An opportunity to buy a very special Azimut 43 fly. The yacht has been owned for the last nine years by a Monaco based retired engineer businessman. It has been used regularly, gently and exclusively by him and his partner. The maintenance has been to the highest standards with upgrades as required and regular servicing by Cummins engineer. The utterly reliable twin Cummins diesels are simple and inexpensive to maintain despite being among the longest lasting engines available.
The styling is way ahead of its time and the aft deck feels like a much larger yacht. The modern interior is very spacious, achieved by maximum use of the generous beam.
AZIMUT 43 flybridge - this is a well equipped and a very well cared for example of this sought after yacht. Accomodation for six in two cabins plus a convertable salon. There are two substantial en-suite shower/WC's.
Prelimiminary specification - the photos are of the actual vesel apart from the lead photo - full photo e-brochure and video to follow. The vessel was listed for sale on 10th May 2022.

Often forgotten is the great advantage of a flying bridge is having such duplication in the event of a failure. Some years ago, one set of the original engine controls failed during a long cruise. Without the duplicate set it would have been a miserable holiday.The original analogue controls were upgraded to the latest Cummins ones. The two GPS chartplotters are completely independent.
