Overview
The Azimut 64 is a classic flybridge yacht launched by Azimut Yachts in the 60–65-foot class, offering a luxury cruising experience designed to be ‘owner-driven’. Combining Italian design (exterior by Stefano Righini and interior by Carlo Galeazzi) with a high-performance propulsion system, the yacht strikes an excellent balance between space, speed and manoeuvrability.
Key Highlights
- Italian design aesthetics: Streamlined exterior and expansive glazing create an open, modern visual experience
- High-performance power delivery: Twin Caterpillar C18 engines, with a top speed of approximately 34 knots, combining speed and stability
- Distinctive flybridge space: An approximately 21m² flybridge combining leisure, dining and control functions
- Full-beam master cabin design: Offers a living experience comparable to larger yachts
- Suitable for owner-operated cruising: User-friendly handling within the 60-foot class, eliminating the need for a permanent professional crew
Use Cases & Suitable Audience
The Azimut 64 is ideally suited for family weekend getaways, short cruises and high-end social events. Its three-cabin layout typically accommodates six guests, complemented by a crew cabin, making it suitable for both private family use and light charter operations.
For owners looking to upgrade from a 40–50-foot yacht whilst retaining the ability to skipper the vessel themselves, this model represents an ideal transitional choice. It is also particularly well-suited to cruising environments where short-haul voyages predominate, such as the Mediterranean and Southeast Asia (e.g. waters around Singapore).
Cost of Ownership & Market Perspective
The Azimut 64 is now out of production and is primarily available on the second-hand market, with prices typically ranging from €800,000 to €1.5 million (with significant variation depending on the year of manufacture and the condition of the vessel). Annual running costs are approximately €60,000 to €150,000, covering mooring, maintenance, insurance and fuel expenses.
From a market perspective, due to its high production volume (approximately 96 units), this model benefits from a well-established supply of spare parts and a mature maintenance network, ensuring good liquidity. Furthermore, its performance (speeds of 30+ knots) and spatial layout are competitive within its class, making it one of the leading examples of a ‘high-value-for-money pre-owned yacht’. However, it is important to note that there can be significant variations in the condition of individual vessels, and maintenance history directly impacts both value and the user experience.
Buying Advice
If you are looking for a 60-foot flybridge yacht that balances performance with living space, the Azimut 64 is a mature and relatively reliable choice. We recommend prioritising vessels in excellent condition with a comprehensive maintenance record, and paying particular attention to the condition of the engines, electronic systems and interior fittings.
For buyers on a limited budget seeking a luxurious experience, this model offers excellent value for money on the second-hand market; however, if you prioritise long-term reliability and the latest technical specifications, you may wish to compare it with newer generations of Azimut or models from competing brands in the same class.
