Azimut Yachts in Italy has launched the Fly 62, the eighth model in its range of Fly yachts that spans from 50 to 83 feet long.

The Fly 62—which has a length overall of 63 feet, 8 inches—is scheduled to make its public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival, which is set for September 10-15 in France.

Azimut says this model’s key feature is a beach cockpit with a transom that opens outward, lowering a sofa and creating a sunbathing area so close to the water “that is unique for a yacht in this segment.”

Additional guest seating is in what’s considered the traditional cockpit space, with shade from the upper deck’s overhang. The upper deck also has guest relaxation areas that are in the sun and shade, in addition to yet another outdoor zone far forward on the main deck that is completely open.

Exterior design is by Alberto Mancini, with the superstructure volume increasing toward the bow. This choice allowed the beach cockpit area to be developed while maintaining overall sporty styling. Mancini also designed the new hardtop, with an eye toward what Azimut calls “hyper-modern lines” that complement the horizontal hull windows.

Interiors on the Azimut Fly 62 are by architect Fabio Fantolino, marking his second project with the shipyard. Fantolino’s goal was to create open spaces that are free of visual obstacles. Renderings from the builder show a combination of white and light neutral tones in the standard décor, with substantial glazing on the main deck that allows for broad views of the outdoors.

Power on this yacht is a pair of 900-horsepower Volvo Penta IPS1200s. Azimut says the maximum speed will be 32 knots, giving the Fly 62 plenty of oomph to cover ambitious itineraries.

Draft is 3 feet, 5 inches, which is low enough to allow for skinny-water cruising.

Azimut is expanding its offerings in Spain: The shipyard also just announced the opening of two Grande Boutiques in Spain, one in Palma de Mallorca and the other in Madrid. As part of this expansion, the locations will offer personal service to owners of Azimut’s Grande Series, which includes models from 85 to 144 feet long. “The Azimut Grande collection is experiencing a wave of great fortune in Spain,” according to the builder. “The recent delivery of a Grande trideck in the Balearics and of a Grande 27m in collaboration with Marina Estrella are testaments to this success.”
