Outboard-powered sport yachts — Italian design at 43 and 50 knots
Verve is Azimut's outboard line, built for the American way of going fast: triple outboard power, a Michael Peters stepped-V ventilated tunnel hull, and yacht-grade Italian styling in a segment usually left to center consoles.
We review both boats in the range. The Verve 42 is the 43-knot weekender with one cabin below and 462 gallons of fuel behind three 400 hp outboards; the Verve 48 adds seven feet, a second cabin and 600 hp on each leg for a published 50 knots.

The Azimut Verve 42 pairs triple 400hp Mercury Verado outboards with a 43-knot top end and 32-knot cruise—open Italian sport styling with a one-cabin, one-head layout for weekend runs.
The Azimut Verve 48 pairs triple 600 hp Mercury Verado outboards with a 50-knot top end and a 37-knot cruise—two cabins, four berths and a Michael Peters stepped-V hull on 49'4" of Italian sport boat.

Moving Up the Verve Series
Verve buyers usually come from big American center consoles and dayboats — the step here is not about length, it is about finish and design language while keeping outboard simplicity. Inside the range, the 42 is the weekender and the 48 adds the space that turns fast days into full weekends.
If your plans outgrow the outboard format altogether, the S series is the natural next step: the same appetite for speed, with inboard pods and three cabins from the S6 up.
Our Take
The Verve line is Azimut having fun, and it shows. These boats run with the fastest American dayboats and then separate themselves on finish — this is the range for the buyer who wants outboard simplicity without giving up Italian design.
Be honest about the mission: speed first, accommodation second. The 42 is a one-cabin weekender and the 48 adds a second cabin below, and neither is pretending to be a cruiser. If that reads like your ideal Saturday, nothing else Azimut builds is pointed so purely at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Azimut Verve easy to run yourself?
Yes — Verve is the most owner-operator-friendly line Azimut builds. Outboard power keeps operation and maintenance familiar to anyone stepping up from a center console, and the 42's single-cabin layout keeps the program simple: you, your friends, and open water.
Is the Azimut Verve 42 good for Florida boating?
It is nearly purpose-built for it: a 3'11" draft for skinny water, a published 43-knot top end for covering ground, 462 gallons of fuel for long offshore days, and outboard power for easy service. We arrange showings and sea trials out of Fort Lauderdale.
What is the Azimut Verve series?
Azimut's outboard-powered sport line — stepped-V hulls, triple outboards and Italian yacht styling in the segment American center consoles usually own. We review the Verve 42, the 43-knot triple-Mercury model built for that market.
How fast are Azimut Verve models?
Fast — the Verve 42 we review tops out at a published 43 knots on triple 400-hp Mercury Verados and cruises at 32. This is the series Azimut builds for open-water pace first.
How is a Verve different from an American center console?
Pace is comparable — the difference is design language and finish. The Verve brings Azimut's Italian styling, a yacht-grade interior and a genuine cabin to a segment usually specified like sports equipment. You give up nothing at the throttle and gain a boat that looks like nothing else at the sandbar.
