high-low dining table that converts to a lounge, is finished in light and dark oaks. Inlays have polished stainless-steel frames. A counter to port hides the TV, and the galley is forward with a counter extending into the companionway, maximizing food-prep real estate. There’s a two-burner electric cooktop along with four fridges on board: one in the cockpit, one in the salon bar and two in the galley. ¶ At the helm, the skipper and companion get a pair of high-backed seats with bolsters. The cantilevered, three-monitor dashboard has an Azimut-Raymarine ship’s monitor that shows the usual engine data plus bilge pumps, tank levels, sound systems and air conditioning. All of this is touchscreenenabled and accessible remotely via tablet. ¶ The salon’s triple skylights over the galley and helm area are notable for the natural light they allow inside, and carbon fiber in the superstructure lets the entire panel become an opening sunroof, moving the skylights and roof together. ¶ The lower deck is pure accommodations, with the master stateroom aft. It has an angled berth that starts as a queen-size width at the headboard (5 feet) and then tapers on each side to become 4 feet, 4 inches wide at the foot. The berth’s length is just shy of a queen: 6 feet, 6 inches (compared with 6 feet, 8 inches for a true queen). The setup adds to the available floor space, and there are six-pane hullside windows on either side. The en suite head with shower is just forward, while a full hanging locker is aft and a washer/dryer is in the companionway. ¶ The forepeak VIP has the added space from the truncated bow, allowing for a walk-around berth that also starts as a queen at the headboard and tapers to 4 feet wide at the foot. It’s 6 feet, 6 inches long. There is direct access to the day-head with shower and to the twin hanging lockers. In between the master and VIP is a guest stateroom with a pair of berths measuring 6 feet, 3 inches long and 3 feet wide. This stateroom is served by the day-head. ¶ Azimut designed the tender garage for an 11-foot jet boat: specifically, a Tecnorib. Another option is a Williams Sportjet 345, with a length overall of 11 feet, 3 inches and a top-end speed of 40 knots with five-guest capacity. ¶ On the S6’s foredeck, there is a sun pad for guests. For owner-operators or crew, there’s a forepeak cabin with single berth and head. The foredeck is also home to gull-wing doors to port and starboard. These 20-inch-deep, more than 3-feet-long lockers can rid the deck of fenders and dock lines, and three more lockers are in the cockpit, showing that Azimut understands the need to stow gear. ¶ And to look good while doing it.
