The stern becomes an outdoor room

Azimut calls the Seadeck 6's open stern arrangement the Fun Island. Folding side wings and a swimming platform create more usable space beside the water when the yacht is safely at anchor.

The concept is especially appealing when passengers want to swim, sunbathe and speak to friends without feeling divided by a high transom. Deployment of moving platforms still requires care and appropriate conditions.

Connected indoor and outdoor spaces

Large openings encourage the saloon and cockpit to function as one social area, linking sheltered seating with activities outside. The design helps guests remain together even when they have different preferences for shade.

This relationship should be assessed on a real boat. Families need usable circulation routes, well-positioned storage and safe access between the main deck and the waterside terrace.

Three cabins and room for crew

The 17.25-metre yacht provides three guest cabins for six people, plus a separate crew space. With a 5.05-metre maximum beam, it offers substantial volume without requiring the length of a much larger yacht.

Some owners will use crew assistance during longer journeys, while others may operate with family members. Privacy, everyday stowage and the number of bathrooms are worth discussing before purchase.

A different approach to materials

Azimut describes the use of cork, recycled or recyclable material choices and carbon-fibre construction intended to reduce overall weight. The brand promotes an energy-conscious design philosophy.

Lower-impact design is a relative concept, not evidence that a powered yacht has no emissions. Prospective owners should ask for relevant fuel-consumption evidence and clarify how their chosen equipment affects performance.

Coupé and Sundeck choices

Azimut offers different exterior layouts, including a Sundeck configuration with another outdoor social area. This choice changes the upper-deck experience while retaining the characteristic Fun Island at the stern.

Buyers should decide whether additional open-air seating matters for their group and local climate. Shelter, rail placement and deck movement are important considerations with either layout.

Voyage planning remains essential

The builder lists triple Volvo Penta IPS power, a 2,400-litre fuel tank and 590 litres of freshwater capacity. Published performance figures come from defined test conditions.

Cruising range and comfort depend on weather, speed, loading and reserves. Owners should seek representative sea-trial figures for the actual configuration before relying on a brochure calculation.
