Joystick control modernises low-speed handling
The yacht is fitted with a Xenta joystick docking system that coordinates engines and thrusters. A separate cockpit engine-control station adds another useful position for stern-to manoeuvring and close-quarters operation.
These systems materially reduce workload on a 62-foot yacht, particularly for owners cruising without a permanent professional crew. They also make the boat more approachable for buyers moving up from smaller motor yachts.
The electronics package is unusually comprehensive
Navigation equipment includes dual Garmin 7612 multifunction displays, Garmin xHD2 open-array radar, Raymarine autopilot and a Quick chain-counter display. FLIR night vision adds another layer of awareness for low-light operation.
An Intellian HD satellite television antenna and upgraded communications equipment support longer stays aboard. The combination shows how an older yacht can remain relevant when electronics have been updated rather than left in original condition.
Caterpillar power supports the cruising platform
The listing identifies Caterpillar diesel engines and a fuel capacity of approximately 713 gallons. Fresh-water capacity is around 238 gallons, with a 100-gallon holding tank, supporting multi-day cruising away from home port.
The boat also carries spare props and shafts together with offshore safety equipment. These practical items can be valuable to an owner planning longer trips because they reduce dependence on immediate shoreside support.
Sandusky positions the yacht for Great Lakes ownership
The yacht is located in Sandusky, Ohio, giving access to Lake Erie and the wider Great Lakes network. Freshwater use can be attractive to buyers concerned about corrosion, although service history and winter storage still require careful review.
At $625,000, the Azimut 62 offers Italian flybridge styling with modernised handling and electronics. The combination of joystick docking, night vision and updated Garmin systems gives the listing more practical appeal than its 2010 build year alone might suggest.
