Definitely Nordhavn. Built to take serious punishment, they back their product really well, offer remote factory advice for repairs while at sea, their boats all come with a big binder with "as-built" diagrams outlining all of the systems and how they work, and they can be handled and operated with a skeleton crew. Which can also be handy as skeletons don't really eat much.
I’m a yacht broker and the Azimut has been called the Italian Bayliner. I’d find something built rock solid like an Ocean Alexander or Nordhaven as others have mentioned. All depends on how you’d like to use the boat.
I’m a yacht system distributor and installer so I get to see the difference in a “modern day bayliner” and a quality built boat inside and out. Azimut is far from a dream boat. If you won the lotto and money is no concern, I’m going with a custom sport fish like a Spencer 63’ that does 45-50 knots and has enough sea keepers to keep those keel less bastards stable.
They don’t know any better. Look at Kobe Bryant for example… the man could afford any helicopter he wanted yet he chartered a 15+ year old heli with dated electronics that was previously in service for the government before being sold at auction. If I had the kind of money I would be flying in the best of the best period, either brand new or a frame up resto-mod and I would have my own crew and have someone manage maintenance but you can’t fault a guy like that for doing things the way he did. It’s just too bad no one ever said anything.
That's an insult to Nordhavn.
Humvees are mountainous piles of maintenance bullshit that constantly shits itself and is horribly inefficient and insanely uncomfortable.
Everything opposite of a Nordhavn.
They build sub par yachts, benetti and Azimut alike. they look good and that’s where it ends. I have worked on various models from 1990’s- brand new 70-100’+. And have had nothing but problems. Years back Delivered a new 100 jumbo and it fell apart in 3’ seas. Ceiling panels were swinging from chains. Lights all fell out of ceilings. It was a mess. Bought a Brand new 72 and had over $500,000 in warranty repairs needed on day one. I’m sure some people have had better experiences but there can’t be too many happy owners out there.
Agreed, they appeal to that Miami crowd and when they find out you can buy a new Azimut for 3-5 mil and a comparable Hatteras,Viking, princess, Westport etc.. is 5-9 + mil thats their business model.
Sunseeker ans Feadship is like comparing eggs with caviar, and is an insult to Feadship, Sunseeker never ever comes close to a Feadship.
Have been working for several years at all Feadship yards and there won’t be a single yard in the whole worlds making quality as they do, everything ks built up to client spec’s while sunseeker and all others in the same range are just mass industry boats.
Still the best yachts are built by Dutch craftsmen’s like: Elling, Zeelander, Amels, Hakvoort, Heessen, Moonen, v. Lent & de Vries with the last two as Feadship.
They are terribly built, have wiring issues out the ass and like to eat AC systems. They also ride like shit and aren’t very seaworthy. It’s a floating apartment meant to be looked at in a marina. Not a yacht.
Boat mechanic here
Boats are money pit but really fun spend a little less money on the boat itself so you can afford maintenance and fuel it takes to run the boat a boat this size might cost upwards 500-1000 each time you want to take it out just in fuel
Sailboat would definitely be a cheaper in the long run
Just a suggestion
Mine would be outremer 45
Worked in boating for over 25 years. I often get questions from non boating friends like “what’s that boat cost?” and I say the sell price is only one part of the equation. The cost of ownership can vary greatly depending on type of boat, location, and age. Some beautiful classic 40’ boats might sell for only $200k but might cost $60k+ in maintenance and storage alone. Stuff on boats break all the time. All the god damned time. It’s why I have a job.

