Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 50 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 50 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 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.
On paper these two are close siblings in the size department — Azimut Yachts 50 2008 at 52,0 ft versus Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 at 50,0 ft. At 46 lbs and 27 lbs respectively, both sit in a similar weight class — either should pair comfortably with most mid-size SUVs and half-ton trucks, though always confirm your specific tow rating with the motor added.
The Azimut Yachts 50 2008 carries a rated maximum of 2 hp. Engine data for the Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 wasn't available in our records — check the manufacturer's spec sheet before sizing a motor.Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Azimut Yachts 50 2008 carries 587 gallons versus 581 gallons in the Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.
For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Azimut Yachts 50 2008 is rated for 16 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 caps at 15. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts 50 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Azimut Yachts 50 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 16 passengers and at 52,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Azimut Yachts 50 Fly Flybridge 2015 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 15 that costs less to run day-to-day.
