Accommodations

There are very few items that never grow old to me for example Sophia Loren, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Italian sports yachts built by the Azimut/Benetti group. The 43 is an ideal choice if you want a spacious flybridge cruiser that offers coastal cruising performance with contemporary Italian style. She features all the space and comfort of the bigger models without sacrificing her distinctively sleek lines. The living space is full of a contemporary appeal with pale woods and cream-colored fabrics tastefully contrasting dark hardwood flooring.

On approach towards the Azimut 43 Flybridge one places their hands into their pockets not to damage this work of art. While inspecting the exterior I realized not only do you have sleek Italian styling with this vessel there is an abundant amount of room throughout this sport yacht.

Boarding the vessel through the transom door from the swim platform, one is greeted with a spacious aft deck with teak sole and ample shade and cover from the flybridge overhang above. A built-in settee across the stern provides seating and lounge space. A stairway leads to the spacious flybridge with built in L-shaped settee.

Enter the salon through the stainless-steel-framed slider and reach your hand out to the port side, where you’ll find light switches and the controls for the air conditioning. You can choose to relax on the large U-shaped lounge to starboard, and settee with a television behind to port. The u-shape settee conveniently turns into a third sleeping area as a pull-out double bed when needed. A few steps up and forward is the lower helm which has a helm bench for two, a full suite of electronics, and opening side windows. The galley is down two steps and to port and has abundant cabinet space, a separate refrigerator, and freezer, stovetop, and microwave.

The guest stateroom is midship and to starboard and has two twin beds as well as a hanging locker. The guest head has a vac-u-flush toilet as well as its own stall shower. The master stateroom is forward and has a centerline double berth, dual hanging lockers, and a private ensuite bath with vac-u-flush head and stall shower.

On the bow is a large double padding where you will find your kids or grandkids spending their time while cruising the harbor and the late afternoon.
