Broker’s Comment
This Azimut 98 Leonardo represents exceptional value, featuring a 2011 re-power with very low subsequent hours and the addition of TRAC stabilizers. It is an ideal opportunity for a buyer seeking a high-volume platform with updated mechanical systems and a flexible four-cabin layout.

The Narrative
The yacht’s layout is centered around an expansive main deck designed for seamless indoor-outdoor transition. The salon features a large integrated bar and formal dining area, framed by panoramic glazing that maximizes natural light. Oversized sliding doors connect the interior directly to the aft cockpit, creating a singular, level social space.
Below deck, the accommodation is configured for nine guests across four well-appointed cabins. The full-beam master suite is situated amidships, utilizing the widest part of the hull for maximum stability and volume. It includes a spacious en-suite bathroom and significant storage. Forward, the VIP cabin provides comfortable quarters for primary guests, while a twin cabin to starboard includes an additional Pullman berth. A fourth double cabin, located aft of the master, offers flexible utility; it can serve as a guest suite or be designated as a dedicated Captain’s cabin, depending on the owner’s operational requirements.
Deck logistics are handled via two distinct garage spaces. The stern features a hydraulic transom and large swim platform, providing easy water access and a dedicated entrance to the engine room. Uniquely, the foredeck houses a secondary deck-garage with hydraulic covers and a concealed crane, capable of storing a 4.2-meter jet tender, keeping the aft deck and flybridge clear for guest use.
