I am just wondering what make/type of yacht this is. Saw it parked (or rather docked) up on holiday.

It is indeed an Azimut 86s, the 's' standing for sports, as opposed to their full flybridge model. They mostly offer their boats either as all white, or with blue or red hulls, so I guess this one has a custom paint finish.

Azimut is an Italian brand and is one of the larger builders of production motor yachts. Some of their models are also built under licence in Turkey and Brazil. They have a dealer at Yas Marina, so you tend to see a lot of their boats during coverage of the Abu Dhabi F1 GP.

Here endeth the lesson!

You forgot to mention the absolutely appalling build quality (as with pretty much all Italian built stuff).

Really? It looks awful to me, but then I'm not a fan of most modern motorboats. It has a horrible snub bow, and it looks like the flying bridge is an afterthought from halfords.

Amazing what you can do with Thule roof boxes and a chainsaw smile


Not much light in the saloon I thought.

I deliberatly restrained myself from mentioning build quality or styling, you never know who's watching (I might one day need to tap them up for employment! rolleyes ).

Couldn't see from that angle. Whatever it is supposed to be it looks crap.

It's a bit 'booyakasha innit' for my liking. As for the fenders. Something (just departed by the looks of the water), was moored up along side it.
