The Fleming 65 was introduced in mid 2005 in response to a strong demand for an intermediate Fleming between the 55 and the 75. Her layout is very similar in concept to the 55 but the 65, being around 70% larger in displacement, offers much more interior and deck space than her smaller sibling. Fleming Yachts decided to retain hull number 1 (named Venture) to evaluate her design performance as a well-found cruising yacht as well as providing a test bed for new equipment. Since commissioning in 2005 Tony Fleming has cruised VENTURE more than 60,000 miles along the West Coast of North America from La Paz, Mexico to Juneau, Alaska, back down the Coast to the Sea of Cortez, to the Galapagos Islands, through the Panama Canal, up the East Coast into the Hudson River, Erie Canal and the St. Lawrence Seaway. Along the way Tony has provided the yard with valuable feedback and suggestions that have been incorporated in the 65 production line. Thanks to Tony's extensive testing and evaluation of these refinements, several new items are now available on production models.

We are very proud that a panel of thirteen judges from the Internationally respected 'Yachts' magazine voted the Fleming 65 best yacht in her class, worldwide, for 2006. As of January 2019, 51 Fleming 65's have been built at the highly regarded Tung Hwa yard in Taiwan, which has built every Fleming yacht since they were introduced in 1985.

Overview Continued...

As with all Flemings, special attention has been paid to the ease and safety in which the heavy duty ground tackle is set and retrieved. Originally designed for the Fleming 75, the 65's anchor platform is especially large and robust. The anchor platform accepts two 132 lbs. (60Kg) Ultra anchors, each of which can be controlled by a handheld unit at the platform or by windlass controls at both pilothouse and flying bridge stations. A pair of hydraulically powered Maxwell RC12 vertical windlasses with capstans are standard equipment, as is a 300ft (91m) length of Grade-60 stainless steel chain. 

F65 Foredeck

There are port and starboard storage lockers to each side of the platform base, where salt and freshwater washdown  bibs are located as well as two, 50-amp shorepower inlets which are convenient when docking bow first.

A centerline hatch opens for access to the double chain locker, which is separated from the yacht's interior by a collision bulkhead. The locker can house two 300-foot (91m) lengths of anchor chain and several hundred feet of rode. It is also big enough to stow fenders and extra lines. It drains overboard just above the waterline, keeping the bilge clean and dry. 

A teak caprail and oval shaped stainless steel handrail are standardl. To prevent damage during docking, the handrail is located slightly inboard of the bulwark. Moving aft, the cabin top features four built-in storage lockers, ideal for stowing lines and fenders. The lockers and the deck drains into specially designed, hidden manifolds, which exit just above the waterline, keeping the topside free of dark streaks.

Fleming also pays special attention to the number, position and size of its mooring cleats, and the F65 features four large cleats on both the port and starboard side forward of the deckhouse, making it easy to properly secure the yacht in a variety of situations. Teak or non-skid decking can be ordered for the foredeck. Convenient handrails are located on the forward coach roof, and together with the teak or stainless handrail above the bulwarks, it is safe to move along the foredeck in a seaway.

Protection against heavy weather is provided by the Portuguese Bridge, which features port and stbd gates for access between the foredeck and the side decks. Deck level LED courtesy lighting enhances safety after dark. The aft section of the Portuguese Bridge features built-in storage lockers for a variety of cruising gear.

One of Fleming's signature design features is its wide side decks that enable safe, sure-footed movement from bow to stern while at sea and during docking manoeuvres. Heavy duty, stainless steel handrails are strategically located to minimize risk of injury. For convenient, effortless boarding in a variety of situations, there are port and starboard boarding gates at both the high and low deck levels, for a total of four. For added convenience and safety, these gates open inboard.

Aft Deck and Swim Platform

The large cockpit space is beautifully finished with teak decking for its superior non-skid properties and sound dampening qualities. While many owners prefer to keep this space open for a variety of watersports activities, others use it as an outside dining area. A dining table can be ordered that follows the contour of the transom, with seating for 8.

Access to the area is via a boarding gate in the transom. Adjacent to the gate is a freshwater shower fitting as well as a saltwater washdown bib.

Optional engine and thruster controls can be located in the cockpit cabinet, making backing into a slip a simple procedure. Optional are two warping winches, which are invaluable when docking "Med" style. Two 50-amp CableMaster power cord systems are located in the transom, one on the port side, one starboard.

The engine room air intake vents are located under the port and stbd cockpit coamings to prevent salt spray from entering the engine room.

The flybridge is easily and safely accessed by the 5-step stairway from the pilothouse. The upper helm, located on the port side, is slightly raised to enhance visibility forward and features a Stidd double helm seat and a console for full instrumentation and electronics. A U-shaped settee with storage underneath and dining table that seats 6 is standard.

A number of different arrangements and equipment can be ordered, depending on the owner's intended use of the area. A large deep freeze, various types of barbecue grills, a wet bar, icemaker, refrigerator and extra seating are popular options.

Also optional is a hardtop with a canvas-glass enclosure, which creates additional all-weather living space. Aft of the flybridge area is the boat deck, with space for a 16-foot inflatable yacht tender. A 1,500-lb. (680kg) capacity Steelhead hydraulic davit system is standard as is a freshwater bib and 110 VAC (230 VAC for European version) outlet for keeping the tender's battery charged. The stainless steel safety rail has a removable section for launching a life raft. Typical of Fleming's obsessive attention to details, the boat deck drains to a series of built-in, stainless steel drains connected to a drain manifold system that exits just above the waterline to prevent streaking of the cabin sides and topsides.

Main Salon & Galley

The large, spacious main salon can be built with a number of different arrangements. A dedicated dining area can be located to starboard with a large settee area to port. In place of the dining area, a second settee can be located on the stbd side opposite the main settee. Or, a large, built-in cabinet can be built on the starboard side with lounge chairs facing the main settee. 

A soft, synthetic leather headliner provides a sense of warmth and style, and there is space for a 42" TV on a powered tv lift.

In the aft, port corner, the owner has a choice of a wet bar with refrigerator and wine cooler or more cabinet space with glass doors. Wooden blinds recessed into the window frames are standard. LED lighting is used throughout, including on the inside of most cabinets.

The galley features a 21-cu. ft. side-by-side refrigerator/freezer on the starboard side and a built-in dish cabinet and pantry space. Granite counter tops, an undermount stainless steel double sink, instant hot water dispenser, waste disposal, convection microwave, and Miele induction cooktop are standard. There is room for an optional dishwasher.

Accommodations

A number of layouts are available for the 3-stateroom accommodations area. Most layouts feature a central passageway, which is just 4-steps down from the main salon area. A full beam master cabin layout is also available with access from the pilothosue.

