Azimut Yachts’s new Azimut 66 has made its debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival in France.

The iconic new yacht in its Flybridge Collection is being showcased along with 16 other Azimut yachts at the event in Cannes.

The five collections in Azimut Yachts’ range are represented by 17 models, from the smallest in the fleet, the Azimut Atlantis 34, to the Azimut Grande 95RPH, which is riding high on the success of a series of striking novelties, including a raised deck and flybridge offering over 60 sq m of space.

The Azimut 66 joins Azimut’s most classically styled collection and has already reported excellent sales and positive reactions from enthusiasts.

The flowing lines designed by Stefano Righini and extensive use of carbon fibre, which significantly reduces the weight of the yacht and increases interior and exterior volumes, are the main features of a brand that has always stood proudly at the cutting edge.

The models sharing the spotlight with the Azimut 66 include Azimut Magellano 66, the 20-m megayacht offering long range cruising freedom pampered by the comfort and elegance of home. The fifth model in the Magellano collection retains the distinctive dual mode hull from previous versions to guarantee comfortable cruising in any sea conditions and at any speed.

Then there is Azimut 72 Fly, the predecessor of the Azimut 66. Making extensive use of carbon fibre, it stands out in particular for its elegant proportions, which express a sporty mood but without settling for any compromises in terms of space. 

Of the smaller models on show, the sporty Azimut Atlantis 43 is the latest model in the Atlantis collection and is a perfect testimonial for Azimut’s design flexibility and “Made in Italy” style, offering the chance to customise the interiors with fine Italian fabrics from Missoni Home and Loro Piana Interiors. 

Azimut Yachts is an Azimut|Benetti Group brand. With its Atlantis, Magellano, Flybridge, S and Grande collections, it offers the widest range of 34 to 120-foot yachts. It has a presence in 70 countries through a network of 128 sales and assistance centres, as well as direct representation and assistance branches in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Fort Lauderdale (US) and Itajai (Brazil).

The Cannes festival, held at two French Riviera ports – Vieux Port and Port Pierre Canto – ends today.
