2004 Azimut 55E

2004 Azimut 55 | Twin CAT C12s — $200K+ in Documented Rebuilds | Exceptionally Clean

Vessel has never been chartered

This 2004 Azimut 55 presents exceptionally well for her age and carries significant, fully documented recent mechanical investment. The previous owner invested over $200,000 into complete engine and transmission rebuilds — all documented with paperwork on file — making her a strong value against comparable boats that still face that work ahead.

Why this Vessel

The hardest dollars on a 20-year-old motor yacht are the ones already spent here. Most Azimut 55s in this price range still have their original engines and transmissions — meaning the next major service interval, and its cost, belongs to the buyer. On this boat, that work is done: over $200,000 in professionally rebuilt CAT C12 engines and rebuilt transmissions, with the paperwork to prove it. You're buying the result, not the risk.

Three reasons she stands apart:

• The expensive work is behind her, and documented. Rebuilt engines, rebuilt transmissions, an August 2025 bottom job and prop speed service, and a 2023 survey on file. Diligence you can verify, not promises.
• She's turn-key for the season. Fin stabilizers, bow thruster, fresh water maker, full electronics, and a complete comfort package mean she's ready to cruise now, not after a refit.
• The value math favors the buyer. Comparable 55s without documented rebuilds list in the same range — then hand the new owner a six-figure engine bill. Here, that's already paid.

For a buyer who wants a proven, well-equipped 55-foot motor yacht without inheriting a major mechanical project, this is a rare and straightforward opportunity.
