Azimut interior

If you’re a boatbuilder, one of your most difficult challenges is knowing when to replace a model. After all, designing a new boat is a costly endeavor, to say the least. Way before fiberglass meets resin, you’ll have spent at least a million dollars in design, tooling, and testing. To make sure you get that money back, plus a nice profit, you need to build and sell as many of each model as you can.

But if you keep a model in the line-up too long, sales will begin to slide, and before you know it, you and your dealers are left with a lot of boats Azimut that no one wants. On the other hand, if you pull the plug on a model too soon, you’ll leave money on the table. The secret to finding the sweet spot between these two extremes consists of one part knowing your buyers, one part knowing your competition, and one big part being a good guesser.

Main Deck

A three-panel sliding glass door separates the cockpit from the internal part. The panels slide behind the sofas, concealing them and freeing the communicating space between Azimut interior and exterior.

An extremely original layout characterizes the Azimut 82's main deck: a long corridor with a doussie wood floor leads toward the bow, reserved for the main helm station and a large chart area alongside the helm seat.

Entering the saloon and moving along the long corridor we come to the main rooms used for the principal daytime activities: saloon/living area and TV area, lunch area and galley, completely separated from the rest of the rooms.

Azimut boats and Yachts

The three areas in the Azimut boat are lighted by large windows that run along the deckhouse for a length of about 3 meters.

The saloon is an intimate, cozy area furnished with a large elevating TV. For the first time the TV is also visible in the lowered position, since it is hidden only by a dark glass that disappears when it is switched on and makes it possible to enjoy the panorama outside at the same time thanks to the large mirrored window.