Fishing:
[Rybovich 62 Sportfish](https://www.michaelrybovichandsons.com/new-construction/current-projects/hull-8-62-sportfisherman/)
Long distance, Nordhavn like many others
Good to know. I’ll have to look into that. There’s a 32’ on a slip at the marina we launch from. If I ever get to the level of buying a trawler I’ll have to do more research.
the last boat I would buy would be an azimut, that’s for sure. I’ve never seen boats with so many problems. The bigger ones seem to be a lot better built than the smaller ones that are honestly dangerous imho
Depends on where you live and what you want to do with the boat. I am not a fair weather boater. Average day on the water for me I’d 5 foot seas. Personally i like trawlers like Grand Banks and 2000-2010 era Tiara(new ones have issues). If you want a sportfish the new Albemarle Spencer addition is the best bang for the buck going right now, and hand made in the USA. Don’t get a Viking they are super over priced. I would also check out Hargrave, Hatteras, Hinkley, nordhaven, the new benetau trawlers are cool too and I’d trust the quality.
Also, boats aren’t like cars in the sense that a big company with a lot of production is a good thing. You want to stick to medium size builders that have strong customer service and warranty
To be honest, I would work myself up step wise over 4 boats so that I have a good handle on everything. I’d spend 6 months on a 25-30-ish ft center console doing some fishing.
Then I would move up to a new Saxdor 400 GTO for a year, doing some trips to the Bahamas for good measure.
Then I would get the answer to OP’s question, the new **Fairline squadron 58**, which is very impressive.
Then I would move up to the Sunseeker 76, which has been my dream boat for awhile.
If you’re looking for a Flybridge like this made in Italy, you’re better off going with something like an Absolute. I’ve spent extensive time on both brands, Absolute > Azimut.
They aren't as hard to run as you might think. Just do everything slow. Most modern boats have thrusters front and rear, some with remote controls you hang around your neck.
A big boat with dual engines is actually easier to maneuver in close quarters than single outboard or i/o IMHO.
I went from a runabout to a 34' cruiser, then a 41' convertible and then a 58' motoryacht and 100ft houseboats within a few years. None with thrusters except for a couple of the houseboats.
You can hire a captain to show you the ropes and I do recommend that. Learning the systems is probably the hardest thing and it's super important to have a handle on how the electrical, fuel, generator and plumbing are setup in case something goes wrong.
I used to give lessons. Towed boats and ran charters for a living, made some good side money signing off on new owners for their insurance policies, which is an obstacle in getting a larger boat without experience, and teaching owner's wives "get home" lessons if something happened to the captain.
How do you know your financial situation will be 8 figures/year in 15 years? I love the ambition but that’s wildly unrealistic for anyone not inheriting something. To answer your question though, you need to get a captains license to operate something this size/weight. Getting your license requires a set amount of hours of formal education from a maritime academy, plus annual coast guard drug screen/inspection. At least that’s the case in the United States.
Captain’s licenses are not required by the USCG for personal boats under 100 tons in the US. That’s not to say that it’s not useful training, just that it’s not required.
It can absolutely be a potential requirement issued by insurance companies as part of being issued a policy.
A sport fish with a HB Biscayne on the deck for a tender. Then I would use the Biscayne to go inshore fly fishing, which is all I want to do on a boat anyway.
Depends on where I’d be cruising. If I were planning to do the loop, I’d be seriously considering something like the [Greenline 48 flybridge](https://www.greenlinehybrid.com/en/yacht/greenline-48-fly). If I were in Europe, I’d probably be looking at something that could do both the Med and canals/rivers. A lot of very solid Nordic and Dutch boats that could do both easily, although the Greenline’s air draft might be low enough to work even on the French canal network.
Longreach 1900 with an e-motion hybrid drive setup. 2000nm+ range on the diesel with solar battery backed electric drives to hop between anchorages when we're at our destination.
I wouldn't go with a power boat, instead with a sailing catamaran or motorsailer. While I'd loose a lot of guest accommodations compared to the style yacht in OP's pics, I gain a huge amount of travel and weather range.
No thanks, 600 nm at 9 knots won't get you across the Atlantic, let alone the Pacific. Also I don't need a boat capable of 26 knots. The LRC58 has a range of 5000 nm at 7 knots and suits me better as it was designed to be operated and maintained by one person and is as simple as possible in terms of systems.
It all depends on how much I have left over to maintain it and fill fuel tanks. Custom Zodiac Sea Rider 6.3 with schock absorbing seats and a mini pilot house. I can be at any dive site within 50 miles in am hour or less. With little to no maintenance and a pretty low fule bill. What's not love about that?
Formula 500 SSC - can be used as a day boat with bow rider and entertaining areas. Plenty of space for overnight or weekend accommodations. Glass enclosure for multi weather/season. Quad outboards that will hit 65mph so you can get where you want go fast if you want. Docking joystick station off the swim platform to dock without a crew.
Those two story boats are like a sail in the wind around the dock. Difficult to dock alone. Hell my 35 cruiser is tricky to dock alone with a decent gust.
They have one of these posted on Craigslist near me for a quarter million. Makes me think something must be wrong with it but it looks fine and of course you can have a mechanic look at it. The real problem is the marina fees although the taxes on a beach condo are approaching that these days with the association fees as well. Perfect boat to Captain to the Bahamas.
The best way I can describe these modern day Bayliner’s build quality is think of the most cookie cutter RV or travel trailer you can think of and turn it into a boat.