In most cases, the owner's stateroom is located forward and features an island berth that lifts for easy storage beneath, a private head, and two large hanging lockers.

The port guest stateroom can be built with an island double berth, twins or a double with a pull out, single berth over it. Another option, as shown, is to include a pipe berth over the double. This stateroom shares a head with the second guest stateroom, although a 3-head arrangement is also available.

The starboard guest stateroom can be built with two over-under single berths or with one berth and a private head. A popular layout has the owner's cabin to port and a VIP stateroom forward.

A separate washer and dryer is located in the passageway along with a supply closet and slide-out laundry hamper. The entire accommodations area is finished in warm teak with a synthetic leather headliner. 

Engine Room

Accessed from an exterior hatch aft of the salon doors that leads to a submarine-style door, the engine room is signature Fleming - well thought out, extremely functional and beautifully finished. Standard power is a pair of MAN i6-800 hp diesel engines, and MAN V8-1,000 HP engines are optional. There is room for two  generators, and most owners choose to install two, one with a smaller output for use during moderate power requirements and one larger unit when more power is called for.

To achieve the extremely low sound and vibration that Flemings are well known for, the Aquadrive system isolates the engine and transmission from the propeller thrust, permitting the use of much softer engine mounts. Aquadrive is fitted as standard and their rotating couplings are concealed beneath fiberglass covers for safety. The engine mounts are installed on full-length, polished stainless steel channel sections, a system that has been standard on all Flemings since their inception in 1985.

An intelligently designed and meticulously executed fuel management system takes all the guesswork out of transferring fuel and making sure each engine is being properly fed. The system makes it impossible to overfill a tank by switching a fuel return valve the wrong way.

The arrangement of all mechanical systems has been done with the need for proper maintenance in mind. Every piece of equipment is accessible, and there are places for mechanics to stand and place their tools without damaging vital gear. An optional engine room air conditioning system is available, a detail that will not go unnoticed by the vessel's mechanic.

The aft lazarette houses the water tanks, steering gear and air conditioning compressors while also leaving ample room for storing cruising gear such as spare anchors, rode, lines, fenders and parts.

Main access is through the outside engine room hatch and down a set of curved stainless and teak steps. There are two additional cockpit hatches that allow quick access to stowed gear. Two freshwater pumps are installed and plumbed, providing instant switchover capability in case of failure.

The Fleming 65 pilothouse is the nerve center of the vessel and can be completely separated from the activities throughout the rest of the yacht by its bi-panel teak door. The day head to starboard can also be ordered as a "wet-head" complete with shower, and an insert for the settee creates a convenient watch berth. This arrangement allows the pilothouse to be used as an extra cabin when necessary. Either one or two Stidd helm chairs can be installed, and a raised settee and table provide additional seating for four.

The forward console area has been designed to accommodate a full array of today's modern electronics, and easy accessibility has been built in to allow for service and eventual upgrades. The electrical distribution panels are below the main controls and are hinged and illuminated for access and service.

Visibility forward and to port and stbd is excellent, and two sliding doors open to the wide side decks. A traditional teak and holly sole is standard. There are large drawers and working space for charts, cruising books, navigation instruments, binoculars, cell phones and chargers, log books, flashlights and everything else a captain needs to chart and follow a safe course. A large stainless steel and teak-trimmed destroyer steering wheel fits the ambience of this ultimate cruising yacht.

There is an ongoing process at Fleming Yachts to constantly refine our designs and incorporate improvements to each and every vessel we build. By focusing on a limited number of models Flemings have become known as "The Ultimate Cruising Yachts" We invite you to see a Fleming up close at one of our dealers or to visit us at one of the many boat shows we attend.

NORDHAVN 60

Nordhavn 60.

The Nordhavn 60 boasts the same roomy interior as the N55, but gives owners an additional 5 feet of space in the cockpit and lazarette, allowing more room for activities like diving, fishing and dockside parties with family and friends. The longer cockpit also allows the boat deck to be extended for a larger tender and more room for sea kayaks, jet skis and other toys. An additional benefit is a speed gain of about a third of a knot and an improvement in range thanks to the longer waterline of the N60.

Like the popular N55, the N60 is available in single or twin-engine configurations along with an optional additional fuel tank for increased range. Inside you can expect the craftsmanship and attention to detail to be flawless – a cornerstone of Nordhavn’s promise of comfort and luxury afloat.

Finally, the extra length of the N60 extends her lines to give the yacht a sleeker big-boat look. The N60 is all about more – more room, more luxury and more long-distance cruising enjoyment.

Lazzarini Design is no stranger to an outrageous yacht concept. Last year, the Italian manufacturer unveiled a bonkers flying superyacht design and followed it up with a visually stunning 226-foot concept with a massive hole in its center. Its newest creation brings that distinct sense of fun down to an approachable scale.

Dubbed the Royal Alpha One , the family-friendly design is 60 feet long and includes a rooftop deck with a glass-bottomed hot tub. Its striking green, black and silver exterior is made of glass and carbon fiber, while its interior is handsomely furnished with an array of leather upholstery and light-washed woods. You’ll find three ensuite staterooms, as well as a luxe dining room onboard.

And don’t let its size fool you: this concept falls directly in line with Lazzarini’s larger high-powered yachts . The Royal Alpha One was designed with Volvo ‘s IPS 950 propulsion system in mind, according to HiConsumption . In that configuration, the vessel could reach a top speed of 40 knots. There’s also the option to upgrade to a hydrogen propulsion system that ensures zero carbon emissions.

Fans of the Rome-based design house will know it’s led by Pierpaolo Lazzarini. The 40-year-old Italian designer spent years in the automotive field before launching the company and believes in “a different design approach,” according to the team’s website. To create these one-of-a-kind yacht concepts, the studio—which also creates cars—works with customers on everything from animation to texturing, as well as programming and engineering via the use of the latest 3-D tech.

It’s unlikely you’ll be able to purchase the eye-catching Royal One Alpha today, but keep your eyes on the Lazzarini website for more details. Check out more images of the yacht below.

First look: Oceanis Yacht 60 – new bluewater flagship

• Rupert Holmes
• March 1, 2022

The new Oceanis Yacht 60 from Beneteau is a stylish and bluewater friendly new flagship model for the French yard

Beneteau’s new flagship, the Oceanis Yacht 60, is the yard’s third model to come out of the collaboration with Lorenzo Argento and Roberto Biscontini that started with the First Yacht 53 three years ago. Their brief for the company’s third generation yacht of this size was to create a sturdy and stylish bluewater friendly vessel with a very high standard of interior finish, including plenty of solid wood joinery.

“They have given us a new way of working and a new perspective,” Beneteau’s Valentin Moreau tells me, “so this boat is very different to the smaller models in the Oceanis range and to the Oceanis Yacht 62 it replaces.”

