The latest version of the Azimut Fly 53 is a 55-foot luxury flybridge yacht that was launched by the world-leading Italian yacht-building brand Azimut Yachts in 2021, however previous 53's are still found on the brokerage market. This sharp-edged model has an assertive form primed for speed, while sleek modern lines and dynamic glazing are the work of iconic designer Alberto Mancini, who has lent this vessel plenty of verve and panache. Living spaces are expansive and breezy, the flybridge low-slung and cozy, while overnight cabin space for the whole family makes the Fly 53 ideal for long weekends spent cruising in style.

The discreet flybridge on this boat might not be the biggest, but it has been precision-engineered for graceful open-air living with plenty of comfort. The rear section of this sun-kissed, teak-lined space is dominated by an edge-to-edge, wrap-around sofa for up to seven guests that hooks itself around a timber dining table perfect for midday meals. Further forward there’s a full-beam sunpad nestled up against a tinted windscreen, while a starboard wet-bar console and a port-side helm station round out the amenities up here. Down on the foredeck there’s room for a Portuguese Bridge-style sofa and a modular seating pod comprising a three-seater sofa and a three-zone sunpad with views out beyond the bow. The aft-deck, meanwhile, offers shaded relaxation at an L-shaped transom dining sofa as well as an aft-docking station, while side-steps invite guests down to a full-beam hydraulic swimming platform sturdy enough to host a Williams jet-tender.
There’s a play of contrasts in the main-deck salon, with white-washed surrounds and pale hardwood floors blending with black marble surfaces, dark lacquered accents and rich timber cabinets for a striking and contemporary feel. Steel-framed sliding glass doors to aft open up to reveal a space surrounded by swooping half-moon windows, with an open galley to the rear boasting comprehensive kitchen facilities. Further forward there is a side sofa, a U-shaped dining sofa with an extending table, and a starboard helm station with two piloting seats facing a non-glare glass dash with two 12-inch Garmin MFD screens, power-steering, Active Trim Control, a Penta joystick and an optional Seakeeper stabilizer switch.
Along with a stern-side crew quarters there’s space for six overnight guests on the lower-deck, split across a classic three cabin and two head layout, with rooms on this level enjoying expansive hull glazing and a restrained, calming vibe. A twin cabin and a VIP double to the bow share a main head with a shower cubicle, while the full-beam master stateroom amidship enjoys a king-sized island bed, trapezoidal windows, a marble-lined storage unit, a side sofa and its own personal en-suite bathroom.
A tank holding 634 gallons of fuel and a B-class planing hull with a 13.6-degree transom deadrise have been optimized for the perfect balance between speed and stamina. Rocket to top speeds of up to 31 knots thanks to a pair of 725HP Volvo Penta D11 IPS950 diesel pod-drive engines, or settle in at a swift 26 knot cruising speed for a range of around 279 nautical miles.
