Azimut worldwide premiere at the 2018 Boot Düsseldorf

Azimut Atlantis 51, making its world debut at the German Boat Show, is a yacht with the DNA of a true open, featuring ample space on board and aggressive styling by New Design.
The Main Deck has been approached as one big lounge area, while the Lower Deck offers a remarkable three cabins, without sacrificing a full-fledged central dinette with folding table, representing the distinctive features of this best-in-class model in its segment.

Azimut 55 Fly, on the other hand, stands out for its juxtaposition of taut, flowing exterior lines by Stefano Righini, against warm, cosy and refined interiors defined by smooth lines and the creative flair of Achille Salvagni. The decor is based on the combination of five different materials and, on this model too, the layout of the Lower Deck features three double cabins.

Azimut Yachts, an Azimut Benetti Group brand, presents the new Azimut Atlantis 51, in a world preview at the Düsseldorf Boat Show.
Performance and space on board are two of the most obvious features of this open with sporty, aggressive lines, designed by Marco Biaggi and Filippo Salvetti, the owners of Neo Design, which since 2009 has worked on the entire range.

Atlantis 51 offers plenty of welcoming, airy space, thanks to the generous beam which measures a full 4.5 meters.
With the DNA of a pure open and a design featuring the distinctive vertical bow, this model has been created for people who want to spend the entire day in the open air, without compromising on absolute comfort in the interiors too.

That is why the main deck is like a big open air lounge area. In addition to the spacious sun lounging areas both fore and aft, the deck is designed and furnished to create a sophisticated living area to relax in, which can be quickly converted into a dinette for lunch.
In fact, facing the classic C-shaped sofa is a second one, which can be split if needed to form two poufs, arranged around a coffee table that can be converted into a big, comfortable dining table, so creating a fully-appointed dining area.

Turning to the interiors, also designed by Biaggi and Salvetti, Azimut has managed to keep a proper dinette in addition to three cabins, which are the defining feature of this best-in-class model in its segment.

The big dinette with a folding table on the Lower Deck provides the utmost in comfort to dine or simply relax while sharing the pleasure of the galley opposite.
The owner’s suite in the bow features a big full-height space, a vanity table with pouf, and a small bookcase. It is also flooded with natural light entering through the double ceiling and side windows. The VIP cabin in the centre of the boat has been designed as a second owner’s suite, offering the option of a double bed that can be converted into twin beds with the help of practical sliding guide tracks. This cabin too has a vanity area, plus plenty of storage space. The third and final cabin has bunk beds and is extremely generously sized, while the big side window provides lots of natural light.

The engine room plays host to two engines Volvo 800 (600 HP), with IPS transmissions: the top speed of 35* knots speeds up trips between one bay and the next, while the transmission delivers great manoeuvrability and makes the yacht easy to drive. Azimut Atlantis 51 cruises at a speed of about 32 knots.
On board livability and comfort are also ensured by a garage that can contain a 3.25 m tender.

Azimut 55 will make its world debut at the Düsseldorf Boat Show. It is a yacht that makes an important style statement and was born of a challenge: the desire to combine a silhouette defined by sleek lines, with a warm, cosy alcove inside, featuring soft, flowing shapes.

It was both a successful and a satisfying challenge for the shipbuilder and the two protagonists of this ambitious and exciting project. The first is Stefano Righini, who designed the exteriors and defined the concept, which stands out for lines that start out taut in the bow and then gradually soften towards the stern. The second is Achille Salvagni, the world-famous architect who is one of AD Collector’s top 100 international designers and appears on the A-list drawn up by Elle Decor USA. On this yacht too, we find his famously original style language, borrowed from residential architecture.

The outside decks: elegantly spacious sea view living areas

What immediately strikes the eye about the yacht’s exterior is the outline of the Flybridge, which extends even further towards the stern and is, in fact, unusually large, reaping the benefits of the extended rear section. This makes it possible, even on the 55-foot model, to include a second unexpected living area, sheltered from curious eyes, which can be furnished with two facing sofas.

The Main Deck, on the other hand, features a big sun lounging area in the bow. Designed to act as an oasis of comfort, it draws its inspiration from the idea of a cocoon, in which the oversize cushion set, defined by soft, circular shapes, creates a sense of all-embracing well-being. The adjustable backrest, split into three sections, is tall enough to use as both a sunlounger and a chaiselongue. The area of shade provided by a remarkably large and deep bimini top can also be extended further forward, for relaxation while totally sheltered from the sun’s glare.

The heart of the “Pearl”: warm and cosy interiors

The interior design by Salvagni is permeated by a sophisticated sense of calm that reigns over all the latest generation Azimut yachts, which are furnished with care lavished on every precious detail and
finishing. The spaces are defined by flowing lines, both above and below deck, and by the total absence of sharp edges. Key to this project was careful research, resulting in the clever combination of five different materials: grey zebrawood and dark oak, glossy black lacquer, and bronze and steel inserts.
The galley is situated in the entrance area, which is the optimum layout for yachts this size, as well as being an extremely practical choice, because both the dining areas can be served from it. The entrance has in any case been designed as a lobby, thanks to the sophisticated shapes of the galley furniture and the combination of different materials. The elegant central area on the Main Deck, which is slightly raised above the entrance area, consists of a small lounge with a central low table and two facing sofas that have a magnificent sea view.

The Lower Deck features three double cabins. The VIP cabin in the bow has a double bed, of course, while the spacious full-beam owner’s cabin, which is flooded with light through two large rectangular windows, is located in the centre of the boat. Between the two is the third cabin, which is fitted with twin beds. The design philosophy that guided Salvagni on this yacht is based once again on the theme of calm and timeless elegance, which some critics have compared to Italian Renaissance art, but seen from an absolutely contemporary perspective: “the new Italian Renaissance”. A skilful contamination of wood varieties gives the spaces a uniquely contemporary feel.
The two bathrooms both have separate shower stalls. There is also a cabin for the captain, with access from the transom.

Leading edge technology for extreme cruising comfort

The yacht features latest generation technical solutions, identified by Azimut’s Innovation Lab in the framework of the ECS - Enhanced Cruising Solutions programme, to offer the best possible boat management: from Active Trim Control, which adjusts the trim continuously during navigation, reducing friction and optimising consumption, to Electronic Power Steering, which allows the owner to customise the sensitivity of the control functions, regulating wheel turns and steering effort according to speed and piloting style. This solution also reduces maintenance requirements and increases safety onboard.
The two 800 hp Volvo engines have shaft-line transmissions, powering Azimut 55 to a top speed of 31* knots.
