THE BOAT
Some yachts simply allow you to go to sea, while others manage to turn every outing into a small escape. This 2005 Azimut 46 clearly belongs to the latter group. Her flybridge, spacious saloon, exterior relaxation areas and layout designed for several days on board make her equally suitable for a day between coves or a holiday cruising the coast with family or friends.
This boat also brings together many of the elements that make a flybridge yacht of this size especially attractive: twin Caterpillar C9 engines producing 507 hp each, shaft drives, Yacht Controller, bow thruster, generator, climate control, hydraulic passerelle and a complete navigation electronics package. All of this is wrapped in an Italian design that still retains an elegant and recognisable presence two decades after she was built.
About this Azimut 46
Built in 2005, this Azimut 46 combines a highly usable Mediterranean layout with the autonomy and comfort required to use the yacht as a genuine family cruiser.
The boat is powered by two Caterpillar C9 engines producing 507 hp each, with approximately 950 operating hours, direct shaft drives and a combined output of 1,014 hp. Her stated cruising speed is approximately 20 knots, with a maximum speed of around 23 knots.
On board there are two main cabins, a convertible saloon, two complete bathrooms and an independent crew cabin aft with washbasin and toilet, currently used as a storage area. The package is completed by an equipped galley, air conditioning, heating, generator, navigation electronics, generous exterior spaces and flybridge.
The yacht is Spanish-flagged, with Spanish VAT and registration paid, and underwent a complete inspection with services carried out in 2024.

Why this boat stands out
What makes this Azimut 46 particularly interesting is the combination of a highly usable layout, generously specified Caterpillar power and equipment designed to make genuine multi-day use of the yacht comfortable.
The twin Caterpillar C9 engines, shaft drives, Yacht Controller and bow thruster support navigation and manoeuvring, while the generator, climate control, fully equipped galley, two bathrooms and additional crew cabin considerably increase autonomy and comfort on board.
The flybridge, teak cockpit, foredeck sunpad and bathing platform also create several distinct exterior areas, making her especially suitable for enjoying the Mediterranean with family or guests.
Fontnautic opinion
For Fontnautic, the Azimut 46 represents a particularly attractive period in the Italian builder's history: elegant lines, warm interiors, good proportions and a layout designed to give a yacht under fifteen metres a considerable sense of space.
This boat is especially interesting to us because she combines two Caterpillar C9 engines, direct shaft drives, Yacht Controller, generator, climate control and a layout that even includes a small independent crew cabin aft.
She is a yacht for someone who values both the time underway and everything that happens after anchoring: dining on board, enjoying the flybridge, spending the afternoon on deck and having enough space to extend the stay for several days.
For a buyer looking for a well-equipped pre-owned Italian flybridge yacht with a traditional and proven mechanical configuration, we believe she remains a very attractive proposition in her segment.
