Azimut 66 FLYBRIDGE

Powered by twin MAN D2842LE V12 diesel engines, each rated at approximately 760 HP, as per MAN technical specifications and the 1999 refit documentation.

These engines are renowned for their robustness, smooth operation and high torque, offering excellent performance and reliability for a yacht of this size.
At a cruising speed of around 18 knots, the combined fuel consumption is estimated between 170 and 200 litres per hour, depending on load and sea conditions.
Maximum speed 27knots Cruising speed 20 knots Range 350/400Mls.

Generators Onan 20kw MDJF 3CR Power 24V DC/120v-240v AC.

⚠️ Please note: there is a discrepancy between the power indicated on the registration documents (280 kW) and that mentioned in the refit and MAN specifications (2 × 760 HP, approx. 1,520 HP total). This may be due to administrative rounding or the difference between fiscal power and manufacturer-rated mechanical output.

The engines appear to run smoothly, but no major servicing has been carried out over the past four years. A comprehensive mechanical inspection and full servicing are therefore recommended before undertaking extended cruising.

A major refit seems to be completed in 1999, which included overhaul and technical upgrades of the propulsion and mechanical systems.

The yacht is fitted with a comprehensive electrical system, suitable for extended cruising and long-term living aboard.

There are seven batteries in total, including two dedicated starting batteries per engine, both replaced in 2025, providing reliable engine start-up and strong electrical autonomy.

The service batteries supply lighting, comfort systems, and onboard equipment.

A watermaker with a capacity of approximately 1,000 litres per day is also installed and requires servicing before use. This system provides valuable freshwater independence for extended stays on board.

The overall electrical installation - including inverter, charger, and main protection circuits - is operational but a general inspection is recommended before long-range navigation, given the vessel’s recent period of inactivity.

Built in 1985 by Azimut Yachts (Azimut-Benetti Group) in Avigliana, Italy, this yacht features a hand-laid GRP (fibreglass) construction typical of Azimut’s robust and long-lasting builds from that era.

The hull and superstructure were laminated with thick, high-quality layup, ensuring excellent strength and durability.

According to the official registration documents, the yacht measures 19.88 metres in length with a beam of 4.80 metres. However, documentation from the 1999 refit (when the vessel was named Chardonnay) indicates an overall length of approximately 21.30 metres and a beam increased to 5.10 metres, most likely due to the aft swim platform extension carried out during that refit. These figures are provided in good faith for information purposes, while the official dimensions remain those recorded on the vessel’s registration.

This modification reflects the quality of the 1999 refit, which enhanced the yacht’s profile and functionality without altering its original design integrity.

Azimut hulls from this generation are renowned for their stability, smooth handling, and solid construction, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride at sea.

The interior of this yacht combines warmth and elegance, characteristic of Azimut’s finest builds from this era.

Gloss varnished woodwork and large panoramic windows create a bright, inviting atmosphere worthy of a true floating residence.

The main saloon is spacious and open, featuring large, comfortable sofas, a welcoming dining area, and an indoor bar.

The headroom exceeds 2 metres, providing an exceptional sense of space and volume.

The galley is fully equipped for long-term living aboard, including an oven, induction hob, dishwasher, ample countertop space, plenty of storage, and a large refrigerator with a separate freezer compartment.

The yacht offers three main cabins, two fitted with a queen-size bed (160 × 200 cm) and one with two single beds 90x190 and its own ensuite bathroom including shower, electric toilet, and washbasin.

A separate crew cabin with forward access provides additional independence.

The laundry area is equipped with both a washing machine and tumble dryer, offering a high level of comfort for long-term or liveaboard use.

Climate control is ensured by reversible air conditioning across three independent units, allowing both heating and cooling throughout the boat.

A modern hot-water system provides efficient domestic comfort.

On deck, the flybridge features an outdoor bar, ideal for entertaining or enjoying meals with panoramic views of the sea.

A refined and highly functional layout offering the comfort and feel of a luxury apartment, perfectly suited for year-round liveaboard living.
