The Azimut Atlantis 45 is a 47'11" (14.6 m) sport cruiser with a vacuum-infused GRP hull and a sleek, performance-coupé stance. Designed by Neo Design for the exterior and Azimut for the interior, it features a retractable hardtop that opens the entire main deck to the sun, creating a dynamic, open-air cockpit. The layout includes two ensuite double cabins and berths in the saloon, accommodating up to four guests comfortably. Its sporty profile, wide beam of 4.2 m, and low draft of 1.1 m contribute to both aesthetic appeal and on-water agility.
On the water, the Atlantis 45 excels with twin Volvo Penta IPS 650 engines (480 hp each, 960 hp total), enabling a maximum speed of up to 35 knots and a cruising speed of 28–30 knots. The IPS drive system ensures excellent handling, maneuverability, and reduced vibration, while the Volvo joystick with Skyhook allows precise docking even in challenging conditions. Sea trials have confirmed speeds exceeding 35 knots, and fuel consumption is optimized at lower speeds (58 L/h at 11.5 knots), though it rises to 133 L/h at 28 knots. The range is approximately 210 nm at cruising speed, limited by the 1,000L fuel tank.
Comfort and livability are well-addressed for a weekender, with air conditioning, WiFi, autopilot, GPS, and upgraded décor. The interior is bright and practical, featuring a convertible dinette and two heads with showers. Advanced tech like the Seakeeper 6 stabilizer, Garmin 12" screens, and FLIR night vision enhance the experience. However, the 350L water tank and lack of crew space mean it's best suited for short trips and owner-operated use. At a starting price of €565,000 (~$820,000), it offers strong value for a high-performance, luxury express yacht with Italian craftsmanship and modern amenities.
