2024 Azimut S7

A Checkered Past is an outstanding example of the highly sought-after Azimut S7 and represents one of the most extensively equipped S7 configurations available. Originally commissioned with approximately $1.36 million in factory options, she combines an exceptional factory specification with meticulous ownership, professional maintenance, and significant equipment upgrades.

With only approximately 455 original engine hours, A Checkered Past has been fully captain maintained and professionally yacht management serviced since new. She is presented in truly pristine condition and is ready for her next owner to enjoy immediately.

In May 2026, the yacht underwent a comprehensive mechanical inspection and complete scheduled service, ensuring her major systems were operating as intended. Following service, the entire vessel received a professional full polish and wax.

Designed to combine the performance of a sport yacht with the comfort and versatility of a flybridge, the Azimut S7 delivers an exceptional cruising experience. A Checkered Past is powered by triple Volvo Penta D13 IPS-1050 engines and complemented by a Seakeeper 18 gyro stabilizer, Volvo Assisted Docking System, proportional bow thruster, and an extensive Garmin electronics package.

Her specification is equally impressive throughout the interior and exterior, including extensive teak decking, upgraded lighting packages, premium entertainment systems, hydraulic gangway, bow sunshade, flybridge and cockpit entertainment centers, upgraded appliances, and an extensive list of factory options.
