Fast cruising is the selling proposition
Burgess has been appointed exclusive central agent for the sale of AMICA, a 31.4-metre Azimut delivered in 2008. The broker is advertising the yacht at US$5 million and is positioning her as a versatile, high-performance motor yacht for family cruising and entertaining.
AMICA's performance is a defining feature of the announcement: twin MTU engines are said to deliver a cruising speed around twenty-five knots and a maximum speed around twenty-eight knots. Those figures distinguish her from much slower displacement yachts intended primarily for economical long-distance passagemaking.
Actual speed and fuel consumption will depend on hull condition, loading, weather and machinery health. Anyone seriously considering the purchase should request recent sea-trial and maintenance data rather than rely on brochure figures alone.
Five cabins for a varied guest party
The accommodation is advertised for ten guests in five cabins, including a master suite and a mix of double and twin rooms. That arrangement gives a purchaser flexibility for children, friends or different combinations of adult guests.
Accommodation capacity should be reviewed alongside flag requirements and practical crew arrangements. A flexible interior may have little value if the circulation, storage and service areas are not appropriate for the way an owner intends to travel.
For a 2008-built vessel, inspection should pay attention to refurbishment records, bathrooms, climate control and the age of electrical equipment. These areas can have a major influence on future expenditure even when the yacht presents attractively.
Outdoor areas designed for leisure
A three-deck arrangement gives AMICA multiple places to gather, with an elevated sun deck including a jacuzzi and informal seating. On the main deck, the spaces are intended to connect entertaining with views across the water.
Large glazing and a forward sunpad arrangement contribute to the Italian yacht's visual appeal, but owners should also assess practical shade and seating for changing weather. A comfortable onboard lifestyle depends on many details that can be missed in a short photographic tour.
The yacht's comparatively shallow draught is highlighted by Burgess as helpful for approaching destinations such as the Bahamas. Local charts, loading and navigation advice remain essential, because a shallow-draught claim is not permission to ignore actual depths.
A Fort Lauderdale sales opportunity
Burgess says AMICA is in Fort Lauderdale and is due to appear at Superyacht Village during the 2026 show. This creates a useful chance to examine her equipment, cabin configuration and exterior circulation while discussing the broker's current particulars.
The broker includes a specific legal qualification that the yacht is not for sale to US clients while in US waters. Such restrictions require careful explanation to a prospective purchaser and should be reviewed with qualified advisers before any transaction planning.
A show display is an invitation to inspect, not a substitute for a professional survey or comprehensive legal review. Buyers should also ask which equipment, tenders and personal items are included in the stated price.
The right buyer for AMICA
This Azimut is best understood as an energetic, relatively compact luxury yacht for owners who value quicker passages and a lively programme on deck. That is a different proposition from the emphasis on range and internal volume of a larger explorer.
The announced US$5 million figure is an asking price only, and the boat's value will depend on documented condition, the precise specification and the costs a future owner faces. There is no reason to assume an outcome from the listing alone.
For a buyer seeking a fast Italian motor yacht with accommodation for ten, the October announcement makes AMICA a candidate for close inspection. The decisive comparison should be between real operating needs and verified evidence rather than headline speed or style alone.
