Azimut S6: Italy's Most Thrilling Sport Cruiser

Bold design, genuine performance, and a cabin that surprises — the S6 redefines the midsize class

The Azimut S6 turns heads wherever it goes. Penned by Alberto Mancini and built to deliver genuine performance, it is the sports car of the marina — and in our view, the Sport Cruiser of the Year.

Exterior Styling

The S6's exterior is dramatic by design — deep hull graphics, sharp bow lines, and an open stern platform that makes the most of the boat's 17-metre length. It is, without question, one of the most striking designs currently on the water.

Performance Figures

Twin Volvo IPS 950 drives launch the S6 to a top speed of 34 knots. Cruise at 26 knots and fuel consumption remains acceptable for a boat of this performance specification. The ride through a chop is composed and reassuring.

Cabin Comfort

For a sport cruiser, the cabin surprises. Full standing headroom, a proper galley, and two separate sleeping areas make overnight passages genuinely comfortable. Azimut has not compromised practicality for the sake of sportiness.
