Description

2004 Azimut 55E | 55.6 ft

Asking Price: $349,000

Twin CAT C12s | $200K+ in Documented Rebuilds | Exceptionally Clean | Never Chartered

This 2004 Azimut 55E presents exceptionally well for her age and carries significant, fully documented recent mechanical investment. The previous owner invested over $200,000 into complete engine and transmission rebuilds — all documented with paperwork on file — making her a strong value against comparable boats that still face that work ahead. Vessel has never been chartered.

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
