Is the Verve 48 the best boat that Azimut builds at the moment? Based on the Verve 47, which has been hugely successful, the new 48 builds on that formula and is improved in many areas.
In this in-depth sea trial and tour, Jack Hainss gets behind the wheel of the 1,800hp Verve 48 to see how it performs and what it’s like on board.
One of the major changes is the switch from Merucry’s raucous 450hp Racing engines on the 47 to triple 600hp V12s. These huge motors provide smooth, rapid performance and comfortably push the 50ft cruiser to 50 knots.
On board, the cockpit has been rearranged to create walkaround side decks to improve the flow of the decks and the ease of passage up to the foredeck. L-shaped dating dominates the aft end of the deck and the table sinks to create a sun pad and disappears into the floor. Below deck are two cabins split by a dinette, galley and large bathroom.
It may be the smallest boat in the Azimut range but it’s one of the best the Italian outfit has produced.
