I like the way he explains some of the shortcomings of headspace and darkness in the room. Not trying to sugar coat things. Thumbs up!
Absolutely hilarious. A British boat show In The middle of summer and it looks like winter!!
Whilst up here north of the Border ,, It's Scorching .. Sunny weather !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Currently 29C and sweltering - the Great British summer always keeps us guessing!
@@MotorBoatYachting it does indeed . i've actually put shorts on today for the first time since 1997!!
Can’t wait to earn entry level wages to buy an “entry level flybridge”
Yh, Entry level wages, entry level oligarchs
Glad I’m not the only one that was fooled by the ‘entry level’ headline…..
okay - I can definitely afford an Azimut coffee cup…
"entry level" 😂.
Great tour, thanks Hugo!
I take your point but Sunseeker’s entry level flybridge is now 55ft!
Nice. Thanks.
Thanks Hugo this was great! 👍 I missed the master bath though.
And the crew cabin
So did we
Nice video Hugo. Thank you for the tour. Congratulations
When you add some extras like seakeeper and co.. count on 1,2 million ex VAT...
I found a few nice second hand ones for 500 to 700 k ... still serious money
very nice tour , thanks
from Spain
A lovely tour and beautiful designed
Nice tour Hugo……. Class built boat with big power 🙂
Thanks 🙏
That's a really nice yacht.
'You can never have too many storage cupboards on a boat like this'
You can when your opening every single 1 of the bloody doors! 😂
That's really a nice yacht
Superb presentation Hugo especially as you were in pain👍 and boat was very cool.
I always let your ads run because you deserve the income but I did have to skip the 12 minute ad in the middle of the tour , bit long that one 🤪.
👍❤️🇬🇧
Thanks for your kind words. Much appreciated
Well said Steve. 👍
Nice boat!
Looking very nice.
I dont know about build quality and sea keeping but the stylish Azimut interiors really make current Sunseekers look like they are built from Ikea Flatpacks
Have to disagree here! no Sunseeker would give you manual windows, and a manually opening hard top section, nor would they only teak half a flybridge lol, and the headroom on this boat and the size of the engine room is just not good at all, watch their vid on the new Manhattan 55, definitely a fair comparison.
@@joshuachapman8641 Nah - Manhattan 55 is a lot more coin than this Azimut. I only its only 5 ft longer but its another class.
Azimut put so much into their boats.Industry leading flybridge size
I disagree azimut its to clustered made for looks instead practicality
@@sun5534 rubbish
@@alangebbie8848 what is rubbish?
@@alangebbie8848 mate in talking from experience I had the azimut 60 sold it for the sun seeker 68
Lekker man lekker
think Nick beat you to this one that's his shoes on the Transum
Are they though?
I mean, where's he hiding on board?
@@MesaperProductions in the chain locker?
@@raydowley1038 It's true that some aquaholics stay in the chain locker....
@@MesaperProductions defo true I have come out of the chain locker as an Aquaholic
No he is hiding in places like this and so forth
Thanks. Good Review. There are always compromises in a boat design ,of course. .. but ...for me they have sacrificed too much space in the engine room to get the larger master cabin forward and the lazarette/ crew cabin space aft....Getting to the inner, let alone the outer sides of the engines for maintenance looks very difficult, particularly with the other kit (generator) crammed in the same space. Engine access is a high priority for me. I think with Azimut, style has a higher priority than practicality.
Love hearing the prices on these. Makes you dream/target goals. Would be great if you can say this is 950k but this one with these extras is X amount. Think it’d be interesting to hear that as I’ve heard you can basically add a 3rd/half again to get it specc’d as you’d like.
*spec'd out
The sound quality is much better, I think that the build quality is great, but think that the layout is a bit strange, i would have put the cutlery under the helm seats as that is much closer to kitchen, love the facilities in terms of freezer etc. The master seems compromised in terms of head room. I would have liked to have seen the bow of the boat and had a walk round. Not a boat for me, but non the less a lovely tour
What boat do you currently have?
@@deltanovember1672 I wish, used to sail as a child and teenager, maybe one day if lottery win happens.
Not sure I'd call a boat that is over $1.3M USD "entry level", maybe for an Azimut although I'd rather go with a Silent-Yacht.
