Sea Wave is the sub-$1M entry into the Azimut flybridge family in your set, and Azimut is the brand ladder we should understand if the eventual boat gets larger. 2019 55, twin MAN i6 800 hp diesels, Seakeeper 6 already installed, three-cabin plus crew. Hours are on the higher side at 1,100, and the price reflects that. What she teaches us is what an Azimut 55 costs when the hours are used and the model year is not the newest, which is the reference point we need before evaluating the newer, lower-hour Azimuts higher in the range. Anchoring the low end of a brand ladder is how you keep the higher-priced boats honest.
800 hp MAN i6s per side, cruise 23.5 knots and top 30.5, three guest cabins and two heads plus a crew berth. 618 gallons of fuel and 4.9 foot draft give her real Bahamas range for the Bimini to Exumas run without babysitting the fuel plan. Full teak cockpit with the hydraulic swim platform geometry that carries the jet-ski loading story cleanly.
Asking $929,000, no reduction yet, roughly two weeks on market. Cross-comp inside your set is It Ain't Easy (2020 Azimut 60 at $1,399,000, 898 hours, reduced from $1,550,000). The trade is $470,000 for one newer model year, five feet of LOA, and roughly 200 fewer hours, plus the reduction history that It Ain't Easy's seller has already logged. Sea Wave is one of our six Broker Picks and she earned that slot on price discipline, not on being the freshest Azimut in the set. She is the boat that anchors the low end of the brand ladder so the higher-priced Azimuts have to justify the delta on more than badge.