The design philosophy follows on from that of the First Yachts 53 and the Oceanis Yachts 54, which share the same hull design. The new Oceanis Yacht 60 has proportionately slightly fuller forward sections shape, but it’s by no means extreme in that respect. As with the smaller models, whose hull was originally developed as a performance cruiser, Biscontini opted for a transom with lots of flare and low waterline beam, rather than wide stern sections with marked chines. At the same time, there is more rocker in the aft sections below the waterline.

The combined effect is to reduce wetted surface area to an extent that will markedly boost light airs performance, at the expense of a very small loss of speed when power reaching or in marginal surfing conditions.

Exterior styling is very similar to the Oceanis Yacht 54, including the standard mainsheet arch, low freeboard, low profile coach roof and a hint of reverse sheer. Yet, although hull length is 70cm less than the old 62-footer, overall interior volume remains the same and there’s more space in the owner’s suite. This was achieved in part through abandoning a completely level cabin sole throughout the boat, which wastes a lot of volume below the floor. Instead, there’s a modest step down from the saloon to the forward galley and to the aft cabins, which therefore retain good headroom despite the reduced freeboard.

These changes helped save a whopping five tonnes of weight, yet the sail area remains very similar to that of the previous model. Together with the reduced wetted service area this will transform the sailing experience.

Near level walk around deck layouts have become de rigour for many of today’s new yachts. In this case there are only two 7cm high steps between the transom and the bow, one alongside the guest cockpit and the other near the mast.

However the need for any deck work is kept to a minimum thanks to fitting Harken’s Unwind winching system as standard. This uses electric winches to both wind in and to ease a line, which means the trim of mainsail and jib can be completely controlled from the consoles at each helm station.

Much thought has gone into the ergonomics of these, with a conscious effort to ensure drivers feel protected. The steering positions are therefore inboard of a substantial coaming and benefit from large helm seats with high backrests. The 1.1 m diameter of the wheels are larger than average, but it’s still possible to reach the two pairs of coaming mounted electric winches if necessary.

Argento has also stamped his clean minimalist style on the interior, where attention to detail includes concealed lighting and switches. The saloon is full width, with lots of overhead hatches for natural light and ventilation. A big L-shaped navigation centre, with a leather designer swivelling chair, is clearly aimed at those who work from home while on board. This will be Beneteau’s first model with a full width forward galley. It offers plenty of space and was designed to maximise both stowage volumes and worktop space.

The forward owners cabin occupies a third of the length of the interior, with privacy and soundproofing prioritised. The en suite is therefore at the back of this area, against the main bulkhead, while the bed faces forward, which means it can’t be seen when the door to the galley/saloon is open. It’s a novel layout, but has obvious appeal and also provides more stowage space than conventional arrangements.

This model boat also comes with Beneteau’s Ship Control system, which has been rolled out across all models, as standard. This allows all aspects of the boat to be managed from an app or MFDs when on board, and also from home thanks to the on-board mobile data connection. It’s also available for retrofitting to existing craft.

The first Oceanis 60 is scheduled to be launched in Les Sables d’Olonne in July this year, in advance of a public launch at the Cannes boat show in September. Pricing won’t be released until then.

BALANE AND BEAUTY

“THE S60 SEDAN MOTOR YACHT INHERITS THE LATEST SWEEPING CONTOURS, AND STRIKINGLY BALANCED EXTERIOR FORM, MADE SYNONYMOUS WITH THE MARITIMO S-SERIES. AN IMMENSITY OF COCKPIT DECK, AND ADVENTURE DECK SPACE CATERS TO A VAST RANGE OF ENTERTAINING, RELAXATION, OR ADVENTURING ACTIVITIES”.

Tom Barry-Cotter Director of Design

The Maritimo S-Series sedan motor yacht has long been renowned for catering to a practical single level boating lifestyle. Socializing and entertaining flow seamlessly inside and outside from the upper cockpit to saloon on a singular level.

An important design consideration from the Maritimo design team are the proportions of deck and accommodation spaces, acting on Maritimo owner’s feedback on where those onboard enjoy spending most of their time.

It is for that reason that Maritimo has heavily emphasised the amount of space within these areas, by creating bias to the amount of rear deck space when addressing the overall proportions of the exterior design.

The result is a stunningly balanced exterior profile, with an immensity of cockpit deck, and adventure deck space with the ability to cater to a vast range of entertaining, relaxation, or adventuring activities.

REIMAGINED DECK SPACES

The reimagined adventure deck and lower cockpit space offers a fully lined 3.2m tender garage beneath, whilst the large alfresco upper cockpit provides considered and versatile living space. Deep walk-around decks with minimal steps provide safe and easy accessibility for the whole family.

HARDTOP UTILITY DECK

Maritimo’s design division has maximised the practical deck spaces onboard the S60 by enabling the often un-used sedan hardtop to be accessed from the upper cockpit deck via overhead hatch and ladder, in order for the hardtop to be utilised as a utility deck space.

SOPHISTICATED SALOON

Maritimo’s aft galley seamlessly connects the upper cockpit deck and the enormous saloon lounging area. Injecting light and air to the saloon and flybridge is the option of Maritimo’s unique two-stage vista sliding windows which transform the areas into an indoor/outdoor escape.

ALLURING ACCOMMODATION

Below deck free-flowing spaces utilize the hull’s volume, maximising height and minimising the number of steps. Three spacious staterooms and two ensuites are on offer, with full-beam king master stateroom, offset queen forward stateroom, and twin single starboard guestroom.

LOCAL EXPERTISE

For new yacht sales and our service operation in the Americas, visit our offices in the heart of the US East coast sailing scene, Newport, Rhode Island. We would be delighted to help.

Sleek, elegant lines and superyacht inspired features of the 565 epitomises the iconic style and spirit of Oyster yachts.

Oyster style and performance

The oyster 565 is amongst the best 60 foot yachts for sale, built using the most robust marine design and technology available and specified well-beyond normal requirements, to withstand the toughest of environments..

The 57 foot hull of the 565 is designed, engineered and certified to meet Lloyd’s Register Certification and constructed using the highest quality materials. It features a reinforced, monolithic composite structure for superior strength, stiffness and weight-optimisation, with further reinforcement in the slam zones and keel area.

Incorporating the latest nautical and domestic technology, every element from the hull, winches, through to the generator and door hinges are specifically specified for performance, strength and longevity. The levels of finish and luxury are of the highest standards thanks to the skill of our designers and master craftspeople. Every detail of the Oyster 565, from the strength of the hull, down to the smallest fixing, has been considered for outstanding robustness and seaworthiness to give you complete confidence at sea.

