Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012 vs Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012 vs Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 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 800 hp, the Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012 has a 798-hp advantage over the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 carries 1 268 gallons versus 74 gallons in the Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012. 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 68 Evolution 2008 is rated for 21 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012 caps at 18. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 21 passengers and at 7,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Azimut Yachts 60 Evolution 2012 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 18 that costs less to run day-to-day.