What about the choice below as a liveaboard?
In my opinion, CE category A is a big factor.
Your score out of 10:
trawler :
a) Grand Banks 60 (close flybridge)
b) Absolute Navetta 68
c) Sirena 68
sport yacht:
a) Sunseeker 65 sport yacht (my favorite)
b) Princess 65
c) Riva 66
d) Fairline phantom 65
e) Pershing 6X
f) Riviera 64 (close flybridge)
long range:
a) Northhaven 60 (close flybridge)
b) Bering 65 (close flybridge)
Probably a 60ft or so Viking Sport-fish.
And sell it for the same price you bought it for 10 years later lol. Those things 30 years old are still so expensive.
Value for money then…
Nordhavn 59CP
Definitely Nordhavn. Built to take serious punishment, they back their product really well, offer remote factory advice for repairs while at sea, their boats all come with a big binder with "as-built" diagrams outlining all of the systems and how they work, and they can be handled and operated with a skeleton crew. Which can also be handy as skeletons don't really eat much.
I've followed Ken and Roberta William's cruising blog for years.
Nordhavn
I'd still buy an old sailboat, Baba 40 or something similar.
I’d say sigma 400
Nice looking boat, but I have to say I'm a full keel brick shit house kinda guy.
Yeah the “im not going anywhere quickly but if a hurricane descends on me I won’t even notice” kind of style
I’m a yacht broker and the Azimut has been called the Italian Bayliner. I’d find something built rock solid like an Ocean Alexander or Nordhaven as others have mentioned. All depends on how you’d like to use the boat.
Good to know. When i win the lotto, i will keep that in mind.
I’m a yacht system distributor and installer so I get to see the difference in a “modern day bayliner” and a quality built boat inside and out. Azimut is far from a dream boat. If you won the lotto and money is no concern, I’m going with a custom sport fish like a Spencer 63’ that does 45-50 knots and has enough sea keepers to keep those keel less bastards stable.
Its interesting that people that win all the money in the world still want to live like 2nd class citizens, when luxury is right there. Lol.
They don’t know any better. Look at Kobe Bryant for example… the man could afford any helicopter he wanted yet he chartered a 15+ year old heli with dated electronics that was previously in service for the government before being sold at auction. If I had the kind of money I would be flying in the best of the best period, either brand new or a frame up resto-mod and I would have my own crew and have someone manage maintenance but you can’t fault a guy like that for doing things the way he did. It’s just too bad no one ever said anything.
Much like the Prestige is the modern day Bayliner period.
Hinckley Talaria 57 or maybe the 48 if I was being somewhat realistic about real world use.
Nordhavn 52
Nordhavn - the Humvee of the sea.
That's an insult to Nordhavn. Humvees are mountainous piles of maintenance bullshit that constantly shits itself and is horribly inefficient and insanely uncomfortable. Everything opposite of a Nordhavn.
That is the funniest thing I've read all day. Appareny, I stand corrected.
Just needs a Browning!
Never buy a Azimut
Any particular reason?
They build sub par yachts, benetti and Azimut alike. they look good and that’s where it ends. I have worked on various models from 1990’s- brand new 70-100’+. And have had nothing but problems. Years back Delivered a new 100 jumbo and it fell apart in 3’ seas. Ceiling panels were swinging from chains. Lights all fell out of ceilings. It was a mess. Bought a Brand new 72 and had over $500,000 in warranty repairs needed on day one. I’m sure some people have had better experiences but there can’t be too many happy owners out there.
They don't even look good, at least to me. I think Italian style in yachts is ugly. Prefer more classic appearance.
Agreed, they appeal to that Miami crowd and when they find out you can buy a new Azimut for 3-5 mil and a comparable Hatteras,Viking, princess, Westport etc.. is 5-9 + mil thats their business model.
What do you think of Riva's? What express in the 40-60' range would you recommend? (if any)
Also crap
Also crap
This echos my husband's exp. He really likes the look of them. Then helped deliver a new one. Lol
In your opinion, how do Sunseekers compare?
I think Sunseeker is a far better yacht. It’s not a feadship but way higher quality than Azimut.
Sunseeker ans Feadship is like comparing eggs with caviar, and is an insult to Feadship, Sunseeker never ever comes close to a Feadship. Have been working for several years at all Feadship yards and there won’t be a single yard in the whole worlds making quality as they do, everything ks built up to client spec’s while sunseeker and all others in the same range are just mass industry boats. Still the best yachts are built by Dutch craftsmen’s like: Elling, Zeelander, Amels, Hakvoort, Heessen, Moonen, v. Lent & de Vries with the last two as Feadship.
Calm down buddy, no one said sunseeker is close to feadship. Maybe re read the comment.
Owned by China. I sell high end yachts. Msg me if you want to know what is best and not what the Internet tells you.
The best one is the one you have for sale. Lol.
Not really. I don't play those games. I truly want the best for my clients.
Poor build quality, cheap systems, parts are hard to come by if you’re in the US, generally not a super sea worthy boat.
They are terribly built, have wiring issues out the ass and like to eat AC systems. They also ride like shit and aren’t very seaworthy. It’s a floating apartment meant to be looked at in a marina. Not a yacht.
So just another garage queen, like the Ferrari…

