Avis sur le 116ft Azimut with water toys serving North East USA, South Florida & Bahamas

The Azimut Grande 116 is a classic Italian flybridge design from 2008, built in GRP with the brand’s typical emphasis on sleek lines and usable deck volume. Public listings show a length around 35.4–35.5 meters, a beam near 7.4–7.65 meters, and a layout that is generally configured for 10 to 12 guests in 5 cabins, depending on the specific yacht and refit.[3][5][8][10]

On the water, this model is typically reported with twin MTU diesel engines and speeds in the mid-20-knot range, with some listings showing up to 28 knots and others closer to 25–26 knots.[3][5][8][13][14] That places it in the solid-performance category for a yacht of this era: quick enough for Northeast-to-Bahamas style cruising, but not especially efficient by newer standards. The handling profile should be straightforward for experienced crew, with the shaft-drive setup and planing hull favoring stable cruising over ultra-shallow access.[5][9][13]

Comfort and livability are strong points, especially for private use or charter. The yacht’s size and flybridge layout provide good separation between guest and crew areas, and the reported 5-cabin arrangement makes it practical for families or mixed groups.[3][5][13][16] For buyers, value depends mainly on condition, engine hours, and the quality of any upgrades; as a 2008 yacht, it can offer good volume for the money, but only if maintenance and refit records are strong.[1][8][12]
