1 THREE NEW AZIMUTS FOR 2019
Azimut Benetti Group is celebrating its 50th anniversary with three new models for 2019.
The Atlantis 45 is likely to be of most interest to UK buyers as it replaces the popular Atlantis 43, 140 of which were built during its four years in production. The 45’s styling has been brought up to date with details that echo the Atlantis 51 such as a near vertical bow and longer hull windows.
The big change is the propulsion system. Where the 43 was only available with sterndrives, the new model moves to IPS600 pod drives, with engine power increasing slightly from 400hp to 425hp each. No performance claims have yet been made for this new model.
THE EDITOR’S VIEW…
After a couple of quiet years Azimut is on a new model binge again as these three stunners demonstrate. Throw in the AZIMUT GRANDE S10 and a hotly anticipated MAGELLANO 25M and 2019 is set to be a bumper year
With the same wide beam (4.25m), the 45 offers a two-cabin lower deck layout with the master cabin forward, a dinette opposite the galley amidships and a guest cabin further aft with twin beds that convert to a double and the option of a third bed.
