Description
Well-Looked After. Ideal Summer Cruiser
Few names in the world of luxury Italian motor yachts carry the same weight as Azimut. Founded in 1969, the Azimut Benetti Group has consistently set the benchmark for build quality, design flair, and onboard livability and the Azimut 42 Flybridge is one of the finest expressions of that philosophy. With exterior lines penned by the celebrated Stefano Righini, and a Michael Peters designed, deep-V planing hull delivering a confident, sea-kindly ride, the Azimut 42 remains one of the most sought-after flybridge cruisers in her class, attracting buyers who refuse to compromise on elegance or performance.
This 2004 Azimut 42 is powered by twin Caterpillar 3126 DITA engines - one of the most proven and widely supported diesel powerplants in the marine industry - with a very respectable 1,650 hours recorded, suggesting careful, measured use throughout her life. Her two-cabin, two-head layout makes her an ideal cruiser for couples or small families; while the generous flybridge, spacious cockpit, and well appointed saloon offer the kind of onboard lifestyle that larger yachts aspire to. Complete with Kohler generator, Raymarine navigation suite, bimini, windlass, and well equipped galley, she is ready for the Mediterranean or beyond.
IRISH MIST is a 2004 example presented in great overall condition, currently berthed in Istanbul and available for immediate inspection.
