You want the flybridge life without a wall between you and the water. The Fly 62's Beach Cockpit turns the stern into a sea-level terrace.
Part of the Azimut Fly series — see how owners step up through the lineup.
Quick Verdict
- The Beach Cockpit is a genuine engineering achievement that creates usable waterline space without compromising hull integrity or seaworthiness
- IPS 1200 drives deliver superior low-speed handling and quieter operation than competing shaft-drive boats in this size class
- Interior volume and flybridge space exceed most 63-footers due to aggressive beam and efficient layout design
Our Take
The Fly 62 represents a smart evolution of the flybridge formula. Azimut took a risk with the Beach Cockpit, and it paid off. The hydraulics are well-engineered, the execution is clean, and the result is a boat that feels bigger than its 63 feet. The IPS drives are the right choice here, and the hull performs well in typical coastal conditions. Build quality is solid for the class.
This boat is for the owner who spends weekends at anchor with family or friends. It's not for the long-range cruiser or the speed enthusiast. The 740-gallon fuel capacity limits your range, and the focus on volume means you're giving up some performance. If your typical trip is three days, four guests, and a dozen anchorages within 100 miles of home, the Fly 62 is a strong contender. If you're planning extended offshore passages, you'll want more fuel and a different hull.
Resale will be the challenge. Azimut depreciates faster than Northern European brands, and the first owner takes the biggest hit. Buy this boat used if you can. A three-year-old example with low hours delivers most of the new-boat experience at a meaningful discount. Maintenance costs are manageable if you stay on top of the service schedule, but the hydraulic systems add complexity. Budget accordingly.

Azimut Fly 62 Overview
The Fly 62 is the newest mid-range hull of Azimut's Fly series, measuring 63'1" overall on a 16'8" beam and 5'4" draft, with 740 gallons of fuel and 199 gallons of water.
Its signature is the Beach Cockpit — a stern rethought as a sea-facing sunbathing terrace with no physical or visual barrier to the water, a first for the series.
Performance & Handling
Twin 900 hp pod drives are standard, good for a published 30-knot maximum and 25-knot cruise; the optional 1,000 hp pair raises those to 32 and 26. The planing hull carries 17.2 degrees of deadrise at the stern and 22 amidships.
Full-load displacement is 85,979 lbs — moderate for the class — and the pod installation keeps close-quarters handling manageable for an owner-operator.
Interior & Accommodations
Three cabins and three heads plus a crew cabin — six guest berths and two crew. The flybridge adds a second helm and an open living level above.
On the main deck the Beach Cockpit and the Terrace Cockpit arrangement put two distinct outdoor rooms aft of the saloon alone.
Market Position
Within the Fly series the 62 slots between the Fly 60 and Fly 68 as the hull that introduces the Beach Cockpit idea to the line — the newest thinking in the range without stepping into the 70-foot class.
It keeps the series' three-cabin-plus-crew formula at its most attainable size.
Who the Fly 62 Is For
Buy the Fly 62 if your time aboard centers on the water itself — swimming, sunning, kids off the stern — and you want a flybridge over it all.
Choose the Fly 60 if the classic cockpit format suits you; step to the Fly 68 when a fourth cabin becomes the requirement.

What is the Beach Cockpit on the Azimut Fly 62?
