For owners in the market for a low-hour, turnkey ready flybridge express cruiser that’s fit for owner-operators or a crewed-yacht experience, HMY Yacht Sales currently has Crimson, a 2023 Azimut 68 Fly, listed for $3.55 million. The 68-footer features a two-berth crew quarters and a four-stateroom, three-head layout that sleeps up to eight.
Crimson currently has just 45 hours on it and the staterooms have never been used. Something HMY Yachts says makes it, “A magnificent 2023 Azimut 68F, a genuine work of art that’s primed for instant handover. This Azimut 68F is a custom marvel adorned with numerous upgrades…”
Yachting previously reported that the 68 Fly has three main-deck layout variations, an enclosed, open or aft galley. Crimson features the galley-aft layout, a trait that accentuates this yacht’s ability to accommodate and entertain owners and their guests.
“Contemporary cut, open-space style and informal touch,” Azimut Yachts says about the aft-galley layout. “Suggesting a smooth connection between interior and exterior ambiences…”
Stepping into the main deck, interior guests will find an L-shaped dinette to starboard, adjacent to the galley. Azimut does a good job of keeping sightlines mostly uninterrupted with low profile hanging stowage in the galley. Other features include:
- Miele induction cooktop
- Miele oven
- Miele dishwasher
- Vitrifrigo ice maker
- Full-size fridge and freezer
- Storage throughout
- White countertops
- Stainless faucet fixture
Forward, lounging and conversation are encouraged with seating flanking the salon amidships. To port is a U-shaped settee and an ottoman while to starboard is a straight three-person sofa. An LG flat-screen TV sits behind the sofa.
Outdoor entertainment areas on board this Azimut 68 Fly are not in short supply. Take the foredeck, for example. Guests can enjoy sunbathing with a three-person sun pad forward, or cocktails at sunset on the bench seat aft. In the cockpit, a U-shaped settee backs up to the transom with a fixed table and is shaded by the flybridge overhang above, offering alfresco dining for everyone on board. Pull up a few chairs to fit as many six to eight people.
The flybridge has three distinct social zones. Aft is a lounge area beyond the hard top, which means more sun than shade throughout the day. Amidships is an L-shaped dinette in case guests want an elevated alfresco dining experience. Forward, a second flybridge lounge pad sits to port directly across from the upper helm station.
After a fun day of water toys, sunbathing and lounging with friends comes to an end everyone can head belowdecks to enjoy one of the four aforementioned staterooms. Amidships, the full-beam master stateroom has an athwartships walk-around king berth. The forepeak VIP stateroom has a centerline queen berth while the two guest staterooms abaft have twin single berths.
Twin 1,000 hp Volvo Penta IPS 1350 diesels power Crimson to a reported 32-knot top hop and a 28-knot cruise speed.
Some other notable features include:
- Kohler generator
- Seakeeper 18 gyrostabilizer
- Hydraulic swim platform
- Kenyon grill
- Fusion stereo
- Garmin Platinum package
- Electric bow thruster
Where is Crimson located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
