Light, spaciousness and style

Huge windows provide a cascade of light into the Azimut 88. A clever design fits three double beds into her four staterooms. Meticulously-detailed décor and top-quality materials emulate the style of larger yachts. The 88 is an Azimut well worth exploring. 

The Azimut 88 is one of the largest yachts amongst the array of new models unveiled by the Italian shipyard this season. The first-build debuted at last autumn’s boat shows, and we had the chance to explore her at the Barcelona International Boat Show. The yacht’s exterior styling is the work of Stefano Righini, who has adopted many of his trademark aesthetic resources which clearly illustrate that we’re looking at a member of the Azimut family. One major highlight is the use of four vertical hull-side windows which provide a cascade of light into the master stateroom, with three similar large portholes lighting up the guest staterooms. The forward VIP stateroom features the trapezoidal window Azimuts are so renowned for, just like the design of the retractable flybridge hard top which from afar seems to be free-standing when in fact there are stainless steel supports on the radar arch. The unique sliding canopy and characteristic superstructure windows are also quintessential Azimut designs.
