The Azimut 55 Fly is a highly successful flybridge motor yacht model from the Italian shipyard Azimut Yachts. The model is praised for successfully blending sporty performance with surprising internal volume and sophisticated interior design. It appeals to owners who desire a yacht that is easy to handle, boasts fast cruising speeds, and provides a refined, elegant ambiance for family use and entertaining.
The 55 Fly is a meter ( ) planing yacht built with a GRP hull and superstructure. The sleek exterior lines, often styled by Stefano Righini, are characterized by the yacht’s large flybridge, which extends aft to maximize outdoor living space. The interior, designed by the celebrated Achille Salvagni, introduced a sophisticated style for its class, using curvilinear furniture, a mix of dark and light woods (such as mahogany and cherry), and recessed bronze-leaf highlights to create a warm, yet contemporary, “cocoon” atmosphere. The layout features a practical aft galley on the main deck and a spacious, light-filled Full-Beam Master Suite midships on the lower deck.
