Azimut: A Brief History

Azimut was founded in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli in Avigliana, near Turin, Italy. Initially a charter and yacht brokerage company, Azimut began building its own boats in the 1970s. The company quickly gained a reputation for innovative design and was one of the first to popularise the flybridge motor yacht concept in Europe.

In 1985, Azimut acquired Benetti, a historic Italian shipyard founded in 1873, creating the Azimut-Benetti Group — today the world's largest producer of luxury yachts and superyachts. The group operates shipyards in Avigliana, Viareggio, Livorno, and Savona, producing over 200 yachts per year.

What Makes Azimut Different?

• Italian design: Azimut collaborates with top Italian designers (Achille Salvagni, Stefano Righini) for interiors that are unmistakably Italian — elegant, contemporary, and luxurious.
• Innovation: Azimut was among the first to use carbon fibre in production yachts, reducing weight and improving performance.
• Range: No other brand offers such a complete range — from 40-foot entry-level yachts to 120-foot superyachts — all under one brand.
• Global service: The Azimut-Benetti Group has the largest service network in the luxury yacht industry.

What to Check When Buying a Used Azimut

• Engines: Azimut typically uses MAN, MTU, or Caterpillar diesels. Check hours, service history, and cooling system.
• Hull: Check for stress cracks around the chines and strakes. Azimut hulls are generally well-built but older models may show age.
• Flybridge: Check the flybridge structure for cracks and leaks, especially around the hardtop and windscreen.
• Electrical systems: Azimut yachts have complex electrical systems. Test every system — generator, air conditioning, bow thruster, stabilisers, and electronics.
