This newest addition to the Azimut’s S Collection represents a stunning shift in styling by Stefano Righini. Full of innovative features, the new 55S makes good use of the space-saving possibilities afforded by a triple Volvo IPS package, including a garage for a 9-foot 4-inch (2.85-meter) tender and an expandable beach club.
Azimut Benetti Group started as Azimut srl, a sailing-boat charter company, in 1969. It wasn’t until the 1980s that it became a boatbuilding brand with its own production. From there, it experienced phenomenal growth. At all of the world’s major boat shows, the group has a large presence with island-style displays and multiple booths, presenting a vast array of boats and yachts, addressing just about any type of motorboat enthusiast’s needs or desires.
The S in S Collection stands for Sportiness. These stylish composite vessels are very comfortable cruising at speeds in the high 30s and in several cases have top speeds exceeding 40 knots. Among their most recognizable stylistic features are the square midship hull-side windows (four or six, according to length). The larger models boast a sun deck elegantly concealed in the sleek profile.
Designed for owners who enjoy longer periods at sea and give priority to environmental concerns and lower fuel consumption, the two models in the Magellano collection offer comfortable and versatile interiors combined with cutting-edge technology and innovative materials that earned the more recent Magellano 50 several awards, including the international powerboating organization UIM’s 2011 environmental award.
Generous volume combined with dynamic lines characterize all models in this collection; from the smallest to the largest, the focus is on lifestyle and livability. Built in composite, these comfortable yachts boast a generous speed that allows for quick jaunts between islands or a few miles off shore in search of quiet anchorage and moorings.
The Azimut Benetti Group holds its 12th annual Yachtmaster event in Perugia, Italy, March 7-10. The annual invitation-only event is open to captains of Azimut Benetti yachts 85 feet and larger and is a great opportunity to network and learn about some of the builder’s latest initiatives and technologies, as well as provide feedback and comments.
