Urteil
The 2018 Azimut 50 is a well-balanced flybridge yacht with Italian styling, strong twin-diesel performance, and a practical three-cabin layout for family cruising or charter use. It is not the largest or most economical 50-footer, but it offers good comfort, decent range, and a proven platform.

The Azimut 50 Gen 2 is a classic Italian flybridge yacht with clean exterior lines, a roomy aft deck, and a layout aimed at private cruising and charter appeal. Publicly listed specifications for the 2018 model show a 52'1" to 52'9" length overall, a 15'3" beam, and GRP construction, which supports a solid, established design rather than an ultra-lightweight performance focus.
On the water, twin Volvo Penta D11 diesels rated at 670 hp each give the boat respectable pace, with published figures around 26 knots cruising and up to 32 knots top speed. That places it firmly in the capable family-flybridge category: fast enough for efficient passage making, with shaft-drive simplicity and predictable handling, but not a sharp-edged sports boat.
Livability is a major strength. Verified specifications point to three cabins, two bathrooms, and berths for six, plus air conditioning and wifi, which make it suited to multi-night stays. The fuel capacity of 581 gallons and fresh-water capacity of about 156 gallons are useful for a boat in this size range, especially for coastal cruising or charter rotations.
In value terms, the Azimut 50 remains attractive if the buyer prioritizes styling, brand appeal, and a proven layout over lowest ownership cost. It is a strong all-rounder, but the cabin count, running costs, and some inconsistent listing data mean prospective buyers should verify the exact build sheet and equipment inventory before committing.
