The Azimut 39 Fly (2000–06) showcases Azimut’s signature sleek styling and high-quality detailing, even in its compact 39'10" form. Its deep-V hull with 17° aft deadrise ensures stable, confident handling in varied conditions. The layout supports 4 guests comfortably across 2 cabins, with generous side decks and easy access to the flybridge via a staircase. Though the flybridge is small, it includes sun pad cushions for relaxing.

On the water, twin Caterpillar 3126 350hp engines (725 hours) deliver a cruise speed of 24–26 knots and a top speed near 30 knots. The boat handles fantastically, with owners praising its quick, efficient performance. Fuel capacity is 264 gallons, supporting overnight cruising. The deep-V design and balanced weight (25,386 lbs) contribute to smooth rides.

Comfort and livability are well-addressed for a yacht under 40 feet, with 132 gallons of water and 40 gallons of waste capacity. While some Italian components are hard to source, many owners have successfully replaced them with US equivalents. Minor window leaks have been noted but are manageable with resealing.

Value is exceptional at €149,950, especially given the low engine hours and recent refit history. The Azimut 39 Fly stands out as a smart, low-maintenance choice for those drawn to flybridge versatility and Italian elegance in a compact package.
