerator behind the helm, so cooking and serving happen without trips below. U-shaped seating and a synthetic marble table seat up to eight, and the bridge structure doubles as a sunshade over the cockpit below. Integrated stairs with a grab rail give secure access in a seaway.

The Azimut 55 interior places the full-beam master amidships, with two large opening hull-side portholes for airflow, a full-size berth described as king-sized, a walk-in wardrobe with an internal safe, deep drawers, and an ensuite with a separate full shower. A mirror opposite the berth conceals a flat-screen TV over a Bose soundbar, and a washer and dryer are tucked away just outside the cabin. The port-side galley uses Miele appliances, a full-size refrigerator and generous counter space. Forward, a VIP cabin in the bow has a full-size berth, opening hull-side windows and substantial under-berth storage, while the starboard guest cabin offers two bunks, an opening window, a flat-screen TV with Bose soundbar, and a closet. A day head with its own separate shower serves the forward cabins.

When evaluating a used Azimut 55 fly for sale, check the engine hours and overall condition; one example offered with around 375 hours showed a sound hull and a generator in near-new condition but needed cosmetic cleaning, vinyl attention and resolution of leaks before the interior work. A cold start with no smoke is a good sign on these MAN engines.
