Verdict
The 2018 Azimut S7 is a fast, well-finished sport yacht with strong styling, IPS pod performance, and a genuinely usable 4-cabin layout. It is best for owners who want modern looks and easy handling rather than maximum interior volume or bargain pricing.
Pros
- +Distinctive sport-yacht design with carbon-fibre construction
- +Triple Volvo Penta IPS 1050 setup supports high speed and efficient cruising
- +Joystick, autopilot, and active trim control improve close-quarters handling
- +4 guest cabins and 3 bathrooms make it practical for family use
Cons
- −Listed length and berth figures can be inconsistent across sources
- −Interior volume is good, but not class-leading for a 71-foot yacht
- −Running costs are likely higher than simpler twin-engine competitors
- −Value depends heavily on condition and hours
The Azimut S7 is a 71-foot sport yacht with sharp, contemporary lines and a carbon-fibre/GRP build that helps keep weight under control. It is a design-led boat, and the styling is one of its main strengths, especially for buyers who want a more aggressive profile than a conventional flybridge yacht.
On the water, the triple Volvo Penta D13 IPS 1050 package gives the S7 the performance expected of a premium sport yacht, with published top speeds around 35-36 knots and cruising speeds in the mid-to-high 20s. The IPS system, joystick driving, active trim control, and integrated navigation/monitoring package should make it easier to berth and maneuver than many yachts of similar size.
Inside, the layout is strong for owner-operator or family cruising, with 4 guest cabins, 3 bathrooms, and berths for 8 plus crew in the official configuration. Comfort is helped by air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a Seakeeper stabilizer on the listed boat, although the S7 is still more focused on style and performance than maximum volume.
From a value perspective, the S7 sits in the premium end of the market: it offers a lot of technology, fast cruising, and a respected builder name, but buyers should expect corresponding ownership costs. It makes the most sense for someone prioritizing brand appeal, handling, and sporty design over absolute space or the lowest running expense.
