Celebrate Life

A flybridge built for entertaining sets the tone aboard Celebrate Life. Azimut delivered the Fly 72 in 2022, and at 23 metres she carries a four-cabin layout for eight guests without crowding the outdoor spaces. The hard top, electric awning and teak steps on the flybridge point to a yacht designed to be lived on above decks as much as below.

Build and provenance

Azimut built her as the Fly 72, a monohull flybridge motor yacht, and delivered her in 2022. No refit or later works appear on her specification sheet, so the equipment fitted at build, from the Seakeeper to the Raymarine electronics, is what a buyer inspects today.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, and the crew have their own cabin, fitted with a washer-dryer, keeping guest quarters and crew life separate. The flybridge doubles as a second living room, equipped with the Raymarine Gold Package, a dishwasher and an ice maker, so hosting can move from the aft cockpit up top without a plate leaving anyone's hand.

Performance and engineering

Two 1,400 mhp MAN CR V12 engines give Celebrate Life a 26-knot cruise and a 32-knot top speed, pace that turns a cross-bay run into a lunch reservation rather than a day out. A Seakeeper 16 gyro stabiliser works at anchor alongside separate stabilisers under way, so the ride stays flat whether she is moving or moored. Her tanks hold 5,200 litres of fuel and 1,100 litres of water, enough capacity that a cruise does not need to be planned around a fuel dock.

On deck and at anchor

On deck and at anchor, the flybridge does the heavy lifting: a hard top with an electric awning, teak decking and stern steps, and a BBQ station give her an outdoor kitchen and a shaded lounge in one space. A sun shade sail on carbon poles shades the bow, underwater lights extend the evening at anchor, and a passerelle makes stepping ashore straightforward wherever she berths.