Oyster’s DNA runs through the length and breadth of the 565’s sleek lines. Naval architect Rob Humphreys-designed twin rudder hull form creates a longer waterline, delivering meaningful power and balance.

Packed with features cascaded down from our larger yachts – from the signature triple Seascape windows to the optional superyacht inspired hydraulic bathing deck, the 565 is a true luxury 60 foot sailboat for sale. The instantly recognisable deck saloon offers the perfect place for guests to relax under sail or at anchor. Twin helm stations are centrally located aft of the cockpit and with concealed lines, together with flush fore and aft decks, moving around is safe and easy, while providing ample space for entertaining.

The Oyster 565 is a joy to sail shorthanded or with a crew.

Designed for fast cruising, this 60 foot sailing yacht has an impressive turn of speed. The standard push-button in-mast furling, with a fractional-rigged sail plan, make her easily manageable in any conditions.

Twin helm positions house the intuitive powered sailing controls and navigation equipment, with electric winches in easy reach. A fixed bowsprit accommodates a choice of asymmetric sails and the 105% overlapping headsail. Her wide-beam aft and twin rudders make her sure-footed and well-balanced in boisterous seas, yet light, direct and agile on the helm. On long passages, she ticks off the miles effortlessly and when arriving safely at your destination, her optional, powerful, retractable bow and stern thrusters make her simple to manoeuvre – spin her on her keel and slide into the tightest berths.

The exceptional volume below decks offers the opportunity to create stylish contemporary interiors that make a real home from home.

Contemporary luxury and comfort

The interior of the oyster 565 offers an expansive sense of space not normally found on a 60 foot sailing yacht, thanks to the volume created by her generous beam..

Well-appointed throughout, the social spaces, galley and cabins are all well-proportioned, comfortable and luxurious, while being eminently practical. With materials, fixtures and fittings carefully considered, from the mood lighting system to the saloon table, optional day bed and intuitively positioned grab rails – everything is specified to the highest standard. Oyster’s attention to detail reveals itself in everything from the beautiful handcrafted cabinetry, hand-assembled wiring loom, to the rubber mounted wooden floors that eliminate floorboard creaks. With a choice of versatile cabin layouts, there is space for up to six guests and on extended ocean passages the versatile work room doubles as a cabin for an additional crew member.

Oysters are a platform for adventure, designed to take you anywhere in the world in luxury, comfort and safety.

Informed by decades of owner adventures, the Oyster 565, the best 60 foot sailboat, is a liveaboard yacht designed for long periods at sea. Every inch has been considered to provide a welcoming environment, extensive stowage and easy access for maintenance.

On deck, a convenient forward sail locker and a full width lazarette aft provide excellent stowage. Down below, the heavily cored hull creates a real sense of peace and calm, a safe haven in heavy weather. Home luxuries include full-sized appliances in the longitudinal galley, which is well designed and equipped for cooking at sea. The saloon is light and spacious, with excellent natural ventilation from the forward opening saloon windows and optional air conditioning. The generous cabins, quality, deep mattresses, island berths, mirrors, cedar lined wardrobes and en suites create living spaces that are relaxed and comfortable.

All new Oysters feature technology you would expect and the 565 is no exception.

Equipped with a variety of convenient and connected tech, living aboard is easier, more enjoyable and safer than ever before. From Infotainment systems, wireless sound and sophisticated mood lighting, through to optional internet, WIFI and enhanced navigation systems, the 565 delivers on technology we take for granted. The dedicated navigation station in the heart of the saloon is the technology hub, featuring a optional PC, lift-top desk; plotter; VHF radio; power management; generator control; switchboard; and plenty of power sockets. It doubles as the ideal work-aboard space and is home to the Oyster Command™ system – Oyster’s intuitive digital switching system which connects everything including entertainment, utilities, lighting and monitoring systems. It can also be accessed from the helm station and additional touchscreens can be fitted in cabins as an optional extra.

Time Machine

The launch of the GB60 marks the moment when the past caught up with the future – our history of luxury and style was re-imagined with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The result is a long-distance cruiser that is the most fuel-efficient in its class, capable of a high cruise speed (80%) of 22 knots and a range of over 2000 nautical miles at 10 knots. Exceptionally comfortable on board while uniquely comfortable on the water, the GB60 is truly a game changer.

Cruise Speed

Cruising range.

CUTTING EDGE

The sharp lines of our proprietary V-Warp hull ensure that the GB60 has the softest ride imaginable in all conditions. Inspired by the ocean racing yachts on which our CEO has forged an illustrious career, the V-Warp is the lightest, strongest and fastest hull on any long-distance cruiser of this size. The combination of fine entry and 8 degree deadrise at transom delivers stability, manoeuvrability and unsurpassed fuel economy as she cuts effortlessly through the waves instead of clambering up and over them.

Hi-Tech, High Style

While family and friends kick back and enjoy the lavish amenities of the GB60, the helmsman will be enjoying a similarly relaxing time. On the direct drive option, the combination of twin-disc electronic controls and express joysticks delivers a phenomenally smooth response on open waters and fingertip handling at low speeds – essential for navigating crowded marinas and narrow slips. In tricky conditions, the Express Positioning system can lock onto your GPS co-ordinates and hold you rock steady while you attend to other matters on board.

It’s another world!

We’re not mass manufacturers, we’re craftsmen. Each boat is a collaboration between our designers, technicians and customers. Your GB60 will reflect your values, taste, needs and style – designed for day trips as well as long-distance cruising, it can be your world for weeks on end. But it will also reflect our values. As detail fanatics, we use only the finest book matched teak, the most luxurious fabrics and premium quality components, many of which we make ourselves.

Specifications

Designers Roberto Biscontini and Lorenzo Argento have created a world of refinement in this 60-footer ocean-cruising yacht.

With a hull length of almost 18 metres, the Oceanis Yacht 60 has a remarkable and sophisticated silhouette while preserving its elegant design and excellent marine qualities.

EXTERIOR DESIGN

The new cockpit layout provides a sense of ease and security: access to the foredeck is at the same level via deep side decks.

The two helm stations have been optimised so that all manoeuvres can be carried out without leaving the helm. On-board systems such as  Ship Control  and  Seanapps  provide control of all on-board systems and allow for easy maintenance.

The bimini is available in 2 configurations. The rigid version has a central section wich slides forward to adjust the amount of cover in the cockpit. The crew will therefore always find the best compromise between protection and ventilation.

The generous dinghy garage holds a 2.8 m jet-propelled tender. This tender is operated by an electric winch with a double wire system and guiding rollers to make it effortless to launch and raise.

INTERIOR DESIGN

The galley, positioned in the centre of the boat, extends across the entire width: on the port side, storage and refrigeration; on the starboard side, the sink, the oven and the dishwasher. There is substantial storage space and an innovative worktop layout.

