Azimut 86

Onboard the Azimut 86

At 26 metres, the Azimut 86 reads as sleek rather than large, with a low sheer line and a wide aft deck that sets the tone for how she is used on board. The layout favours time spent outside: guests tend to gather around the al fresco dining area rather than retreat below, and the swim platform keeps the sea within easy reach whenever the boat is stopped.

She suits a day spent moving between a swim stop and a longer lunch at anchor, cruising at around 27 knots when guests want to cover distance along a stretch of coastline before the afternoon slows down. The pace on board shifts easily from a brisk transfer to a still, anchored hour with the platform lowered and the table set for a meal outside.

Below deck, four cabins sleep up to twelve guests, a configuration that works equally well for a couple travelling with friends or a small family group wanting separate space at night. Given her size and speed, the Azimut 86 is a straightforward yacht to plan around for a single day out or a short multi-day route, with fuel and any additional costs discussed and confirmed before departure so the budget is clear from the outset.
