Azimut Verve 47: The Ultimate Dayboat, American Beuty with a Mediterranean heart.
Nicknamed “the ultimate boating machine”, Verve 47 is designed for an extremely modern owner attracted by the prospect of reaching his favourite hotspots quickly in an exciting, high-performance craft.
The Verve was designed in Italy specifically for the North American market, combining Azimut’s Italian flair with four new 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards. The stepped hull was designed by Michael Peters, a naval architect based in Florida with a global reputation for creating fast boats. Francesco Struglia, an Italian designer known for his forward-looking motor yachts, created the interior and topside.
For cruising enthusiasts, the yacht has two staterooms and one head. The forepeak stateroom has a step-up berth and all the way aft is a guest stateroom with twin berths. Between these spaces is a single head with shower to starboard, just forward of the twin-berth stateroom.
There are three helm seats on centerline and a U-shaped foredeck lounge is accessed from the portside deck. There is also a foredeck sun pad for three or more guests. The cockpit has U-shaped seating with table to starboard. To port, a door folds out, creating a swim platform.
A raked windshield and hardtop work with the yacht’s porpoise-like profile to create a sense of movement in the yacht. Hullside glass flows aft from just abaft the bow, sweeping back and then turning up amidships, visually lowering the profile and lengthening the yacht’s lines, creating a lean, muscular look.
The Verve 47 has a projected top-end speed of 50 knots. Cruise speed is expected to be around 36 knots, which should be ample oomph for most performance enthusiasts. Fuel capacity is 660 gallons and freshwater capacity is 79 gallons.
