ACCOMMODATIONS

GENERAL
    Regardless of your docking situation, boarding the 85 AZIMUT is easily accomplished via the port and starboard aft or forward boarding gates. Once aboard the spacious aft deck you may access all the beautiful areas of the yacht. Full walkaround side decks allow you transit forward to the bow sun pad and seating area, enter the port side engine room and crew door, discretely access the galley from a port side pantograph door without disturbing the guests inside, go for a dip off the stern swim platform, join guests on the fly bridge for cocktails or head inside to the salon to relax in the air conditioning. Maybe you would just like to stay on the open air aft deck and watch the sunset. There are no wrong choices on 85 AZIMUT.


SALON 
Facing forward on the aft deck a pair of bowed, tinted, stainless steel trimmed doors open electrically to reveal the gorgeous main salon of 85 AZIMUT.

Large windows let in as much light as desired and provide beautiful views of exotic destinations. Immediately to starboard there is a large sofa upholstered in navy interior Sunbrella performance fabric that seats 3-4 comfortably.
