AZIMUT WINS THE MIAMI INNOVATION AWARDS 2025
During the Miami International Boat Show, Azimut was honored by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) and Boating Writers International (BWI), which awarded the Miami Innovation Awards 2025 to the Fly 72 in the Cabin Cruisers, Motor Yachts, Trawlers category.
The Miami Innovation Awards recognize shipyards and suppliers that introduce original and innovative products to the market. The jury, composed of seven BWI members who personally test products throughout the year, selected Azimut’s Fly 72 as the winner, stating: “Pulling from fresh interior styling trends, the Azimut Fly 72 offers beautiful, functional spaces onboard that have been totally redesigned, from fluid lines, unique salon and galley material selections, and well-thought-out accommodations spaces. The flybridge and bow are two spaces you’ll want to spend a lot of time.”
This award once again highlights the innovative spirit of Azimut yachts and the shipyard’s ongoing commitment to introducing new products and technologies, the result of continuous research by its Design and R&D departments.
FLY 72
Fly 72 enriches the Fly Series, the iconic Azimut line that recalls the revolutionary spirit of the past for the avant-garde of tomorrow, offering the timeless emotion of gliding over the waves, suspended between sky and sea in absolute freedom. The latest addition to the Series features exterior lines by Alberto Mancini and interiors by architect and designer Fabio Fantolino.
Fabio Fantolino renders the interiors of the Fly 72 according to his stylistic hallmark, the search for perfect harmony between elegance, design and technique. Azimut shares his views as a leader in the design and creation of yachts that symbolize the purest union between technology and beauty.
The concept studied by Fabio Fantolino for the Fly 72 stems from the desire to outline this model with a contemporary and elegant look. The interiors of the Fly 72 are designed with a transversal stylistic line, which runs from the exclusive atmospheres of the nautical world to the refinement of contemporary design. These two worlds meet in the project, creating imagery inspired by the masters of Italian design of the last century to reinterpret iconic details and define a new and unique style. The transversal design is also evident in the choice of materials and shapes: wood combined with precious materials such as bronze and glossy lacquers, and shapes balanced between linearity and softness.
The exteriors are the work of Alberto Mancini, who continues to interpret sporty DNA that characterizes the history of Azimut yacht design. With Fly 72, Mancini’s stylistic language introduces an evident clean line, which further emphasizes the sculptural tension that characterizes the design of the Series.
