Fly 82 wins best yacht over 80ft

Written by

The Azimut Fly 82, a standout at boot Düsseldorf 2026, has won a prestigious Motor Boat Award from Motor Boat & Yachting. At the January 20 ceremony in Düsseldorf, the jury named it Best Motor Yacht Over 80ft, praising its elegant design, generous spaces, and exceptional balance of speed and efficiency.

The award reflects Azimut’s collaboration with Alberto Mancini, whose dynamic exterior design enhances onboard liveability with innovations such as the Deck2Deck Terrace, and Fabio Fantolino, who created refined, harmonious interiors. The Fly 82 also sets a technological benchmark as the first Azimut model to feature WATCHIT Eye, an AI-based collision-prevention system developed with WATCHIT and the Azimut|Benetti Group’s R&D team.
