Quick Verdict
- Carbon-Tech superstructure reduces weight by 30 percent and roll by 15 percent compared to traditional fiberglass construction in this class
- Twin Volvo D13 engines deliver 31-knot top speed with proven commercial-grade reliability and a global service network
- Three legitimate guest cabins plus crew quarters and a convertible salon layout that functions as both dining and lounge space without compromise
Our Take
The Fly 60 represents Azimut's most refined thinking in the 60-foot flybridge category. The Carbon-Tech construction is not a gimmick. It delivers measurable improvements in stability and handling that you feel within the first hour of operation. The Volvo D13 engines are the right choice for this application. They offer the performance buyers expect without the maintenance headaches of higher-strung powerplants. The hull design strikes a smart balance between comfort and efficiency. This is a boat that can handle offshore conditions without beating you up, but it's optimized for the coastal and island cruising that most owners actually do.
This boat is for the owner who has moved beyond entry-level yachting and wants something they can operate themselves without feeling overwhelmed. It's not for the buyer who wants to impress the dock with exotic engine badges or the largest flybridge in the marina. The Fly 60 is for the operator who values thoughtful design, proven engineering, and the ability to leave on Friday afternoon without a crew. If you're still figuring out whether you want to be hands-on or hands-off, this boat gives you the flexibility to do both. That's rare in this size range.
Resale on Azimut yachts has been solid, particularly in markets like South Florida and the Mediterranean where the brand has strong dealer support. The Fly 60 is a current model with modern systems, which means it won't feel dated in five years. Maintenance costs are predictable if you stay on top of routine service. The Volvo engines have a strong parts network, and most systems are straightforward enough that you're not hunting for specialists. This is a boat you can own for seven to ten years, use hard, and still get a fair number when it's time to move up..

Owning the Azimut Fly 60: Operating Costs
The Fly 60 trades pod-drive convenience for shaft-drive simplicity, and its cost profile reflects that choice:
- Fuel: roughly 60 to 70 gallons per hour at the 26-knot cruise with the twin Volvo D13 900s. The D13 is a commercial-grade workhorse — burn is predictable and parts are everywhere.
- Annual upkeep: plan on 5 to 10 percent of the yacht's value per year all-in. Shaft drives are the budget-friendly part of this boat: conventional stuffing boxes, struts, and props cost less to service than pods and any yard can do the work.
- Engine service: Volvo D13s on a global service network. Major intervals are far apart; oil and impeller work is standard-yard routine.
- Dockage: standard 60- to 65-foot slip. Nothing about the 16-foot 7-inch beam complicates berthing.
- Crew: none required — but shaft drives mean docking rewards experience. Budget a few sessions with a training captain if you are moving up from a smaller boat; it is the best money you will spend in year one.
What to Look For in a Fly 60
- Carbon-Tech superstructure finish. Inspect paint around the carbon areas; repairs are specialist work, so surface honesty matters.
- Shaft and cutlass bearing wear at haul-out, plus stuffing box condition — the classic shaft-drive checklist applies.
- Engine surveys on both D13s. Oil analysis is cheap insurance on high-hour examples.
- Convertible salon hardware. The dining-to-lounge conversion should operate smoothly; worn fittings show how hard the boat was used.
- Generator hours. No hybrid assist here — a Florida boat lives on its generator at anchor, so expect meaningful hours and verify service intervals were respected.
- Charter history and hour honesty. Verify hours against the maintenance log, not the listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is the Azimut Fly 60?
The Azimut Fly 60 reaches up to 31 knots and cruises at up to 26 knots, powered by twin Volvo Penta D13 diesels producing 900 hp each. The D13 is a proven commercial-grade engine with a global service network — reliability that matters more than headline speed.
What are the dimensions of the Azimut Fly 60?
The Fly 60 measures 59 feet 10 inches overall with a 16-foot 7-inch beam, a 4-foot 9-inch draft, and full-load displacement of about 79,400 pounds. Fuel capacity is 740 gallons and water capacity is 198 gallons.
How many cabins does the Azimut Fly 60 have?
Three legitimate guest cabins with three heads, plus a crew cabin with its own head. The convertible salon layout doubles as dining and lounge space, so six guests sleep aboard comfortably without the layout compromises common in this class.
What is Carbon-Tech on the Azimut Fly 60?
Carbon-Tech is Azimut's carbon fiber superstructure construction. On the Fly 60 it reduces topside weight by about 30 percent versus traditional fiberglass, which lowers the center of gravity and cuts roll by roughly 15 percent — a steadier boat at anchor and underway.
Is the Azimut Fly 60 good for an owner-operator?
Yes, with a caveat: the Fly 60 runs conventional shaft drives rather than pods, so docking rewards experience. In exchange you get the simplicity and serviceability of twin Volvo D13s. Owners stepping up from a 50-footer with shaft drives will feel at home immediately.
How much fuel does the Azimut Fly 60 carry?
The Fly 60 carries 740 gallons (2,800 liters) of fuel and 198 gallons of water. At a 26-knot cruise that supports a solid day of coastal passagemaking; throttle back and Florida-to-Bahamas routes are well within its comfort zone.