Coffee cups? Those are more like shot glasses!
More living space in the boat than I expected to be honest, I'm going to guess the SeaKeeper is going into the lazarette since there's NO room in the engine compartment LOL
If you think about it a moment, the freezer and washer dryer really _couldn't_ go anywhere else. And there isn't a whole hell of a lot that could have been done with that space anyway.
I believe that the Volvo joystick system is available on almost ALL new boats built with the Penta engines, IPS or not.
Nicely done walk-through sir!
£1.2million base with the VAT seems pricey for a 50ft fly to me.
We're talking about Azimut here, not Beneteau.
Congrats guys for achieving 107k subscribers.
Cheers. Thanks to all who have subscribed
You're getting much better at this Hugo, good indepth tour, just think Azimut need to think things through a little more, engine room is too cramped, headroom is a little lacking which means beds are low and therefore no storage beneath and a sliding door at the helm would be good.
Enjoyed the video, but no sleep or range ???
When you going to review the British made Hardys ...............
No en-suite for the master or did Hugo
Miss it?
I’d guess Hugo missed it!
I thought I’d filmed in a separate take but only realised after I’d got back that the camera wasn’t rolling. I blame the painkillers I was taking for my back! Codeine now back in the bathroom cabinet and new camera with remote mic purchased so no more excuses 😬
@@hugoandreae3495 , Nick Burnham missed one once, so you’re not alone 😁
@@nicbennett6554 yes but that's twice for Hugo now
@@JJ-vy2rh But in his defense, he WAS on meds at the time, so we shouldn't count that one. :P
wonder how much energy is lost using the V drives? the weight at the back means more space for people, but seems bad for sea keeping.
I don't know the price differences between this and sizes similar compared to Sunseeker, Fairline or Princess but they just always seem much more luxurious.
The cockpit on this yacht looks cheap for that kind of money. I guess it's basic but from other boat reviews of similar size I think the other manufacturers go that little bit further with detail on what's on offer. The teak tables look plain too with no detailing.
Not a fan of the headroom either in the cabins but hey, it's just my opinion as a boat enthusiast.
It all seems just a bit too basic for just short a million pounds for 50ft worth of boat.
Loving the videos as always!
CJ
A million gets you in the Club..but just a small table in the back at the Yacht Club.
@1:07. "...fully down...". Fully up(?)
Does the master cabin have its on en suite bathroom?
Yep - sorry we missed it out!
How fast is she
Did I miss it, but I don't remember Hugo saying about top speed and cruising speed?
I didn't hear him say it either. I rather like Nicks reviews/tours a bit better for the technical side of things. According to the Azimut website, with the pair of 725hp Penta engines it will max out at 32kn and cruise at 26 kn. Should have a range of well over 400nm at cruise (581USG/2,200l of fuel).
He didn't but we put it in the description
Any chance of doing the Azimut 53 Fly ?
It's on our list for the Cannes show in September, first we have to navigate the quarantine minefield...
What is this stile of yacht called?
This a flybridge yacht, so called because of the upper deck driving position
I save a few euros here and there, but damn this makes me feel poor af
Lovely boat but give me a Sunseeker every time.
£1.2m inc VAT for a boat, where someone of 6’1” can’t stand at the helm?! Don’t think so!! Also, plates etc aren’t exactly close to the dishwasher - chance of breaking en route I’d say 😵💫
Lovely other than those minor points.
Hugo, thanks for showing us around.
It's pretty standard to have crockery and stemware near the dining tables on the main deck and close to the flybridge steps.
No one "entry level" buys a brand new boat.
I wouldn't be in the least surprised the cupboards is made of plywood and chipboard .. it looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cheap ,
voo.fyi
beaut
Who came up with the design for the flybridge table? The pattern looks like a f'n swastika. Once you see it, it can't be unseen ...
Either that, or they were an old raver! Looks like lots of E's everywhere!
Really "reaching" there!🤦♂️
Nice review and tour but the boat itself to is just kinda blah….
Very poor review. He doesn’t show the front of the boat
Poorly designed / layout. No headroom in galley and helm. Doesn’t even translate into loads of headroom in the master.
