New Azimut 68 Motoryacht?

I know Azimut has a 42' and 55' "Evolution". The exterior styling looks ALOT like the 68 Plus. Could you be thinking of the 68 - "S" ?

I checked Azimut's FTP site, as well as their consumer site. No info there either. Azimut's marketing staff changed a few months ago and I have not had much contact with them since then.

I'll send a note this evening and see if we can get some info.

Here's a piece of what you might be looking for:

May/June 05 issue of BOAT International USA, page 20 says that four Evolution models are available: 42, 46,55, and 68.

The "evolutions" are primarily aesthetic... mirrored side windows, larger broadside windows for improved interior light, cherrywood furniture, perfumed cedarwood interior, increased room for hanging lockers, and redesigned pilot consoles for the latest equipment.

68 plus and 68s they are different motorboat

68 plus is flybridge motor yacht on the other hand 68s is a crusing yach I mean.

gotta have flybridge and red hull so please new model

I just joined YachtForums, and am unsure if I am replying correctly. However, I took delivery last month of a 2006 Azimut 68 Evolution, so I can assure you that it exists and that it is a real head turner wherever it goes. The boat is powered by twin 1360 common rail MAN turbo-charged diesels which perform perfectly with the hull. The master stateroom main porthole is a very large trapezoid. The flybridge, bow, walkarounds, and cockpit are teak decked, and the salon, dinette, galley and lower helm are mahogany decked. The lower helm features two side-by-side captain's chairs, both beautiful and exceptionally comfortable.

Welcome to YachtForums!

Yes, the 68' Evo exists. Since the above posts were made, images and specs became available, but someone (that would be me!) forgot to follow up on this thread.

Glad to have you onboard. Look forward to your participation!

Lionell,

You and I are in the same boat, sorta speak. Since the new management team took over at Azimut, I've had more contact with deceast relatives.

Allied Richard Bertram has a little info and here's an image...

I´ve seen a Azimut looking like this one in Marina Frapa (Rogoznica) I`m going to look whether i`ve got a picture.

The Azimut 86S was, to my surprise, at the SIBS this year... i noticed it sneaking in on the first day, and then when i went back it was moored properly....

I was gutted that it didnt have the red hull tho

Quite nice... just understated. Without the red it lacks the visual impact.

Totally! I didn't know it was there until i was infront of it!

Hey Jon, did they have a 43s at the show? Does anyone know the price of it in £'s I want one! It looks really long too is eactly 43ft?

Unfortunately, of the 4 Azimuts there, 3 of them were flybridg boats, no 43S i'm afraid, bit disappointed myself, but it was still god to see the 68S at SIBS.

The 43S is a nice looking yacht tho, for sure! See...

Price wise, i've had a net search and can't find a figure for the 43. But considering the 86S is approx £3.5m, the 68S approx £1.5m, you're looking about £750k to a mill i recon.

Apologies in late-joining the thread, the price of the Azimut 43S is in the region of 465,000 euros.
