Quick Verdict

  • Triple IPS 1050 propulsion delivers 225-nautical-mile range at 27 knots, enabling Miami-to-Abacos runs without refueling—a tangible advantage over comparable shaft-drive yachts in the 70-foot class
  • Flybridge-primary layout with full galley and dining for eight shifts living space outdoors, reducing reliance on formal interiors and making the boat viable for owner-operators without crew
  • Four-cabin layout with independent crew quarters provides charter-ready flexibility while maintaining single-level main deck flow that prioritizes helm access and usability underway

Our Take

The S7 represents Azimut's clearest answer to the owner-operator market in the 70-foot range. Triple IPS is not just about speed. It is about predictable handling, dealer-supported service, and the confidence to run the boat yourself without a professional onboard. The build quality is consistent with Azimut's mid-tier sportbridge line—solid laminate construction, reliable systems, and finishes that hold up under regular use. This is not a hand-laid custom yacht, but it is also not a production boat pretending to be one. The engineering is honest.

This boat is for the buyer who has owned multiple boats and knows exactly what they do not want: crew dependency, complex systems, and layouts that prioritize photos over function. The S7 is not for the first-time buyer stepping up from a 35-foot center console. It is not for the owner who wants a formal salon and a captain's quarters. It is for the experienced operator who values time, range, and the ability to leave the dock without coordinating schedules. If you are that buyer, the S7 is one of three boats you should sea-trial in this segment.

Resale data on the S-series shows consistent demand in the pre-owned market, particularly for low-hour examples with documented maintenance. Depreciation follows predictable curves—expect 15 to 20 percent in the first two years, then stabilization if the boat is kept in service. Maintenance costs are manageable because Volvo IPS is widely supported and parts availability is strong. The S7 is not a boat you will struggle to sell when you are ready to move up. It is a boat that holds value because it solves a real problem for a specific buyer who exists in volume..

Owning the Azimut S7: Operating Costs

The S7 is the sport option in the 70-foot class, and it runs leaner than its speed suggests:

  • Fuel: roughly 70 to 85 gallons per hour at the 27-knot cruise with the triple Volvo IPS 1050s. That buys the 225-nautical-mile legs the S7 is known for; slow to 20 knots and range stretches further.
  • Annual upkeep: plan on 5 to 10 percent of the yacht's value per year all-in for owner operation — service, insurance, dockage, detailing.
  • IPS pod service: three pods instead of two — three smaller service tickets on Volvo's schedule rather than two big ones, and redundancy on passage as the bonus.
  • Dockage: 75-foot slip territory. The sportbridge profile clears most covered slips that flybridge 70-footers cannot, which occasionally unlocks cheaper storage.
  • Crew: none required. The flybridge-primary layout with the galley up top is built for short-handed days; independent crew quarters wait for a captain if you add one.

What to Look For in an S7

  • Service records for all three IPS 1050s — on schedule, authorized centers, no gaps.
  • Sea-trial the top end. An S7 should still reach its numbers; a boat that falls well short is telling you about bottom condition, props, or engine health.
  • Carbon superstructure finish around the sport roofline — inspect paint quality; repairs are specialist work.
  • Flybridge galley equipment. It carries the daily load on this boat — test refrigeration, grill, and plumbing up top, not just in the lower galley.
  • Charter and delivery history. Fast 70-footers get moved and chartered; verify the hours story with the logbook.
  • Tender garage and platform hydraulics cycled under load at survey.

Azimut S7 Articles & Guides

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast is the Azimut S7?

The Azimut S7 reaches up to 35 knots and cruises at up to 27 knots, driven by triple Volvo Penta IPS 1050 pods (800 hp each). It is one of the quickest boats in the 70-foot class while keeping joystick docking and pod-drive efficiency.

What is the range of the Azimut S7?

About 225 nautical miles at a 27-knot cruise — enough to run Miami to the Abacos without refueling, a tangible advantage over comparable shaft-drive 70-footers. Fuel capacity is 1,004 gallons.

What are the dimensions of the Azimut S7?

The S7 measures 71 feet 2 inches overall with a 16-foot 11-inch beam, a 5-foot 7-inch draft, and full-load displacement of about 101,400 pounds. Water capacity is 264 gallons alongside the 1,004-gallon fuel supply.

How many people can sleep aboard the Azimut S7?

Eight guests in four cabins with three heads, plus independent crew quarters with a crew head. The four-cabin layout keeps the S7 charter-ready and family-flexible while the main deck stays a single level from helm to cockpit.

What engines power the Azimut S7?

Triple Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1050 pod drives, 800 hp each. Three pods instead of two means more total thrust, redundancy on a long passage, and the joystick close-quarters control that makes an experienced owner comfortable docking a 71-footer short-handed.

Can an owner-operator run the Azimut S7?

Yes. The flybridge-primary layout — full galley and dining for eight up top — shifts daily living outdoors and keeps the boat manageable without crew. Triple IPS pods handle the docking; the crew cabin waits for the day you want a captain.
