If you're searching for an Azimut 58 Flybridge Marbella review that cuts through the marketing fluff, you've found it. We've spent time onboard this 17.6m flybridge motor yacht, and here's exactly what it's like — from the moment you step aboard at Puerto Banús to the final glass of cava as the sun sets behind La Concha.
First Impressions: Stepping Aboard the Azimut 58 in Puerto Banús
You meet the crew at Puerto Banús, the glitzy marina that's home to superyachts and designer boutiques. The Azimut 58 Flybridge sits alongside the dock, its sleek Italian lines turning heads. At 17.6m, it's not the largest in our fleet — the Ferretti 94 dwarfs it — but the flybridge layout gives it an open, airy feel that larger enclosed yachts lack. Boarding is straightforward via the stern platform; the crew greets you with a cold drink and a safety briefing before you even untie.
The Flybridge: Where You'll Spend Most of Your Time
The flybridge is the star. Up a short staircase, you find a large U-shaped sofa, a sunpad area, and a helm station. The panoramic views stretch from the Sierra Blanca mountains to the Mediterranean. There's a small wet bar and a table for six, though most guests prefer to lounge on the sunpads. On a 30°C July day, the flybridge catches a constant breeze — noticeably cooler than the lower deck. The skipper operates from here, so you can chat, ask questions, or just watch the coastline slide by.
Main Deck and Interior: Comfort Without the Flash
The main salon is contemporary Italian: cream leather sofas, a galley to port, and a dining table for eight. It's not over-the-top — think understated elegance rather than gold taps. The forward helm is enclosed, but you'll likely only use the interior for escaping the midday sun or for a sit-down meal. The galley is stocked with the included drinks: water, soft drinks, beer, white wine, and cava. Light snacks (olives, crisps, nuts) are provided. If you want a full meal, bring your own or arrange catering in advance.
Cabins and Accommodation: Overnight Potential
The Azimut 58 sleeps up to 8 guests in 4 cabins: a master suite amidships, a VIP forward, and two twin cabins. The master has a queen bed, en-suite shower, and hull windows that let in natural light. The twins are snug but fine for kids or crew. For a day charter, you won't use the cabins much, but they're handy for changing or for a quiet moment. Air conditioning runs throughout.
Performance and Ride: How It Handles the Costa del Sol
Twin MAN diesels push the Azimut 58 to a cruising speed of 26-28 knots, with a top end around 32 knots. The ride is stable in moderate seas — typical for the Mediterranean in summer. From Puerto Banús, you can reach Cabopino in 20 minutes, Marbella Marina in 10, or Estepona in about 40 minutes. The skipper will adjust speed based on conditions and your preferences. Fuel is included, so there's no need to worry about running the engines.

Who Is the Azimut 58 Flybridge Best For?
This yacht suits groups of 8-12 who want a social, outdoor experience. The flybridge layout encourages mingling, and the sunpads are perfect for sunbathing. It's less suited to those seeking total privacy (the cabins are modest) or a party boat (the sound system is decent but not club-level). Families with kids, couples, and corporate groups all work well. If you need more space, consider the Mangusta 80 at 24m.
Nearby Destinations and Itineraries
Popular routes from Puerto Banús include a cruise east to Cabopino's sandy beaches, west to Estepona's old town, or a full-day trip to Sotogrande. The skipper knows the best anchorages: Cala del Faro for snorkelling, Cala Cortés for calm waters, or the stretch off the Golden Mile for a view of the Marbella skyline. You can also anchor near the Río Verde for a swim in clear water.