The large saloon where six people can seat around the table facing the relaxation area with its soft sofa. The curved chart table allows the navigator to participate in all the discussions on board. 

Available in a 3-cabin version with 3 heads, the Oceanis Yacht 60 comes with two different finishes: walnut as standard and light oak on option. Many moulded wood features blend harmoniously with large lacquered white surfaces and are matched with exclusive upholstery. Together they create a distinctly stylish atmosphere.

The luxurious and relaxing owner's cabin offers privacy and a stunning view of the sea. The bed is only revealed on the starboard side once you have passed the private head, which is equipped with ample storage space.

2 trim levels

Walnut standard and light oak optional.

Main points

Spacious and bright interior

You are met with a great deal of space and light as you go down the companionway, and an overall impression of larger proportions.

Circulation on deck

Extensive side decks run round the helm stations offering obstacle-free seamless circulation to the fore deck.

Secure and equipped cockpit

The huge cockpit makes for extra safety and easy movement. The owner can carry out all the usual manoeuvres without leaving the helm.

A connected boat

The mobile application, Seanapps , and its onboard unit lets you view the status of the boat's various systems (battery charge, fuel or water tank levels, maintenance scheduling) via your smartphone, as well as planning your route or reviewing your sailing status using your mobile phone.

The warm and welcoming full-beam Owner’s Suite captures the contemporary and suspends it in time, the perfect sanctum for longer stays at sea. Chosen with care and attention to detail, the distinctive palette of materials ranges from a Viennese straw, adorning the furniture, to the softly textured fabric behind the headboard. The interior design and decoration in this room are intended to envelop the owner in an oasis of wellbeing.

OUR ADVANCED TOOLKIT

Exploring new frontiers, getting to know places of pristine nature and crystal clear waters also means trying to reduce emissions. For this reason, the R&D office of the Azimut|Benetti Group brings to the Magellano 60 the high-efficiency semi-planing Dual Mode hull designed to optimize fuel consumption and emissions, especially at low and medium speeds.

Furthermore, the Dual Mode hull guarantees safety by satisfying a variety of needs, starting with seaworthiness: characterized by a marked deadrise at the bow, the hull allows smooth passage over the waves and has all the qualities to handle variable weather and sea conditions at a range of speeds.

Equipped with shaft-line propulsion, the crossover can comfortably cruise at 18 knots and reach up to 26, ensuring performance and comfortable navigation for guests on board.

Magellano 60 is the first yacht powered by HVOlution , the biofuel produced by Eni Sustainable Mobility with 100% renewable raw materials*. The combined effect of the Dual Mode hull and biofuel has made it possible to achieve a reduction in CO2 emissions well-to-wake exceeding -80% compared to a yacht of comparable size powered by fossil diesel, confirming the effectiveness of the path charted by Azimut.

* Pursuant to the Directive UE 2018/2001 “REDII”.

60 foot yacht: a guide to buying your next yacht.

• November 19, 2018

Boaters often look to make the move from a smaller vessel to a 60 foot yacht when they seek to expand the possible boating excursions available to them. While simple day outings remain doable, yachts in this size range also offer the ability to travel further, the option to host more guests and the enjoyment of a myriad of amenities.

A yacht in the 60 foot range is also approaching the upper end of the owner/operator range as most owners in the 70 foot and up range typically do not operate the yacht themselves.

Buying a 60 foot yacht likely involves more decisions than a smaller vessel. For instance, the larger the vessel, the more important build quality becomes. Additionally, yacht type, cruising speed and yacht propulsion should all be considered. We’ll cover each of these items in this guide.

A 60 foot yacht can come in a number of different types and identifying your desired yacht type is a great starting point. While yacht type nomenclature can vary in different parts of the world, we’ll stick to the broader classification of an express yacht versus a flybridge yacht.

The express yacht (sometimes referred to as express cruiser or sports cruiser) refers to a yacht with a single deck above the hull and living space below. These yachts are often sporty and sleek looking.

Within the express category, the vessels can vary further. For example, a “Mediterranean” style yacht can often be referred to as an open express yacht and is characterized by maximum space for sun and little to no shade on the deck. The open express is contrasted with a typical hard top express which typically offers a semi-enclosed or fully-enclosed space for the operator.

While the express yacht emphasizes a two-deck layout, the flybridge yacht (sometimes referred to as a sedan bridge or a sport bridge) is a yacht that includes an additional space above the main deck, often with seating and a control station. Due to the flybridge above, the main deck on these vessels often includes an enclosed space and living quarters below.

The flybridge space can be open air or enclosed and can include a hard top depending on the yacht.

Yacht Propulsion

As you make investment decision regarding your new or used 60 foot yacht, it’s important to consider the propulsion types available today.

Most boat owners are familiar with inboard propulsion. Straight shaft inboard propulsion is the traditional form of propulsion you’ll find in boating. It involves a rear-facing engine connected to a transmission and a driftshaft that comes out of the bottom of the boat. V-drive inboard yachts have forward facing motors, positioned further back, with a transmission that redirects the driveshaft toward the back of the vessel. With the engines further back in the V-drive systems, interior cabin space can be further maximized.

Pod drive propulsion is the alternative to shaft drive propulsion, and since the  Volvo Penta pod drive system  debuted back in 2005, yacht owners have been intrigued by the benefits that such systems offer. Pod drives are a power system that is without shafts, struts and rudders. Instead of a traditional shaft-based system, one or more self-contained “pods” transfer the engine’s power into thrust.

The main benefits of a pod drive system are better fuel economy, increased handling and performance, less noise, less vibration, joystick docking and position fixing. It’s important to note that pod drive systems are typically more expensive and require certified technicians for servicing. With that said, however, with enough use, the fuel savings gained by using the pod system can, at least in part, make up for the additional investment that pod drive systems require.

Should you find yourself with additional questions regarding pod drive systems or other propulsion systems, please feel free to ask questions to our experienced yacht brokers.

New or Used?

Choosing between a new and used 60 foot yacht is another major consideration as you plan your purchase. A new build obviously comes with a higher price tag, but the features, amenities and configuration can be tailored to your exact desires. Moreover, a new build offers the opportunity to include all the latest technology that might be available in the yacht industry.

Whether purchasing a new or a used yacht, Tom George Yacht Group can help you acquire the perfect vessel for you, your family and your lifestyle. Below are some of the featured new yachts that Tom George Yacht Group can offer in this size range. Additionally, you can  browse the available used yachts on the market by clicking here .

It’s also built to wow inside, with a remarkably spacious 3-stateroom / 2-head arrangement or choice of optional tackle center or third head.  Click here to learn more about the Hatteras GT59 .

