Azimut 55 S Sea Trial with Andy Adams and Executive Yacht

Azimut55s

 

Derek Mader of Executive Yacht and Andy Adams are just coming back from a lengthy test run aboard the new Azimut 55S in Lake Ontario. Winds were high, the seas were towering and breaking white but the Azimut was solid and impressive all the way. Executive Yacht is the dealer for Azimut, and the 55S will be featured in an upcoming issue of Canadian Yachting magazine. This is a feature-laden boat with both high style and high performance.

Read all about it the next issue of Canadian Yachting.
