Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 46 Evolution 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 46 Evolution 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 380 hp, the Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 has a 378-hp advantage over the Azimut Yachts 46 Evolution 2008's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 is rated for 17 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 46 Evolution 2008 caps at 14. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Azimut Yachts 6 Seadeck 2023 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 17 passengers and at 56,7 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Azimut Yachts 46 Evolution 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 14 that costs less to run day-to-day.
