Explore the seas.
by Capt. Tom Serio
The word “Atlantis” probably conjures thoughts of the sea.
The word “Atlantis” probably conjures thoughts of the sea. So it’s apt that Azimut has a line of mid-size yachts that are ready to explore the seas (and the Great Lakes). Case in point: the Azimut Atlantis 43.
Styled as an express yacht, the Atlantis 43 has ample headroom on the main deck and below, accentuating the open concept all around. With a retractable skylight, opening starboard window and open aft, Azimut has created a yacht that emphasizes the open water experience.
On the main deck, there are two large lounge areas. A forward sunpad is perfect for enjoying the sights. Aft is a large sunpad lounge with a backrest that flips fore/aft, doubling as the backrest for the aft section of the U-shaped settee in the cockpit. The settee with table is opposite a wetbar with sink, faucet and fridge, providing an oasis for relaxing with friends.
Forward to starboard is the helm, complete with twin displays for engine functions, levels, speed and sounder. Electric steering makes maneuvering effortless, and the tilt leather-wrapped wheel makes it comfortable. Twin Volvo 400-hp engines get the Atlantis 43 cruising at 30 knots and wide open at 35 knots.
To port is a doublewide lounge seat, keeping guests and the captain together. It’s easy to take the party from one level to the next; below is a dinette to port with a U-shaped settee and a large hullside window with opening porthole. Azimut doesn’t skimp below, as furnishings include striped walnut stairs, stainless handrails, varnished cabinets and a striped walnut table. Across is the galley with microwave, fridge/freezer, two-burner cooktop and stainless steel sink.
The master stateroom is forward, complete with a double locker, hullside windows, double centerline berth and upholstered headboard. A private master head includes an electric toilet system and a shower stall with striped walnut flooring and a seat.
A guest stateroom is midship with twin single beds that can be joined to make a double berth (you can opt for a third bed). You’ll find a full head with separate shower here as well.
“The Azimut Atlantis 43 is a pure joy to pilot, as well as to overnight with family or friends,” says Keith Teynor, general manager at MarineMax. “[This boat has] beautiful Italian design backed up with outstanding MarineMax customer support.”
