Sierra 机动游艇

Two crew looking after eight guests is a light touch for a sports yacht this size, and it says something about how easy Sierra is meant to be to run. Azimut built the S7 in 2021, and a stabiliser system keeps her steady enough at rest that a small crew can manage the rest.

Build and provenance

Her hull is built in fibreglass. At 45 gross tonnes on a 21-metre platform, she carries speed rather than bulk, and her open-plan layout keeps sightlines to the water from most of the boat.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, and two crew see to all of them, a ratio that puts more of the day-to-day care in the owner's or captain's hands rather than a large below-decks team. The door that closes the tender garage folds flat to become a sunbathing platform, so the same space works two ways depending on the day.

Performance and engineering

A Seakeeper gyro stabiliser is fitted, and her builder describes a layout designed to keep noise down at speed too. She cruises at 28.9 knots and reaches 35 knots flat out, a sports yacht's turn of speed for an owner who wants to cover distance quickly rather than idle.

On deck and at anchor

Sunpads and the swim platform are where the day happens once the anchor is down, and air conditioning and the tender garage keep the comforts and the toys aboard rather than trailing behind in a chase boat.

Where she lies and how to see her

Sierra lies in Hong Kong. Boatcrowd sets up the viewing and joins you for it, and once you make an offer that is accepted, a surveyor and a sea trial follow before the transaction completes.