Hatteras M60

A perfect choice for an owner-operator because of its ease of use and intuitive operation, the 60 over delivers on every feature for an experience that follows suit. By design, the entire layout below and above deck feels more spacious than you would expect.  Click here to learn more about the Hatteras M60 .

Hatteras GT65 Carolina

The new GT65 Carolina will replace the GT63 and signals a new design direction, enhanced performance and custom features for clients seeking an alternative to either a custom builder or other competitors’ ordinary off-the-shelf boats. The first renderings of the new Hatteras GT65 reveal a sleek profile that refreshes the look of the GT Series while still maintaining its core Hatteras DNA. Its new flybridge arrangement features an ergonomically-designed console that puts all the controls within easy reach.

Inside luxury yacht bedrooms.

Published 26 March 2021

See inside some of our luxury yacht bedrooms with our virtual tours

Step inside our virtual yacht tours to immerse yourself in a 360-degree world of yacht bedroom interiors where split levels, en suites, private living rooms and observation decks beckon.

DOUBLE DOWN

Accommodating an impressive 20 guests in nine spacious cabins spread across five decks, 65m luxury yacht DOUBLE DOWN wraps space and privacy around stylish amenities. 

Master bedroom: design inspiration and features

A dedicated owner’s suite occupies the entire upper deck comprising a full-beam bedroom, study and private terrace complete with lounge area, bar and games table.

Guest bedrooms: design inspiration and features

High gloss wood panelling runs throughout the generous guest cabins, all serviced by dedicated en suites and paired with an aft, climate-controlled winter garden with room enough for 18 guests to dine.

HER DESTINY

Offering a whiter shade of pale inside and out, HER DESTINY is a lesson in using minimalist design to maximum effect. Reflective ceilings and large windows create a light and airy ambience.

Subtle strip lighting, silver veined marble and accents of grey transform a master bedroom and bathroom en suite into a zen retreat for the ultimate superyacht bedroom.

Pristine design is at the heart of Her Destiny’s neutral, white tones, in which three guest cabins and a children's cabin with four single berths accommodate friends and family.

HER DESTINY has been renamed ANGKALIA.

LADY MICHELLE

LADY MICHELLE’s expansive sun deck with large jacuzzi and sheltered gym is paired with an open air cinema for starlit movie nights, and timeless Lalique fixtures.

The stunning, two-level master suite takes in a private observation deck for those keen to drink in sprawling vistas or wake to a tropical sunrise.

Fresh from a 2020 refit, nautical features abound in a yacht interior conceived by Stefano Natucci that prizes detail and space, with a bridge deck VIP and six sumptuous guest cabins.

LADY MICHELLE has been renamed NEXT CHAPTER.

Sleek and sporty AQUAMARINA takes design inspiration from her name with a striking metallic turquoise exterior and a Cristiano Gatto interior to match.

Italian prestige rules in a spacious master suite with private office on the main deck. Luxurious silks, metallic mosaics and artisanal inlaid wooden panels abound.

Drink in 180-degree views from the comfort of a vast bed in the impressive VIP bridge deck suite with windows on to the water. A further four cabins accommodate a total of 12 guests.

BARBARA sports an award-winning interior, where rejuvenation and entertainment permeate six levels, from the lower deck spa to the sun deck wellness centre with jacuzzi, gym and sun pads.

Key to the stylish split owner's suite is a double height study with port and starboard folding balconies and double height glass sliding doors – a rare treat on this impressive 88m boat.

Comfortably accommodating 12 guests, BARBARA appeals at every turn. Key features include an aquarium that mirrors an aquatic reef and an outdoor cinema for silver screen enthusiasts.

Inside secret: Iconic designers on how to create a great yacht interior

Light? Proportion? Comfort? Every great designer has their own take on yacht interior design , says Claire Wrathall...

Ask any yacht designer of note what the secret of a great interior is and, almost without exception, they will tell you it comes down to how the space is planned. “Superyacht designs are created from the inside out,” says Terence Disdale , of Terence Disdale Design. “Form follows function, practicality is combined with elegance. The superstructure styling is created to form a timeless envelope that encases the function of the vessel.”

In essence, this means that every single element of the structure and interior decoration is considered: absolutely nothing is designed on a whim. “The positioning of windows, for instance, is determined by what goes on within; the dining room window will be lined up with the centre of the dining table,” explains Disdale.

A good designer will consider practicality for the crew as well as the client, says Andrew Winch , of Winch Design . “We’ll be liaising with captains throughout the build who offer insights into operations – what will help the crew carry out tasks more efficiently, or what might prove problematic in terms of set-up,” he says. Disdale agrees, citing the example of  Kibo , where the windows in the guest cabins have a discreet track in the recess above them to make it easier for the crew to keep the glazing clean. “The windows are cleaned every morning so you have to take things like this into account,” he says. “The everyday functioning of the boat has to be paramount, but this doesn’t mean the finished design detail has to suffer.”

Superyacht design presents challenges far beyond those faced in land-based projects. First, there are the strict rules and regulations set by Private Yacht Compliance and similar industry codes, Disdale’s analogy being that “you cannot think outside the box; you have to design inside the box with whatever creativity you have”.

Second, you’re dealing with an object that moves. As Francesca Muzio, co-founder of the Milan-based practice FM Architettura d’Interni , explains, aside from this requiring interior items to be safely fixed, it can affect the use of materials on board. “In a house, the direction of light and the views remain the same. But a yacht will change direction several times a day, so the play of light and shadows on surfaces and materials will alter constantly and needs to be taken into consideration," she says.

“On one 65 metre yacht we had very big windows and the light was really strong, and we realised when we were choosing the fabrics that we needed to use three-dimensional fabrics.” Without texture, she counsels, textiles can “look really flat”. Lighting, generally, plays a crucial role not least because, says Muzio, “on a yacht it’s not just a matter of fitting spotlights and table lamps and hanging chandeliers. You have to consider the colour of the light very carefully. One kelvin [the unit of measurement used to describe the colour of a specific light source] too much or too little can more or less destroy a project.” No surprise, then, that her 25-strong team includes a specialist lighting designer.

Giorgio Armani also warns against admitting too much light into a yacht interior, especially in “the parts where people really live, the most private parts”. For his own 65 metre Codecasa -built yacht  Maìn , he “came up with the idea of creating bulkheads from the navigation deck to the flying bridge with a type of venetian blind – louvres – made of birchwood,” he told  Boat International  in 2015. These “prevent strong sunlight at sea bouncing off the water and coming in violently, giving the interior a muffled appearance”. The blinds run in a continuous line through the length of the boat, the intended effect of which “is that  Maìn  looks as if she has no walls. [And] you can see the whole panoramic view from inside.”

