Interesting use of space all over this Sporty Azimut yacht for all of the cabins, Salon, bridge, and finially the engine room. But she stylish but its also comfort with safety in mind and practicalibility. I prefer a long distance yacht but she is a great family or charter yacht for fun.
David, good morning and the best of the Christmas and holiday seasons to you and yours. The extensive use of shaped and flowing glass work caught my eye. Although this does not represent my ideal view of what I would require from a boat of this class. She does have many intriguing qualities. Her lines and swept back features are in themselves quite beautiful. She has many lovely attributes and will serve her next owner well. On the occasions when the owner doesn't require time on board she will serve the charter community fabulously. Another wonderful video David. I truly appreciate the time to come and view her. Especially when she is shown off by an experienced and knowledgeable person such as yourself. Have a wonderful week ahead and enjoy the rest of the holidays David. Thanks for the tour!
Thanks for this nice tour. 👍🏻 40kts on an 86 is quiet impressive. I've been missing the engine room tour 😩 What went wrong? Announcing the engine room and then not showing it. 🤔
Thanks for watching. The engine room was challenging to film due to the restricted space. I have to balance the need to provide viewers content they want to see, with promoting the yacht that is for sale. In this case the engine room footage was really not good enough to do justice to the yacht so I decided to cut it.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog It's not so challenging - I used to own an 86s (also bought in Sardinia). Sure, not much room but you should have shown it. The engine room and quality of the state of it is essential to these boats - I looked at 3 x 86s, and the other two were not in great shape mechanically - visually at least - compared to the one I bought
Lovely starter Yacht, I’ll take it but won’t put my main name to it as I’m saving that for my mega Yacht thanks for informing us about what’s available love your smooth Informative relaxing delivery
hello! Really like the videos, even if I am far away from buying a yacht. On a yacht like this one, the helm looks a bit dated compared to a new yacht. Is it possible to upgrade the instruments to 2022-tech?
Yes, it's definitely possible. The only limiting factor is the size of your bank account. Quite honestly on this Azimut the helm isn't the only thing that looks dated IMO. However, if you were to buy it for €1,290,000 & decided to upgrade/modernize the entire boat from top to bottom for a few hundred thousand it would still be much cheaper than to buy a modern Azimut version of this yacht. A new Azimut S8, which is slightly shorter at (24.63m/80'10"), costs around €3,350,000. The next size up currently in the S line is the Azimut Grande S10, which is a bit longer(28.72m/94'3"), & costs €7,100,000.00. So it would be far cheaper to upgrade this old 86S even if you gutted the entire boat & replaced everything.
Hi David, I wish you can include more technical information in your reviews like if the yacht has seakeeper/gyro stabilizers, kind of drive system(shaft, v-drive, Pod, etc. as well as the Hours on the engines and generators.
Beautiful boat for the price point… It’s roughly the same cost for a new Amel 50. Last couple I looked at were around 1.2 to 1.4 million USD. meanwhile I’m looking for a 2nd hand Amel 50 to buy on e I retire (temporarily) in 10yrs which will still probably cost between €700,000 to €900,000.
Should be a physical separation of the bridge from the rest of the boat. Preferably a wall of glass or lexan to provide the captain a rear view and keep noise and distractions to a minimum.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog Oops Sunseeker 161 - not 131. They are using a foil on their fast displacement hull design for release in 2022. I think foils are a big help on catamaran designs.
@@EdwardTilley Interesting. The foil on the Sunseeker 161 (which has never been built by the way) is actually a hull vein that is fitted to the bottom of the hull. It is designed to optimise the performance of a displacement hull. The Azimut on the other hand is a planing hull, so the hull vein would actually slow it down. It's a fascinating subject...I should look at producing a vlog about it!
@@Yachtsforsaleblog The success of the Aquila 36 dual-hull foil makes me wonder how much weight these things can lift. Performance and fuel economy is doubled for over 15 kph operation.
She is anchored in the middle of nowhere with not ideal conditions. You would not normally do that. We do it only for a break in the middle of a long cruise, think like 200 nautical miles and the guest getting tired, so you stop for a drink and some light snack before continuing. Video scheduling and a Winter swell typical of the Mediterrean coupled with a different breeze direction did not help.
Even zero speed stabilizers will only help to a certain point. They reduce roll motion rather than completely eliminate it. As @PowerYacht rightly says, we were nowhere near a bay and the ocean had a winter swell. I would love to find a way to film that does not show the roll motion, but in all honesty it is a part of yachting so maybe it's better that the videos show the reality of life on board. You get used to it pretty quickly and it doesn't spoil the experience unless you are easily susceptible to seasickness.
They roll, and they swing wildly with the wind, because there's no drag under the waterline. There's not much room to add stabilisers retrospectively. I don't mind the rocking, but jumping over the side, then seeing the boat swing 50m in mild breezes in seconds is a bit disconcerting. we used to through a long line over the side, with a buoy, so as the boat swung, you could easily grab the line and pull back to it.
She's definitely not what I would personally be looking for in a yacht, but she sure is a lovely specimen of what she is. I think she'll do beautifully for someone who's looking for that kind of a sport and play boat. And that's one of the nicest VIP cabins I've seen yet. However, if you open that enormous sun roof on a summer night as you suggested, every mosquito within twenty miles will join you on your boat within the first ninety seconds. 🤣
Mosquitoes are weak flyers and most would not venture more than a few hundred feet off shore. I've never seen a mosquito when at least 2 miles offshore.
@@tecwzrd Well, there's a pretty big difference between a few hundred feet and two miles. You may be right at two miles out. But at anchor offshore in a protected harbor, which is exactly where a lot of people want to open the roof, there will be thousands of them.
10 hours at 25knots = 250 nm. that's with the bigger tanks (7200 litres). WOT is 660 lph, and for a boat that old, laden, clean hull and props top speed will now be approx 38-40 knots
Love your videos.. but this one seems you were in a hurry.. Few features are mentioned but not showed. Submergible platform, retractable ceiling.. engine room.. Also, looks like the 86s has that azimut problem of swinging a lot… sea looks flat
I really like the look of these azimut sport boats from this era. I think it was their best looking design. Now adays, they are way too aggressive looking, and not as sleek or classy.
Firstly you did good Presentation to bad boat. 😎👍 This azimut is not worth purchase... Interior is out of place, no proper cabins and this yacht is rocking throughout shooting of video. No range too. There's far better choices available in this price range. The only saving grace was your good Presentation. ☝️😎
There is a reason why you are NOT showing the engine room. You can tell by the exterior of the boat which is disgusting I’m sure the engine room looks worse. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Wow. Hi-low platform. Never seen that before and sun bed in front. That's something New.! Great video David.!!!!!!!!!!?
Hi David. Sleek Azimut styling, tons of exterior spaces, 4 decent cabins and special interior design. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
What he didn’t show you is how disgusting the engine room is on that vessel

