Azimut Fly 62: A Game-Changer in Yachting Innovation

The model series that has brought Azimut international success has added a new yacht to the lineup, the Fly 62. Azimut states a new milestone has been reached with its latest addition, packed with an array of innovative technologies led by its impressive Beach Cockpit. The WSB team take a closer look at the Fly 62.

It is impossible to think of the modern flybridge without thinking of Azimut. Today, the Shipyard’s path of innovation continues in the wake of the promise made to owners and enthusiasts: to offer, with each new model, uses of spaces and solutions that do not yet exist and that surprise. The latest innovation, launched at the Avigliana production plant, is the Fly 62, not just the new model of one of Azimut’s most successful series of yachts but another push in the evolution of the segment.

The 62 represents the purest concept of design know-how drawing ever closer to the sea, even, for the first time, on a flybridge designed for long stays on board. For a segment traditionally characterized by a more separate access area to the water, Azimut’s response, radical in its apparent simplicity, is to reinvent the cockpit and turn it towards the stern, creating a progressive descent towards the sea.

Thus, the Beach Cockpit was born. The transom opens outwards, and, with a synchronous movement, the sofa is lowered, eliminating all physical barriers, and creating a large sunbathing area close to the water with a connection to the sea that is unique for a yacht in this segment. On board the Fly 62, you can have lunch facing the sea and you can live immersed in nature through spaces designed to accommodate various generations and activities. Some rest in the shade and some swim, others have an aperitif and the rest sunbathe – all while maintaining the sense of sharing those moments.

The exterior design is by Alberto Mancini, who redefines the canons of the category with inspiration from the most recent trends in the automotive world and the functional and aesthetic revolution of SUVs. The volumes of the Fly 62’s superstructure advance towards the bow, allowing the cockpit to be developed while maintaining and evolving the sporty stylistic figure of the Azimut Fly Series, recognized by lines that chase each other and increasingly clean surfaces. The new hardtop designed by Alberto Mancini stands out for its hyper-modern lines, which marry with the linearity of the horizontal development of the hull windows.

For the interiors, Azimut renews its collaboration with the architect Fabio Fantolino for his second project with the shipyard. Fantolino has created “open” spaces, free of visual obstacles, for a feeling of unrestricted closeness to the sea, and has interpreted the interior environments with a clean and fresh design, made up of a few essential details.

The Fly 62 is scheduled for a global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, held from the 10^th to the 15^th of September and is sure to attract many Azimut enthusiasts and curious industry peers. We look forward to seeing the new Fly 62 out in the wild.
