The jury, made up of MBY journalists who test drive all the models put forward for awards, was spellbound by the main features of this sporty pure coupe with exteriors by Stefano Righini and interiors by Francesco Guida, which delivers excellent performance at the same time as offering incredibly comfortable and welcoming accommodation.

But then Azimut S6 has continued to be a huge success since its launch at the Cannes Boat Show in 2018. This model in the Azimut Yachts sports range features extensive use of Carbon Tech and a triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion system, which translates into excellent consumption efficiency and a significant reduction in vibration and noise. The triple propulsion system not only delivers better acceleration, but also superior handling and responsiveness.

The yacht design

Francesco Guida’s interiors are decorated and furnished with a discreet, modern elegance that is both fresh and refined, while the roomy lower deck offers a comfy night area consisting of a remarkable three cabins and two bathrooms.