For Disdale, panoramic views are not all they’re cracked up to be. “A glass box is also just a room full of curtains after dark; there’s fewer walls to hang things on to create the interior mood,” he says. Setting an interior mood is important and, when asked how to create it, almost every designer will tell you it has nothing to do with style and everything to do with how the space is planned.

“Comfort is definitely as important as the visual side,” says Sabrina Monteleone , the founder and president of Sabrina Monte-Carlo . “Everyone thinks design is a matter of aesthetics, but in reality it is about experience.” As to the décor, Monteleone contends that “harmony is key. Whether the style is contemporary or classic, it is important everything blends in, especially the indoor and outdoor areas. Most owners spend most of their days outside; there shouldn’t be a huge contrast between the two spaces.”

In a similar vein, two of the highest-profile newcomers to yacht interior design, Milan-based Antonio Citterio and Patricia Veal’s Citterio-Viel & Partners and the Italian architect and designer Piero Lissoni, of Lissoni Associati , have each favoured open-plan interiors for the Sanlorenzo yachts they have designed, and both have opted to furnish these free-flowing spaces with furniture of their own ranges.

As Muzio has observed, “clients say they want timelessness, quality, elegance”. The challenge is to make interiors that are timeless but also innovative: owners are not content with a cookie-cutter replica, no matter how luxurious in design. The inimitable Philippe Starck sees it as his duty to be pioneering in his projects, “to bring something new and interesting to advance civilisation. When you copy, you regress.”

The first step in creating something unique is customisation. “I don’t source pieces from the market,” says Italian designer Achille Salvagni, explaining that by designing everything himself, he can imbue each piece with a narrative of its own. “I never sketch for the sake of it. I’m interested in more than just the beauty of shapes. I prefer to create pieces that embody or evoke a story,” he says.

By assuming control down to the last detail to create “fully bespoke” interiors, he not only achieves what he calls “a very rich standard that few designers can reach”, but ensures the correct balance in terms of the size of pieces in a scheme. “You can change your perceptions of scale by putting a big piece of furniture in a small space, or by furnishing a big space with very small furniture. In playing with proportions, you can change the balance and transform a space into something quite fresh and new.”

Starck is also preoccupied with proportions and whether they are in “harmony”. “On many boats, the proportions aren’t human,” he says, expressing mystification that on most yachts the principal outdoor living space is to the rear of the superstructure rather than in front of it. On the futuristic 119 metre  Motor Yacht A , which was launched in 2008, he says: “My goal was to make the people who will be on board live, like the old Indians said, ‘in the light’.” Hence a huge single-span main saloon that extends from the aft deck to the fore: “a beautiful volume, designed to always have the best place, depending on the weather, the sun or your mood”.

His preoccupation with light also explains the myriad gleaming surfaces he deployed throughout its interiors: mirror, crystal, subtly shiny white stingray hide and, most splendidly of all, a scalloped silver-leaf relief that helps to illuminate the walls of the principal spiral staircase.

Salvagni also favours silvery reflective wall coverings in some of his projects. He has, for example, used panels of subtly reflective alpaca, a silvery alloy of copper, nickel and zinc, which reminds him of antique French and Venetian mirrors, but is more often used in the manufacture of cutlery. He also likes to accent walls panelled in brushed stained oak by insetting narrow panels of gilded brass with textured finishes. In one example he hadn’t an appropriate tool to get the pattern he wanted, “so we used pasta – spaghetti, rigatoni, fusilli, stellini – just rolled over or pressed into the clay to make the moulds”.

He too points to the challenges inherent in designing interiors where the scene outside changes constantly. “With a residential project the neighbourhood will have some bearing on the design,” he says. “With a yacht, you need to tailor the concept more to the sensibility, tastes and character of the owner than its location because it is on the move continually so it cannot be impacted by its surroundings.” He cites the interiors of a 50 metre yacht he designed. “When I first met the owner, he immediately conveyed to me his combative approach to life. Although he was a middle-aged, northern European businessman, he struck me as a warrior. So when I created his bedside lamps, I created two symmetrical bronze shields to suggest the sense of power and strength in his attitude.”

Indeed the owner’s character should be the starting point with every project. “It is essential that before we begin the design process we listen closely to our clients to ensure we fully understand their lifestyle, their taste and the vision they have for the project. Only then do we put pencil to paper,” says Winch. “Our approach is really hermeneutic, I like to say, or interpretative,” concurs Muzio. “Designers should not have too much ego,” says Disdale. “One should never design something just for sake of being different. Bentley could easily make a three-wheeler car but that only makes it different, not desirable or better.” Similarly, says Starck, when a designer sets out to make a statement with a yacht project “you are dead. You betray your clients because you are designing for you; you don’t design for them,” he says.

But don’t let that fool you into thinking Starck is handing over any control. The designer is firmly disparaging of any contemporaries who give in to a client’s every whim. “You have to drive them in the right way. Some people and some companies think it’s easier to make more money by flattering, but that’s unacceptable. Morally it’s unacceptable. The beauty is to bring everything and everybody to the highest level you can,” he says.

Rémi Tessier , the cabinet-maker turned interiors specialist, takes a similarly hard line, believing the secret of a great yacht interior is simply to take his advice and do what you’re told. “I will not work for a person who will just put whatever on the wall because it would ruin my reputation with those who are collectors,” he once told  Boat International . So much so that there’s a clause in his contract to that effect. “It is fine to have amazing art on the wall,” he says, “but not decorative art. Serious art or no art.” The owners may have commissioned and be paying for the project, but that doesn’t give them “the right to put what they want on the walls”. He takes the same view of accessories. “Every single detail is crucial. How else can I preserve the vision and the integrity of the project? Design is the vision of one person communicated to another, my vision for the client. You know what is a camel: it’s a horse designed by a committee,” he laughs. “You cannot design by committee.”

8 Flybridge Yachts Under 60 Feet Always In Demand

December 21, 2018 9:41 am

Flybridge yachts under 60 feet have evolved over the years from the iconic double-deck Hatteras (Hargrave) designs of the 1970s and 1980s to today’s sleek Eurostyle yachts with their curvaceous lines and acres of window glass. European styling caught on in America in the late 1990s when builders like Sea Ray, Carver and Bayliner introduced a series of successful new models designed to appeal to the growing baby boomer market.

Today nearly all flybridge motoryachts are imported from Europe and the only U.S. builders remaining in this market segment are Marquis, Meridian and — to a lesser extent — Sea Ray. While flybridge yachts under 60 feet are nowhere near as popular as express yachts this size, their popularity has remained fairly consistent and new models continue to evolve. That said, profiled below are eight of the most popular flybridge models produced in recent years.

