Azimut 66

2017 Azimut 66 Flybridge | 21.12m | Hong Kong | Twin CAT C18 Acert | 4 Cabins + Crew | Seakeeper Gyro

When Azimut launched the 66 Flybridge, the industry took notice. A landmark model in the Azimut range — replacing both the 62 and 64 — it introduced the brand's first use of carbon fibre construction on a flybridge yacht, deployed intelligently across the radar arch, hardtop, flybridge structure, and foredeck to reduce top-weight while delivering the largest flybridge in the 66-foot class.

The result is a yacht that handles with genuine agility, cruises at 28 knots with ease, and arrives looking like nothing else at the dock. T

his 2017 Hong Kong example presents in excellent condition with only 796 engine hours recorded on her twin CAT C18 Acert powerplants — barely run in for a vessel of this calibre. Notable factory options include a Seakeeper gyro stabiliser, teak-laid flybridge floor, American bar with custom bar stools, hi-lo TV system, wine cooler, and a Raymarine Silver navigation package.

Currently available for inspection in Hong Kong, with worldwide delivery assistance available.

Highlights:

• Full-beam master cabin amidships with panoramic windows, private dinette, and en-suite
• VIP cabin forward with en-suite
• 2x twin/bunk guest cabins
• 3 heads total
• Crew cabin with separate head aft
• Open-plan saloon with L-shaped settee, separate sofa, hi-lo TV system, and wine cooler
• American bar at portside dinette with 2 custom leather swivel stools
• Galley with dishwasher, Miele oven, fridge, and granite-effect worktops
• Dimmer lighting throughout saloon and dining area

The Azimut 66's interior is the work of Carlo Galeazzi — a designer whose instinct for space and light is evident from the first step aboard.

The full-beam saloon is anchored by generous leather seating on both port and starboard, with a hi-lo television system that rises and retreats on command and a wine cooler that says something about the priorities of this yacht's intended life.

The portside American bar, fitted with two custom stainless and leather swivel stools, gives the space a social energy rare at this length. Large panoramic windows and a full-width sliding saloon door dissolve the boundary between interior and cockpit, making the yacht feel considerably larger than its 21 metres suggest.

Below, the full-beam master cabin amidships is a genuine private suite — panoramic windows, a king-size island bed, a private dinette or vanity arrangement, ample wardrobe storage, and a full en-suite with separate shower. The VIP cabin forward mirrors this quality with its own en-suite, while two additional guest cabins complete the accommodation for eight.

A dedicated crew cabin with separate head aft ensures professional separation between owner and crew.

Highlights:

• 28m² flybridge — largest in its class — with L-shaped lounge, helm station, icemaker, and folding bimini
• Co-pilot seat and flybridge helm with Raymarine navigation
• Teak throughout — flybridge, cockpit, swim platform, and side decks
• Hydraulic swim platform for effortless water access
• Cockpit dining table, wet bar with grill, and generous seating
• Large bow sunpad with panoramic sea views
• Seakeeper gyro stabiliser for exceptional underway comfort

The flybridge is the Azimut 66's signature feature — at over 28m², it is the largest in its class and a genuine outdoor living room. The L-shaped Batyline lounge aft can be reconfigured in multiple arrangements, a dining table with teak central insert seats the full party, and an icemaker keeps things effortless. The folding bimini provides shade without permanently enclosing the space, and a co-pilot seat beside the helm means the owner is never isolated from guests when underway.

From here, the views across waters are uninterrupted.

Below the flybridge, the main deck cockpit is a well-organised al fresco dining space centred on a substantial teak table, with access to the wetbar and grill to one side and the saloon's sliding doors to the other. Forward, a large cushioned bow sunpad offers a quieter retreat from the social energy of the flybridge.

The hydraulic swim platform at the stern deploys to water level at the touch of a button, making tender operations and swimming entirely straightforward.

Highlights:

• Twin CAT C18 Acert engines — 1,150hp each, 2,300hp combined
• Engine hours: 796 (per engine) — very low for a 2017 vessel
• Cruising speed: 28 knots | Maximum speed: 32 knots | Range: approx. 800nm at 10 knots
• Seakeeper gyro stabiliser fitted
• Raymarine Silver navigation package
• Carbon fibre construction on hardtop, radar arch, flybridge, and foredeck
• Fuel: 1,030 gal | Water: 264 gal

Twin CAT C18 Acert engines, delivering great performance figures that keep her relevant in any company. With only 796 hours recorded on each engine, the mechanicals are in the earliest phase of their useful life.

A Seakeeper gyro stabiliser is fitted — a factory option that transforms the onboard experience at anchor and underway, and one that buyers in Asian waters particularly appreciate. Also, the carbon fibre construction in key structural areas above deck reduces top-weight, lowers the centre of gravity, and contributes directly to the handling agility this model is known for.

Last, the yacht includes the Raymarine Silver navigation package covering chart plotting, radar, and autopilot essentials. And with a fuel capacity of 1,030 gallons, she supports a range of approximately 800 nautical miles at displacement speeds — ample for extended South China Sea cruising.
