Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 vs Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 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.
Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 measures 66,0 feet overall (2011), giving it roughly 59,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 at 7,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 tips the scales at 77 602 lbs — 76 774 lbs more than the Azimut Yachts 68 Evolution 2008 at 828 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 1 150 hp, the Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 has a 1 148-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 103 gallons in the Azimut Yachts 64 Fly Flybridge 2011. 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 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 caps at 20. 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 64 Fly Flybridge 2011 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 20 that costs less to run day-to-day.
