Avis sur le Panthera

The Azimut 86 has the low, aggressive styling expected from the builder’s open sports-yacht line, with a focus on speed, exterior presence and a social deck layout. For a 2014 model, it remains visually current if well maintained, though the exact published specifications vary across market listings for the 86 and 86S variant.

On the water, this is a performance-first yacht rather than a sedate cruiser. Public listings place top speed in the high 30s to mid-40-knot range depending on configuration, which is consistent with the model’s planing hull and sporty intent. Handling should be lively and responsive, but buyers should expect the trade-off typical of fast open yachts: more noise, higher fuel burn and less ride softness than a heavier flybridge design.

Comfort is strong for a yacht in this category, especially with 4 cabins and an 8-guest charter capacity. The layout is well suited to short-to-medium stays, though interior volume and weather protection will not match a raised-pilothouse or enclosed flybridge yacht of similar length. As used-boat value, it is best viewed as a premium lifestyle purchase where condition, refit history and engine care matter more than age alone.
