95 Azimut, the Fly Range Flagship Reviewed

A flagship built only twelve times

The 95 Azimut was the flagship of the builder's Fly range in the late 2000s, a 30-meter flybridge at the top of the builder's mainstream range. YachtBuyer records development starting in 2006, the first hull completed in 2007 and production ending in 2014, with just 12 boats built. That rarity shapes everything about owning one: few comparables, a tight-knit broker market and boats that are almost always individually specified and refitted.

Listings use Azimut 95, 95 Azimut and Azimut Yachts 95 interchangeably. The one confusion to avoid is the Azimut Grande 95 RPH, a different raised-pilothouse design launched in 2014, covered at the end of this page.

Righini's glass and 120 square meters outside

Stefano Righini drew a dynamic profile around three very large windows of about 3 square meters each, according to Azimut, so the saloon is bathed in daylight and the view runs almost uninterrupted. Inside, a 2010 listing describes nearly sole-to-ceiling saloon windows that give panoramic views from the seating. The boat dedicates about 120 square meters to outdoor living, and Azimut called the flybridge one of the largest in its class.

The flybridge layout reflects that size. Forward, a dinette sits near the helm so guests can chat with whoever is driving. Aft, the deck can host three chaise lounges or the tender, which leaves the stern lifting platform free for one or two jet skis. A bar serves a table for eight to ten, and a bimini or, on some boats, a hardtop with a retractable sunroof provides shade. A davit handles the tender. Down on the main deck, the cockpit has a C-shaped sofa and table and a sunpad built into the structure to shelter guests from the wind, while the foredeck adds a second C-shaped settee and sunpads under an optional bimini.

Inside a 30-meter Azimut

Carlo Galeazzi designed the interior. On the main deck, sliding glass doors lead from the cockpit into a saloon with three leather sofas, a wet bar and an entertainment center, with the dining area forward. One 2013 boat separates dining and saloon with a granite-topped buffet cabinet and has a full bar with glass display cases to port. A C-shaped settee sits across from the lower helm, a good spot for coffee while under way.

Below, four guest cabins include a full-beam master amidships with hull windows, reached on at least one boat by a private stairway from the port side of the saloon, and a VIP reached by a forward stairway from the lower helm. Owners specified the remaining two guest cabins as doubles or twins, which is why listings differ. YachtBuyer counts six guest heads including a day head, and crew of four in two cabins with two heads. The 2013 example's master bathroom has both a shower and a Jacuzzi tub.

Twin Caterpillars and what to expect under way

Every 95 we found runs twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesels, but ratings vary with build year. YachtBuyer lists 1,900 hp each, a 2010 boat is described with 1,825 hp engines and a 2013 boat with 1,925 hp. YachtBuyer quotes 26 knots maximum and 22 knots cruise, while the 2010 boat's broker reports a 28-knot top end, 22 knots as a comfortable cruise and just over 450 nautical miles of range at a 14-knot jog.

That last number is the useful one. With 3,170 gallons of fuel, a 95 slowed to the mid-teens can cover Florida to the northern Bahamas and back, or a long Mediterranean leg, without refueling. At fast cruise it will burn heavily, and no magazine sea trial with a published fuel table was available to us, so ask for engine logs from the boat you are considering.

The refit economics of a 95

Two recent US listings tell the story of this model in 2026. A 2010 boat spent more than $1 million on a refit in 2021 and was listed at $3.179 million in 2024 with trades considered. A 2013 boat with more than $1 million of practical updates asked $3.2 million in Fort Lauderdale in 2025. In other words, owners are pouring seven figures into these yachts and asking roughly the same price as unrefitted boats did a few years ago.

For a buyer that is good news. A recently refitted 95 can be the cheapest way into a 30-meter flybridge with fresh systems, because the seller rarely recovers the refit cost. The flip side is that an unrefitted boat should be priced well below these numbers, since bringing one up to the same standard costs about as much.

Market behavior and running costs

YachtBuyer saw six of the 12 boats come to market over a recent three-year window, averaging about 605 days listed and nearly 20 percent off their first ask, and at its latest check none were listed. Price markers sat around $2.7 to $3.5 million. Expect long negotiations and be ready to move when a well-kept boat appears.

Running a 30-meter yacht is a serious commitment. Four crew, insurance, dockage for a near-100-foot boat, annual yard periods and systems maintenance typically put fixed costs between roughly $450,000 and $800,000 a year before fuel, depending on use and flag. If charter is part of the plan, check the boat's registration, load-line and compliance status early, since a yacht of this length faces stricter rules than a sub-24-meter boat.

The Grande 95 RPH is a different yacht

In 2014 Azimut launched the Grande 95 RPH, a raised-pilothouse design that shares the number but not the platform. Yachting lists it at 93 feet 11 inches overall with a 22-foot 9-inch beam, a 6-foot 9-inch draft, 242,500 pounds displacement and twin 2,200 hp MTU 16V 2000 M84 diesels. PMY reported that despite nearly 29 meters overall it was designed to fall inside the 24-meter load-line cutoff so it could be registered as a pleasure craft in Europe, and Yachting described Dragon and American versions for different markets.

On the brokerage market the two are easy to separate. The Azimut 95 is a 2007 to 2014 Righini flybridge on Caterpillars; the Grande 95 RPH is a later raised-pilothouse boat on MTUs, with a pivoting transom door that forms a large swim platform. Some listings mix descriptions of the two, so verify the model from the builder's hull identification number.
