Azimut 55 for Sale in Egypt and Africa

Azimut 55 price in 2026

Used Azimut 55s span a wide $200,000 to $1,250,000 as of 2026 market range, and hull year plus engine configuration explain almost all of that spread. A 2014 hull with triple 435hp Volvo Penta diesels was seen priced around EUR675,000, while a 2018 hull with twin 800hp MAN diesels was seen toward the top of the range. Fairline and Custom also appear among Egypt's top-listed brokerage brands, so treat the 55 as one credible option among several rather than the default choice.

Because this model has been built continuously since the early 2000s, confirm the exact engine configuration against the specific listing before comparing two boats on price alone. the model name alone says little, given how many engine brands and outputs have gone into this hull over two decades.

Running costs

These are estimates: get a specific quote from a local yard and engine agent before budgeting. As a planing-hull motor yacht, fuel burn is a much bigger line item here than on any sailing model on this site, so budget accordingly for Red Sea or Mediterranean cruising distances rather than assuming sailboat economics.

Haul-out and antifouling costs also run higher than for a similarly sized catamaran or monohull, since a planing hull this size needs a bigger lift and more bottom paint. Confirm bunkering and haul-out pricing directly with whichever yard your hull will use, since both vary a good deal between Egypt's Red Sea marinas and Cape Town's Yachtport SA.

What the survey must check

Given how many engine configurations this model has carried, the survey needs to nail down specifics, not just condition:

• Pull full engine and generator hours plus maintenance records, and confirm the exact engine brand and model against the listing, Volvo Penta, MAN and Caterpillar have all been fitted across this model's run.
• Inspect gelcoat condition and check for hull blistering, osmosis.
• Check running gear: shafts, propellers and stabilizers if fitted.
• Review the electronics and navigation suite's age and any refit history.
• Run a core survey, balsa or foam, across hull sections, not just the deck.
• Confirm the exact engine configuration against the listing, since this model spans several very different powertrains across its production run.

Who an Azimut 55 suits in Africa

This suits a buyer who wants flybridge motor-yacht comfort and Italian styling rather than a sailing boat, and who is buying where the brand already has real brokerage depth. Egypt's Red Sea, specifically the Hurghada and El Gouna cluster, is the clearest fit in this dataset, backed by actual listing data rather than assumption. El Gouna's Abu Tig Marina, the Red Sea's first purpose-built yacht marina, added megayacht capacity in 2009 with two ship lifts rated to 30m and 250 tonnes, well beyond what a 55-footer needs, so haul-out infrastructure is not the constraint here.

Servicing and haul-out for a boat this size can also route through Cape Town, where Yachtport SA runs the region's only 100-ton travel lift, worth knowing if the boat ever needs to move between markets. Buyers comparing flybridges at a similar budget can also consider the Princess V58 or the Sunseeker Portofino 53 alongside this one.
