Viewers Take on Azimut

Quality, Value, and Longevity. Keep these 3 items in mind when responding to this. I am a 100 percent Azimut fan, I LOVE everything about these boats, design, style, concept, however I want an owners view. I would like to hear from all of you and give me your take on what you like and what you don’t like about these yachts. Lastly at the end of your post just put a thumbs up, or a thumbs down if you would purchase an Azimut. I plan on buying an Azimut within the next 10 years, however I need to know your opinions. So I ask all of you to answer these few questions. What do you think of Azimuts quality? What do you think of Azimuts value, will the resale be a good return. What do you think of the Life expectancy of an Azimut. Laswtly, Do they over price Azimuts, or are you getting what you pay for?? Would An Azimut say a 50 or 55 be a Yacht YOU would take from Miami to Naussa, or FL to NY????? What other yachts would you the view recommend with the style of Azimut, but could offer a better value, design, and quality? I value all of your comments strongly, please try and answer all of these questions if possible. As always thank you all for your help and input.

This kind of questions comes up from time to time and I think the answers will be the same as if you ask somebody of their favourite colour.

Some like Azimuts and some like Ferrettis, while other have other brands they prefer. In ten years time, Azimut could be the best or the worst yachts, who knows?

The only advice that counts is to find a boat that YOU like and have a surveyor tell you about the quality of that particular boat.

I second Lars' view on this subject.
This is exactly the bottom line with yachts.
Get onboard, get a feel for the boat, check the materials used, check the finishing and have a pro value the technical part.

If you like what you see, buy it.
If the technical part is crap, skip it.

My experience with yachtowners is that they are unlikely to tell the truth about their yacht because it easily could affect the resell value of their investment.

When you buy a car you have the possibility to make a sensible choice.
With yachts you can only go on the facts and your gut feeling, because yacht are all about personal sentiment.