–Ed McKnew, Powerboat Specialist

Sunseeker Manhattan 52 2008–11

At a Glance: A top-selling yacht (over 50 were built), it’s fair to say the Sunseeker Manhattan 52 set the standards during her production years for motoryacht styling, luxury and performance. Deigned to mirror many of the features of her larger siblings, the three stateroom, galley down interior includes a spacious salon with C-shaped leather settee, full entertainment center and high-gloss cherry cabinets. Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Manhattan 52 is her spacious and opulent owner’s suite.

A crew cabin with single berth and small head is aft. The outdoor space aboard the Manhattan is impressive. Aside from her large cockpit, there is a roomy flybridge whose deck forms a hardtop over most of the cockpit. MAN 800hp (or 715hp Cat) engines cruise the 52 Manhattan at 24–26 knots (30+ knots top).

Price Range: From the mid $600s.

Sunseeker Manhattan 52 2017–Current

At a Glance:   Spectacular styling, very spacious accommodations and strong performance rank the Manhattan 52 among the finest cruising yachts in this class. Said to be the fastest selling model in the Sunseeker fleet. The outside living areas are especially impressive, particularly the unique foredeck dining area and the expansive flybridge which extends well aft over the cockpit.

Entering the interior, the galley is aft where it’s easily accessed from the cockpit. With the galley window down the countertop forms a bar on the port side of the cockpit—very clever. The salon windows are hugel. Below, there are accommodations for six guests in three cabins. The hydraulic bathing platform features a pop-up shower, bench and optional grill. Offered with IPS drives of straight inboards, twin Volvo 725hp D11 inboard engines cruise at 25–26 knots (30+ knots top).

Price Range: From about $1.3 million.  

Marquis 500 Sport Bridge 2009–16

At a Glance: The bold lines, megayacht-style interior and triple-IPS power system of the Marquis 500 Sport Bridge offer something different from most motoryachts this size. Perhaps the most innovative feature of the 500 SB is what Marquis calls a “sliding transom” that glides aft with a push of a button to create additional cockpit space. The well-appointed interior features dark Zebrano wood, black granite counters, and cherry flooring throughout.

Below, the three-stateroom layout includes a forward master suite with ensuite head, VIP queen to port, and twin single berths in the second guest cabin. The galley, salon, cockpit, and swim platform are all on the same level. A optional hydraulic swim platform makes lowering the tender in and out of the water an easy task. Triple Volvo 435hp IPS pod drives cruise the at over 30 knots.

Price Range:  From about $1.3 million.

Princess 56 Flybridge 2014–Current

At a Glance:   The Princess 56 is a stylish flybridge yacht that shares many design features with larger Princess models. The interior is beautifully finished with high-gloss cabinetry, indirect lighting and quality furnishings throughout. Below, guests enjoy an ensuite VIP cabin in the bow and a twin cabin (with beds that convert electrically to a double) aft and to starboard.

The master suite is aft with queen berth, settee, and huge rectangular glass panes that set new standards for hull windows in a yacht this size. Crew quarters with a single bed and head are aft. The cockpit boasts a teak dining table and bench seating. Teak-laid steps on either side lead down to the bathing platform. The vast flybridge features a sun bed, twin helm seats, wet bar, barbecue and dining areas. MAN 800hp inboards cruise at 25–26 knots (low 30s top).

Price Range: Used prices begin at just under $1 million.

Prestige 550 Fly 2012–Current

At a Glance: Distinctive French motor yacht with the emphasis on affordability. The interior of the 550 Fly is arranged with a large and open galley aft in the salon. Lower helm visibility is exceptional on this vessel. Three staterooms and two heads (plus crew quarters aft) are on the lower level including an elegant full-beam master suite with private salon access, large hull side windows, and walk-in closet.

The VIP stateroom, forward, has an island double, while the third, twin-berth, stateroom comes with a filler. This model comes in two versions: The Prestige 550 Fly (flybridge), and the Prestige 550 S with an electrically operated sunroof. Built on a lightweight cored hull, the 550 Fly will cruise at 24–26 knots with 600hp Cummins diesels coupled to Zeus pod drives (30+ top). Note that the pods are located well aft and a jackshaft connects the engines to the pods.

Price Range: From the high $700s.

Azimut 50 Flybridge 2015–Current

At a Glance:   A striking yacht with unusually large salon windows, the Azimut 50 Flybridge is a three stateroom Italian yacht with Azimut’s signature vertical hull windows and a decidedly broad bow area. Below decks, a U-shaped settee sits to starboard with a wood table at its center. Another settee is to port in the salon, and the raised lower helm is forward to starboard. Contrary to current trends, the galley is down rather than aft in the salon.

Storage is scarce and countertop space is extremely limited. The owner’s cabin is amidships, and the VIP cabin is at the bow as is the second guest cabin with two Pullman berths. The cockpit is completely shaded by the flybridge overhang and a U-shaped lounge runs the length of the transom. A hydraulic swim platform is standard. Volvo 670hp inboards cruise at 26–27 knots.

Price Range:   From about $1.1 million.

Azimut 5 Evolution 2002–11

At a Glance:   The 55 Evolution (called the 55 Flybridge in 2001–04) displays a styling scheme very different from earlier Azimut motoryachts. Gone are the tiered cabin windows of previous years replaced by fin-shaped salon windows. Also new were vertical glass panels in the hullsides, a design innovation that has become common in newer Azimuts. The open-plan salon features a C-shaped leather sofa to port and entertainment center to starboard.

The galley and dining area are forward, two steps up from the salon. Below, there are three staterooms and two full heads including a full-beam amidships master, VIP queen forward, and guest cabin with side-by-side berths. Lacquered cherry wood cabinets and trim are used throughout the interior. Crew quarters with a single berth and toilet are aft. Cat 715hp C12 V-drive diesels cruise at 26 knots (30+ top).

Price Range:   From the mid to high $300s.

Carver 570 Voyager 2001–05

At a Glance:   A seriously popular boat, the 570 Voyager is a stretched version of the Carver 530 Voyager (1998–2005) with the extra length used to enlarge the salon and galley. The three stateroom cherry interior is arranged with the galley forward in the very spacious salon with its long L-shaped sofa to starboard and club chairs opposite. A breakfast bar is built into the galley counter, and large windows together with nearly seven feet of headroom combine to create an unusually open and airy salon.

Below, the amidships master stateroom features a walkaround queen berth and ensuite head with tub/shower. The VIP stateroom forward includes a queen berth, and the second guest stateroom offers over/under bunks. A big attraction of the 570 is the roomy pilothouse with L-shaped leather sofa and wraparound helm console. Volvo 675hp diesels cruise at 22–24 knots.

Price Range:   From about $300K.
