Some yachts look impressive at the dock.
Others tell a story the moment you step aboard.
This 85’ Azimut Ultimate does both.
From her unmistakable Italian lines to the warmth of her high-gloss cherry interior, she delivers the scale, layout, and presence that made Azimut’s 85 Ultimate one of the most admired yachts of her era. What truly separates her, however, is the level of care and reinvestment she has received over the past several years.
She is not simply maintained — she has been continually upgraded.
Interior & Layout
The layout offers four beautifully appointed staterooms, each with its own private head, allowing family and guests to enjoy true comfort and privacy. Crew quarters for three are positioned aft, ensuring the owner’s party maintains complete separation.
The interior has benefited from a full soft-goods refit including updated upholstery, carpeting, and furnishings. Modern smart TVs, refreshed audio systems, and updated climate control bring a contemporary feel while preserving the yacht’s timeless character.
She feels fresh. She feels cared for. She feels ready.
Electronics & Helm
In 2025, the vessel underwent a meaningful electronics modernization. Both the wheelhouse and flybridge are fully networked with new Garmin radar, new Garmin autopilot, AIS tracking, integrated chartplotters, VHF, depth sounder, and compass. A new joystick steering system and Yacht Controller significantly enhance close-quarters maneuvering and docking confidence.
The result is a helm experience that feels current, intuitive, and capable.
Mechanical & Systems
This is where the yacht truly stands out.
The MTU engines have received service including new gaskets, seals, components, and start switches. Both generators were rebuilt in 2025. Heat exchangers have been serviced. Steering hydraulics were updated with new lines and rams. Cutlass bearings were replaced, props reconditioned, and shafts aligned.
In September 2025 she received fresh bottom paint and new Prop Speed on the running gear.
Additional major upgrades include:
All new batteries
Watermaker rebuilt
All through-hull valves replaced
New windlass with chain
Hydraulic bow thruster
UV lights installed in A/C system
Fire system re-certified
New 8- and 6-person life rafts
New security camera system and alarm
The amount of deferred maintenance addressed and capital reinvested here is substantial — and it shows.
Comfort & Lifestyle Upgrades
Ownership enjoyment has clearly been a priority:
New GE full-size refrigerator
New dishwasher
Washer/dryer
New salon A/C unit and new wheelhouse A/C units
All toilets rebuilt
New 50” smart TVs in master, VIP, and aft deck
New TVs in guest cabins
Updated entertainment and audio systems
New flybridge refrigerator and freezer
New aft deck sofa
New canvas, cushions, and bimini
LED lighting throughout
Underwater lights
In October 2025 she completed a full compound and wax detail and presents beautifully.
The Opportunity
An 85’ yacht represents scale, presence, and capability. Finding one where the difficult work has already been done — engines serviced, generators rebuilt, steering upgraded, electronics modernized — is rare.
This Azimut offers that opportunity.
She is a yacht you can step aboard and use.
A yacht that reflects thoughtful ownership.
A yacht ready for her next chapter.
More than a yacht, she is an investment in life’s most precious moments and memories.
Additional records and documentation may be available upon request.