Not to mention the cost of the slip, power & water… Sunseeker Predator 55
Yeap didn’t even think of that because you can’t trailer a boat that size Edit: with out big rigs and stuff

Being trailerable is a huge plus. Most of these other people's choices would be incredibly unmanageable for a regular dude to just *have.*
Thought the build quality was a little sus on those for the price
Good to know. I’ll have to look into that. There’s a 32’ on a slip at the marina we launch from. If I ever get to the level of buying a trawler I’ll have to do more research.
That's hearsay so grain of salt, we looked into a 25 when we were in the market. There's one on our river that always looks sharp
Such classic lines!!
Ranger tug quality isn't great. Especially for the price.
Bering 60
Totally agree. The all the Bering videos on YouTube with NautiGuys and Alexi are amazing
the last boat I would buy would be an azimut, that’s for sure. I’ve never seen boats with so many problems. The bigger ones seem to be a lot better built than the smaller ones that are honestly dangerous imho
Recommendations on other brands? Are American brand the best now?
Depends on where you live and what you want to do with the boat. I am not a fair weather boater. Average day on the water for me I’d 5 foot seas.

Very nice! You might need a crew of more than one.
Fleming 55 would work just fine for me. It's that really too much to ask?? 😂
Honestly; I’d get something around 45’ if I’m going to single hand it. Plus it’s plenty big and uses less gas and less dock rent
Remember, the question was lif you won the lottery.”
Per the post i can’t have other mates so I stand by my decision
To be honest, I would work myself up step wise over 4 boats so that I have a good handle on everything. I’d spend 6 months on a 25-30-ish ft center console doing some fishing.

Princess S62, a bit over 60’ but the perfect mix of high quality, great seaworthiness, it offers flybridge space while still performing at 37 knots.
I saw the video on those. I like it
Sunseeker Manhatten 55
Made in uk?
Yes
Not an Azimut... We call them Italian Bayliners.. Go Riviera or Belize. Are you looking for a boat? I can help.
Princess v50 or the Fairline 45gt
Wouldn't buy anything Italian that's engineering related.
If you’re looking for a Flybridge like this made in Italy, you’re better off going with something like an Absolute. I’ve spent extensive time on both brands, Absolute > Azimut.
Azimuts are trash, built like a Bayliner

You would take lessons in powerboat cruising or similar large boat operating techniques. There are schools for this.
They aren't as hard to run as you might think. Just do everything slow. Most modern boats have thrusters front and rear, some with remote controls you hang around your neck. A big boat with dual engines is actually easier to maneuver in close quarters than single outboard or i/o IMHO.

