INTERIOR

The joinery and cabinets are Cherry wood with a satin finish. A cream carpet is laid through the yacht with the salon and dining area being protected by a fitted canvas cover. The galley and heads/showers of the VIP and guest cabins, and crew quarters have wood flooring. The master suite ensuite has marble flooring.

MAIN DECK

Entering from the aft deck through the large stainless steel framed patio door you arrive in the salon. Here there are spacious leather upholstered sofas to port and starboard, and cabinetry to port which houses the 42” TV on a lift system and other AV equipment, as well as providing storage.

Moving forward, the galley is on the port side opposite dining to starboard. A well thought out feature here is the ability to have the galley open to the dining area or for it to be closed off by sliding shutters. The dining table is on runners allowing it to be positioned more outboard or inboard depending on how many people wish to be seated. In it’s outboard position it helpfully creates more space in the companionway.

At the forward end of the main deck is the lower helm position to port and to starboard are the stairs leading down to the lower deck.

There are two watertight pantograph doors to the side decks. One on the port side from the galley and one on the starboard side at the top of stairs that lead to the lower deck. These really enhance access around the yacht and create great air flow should you opt for natural ventilation instead of running the air conditioning.

LOWER DECK

Beginning forward, the lower deck features a VIP cabin with ensuite head/shower. Aft of the VIP cabin there are two guest cabins, one to port and one to starboard, both with ensuite head/shower. The starboard cabin ensuite head/shower also serves as the day head with daytime access from the companionway so there is no need to enter the cabin. Amidships is the full beam master suite with a large ensuite head/shower to starboard including his & hers sinks and spacious power shower, a walk-in closet to port, sofa to starboard, lots of storage and large portholes providing great views and plenty of light.

The Crew Quarters, positioned between the master suite and engine room, comprise one bunk cabin, separate crew mess and Pullman berth providing accommodation for three instead of two as standard. They can be accessed via a stair from the galley or via the engine room using the transom door. The selection of crew access routes together with the port side pantograph door from the galley to the side deck help to greatly minimise the need for crew to disturb guests while going about their duties. Such separation is difficult to achieve so well on a yacht of this size and was considered a remarkable feature when the 80 Carat was launched.

EXTERIOR

All exterior decks are laid with teak. The gelcoat finish to the topsides and superstructure maintains a good level of gloss and was machine polished prior to the 2023 season.

FLYBRIDGE

The Azimut 80 is well known for having an expansive flybridge that provides a large amount of seating plus a sun bathing area. Time Out has the optional teak deck here and other upgrades include extra refrigeration, electric BBQ/Grill and a heavyweight bimini frame. This is a lovely area for relaxing and for dining whilst enjoying a great view of your surroundings. The aft end of this deck is home to the tender, a 4m Novurania with 50Hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard, and its crane, an upgraded Opacmare unit rated at 400Kg.

MAIN DECK

At the foredeck there is a large, cushioned sunbathing area in addition to which Time Out has two recliner chairs and a table that can be arranged at the bow and folded away for stowing out of sight when not in use. A very nice feature is that the anchor windlass is concealed so, unlike most yachts, the foredeck area is completely clear.

Moving aft, the side decks are of a comfortable width and the interior can be accessed from either side via pantograph doors around midships.

The aft deck provides a beautifully varnished table mounted on a robust stainless steel pedestal. It can be configured in a ‘small’ round mode or have inserts added to become a larger oval dining table. Mesh sun/wind shades are available which connect between the flybridge overhang and the aft deck coaming providing very effective relief from the sun whilst still allowing you to view the surroundings. There is a drinks fridge, and stairs to the flybridge and bathing platform. Importantly, the stairs are large and at a comfortable angle. Access to and from the dock is via a stainless steel telescopic passerelle that vanishes completely out of sight when not in use and has integrated lights for a little extra safety at night.

BATHING PLATFORM

The port side of the platform features a large GRP door that gives access to a garage designed for stowage of a jet ski and equipped with a winch to assist with launch and recovery. In Time Out’s case, this space is home to two kayaks. Just off the centreline of the transom to port is another door concealing the integrally moulded stair between the platform and aft deck as well as the pocket inside which the electro-hydraulic telescopic Opacmare passerelle is housed. Both doors are hydraulically operated. Just to starboard of the centreline is a manually operated watertight door giving access to the engine room and through to the crew quarters. A telescopic electro-hydraulically operated bathing ladder is housed within the platform.

WHAT THE PRESS SAY

YACHTING (magazine)

Azimut 80 Carat

Smart, subdued styling makes the Azimut 80 Carat a gem in her class.

By Dudley Dawson

Aficionados of fine diamonds consider the four C’s in purchase decisions. Azimut designated its new motoryacht “Carat” with one of the C’s in mind, but I found the cut, color and clarity of this 80-foot fiberglass jewel equally telling in appreciating her value. Like any fine gem, she is not flawless but comes very close.
