Azimut Verve 48: Testing the Extreme Performance🚀

Is the Verve 48 the best boat that Azimut builds at the moment? Based on the Verve 47, which has been hugely successful, the new 48 builds on that formula and is improved in many areas.

In this in-depth sea trial and tour, Jack Hainss gets behind the wheel of the 1,800hp Verve 48 to see how it performs and what it’s like on board.

One of the major changes is the switch from Merucry’s raucous 450hp Racing engines on the 47 to triple 600hp V12s. These huge motors provide smooth, rapid performance and comfortably push the 50ft cruiser to 50 knots.

On board, the cockpit has been rearranged to create walkaround side decks to improve the flow of the decks and the ease of passage up to the foredeck. L-shaped dating dominates the aft end of the deck and the table sinks to create a sun pad and disappears into the floor. Below deck are two cabins split by a dinette, galley and large bathroom.

It may be the smallest boat in the Azimut range but it’s one of the best the Italian outfit has produced.

Another winner video. Short, informative, to the point. Great boat. Great video!

[MrDLYouTube]

What a well thought out boat! Has everything. As someone that lives in a more colder are, having a galley down in the boat is a huge plus.

Jack you and the team produce the most stylish and classy video reviews simply the best mate, love em all. Now where's my chequebook.👍

[seanogden]

I think this is an absolutely beautiful boat, love the deck areas so practical and great space, I was not expecting the below deck area to be much at all but WOW what an incredible space really spacious, I think they have got a lot into this boat. Great tour Jack thank you.

I love that they've chosen to do something different with the accomodaton! works awesome!

[nicbennett]

Brilliant review Jack.
That boat looks an amazing amount of fun! Surprisingly practical too. Geeky, but I love the table’s ability to drop into the floor. What a great solution to the cockpit table - other manufacturers take note!

[andrewpearson]

All I can say is booyah!! what a boat...great quality video as always 😊

[malpi_]

Can't wait for the arksen 85 sea trial ! Great video btw

[sirmurf]

My fantasy day boat is a Dolceriva, but this gives that a run for its money.

[cookiemonster]

Yes please, that looks great fun and smart too, white engines though please. 😁❤️🇬🇧

Speedy Lady, but she appears very stable even when turning or going in a straight line. Seating in the cockpit leaves a lot of room to move around. Galley area good, makes it easy serving drinks food. She has plenty of shading over the cockpit. Front deck area again plenty of space.
Downstairs galley, two bedrooms, shower/toilet seating area good fay boat with ability to sleep 4 for a night or two..

What is this enormous beauty I see in 9:50? And I don't mean the one with the sunglasses 😉

[Joe_sr]

That’s a serious party water ski boat.

[biglee]

what happened to the ns42 sea trial video you mentioned in an earlier video 🤔

[acgagen]

If you had to choose between Verve 48 or Windy SR44, which one would you pick?

[clifbradley]

This is awesome. What ever happened to Carl? He just disappeared and never came back

[gbsailing]

I can't understand how journalists FAIL to understand logic and maths. "Same horsepower..."

Well I beg to differ. 3X 600 is 1800hp. 4X 460 = 1840hp. NOT the same! The difference is 40hp.

Ok maybe it's not a lot of difference, but come on. Bigger boat, more and greater features (which normally means greater weight gain). So the boat is worse off.

[adrianwarzecha]

It’s funny how everyone copy GALEON designs.Galeon 435 GTO much better boat for that price.

Pay a million + for a yacht with a giant windscreen wiper in your face?! Seriously? What a joke.