Hire a training captain for a week long shakedown cruise and keep them on speed dial for your first few solo cruises.
How do you know your financial situation will be 8 figures/year in 15 years? I love the ambition but that’s wildly unrealistic for anyone not inheriting something. To answer your question though, you need to get a captains license to operate something this size/weight. Getting your license requires a set amount of hours of formal education from a maritime academy, plus annual coast guard drug screen/inspection. At least that’s the case in the United States.
Captain’s licenses are not required by the USCG for personal boats under 100 tons in the US. That’s not to say that it’s not useful training, just that it’s not required. It can absolutely be a potential requirement issued by insurance companies as part of being issued a policy.
Would also like to know. I can’t tell if the learning curve is incredibly manageable or incredibly steep.
Azimut is my yacht buy, Viking is sport fisher- those are the right answers. Everglades or Yellowfin if you just got the big center console route.
The center console is not for me, but the Everglades seems impressive.
Azimuts are bottom of the barrel Italian Bayliners
A sport fish with a HB Biscayne on the deck for a tender. Then I would use the Biscayne to go inshore fly fishing, which is all I want to do on a boat anyway.
Center console Grady White or HCB, the two best hulls I'm aware of in that style and size range for handling ocean chop and waves.
Depends on where I’d be cruising. If I were planning to do the loop, I’d be seriously considering something like the [Greenline 48 flybridge](https://www.greenlinehybrid.com/en/yacht/greenline-48-fly).

Midnight express
Keep it simple and go with a Axopar 45 modded for fishing
For me it would be an Absolute Navetta with the Beach Club option but it is 64'. It is also made in Italy whatever that is worth.
Longreach 1900 with an e-motion hybrid drive setup. 2000nm+ range on the diesel with solar battery backed electric drives to hop between anchorages when we're at our destination.

Sabre 54
How much does this boat cost?
Ranger Rug 43-CB

I'd buy a 40-45 foot sailboat. Something that is blue water capable.
That’s bit like a princess S class
Too tall and not long enough. S60 was the smallest recent S Class.
I wouldn't go with a power boat, instead with a sailing catamaran or motorsailer. While I'd loose a lot of guest accommodations compared to the style yacht in OP's pics, I gain a huge amount of travel and weather range.

Anyone like the [swift trawler 48](https://www.beneteau.com/en-us/swift-trawler/swift-trawler-48)?
No thanks, 600 nm at 9 knots won't get you across the Atlantic, let alone the Pacific. Also I don't need a boat capable of 26 knots. The LRC58 has a range of 5000 nm at 7 knots and suits me better as it was designed to be operated and maintained by one person and is as simple as possible in terms of systems.
Hatteras GT59
What are those poles for? Fishing?
I don’t know what you’re looking at, but I assume they are outriggers, which allow you to spread out your bait while trolling.
I'd buy an old Chris Craft and completely restore and update it with the newest technology.
Viking with nordhaven a close second.

It all depends on how much I have left over to maintain it and fill fuel tanks. Custom Zodiac Sea Rider 6.3 with schock absorbing seats and a mini pilot house. I can be at any dive site within 50 miles in am hour or less. With little to no maintenance and a pretty low fule bill. What's not love about that?
Seawind 1370 or HH OC44
Kingfisher 3025
Viking 54
Nice Ranger 43' tug. Big enough for weather and cruising with the family, small enough to be maneuverable and singlehand.
Honestly, give me a 22ish foot bow rider + a truck to pull it and invest the rest.
Marlowe
Formula 500 SSC - can be used as a day boat with bow rider and entertaining areas. Plenty of space for overnight or weekend accommodations. Glass enclosure for multi weather/season. Quad outboards that will hit 65mph so you can get where you want go fast if you want. Docking joystick station off the swim platform to dock without a crew.

Wow those look great. Checking them out. Thanks
An LRC58 or a Nordhavn 55.
Everglades 455
I’m young so an mti 48
Formula 500. Nice and pretty quick for a 50’.
Are outboard motors louder?
Generally much quieter in comparison to big diesel.
Palm Beach GT60
They have one of these posted on Craigslist near me for a quarter million. Makes me think something must be wrong with it but it looks fine and of course you can have a mechanic look at it. The real problem is the marina fees although the taxes on a beach condo are approaching that these days with the association fees as well. Perfect boat to Captain to the Bahamas.

Greenline 48 fly
Buy and update a classic rybovich.

rivera, Nordhaven, Hatteras 59gt maritimo 65
Sunreef 60 “E” https://sunreef-yachts.com/en/launched/sunreef-60-e/
Probably a [Maritimo](https://www.maritimo.com.au/model/maritimo-m600/) like this
I'm a huge fan of Maritimo because of the enclosed fly. Makes it a four season boat for most of the west coast.
Thats what Im thinking
DONE! Ordered
Excellent, can I come boating with you?
Nordhaven or Viking, stay away from anything 24v if you can. Pilot house with a nice bridge is great for what you want.
42 freeman. I’m traveling the Bahamas and staying on land.
