AZIMUT 62
Aggressive and refined, sporty and brazen, with sophisticated lines and aerodynamic solutions: this is the first impression of Azimut 62. On this boat as on all Azimut boats, the side windows are ample to brighten the interiors with natural lighting. These windows distinguish the boat's outer design for their shape - those on the main deck have a fin-like contour while those on the lower deck are oval-shaped - as well as for their mirror-like surface. The flying bridge is very aerodynamic as well with a raised rollbar in the middle and with sunning area, ample and interchangeable lounge, bar cabinet and upper helm station to port.

In the center of the cockpit there is the gangway. Crew cabin
access is from the cockpit aft settee - this cabin is very ample
and bright, with twin beds and ensuite bathroom. The cockpit is
made up of two main areas, one with table and chairs and the other
one with a waste basket and the elegant ladder to the aft
platform, where there is a shower with water mixer and two lockers
for fender storage. Extremely functional solutions make the
interiors of the Azimut 62 extremely comfortable and private. As a
matter of fact, apart from the extremely beautiful layout and
furnishings (Majilite fabric paneling, cherry wood cabinets with
chess-like veins, stainless steel fittings and walnut root
inserts, toilet top in glossy enameled tempered glass available in
blue, green or beige) the interiors are rich in details that make
the difference.
There are spacious cabinets in the galley and
containers on the hull side, there is an ice maker and a crockery
holding space. An ample cabinet for the master stateroom is fitted
in front of the stairway leading to the cabins. There is a service
room with a washing/drying area and drying rack. Moreover, the
salon may be used in two different ways: with opposite settees or
with a settee to port and a multi-functional cabinet to starboard.
The dinette, with a table that may be installed for use, is ideal
for 8 persons.
In the galley there is a very practical and nice
stainless steel/walnut root worktop. Inside the master stateroom
the bed is slanted in order to use the maximum width of the boat's
hull. Last, but not least, the engine room is fitted with Politone
Marine Tec floor, a special washable plastic material developed
for greater sound and vibration insulation.

SEA AND WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING BOAT TESTING
Seakeeping ability, turning and behavior on waves: Azimut
62 was built with an eye to stability. As a matter of fact, the
boat always reacts in the best way to the stresses she receives
when sailing; she returns quickly to the correct trim; she is very
stable even with sudden turns.
Deck: ample side passageways for comfortable access. The
cockpit is elegant and functional
