Azimut 55 for Sale: Price, Specs and Buying Guide

Running costs

These are estimates: get a specific quote from a local yard and engine agent before budgeting against them. As a planing-hull motor yacht, fuel burn is a much bigger line item here than on any sailing model in this guide, so budget for Andaman Sea or Gulf of Thailand cruising distances accordingly rather than assuming sailboat economics.

Generator hours and air conditioning chiller capacity matter more than on a sailboat too, since a flybridge motor yacht this size typically runs its systems near-continuously at anchor in Southeast Asian heat. Haul-out and antifouling costs also run higher than for a similarly sized catamaran or monohull, since a planing hull this size needs a bigger lift and more bottom paint. Confirm bunkering and haul-out pricing directly with whichever Phuket yard your hull will use.

Azimut 55 price in 2026

Used Azimut 55s span a wide $350,000 to $1,550,000 as of 2026 market range, and hull year plus engine configuration explain almost all of that spread. A confirmed used range of roughly $271,540 to $1,094,920 covers 2001 to 2018 model years specifically, while recent third-generation hulls built 2018 to 2022, and the larger Azimut 60, command a premium above that confirmed range. Treat the top of our stated range as an estimate and verify it against current listings rather than settled fact.

Because this model has been built continuously since the early 2010s under more than one drive configuration, confirm the exact setup, IPS pod-drive or conventional shaft-drive, against the specific listing before comparing two boats on price alone. Azimut 55 on its own tells you less than it looks like it should, given how much has changed under the deck over more than a decade of production.

What the tropical survey must catch

Given how many engine configurations and hull years this model spans, the survey needs to confirm specifics, not just general condition. Our tropical survey checklist covers the general points; for the Azimut 55, have the surveyor also confirm:

• Pod-drive seals, steering cylinders and joystick-docking software currency on IPS-equipped examples
• Generator hours and air conditioning chiller capacity, run near-continuously in Southeast Asian heat at anchor
• Gelcoat and teak deck condition after UV and tropical rain-cycle exposure
• Osmosis and blistering survey on the hull below the waterline
• Stringer and transom condition, especially on older hulls
• Charter-fleet wear, including any lightning-strike or electronics-surge history, if the hull was sourced from a Thailand-based crewed charter operation
• Electronics and multifunction-display software and version currency

Who the Azimut 55 suits in Southeast Asia

This suits a buyer who wants flybridge motor-yacht comfort and Italian styling rather than a sailing boat, and who is buying where the brand already has real brokerage depth. Phuket is the clearest fit in this dataset, backed by actual YachtWorld listing data rather than assumption, and the Singapore-adjacent brokerage market extends that reach for buyers based around the Malacca Strait.

Owners considering charter income should note that Ao Po Grand and Phuket Yacht Haven both offer 24-hour, tide-free access suited to a planing hull this size coming and going on charter days, and a boat this size sits well under the newer Thai Charter License's 24 metre threshold for foreign-flagged charter vessels, so it would operate under Thailand's standard registration rather than that superyacht-specific regime, confirm the exact rules with a Thai maritime lawyer before committing to a charter plan.

A buyer comparing flybridge motor yachts at similar money should look at the Princess F55, the Monte Carlo 6, or the Sunseeker Manhattan 52, all confirmed among the same top-listed brands in this market.
