Every guest remembers the moment the transom starts to move. The Azimut Fly 82's Deck2Deck terrace rises, the cockpit opens, and the aft deck becomes a platform standing directly over the water — the superyacht party trick, delivered on a family flybridge yacht.
Who This Boat Is For
Buy the Fly 82 if you run with crew, entertain at anchor and want the terrace-on-the-water moment without moving up to the Grande series. This is where the Fly series overlaps true superyacht territory — five heads, two crew cabins, a fold-out terrace — while keeping the family-flybridge DNA of its smaller sisters. The head count is the tell: four cabins and five heads means no queues with every berth filled.
The Design
The Fly 82 brings superyacht scale to Azimut's flybridge series: 81'4" overall, 19'3" beam, 139,330 lbs at full load, in GRP and carbon fiber. Alberto Mancini shaped the exterior; Fabio Fantolino styled an interior that gives the 82 a character of its own within the series. The flybridge and the Deck2Deck cockpit terrace hand guests two distinct places to gather, and the full-beam owner's suite uses all 19 feet of the boat's width.
Performance
Triple Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pods at 900 hp each are standard, with 1,000 hp IPS 1350s optional. Azimut publishes up to 32 knots flat out and 25 knots at cruise, on 1,506 gallons of fuel. The yard credits the triple-pod layout, optimized waterlines and carbon construction with a 20-30% fuel and CO2 saving over an equivalent shaft-drive hull across the main speed range — and the pods bring joystick handling to an 81-footer, which keeps the boat within reach of a hands-on owner running a light crew.
Get observed burn documented at sea trial at your intended cruise speed; on a boat this size that number shapes every itinerary you will plan.
Within the Range
The Fly 78 sits below with triple-pod handling on a slightly smaller platform. If a fifth stateroom is the requirement, the Grande 26M is the logical next step four feet up. If a lower, faster profile appeals on similar length, look at the S8 — same builder, same scale, opposite personality.
Where to Start
See the Deck2Deck cycle through with the boat at anchor and people aboard — it is a genuinely different way of using the stern, not a brochure animation. Then walk the heads-and-cabins arithmetic against your real guest list. The Fly 82 wins that comparison against nearly everything its length, and it is the honest reason to buy it.
