Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 vs Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 measures 68,1 feet overall (2021), giving it roughly 6,1 additional feet of deck space compared to the Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 at 62,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 tips the scales at 96 341 lbs — 90 197 lbs less than the Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 at 6 144 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.
The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 1 000 hp, the Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 has a 998-hp advantage over the Azimut Yachts 62S 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 Fly Flybridge 2021 carries 977 gallons versus 713 gallons in the Azimut Yachts 62S 2008. 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 Fly Flybridge 2021 is rated for 20 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 caps at 19. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Azimut Yachts 68 Fly Flybridge 2021 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 20 passengers and at 68,1 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Azimut Yachts 62S 2008 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 19 that costs less to run day-to-day.
