You have outgrown the weekend boat but not the pleasure of running your own. That is the exact gap the Azimut Fly 60 was drawn to fill: three en-suite cabins, crew quarters and a three-zone flybridge packed into just under 60 feet of yacht you can still handle yourself.
Who This Boat Is For
Buy the Fly 60 if your guest list expects en-suite cabins and you want them under 60 feet. Every guest cabin gets its own bathroom — the Fly 60's clearest advantage over the Fly 53 below it — and there are still quarters for a hand if you want help aboard. It is the sweet spot in the series between the owner-operator 53 and the crew-assumed 68 and 82: still a manageable size, now with named-designer interiors and no compromises on the guest arithmetic.
The Build
The Fly 60 is the second step in Azimut's Fly series: 59'10" overall on a 16'7" beam, 79,378 lbs at full load, built in GRP with carbon fiber under Azimut's Carbon-Tech approach — lighter structure up high, more volume and stability below. The design credits are serious for a sub-60-footer: Stefano Righini on the exterior, Achille Salvagni Architetti inside, with an interior drawn in organic natural materials and bronze accents.
The flybridge splits into three zones — sunbathing forward, a hardtop-shaded bar and dining area, and an aft lounge for the evening — which is how a 60-footer hosts a party of ten without anyone feeling stacked.
Performance
Twin 900 hp Volvo Penta D13 diesels give the Fly 60 a published 31-knot maximum and up to 26 knots at cruise, from 740 gallons of fuel. Those are the same headline speeds as the smaller Fly 53 — the extra 15,000-odd pounds of boat comes with no performance penalty on paper. The D13 is a proven commercial-grade engine with a wide service network, which matters more over ten years than any brochure line.
Confirm the paper at sea: run your trial at the cruise speed you intend to hold and get observed fuel burn in writing.
Within the Series
Step down to the Fly 53 to save length and draft. Step up to the Fly 68 when the requirement becomes four cabins and 32 knots. The Fly 62 sits alongside with its Beach Cockpit if water-level living outranks the en-suite count.
Where to Start
Walk the accommodation deck first — the three-heads-for-three-cabins layout is the reason this boat wins the comparison spreadsheet. Then take the helm yourself. The Fly 60 is the largest hull in the series that still assumes you are the captain, and that assumption is either exactly what you want or your cue to look at the 68.
