Fun, sporty boating on a budget

The new Atlantis 34 Azimut gives you a lot of boat for your buck.

Building a budget boat isn't hard, and neither is building a high-quality one, says Nick Burnham in Motorboats Monthly. But combining the two takes some skill. This new Atlantis 34 Azimut has "risen to the task with tremendous success, creating a boat that feels every inch the quality product yet with a price tag that's bound to send a few shivers through the competition".

If you look closely you can see where corners have been cut, but the overall impression remains one of "quiet class", says Burnham. Space has been used intelligently, with a simple and safe deck outside, an open-plan main cabin, a gallery, a proper toilet and shower, and a large V-shaped dinette that can be converted into a "huge" double berth sleeping area.
