Detailed Evaluation & Buyer Recommendation
Azimut Yachts 7 Seadeck 2023 vs Azimut Yachts 98 Leonardo 2008 — Same Brand, Different Boat
The Azimut Yachts 7 Seadeck 2023 vs Azimut Yachts 98 Leonardo 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 900 hp, the Azimut Yachts 7 Seadeck 2023 has a 898-hp advantage over the Azimut Yachts 98 Leonardo 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 98 Leonardo 2008 is rated for 30 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 7 Seadeck 2023 caps at 21. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts 98 Leonardo 2008 could be the deciding factor.
Bottom line: Choose the Azimut Yachts 98 Leonardo 2008 if your priority is putting more people on the water — it handles 30 passengers and at 1,0 ft it has the deck room to back that rating up comfortably. The Azimut Yachts 7 Seadeck 2023 is the smarter pick if you want a lighter, easier-to-trailer boat rated for 21 that costs less to run day-to-day.
