This 2004 Azimut 55E presents exceptionally well for her age and carries significant, fully documented recent mechanical investment.

Why This Vessel
- The hardest dollars on a 20-year-old motor yacht are the ones already spent here
- Most Azimut 55s in this price range still have their original engines and transmissions — the next major service interval, and its cost, belongs to the buyer
- On this boat, that work is done: over $200,000 in professionally rebuilt CAT C12 engines and rebuilt transmissions, with paperwork to prove it
- The expensive work is behind her, and documented — rebuilt engines, rebuilt transmissions, an August 2025 bottom job and PropSpeed service, and a 2023 survey on file
- She's turn-key for the season — fin stabilizers, bow thruster, full electronics, and a complete comfort package
