Fly 68 adds a larger sub-24m option in Malta

Azimut has confirmed the Fly 68 for the Malta Boat Show from 29 October to 1 November 2026. At 20.98 metres overall, the model sits well below the 24-metre boundary while offering four guest cabins and a separate crew cabin.

The yacht will appear alongside the smaller Fly 53 and larger Azimut models, giving visitors a useful range of reference points. For buyers considering a step up from a 50- to 60-foot yacht, the Fly 68 shows how much additional volume can be gained without entering superyacht scale.

Three main-deck layouts support different lifestyles

Azimut offers three main-deck configurations for the Fly 68, allowing owners to choose between more open social arrangements and layouts that provide greater separation around the galley. This flexibility reflects the fact that owners use yachts differently even when overall dimensions are similar.

The ability to choose between privacy and open-plan living can be especially important for families who sometimes operate privately and at other times carry crew or entertain larger groups. Malta visitors can discuss those layout choices while inspecting the physical proportions of the yacht.

Carbon fibre helps control weight aloft

Azimut uses carbon fibre in the upper structure to reduce weight while preserving interior volume and stability. The builder says the approach can lighten selected laminated components substantially, helping keep the centre of gravity under control despite the yacht's large flybridge and generous accommodation.

The result is intended to support both efficiency and handling. A three-zone flybridge provides dedicated areas for sunbathing, dining and social use, while the bow adds another convertible lounge that can shift between seating and sunpad arrangements.

IPS propulsion targets efficiency and easy control

Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 engines provide up to 32 knots, with Azimut quoting a 27-knot fast cruising speed. The pod arrangement is paired with hull optimisation and carbon construction to reduce fuel use compared with a similar shaft-driven yacht of the same size.

Joystick control, automated trim and integrated navigation systems are designed to make the yacht approachable despite its increased scale. For owners cruising between Malta, Sicily and the wider Mediterranean, those handling features can be as important as the additional cabin and flybridge space.
