Review: Azimut 53 Fly

If space and comfort for the whole family while you travel is what you’re after, you may want to add this flybridge yacht to your list

Traversing the world’s oceans and chasing the horizons is no longer the risky endeavour it once was. In fact, not only can it now be done in comfort most often seen in high-rise, luxurious apartments, the whole family can join in on the adventure. This new offering from Azimut, the 53 Fly, has everything you need and more to make this happen.

Airiness and freedom of movement come together in this yacht, which offers the ability for long stays on board. Staying true to Azimut’s hallmark style, the open feeling inside is created by the day area being laid out almost on the same level, with the galley found near the entrance, separated from the lounge by a step. Windows run all around, uninterrupted by uprights from the entrance area to the windscreen. 

The master stateroom is located amidships, featuring unbelievable storage space, including a full walk-in robe, and the styling that has come to be expected from Azimut. Rounding out the accommodation is a VIP cabin and a twin-bed cabin.

Externally, views from the journey can be taken in from a variety of spaces. A swim platform, foredeck and flybridge sunpads, plus a cockpit lounge and flybridge dinette, provide more than enough areas for the whole family to relax in peace.

There are options to power the whole operation, most often featuring two Volvo Penta IPS 950s, ensuring comfort, manoeuvrability and efficiency when underway. With a top speed of 31kt, a cruising speed of 27kt, and a fuel tank capacity of 2400L, far off destinations will be well within reach. All that’s left to do is pick which direction you want to fly.
