Azimut 62 for sale

Yachting Address Review — Azimut 62: the guide for navigating twenty years of variants and five times the same name

The "Azimut 62" is not a boat. It is a family of boats spanning more than two decades of production, several generations of architecture, at least five distinct variants and a price spectrum running from €380,000 for a 2002 to €2,500,000 ex-VAT for the new 2025 Fly 62. Before viewing anything on this page, it is essential to understand what each variant represents — without this, comparing a 2004 Azimut 62 Fly to a 2013 Azimut 62S is like comparing a saloon and a sport coupé because they share the same builder's badge.

Five families under one name: the essential map

The standard Azimut 62 and 62 Flybridge (approximately 2002-2010, 19.22 to 19.86 metres) is the founding generation — Azimut's traditional large flybridge in this size, with interior helm station, main saloon, generous flybridge and three cabins. This is the most widespread model on the second-hand market. The vast majority of listings between €380,000 and €600,000 correspond to this family.

The Azimut 62 Evolution and 62 Evo (2007-2010, 19.25 to 19.86 metres) is the modernised version of the classic flybridge — reworked exterior lines, improved interior layouts, sometimes updated powertrains. The suffixes "Evolution", "Evo", "Flybridge Evo" or "Fly Evolution MkII" all designate iterations of this update. These boats typically sit €30,000 to €80,000 above the equivalent standard model of the same year, justified by design and finish improvements.

The Azimut 62S (2007-2013, 18.41 metres) is a radically different architecture from the other variants — the "S" designates "Sport" and marks a conceptual break. This boat is significantly shorter than classic 62s (18.41 m vs 19.22-19.86 m), with a modern two-level Sport Flybridge line without the traditional superstructure. It is a sportier, more contemporary-design boat targeting a different buyer profile. The 62S listings on this page (€640,000 to €720,000 incl. VAT for 2009-2013 examples) reflect this premium positioning within the family.

The Azimut 62E (2007-2009, 18.90 to 19.25 metres) is an intermediate variant between the classic flybridge and the 62S — a more open, sportier proposal than the traditional flybridge, anticipating some of the 62S's evolutions.

The new Azimut Fly 62 (from 2024-2025, 19.22 metres) is in an entirely different category. The Croatia example at €2,500,000 ex-VAT corresponds to the current Azimut range model — a yacht that shares nothing with the "62" models of the 2000s-2010s except the number in its name. It is a contemporary 20-metre yacht with 2025 technologies and standards, at a price reflecting that ambition.

What the lengths reveal about generations

The stated lengths — 18.41 m, 19.06 m, 19.22 m, 19.25 m, 19.70 m, 19.86 m, 20.00 m — are not solely different measurement conventions. They also reflect genuine generational and architectural variants.

18.41 metres systematically identifies an Azimut 62S — the Sport variant whose hull length is notably shorter than classic flybridge models.

19.22 metres corresponds to the standard Azimut 62 in its official hull measurement — the reference length of the founding model.

19.70 to 19.86 metres includes the swim platform and aft appendages in the overall measurement — the length that matters for marina berths and port zone limits.

In practice: for a Mediterranean marina berth, a minimum 20-metre berth is needed for any classic-generation Azimut 62.

MTU propulsion: the excellence that costs

The vast majority of 2002-2013 Azimut 62s are powered by twin MTU 8V 2000 M90 engines — two diesel units of 915 hp each, totalling 1,830 hp on a boat of approximately 30 tonnes. This is a high-performance powertrain that propels the Azimut 62 to 33-34 knots top speed and 27-28 knots cruise.

MTU (Motoren und Turbinen Union) is a German high-performance engine manufacturer, a Rolls-Royce Power Systems subsidiary. Its marine engines are recognised for reliability and performance — but also for the complexity and cost of their servicing. A 500-hour service on an MTU 8V 2000 represents €15,000 to €25,000 per engine at a certified MTU technician. Major overhauls at 2,000 hours can reach €80,000 to €120,000 for both engines.

On the oldest examples (2002-2006), these service thresholds have long been reached if the boats have navigated regularly. Complete MTU service documentation with certified dealer invoices is the non-negotiable condition of any serious acquisition in this range.

The alternative Caterpillar C18 at 1,000 hp is present on some examples — a robust powertrain with a wider maintenance network than MTU, but slightly different performance characteristics.

Interior architecture: what defines an Azimut 62's value

The Azimut 62 in its classic flybridge version offers an interior architecture that competes with 25-metre yachts from less prestigious builders. Three main cabins — master suite, VIP cabin, double cabin — a fully-equipped galley, two complete heads, a light-filled central saloon, and separate crew quarters with their own access.

The flybridge is the central outdoor living space on this boat — with a bar, dining area, sunbathing zones and a second helm station. This is where most life aboard happens during Mediterranean summer cruising.

Azimut finish quality is a genuine selling point — the woodwork, upholstery and surfaces of well-maintained 2003-2007 examples still hold correctly twenty years after construction. This is a recognised Azimut signature in the sector.

The second-hand market: two radically different segments

The classic flybridge 2002-2010 market sits between €380,000 and €600,000 incl. VAT — 19-20-metre yachts at an accessible price for their size. These are 15-23-year-old boats whose intrinsic value is real but whose future maintenance (MTU engines, air conditioning, electronics) represents a significant annual financial commitment.

The 62S 2009-2013 market sits between €640,000 and €720,000 incl. VAT for good-condition examples — a more premium segment, more recent boats, more contemporary architecture and a more demanding clientele.

The new Fly 62 2025 is at €2,500,000 ex-VAT — an entirely different category sharing only the number in the name.

Real competitors by variant

For the classic flybridge 2002-2010, natural competitors are the Sunseeker Manhattan 66, the Princess V62 and the Ferretti 630. The Azimut 62 stands out through its more Mediterranean Stefano Righini design and its slightly superior interior finishes vs the segment average.

For the 62S, competitors are rather the Sunseeker Predator 64 or Princess V62 Sport — sport flybridge models of the same generation.

What to check when buying second-hand

MTU documentation — absolute first point. Complete service record with certified MTU technician invoices from origin. Current hour reading for both engines. Position relative to manufacturer service thresholds (500 h, 1,000 h, 2,000 h). Without this documentation, the risk is unquantifiable.

Engine condition and diagnostics — on a 15-20-year-old boat with MTUs, exhaust gas analysis and compression testing by a specialist are essential before any decision. A 2-hour engine diagnostic by an expert costs €400 to €800 and can prevent a financial catastrophe.

Air conditioning system — yachts of this size have complex central climate systems. Check refrigerant circuits, seawater heat exchangers, interior units. A complete air conditioning system overhaul represents €8,000 to €20,000.

Electronics and navigation — 2002-2007 electronics are entirely obsolete. Minimum update budget: €15,000 to €35,000 for a current chartplotter/radar/autopilot/DSC VHF set on a boat of this size.

Hull structure and osmosis — moisture meter survey during haul-out is mandatory. Polyester hulls of 15-22-year-old heavy displacement boats warrant this verification.

Our verdict

The Azimut 62 is one of the most complex yacht pages on the Mediterranean second-hand market — not because the boat is difficult to understand, but because the same name groups twenty years of production, five distinct variants and a price spectrum running 1 to 7. The first decision is choosing which family matches one's project and budget. The second is not buying without complete MTU documentation. The third is including in the acquisition budget the probable cost of electronics upgrade and air conditioning overhaul — two items consistently underestimated in this segment. Buyers who do this preliminary work find in the 2005-2009 Azimut 62 flybridge a 19-metre yacht at €450,000-€550,000 offering one of the best quality-to-price ratios in the segment.
