In great shape. Only 160 hours on the engines. Great deal.

PresentationPresentationAzimut has been an innovative builder in motor yachts and cruisers in the last two decades, breakingthe ice with revolutionary designs outside and setting new trends with innovative layout plans inside.So when the 58 of the called F for flybridge series was presented in the fall of 2007 there was muchanticipation for this model, which will have a starting challenge replacing the 300 plus delivered 55 inthe long term of the Italian builder plans. The 58 though has not been the expected revolution overthe 55, but a general improvement in all parts starting with bigger engines, and going into detail onthe improving accommodation with high selling point coming in the VIP fore cabin with its scissortransforming berth from double to a nice twin for two big adults, making this cabin a family or guestsaffair. Other improvements are the high low bathing platform, bigger flybridge, more spacious aft deck,opening vertical windows in the master cabin, and last the modified saloon now feeling larger andsmarter.AccommodationAccommodationThe 55 which was presented in 2000 was always about the full beam owners cabin, making sure thismodel was delivered at 300 plus in an 8 years production span, a record in its size and time. The 58offers a similar interior 3 cabin 2 head lower deck plan mirror improvement to the 55, but board the newAzimut and it does feel bigger and different. The theme is about modern minimal accents, with oak woodjoinery and natural light coming from the large windows featured in all part of the yacht from the largeshark fin windows in the saloon, to the rectangles in the VIP cabin and the three longitudinal windowsin the owner cabin which also are a novelty here being able to open. Praised feature is the fore VIPcabin which with a scissor movement can go from a nice queen size double to twin single berths. Fullbeam owners cabin follows the traditional layout with a 45 degrees positioned berth, and a beauty desk

opposite. There is also the twin guest cabin in between all this. If desired a single berth crew cabin withprivate head can be fitted as optional aft.The welcoming main deck has a spacious c-shaped settee to port, step up two steps and you have theopen space galley to port with opposite a 6 people dining area. Forward of this there is a a nice 2 personsettee, just to the side of the central positioned helm station, very good for lounge entertainment duringnavigation trips with full views forward and to the side. This concept is again followed on the fly but thistime more of a sun lounger. On the flybridge you also find a c-shaped settee, l-shaped wetbar and afree astern area, with Azimut's plan suggesting to put two free moving deck chairs for maximum sunworshipping.

PerformancePerformanceA tried and tested hull also derived from the 55, with a good balance of weight and navigational speedput into it. Azimut 58 hull is a variable geometry moderate vee with 15.5 degrees aft, with deepersleeker forward sections. Running gear and propellers run in tunnels for reduced shaft angle and betterefficiency. The twin MAN R6 800hp are the real difference here which give top speeds of 32 knots and acruising of 28 knots. Not bad for a loaded weight of close to 29 tons, and what I would also call moderatepower. For easy marina manoeuvring Azimut also offers a joystick which can spin the boat around withthe help of a stern and bow thruster, a solution seen on the bigger boats from this Italian builder since2003.PositivePositiveForward VIP Cabin which from a double transforms to twin single berthsPassenger settee by both helm stationsHi Low bathing platformNegativeNegativeSmall crew cabin aftCompetitionCompetitionCriteria for competition was 17 metres and 3 cabins on what is a highly competitive size, with manybuilders offering a similar concept to the Azimut 58 F, that is of a full beam owners cabin. The othersgoing to a more traditional layout of a forward owners cabin are the Ferretti 551 or the VZ 56 whichsurprisingly both come from Italy. Another surprise is how much this type of motor yacht with flybridgeand 3 cabins is international today. with builders spanning from Europe with Italian British builders, tothe middle East from Gulf Craft owned Majesty to Australia with Maritimo. The US offers are the feel bigHatteras and Canada built Neptunus, but there could be 3 more to this, but other American built flybridge

All this while not really new on an Azimut looks still very fresh on the 58! Thebig billion $£ question now is whether the 58 will have the winning success the 55 enjoyed in its 8 plusyears of production. First outing in Genoa Show 2007 showed good sales in favour for the 58, what is anexceptional result with much tighter competition now then in 2000.Technical DataTechnical DataLOA. 17.8 metres (58.8 ft)Hull Length. 17.59 metresBeam. 4.95 metresDraft. 1.37 metres includes props @ full loadDisplacement. 28.8t full loadFuel Capacity. 2800 litresWater Capacity. 630 litresAccommodation. 6 berths in 3 cabins + optional crew cabin aftEngines. 2 x MAN R6 800hpPropulsion.