Quite a treat ☺️. I remember when "Shu Shi" was on the market. Very sharp looking vessel. Really enjoyed the presentation. 😎👍👍
"Shu Shi" was one of first tours I've seen, and still one of my favourites.
*Yachts For Sale* Very nice, thank-you sir for taking the time to show us. Always interested in Seeing the Engine Room. Peace & grace, God Bless.
Happy new year😊👌 cod fish oil what's today you want it, prevention. Nice yacht
I love it, especially the sinks in the heads, happy holidays! 🎄🎁
What holiday do you mean?

@@Yachtsforsaleblog Well expressed. 😅😉 I assume that some money needs to be invested.

I wasn't expecting such a large bathroom
cool wish i could buy something like that someday
Looks great in 4K, David! I'll wait a whole month before I start nagging you to shoot in 8K! ;-)
Question: What music did you use for the first part????
Seems to be rolling quiet a bit, even in what looks like flat calm sea.
They do. Also affected by wind ... very little under the waterline to damp it all down.
Looming very nice.
Not completely On, for the exterior, but the interior and the layout is very nice!
Excellent choice.
I like the 'Muts with flybridges. Also water jets.
Wow, real bargain

Merry Christmas David. Does the yacht have 0 speed stabilers? I saw quite a bit of rocking and was wondering.
I am amazed at how many manufacturers use LED "brothel" lighting now.

Looks like it needs a good Gyro Stabilising system❓❓🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️

Why are people complaining about rolling?! Your on a boat!!!!
This yacht was probably ahead of its time really. Makes me wonder how it would perform with the foils seen on the new Sunseeker 131?
I can’t find any information about foils on the Sunseeker 131. Do you mind telling me where you read this? I’d love to find out more.

So much rolling! Is there no stabilizer?
The rolling is very nocticable 🤔.
No and no room to add - this is probably a 2005 boat.
Beautiful yacht. Looking at the rolling whilst stationery. Is that normal or would stabilisers help?.

you are the same voice for Bebahan?

Actually opening it, side doors and rear is great in the heat. The A/C from back then is not the best
I like those sinks. Are they glass or acrylic?
They are glass
What range does it have
10 hours at 25knots = 250 nm. that's with the bigger tanks (7200 litres). WOT is 660 lph, and for a boat that old, laden, clean hull and props top speed will now be approx 38-40 knots
10-11hr 24knot 450L/hr in good sea state, Tanks are 5500L
Nice!
Azimut vs Mangusta? A dilemma I wish that I had the money to be faced with.
Mangusta 😉
Love your videos.. but this one seems you were in a hurry..
Few features are mentioned but not showed. Submergible platform, retractable ceiling.. engine room..
Also, looks like the 86s has that azimut problem of swinging a lot… sea looks flat
I think they were probably running out of light. The end result though is fine.
One thing that was very obvious and not mentioned is stabilizers. I got sick just watching the video O_o
I want it nice
Increase the speed with 5 knots and Sardinia-France turns into Sardinia to Corsica.
Lekker man lekker
Leave it to Asimut to build something relatively cheaply,£1000000 + and then make her look like a about£10 000000+. She's beautiful
Not a lot for the asking price...the technical explanation was poor...
I really like the look of these azimut sport boats from this era. I think it was their best looking design. Now adays, they are way too aggressive looking, and not as sleek or classy.

Agree - he does a great job of his videos. Actually don't agree re the cabins (I owned an 86s). but the price is too high, even for a modernised one
Rather have a Sirena yacht!
..obviously no gyro..
Hit up kim kardashion she want to see this yacht in person
Not very stable at anchor.
1.3M water toy.
Needs stabilizers.
There is a reason why you are NOT showing the engine room. You can tell by the exterior of the boat which is disgusting I’m sure the engine room looks worse.
