Unveiled in July at Azimut Yachts’ Avigliana facility in Italy, the Fly 62- a new addition to the brand’s iconic Flybridge series- solidifies Azimut’s standing as a leader in the global yachting industry. Its revolutionary Beach Cockpit design not only introduces a bold innovation but also sets a new standard for the Flybridge segment, charting a visionary course for its future.
For years, the modern Flybridge concept has been synonymous with Azimut, leaving an indelible imprint on the industry. The brand has played a pivotal role in shaping the evolution of Flybridge yachts and motor yachts at large. Now, with the launch of the Fly 62, Azimut continues to break new ground, delivering on its promise to yacht owners and enthusiasts by offering advanced solutions and cutting-edge technology. Officially debuted at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival in October, the Fly 62 marks a significant milestone in the development of the Flybridge line.
The Fly 62 represents the purest expression of Azimut’s design philosophy, blending the brand’s creative ingenuity with the owner’s desire to connect more intimately with the water. It is the first Flybridge yacht purposefully designed for long stays onboard, thanks to a groundbreaking reconfiguration of the aft-facing cockpit, creating a seamless and fluid transition from interior to exterior spaces.
This innovation has given rise to the Beach Cockpit, a defining feature located at the stern that extends and integrates flawlessly with the sofa's adjustable lift system, removing any physical barriers. This results in an expansive sunbathing platform directly at water level, offering an unparalleled connection to the sea. Few yachts in this category achieve such harmony with the ocean. Onboard the Fly 62, owners can enjoy meals with uninterrupted views of the sea while relishing multifunctional spaces crafted to cater to various activities across generations.
Designed by Alberto Mancini, the exterior of the Fly 62 is a testament to innovation, drawing inspiration from the latest automotive trends and the rise of SUVs in terms of aesthetics and functionality. Mancini has redefined the balance between form and function, pushing the superstructure's mass toward the bow to maximize cockpit space while preserving the sleek, sporty silhouette synonymous with the Azimut Flybridge series. The meticulously sculpted lines and smooth surfaces enhance the yacht’s elegance. The newly designed hardtop complements the extended hull windows, creating a refined, contemporary look.
More than just a connection to nature, the Fly 62 also reflects the refined artistry of Fabio Fantolino, whose second collaboration with Azimut brings a blend of Asian and European design elements. Neutral tones create a serene, understated ambiance. Fantolino has crafted “open” spaces free of visual obstructions, delivering a sense of freedom and seamless integration with the sea. The minimalist interior, with its sleek, graceful lines, ensures every element harmonizes to create a balanced and refreshing environment.
This innovative approach has been widely recognized, with the Fly 62 winning the prestigious "Best Layout" award at the 2024 World Yacht Trophies, presented by Yachts France. Sharing the limelight with the Seadeck 7 from a different segment of Azimut’s portfolio, this accolade highlights the Fly 62’s game-changing Beach Cockpit design.
Such recognition further cements Azimut Yachts’ leading role in shaping the future of the Flybridge series on the international stage. The brand’s commitment to continuous innovation will undoubtedly strengthen its reputation among yacht enthusiasts and inspire further advancements in yacht design.
