• Has a dock available in Palma de Mallorca (by separate agreement),
• And is extremely well priced,

……………then Time Out could be the yacht for you.

Time Out has had only two owners since she was launched in 2003. The current owner purchased the yacht in 2006 at which time she was in Palma de Mallorca, where she has remained since. The yacht has benefited from a full time captain throughout her life and from maintenance being provided by the highly skilled service providers that are to be found in that globally recognised yachting hub.

The owner has great appreciation and respect for the importance of proper maintenance, learnt through operating helicopters and light aircraft for many years. Consequently, Time Out has enjoyed a diligent and consistent approach to ensuring her mechanical wellbeing resulting in reliable and safe boating season after season.

Time Out has provided an ideal platform for creating cherished memories with family and friends, primarily whilst cruising locally in the Balearics, but also on occasional longer excursions such as the +/- 1500nm round trip to the Amalfi Coast of Southwest Italy. 

Time Out has proved to be a faithful servant, dearly loved by the owner and their family. Now though, in light of their decision to pursue a different style of boating, there is a super opportunity for this lovely yacht to be enjoyed by a new keeper.

Thank you for considering Time Out of London.

The joinery and cabinets are Cherry wood with a satin finish. A cream carpet is laid through the yacht with the salon and dining area being protected by a fitted canvas cover. The galley and heads/showers of the VIP and guest cabins, and crew quarters have wood flooring. The master suite ensuite has marble flooring.

MAIN DECK

Entering from the aft deck through the large stainless steel framed patio door you arrive in the salon. Here there are spacious leather upholstered sofas to port and starboard, and cabinetry to port which houses the 42” TV on a lift system and other AV equipment, as well as providing storage.

Moving forward, the galley is on the port side opposite dining to starboard. A well thought out feature here is the ability to have the galley open to the dining area or for it to be closed off by sliding shutters. The dining table is on runners allowing it to be positioned more outboard or inboard depending on how many people wish to be seated. In it’s outboard position it helpfully creates more space in the companionway.

At the forward end of the main deck is the lower helm position to port and to starboard are the stairs leading down to the lower deck.

There are two watertight pantograph doors to the side decks. One on the port side from the galley and one on the starboard side at the top of stairs that lead to the lower deck. These really enhance access around the yacht and create great air flow should you opt for natural ventilation instead of running the air conditioning.

LOWER DECK

Beginning forward, the lower deck features a VIP cabin with ensuite head/shower. Aft of the VIP cabin there are two guest cabins, one to port and one to starboard, both with ensuite head/shower. The starboard cabin ensuite head/shower also serves as the day head with daytime access from the companionway so there is no need to enter the cabin. Amidships is the full beam master suite with a large ensuite head/shower to starboard including his & hers sinks and spacious power shower, a walk-in closet to port, sofa to starboard, lots of storage and large portholes providing great views and plenty of light.

The Crew Quarters, positioned between the master suite and engine room, comprise one bunk cabin, separate crew mess and Pullman berth providing accommodation for three instead of two as standard. They can be accessed via a stair from the galley or via the engine room using the transom door. The selection of crew access routes together with the port side pantograph door from the galley to the side deck help to greatly minimise the need for crew to disturb guests while going about their duties. Such separation is difficult to achieve so well on a yacht of this size and was considered a remarkable feature when the 80 Carat was launched.

All exterior decks are laid with teak. The gelcoat finish to the topsides and superstructure maintains a good level of gloss and was machine polished prior to the 2023 season.

FLYBRIDGE

The Azimut 80 is well known for having an expansive flybridge that provides a large amount of seating plus a sun bathing area. Time Out has the optional teak deck here and other upgrades include extra refrigeration, electric BBQ/Grill and a heavyweight bimini frame. This is a lovely area for relaxing and for dining whilst enjoying a great view of your surroundings. The aft end of this deck is home to the tender, a 4m Novurania with 50Hp Mercury 4 stroke outboard, and its crane, an upgraded Opacmare unit rated at 400Kg.

MAIN DECK

At the foredeck there is a large, cushioned sunbathing area in addition to which Time Out has two recliner chairs and a table that can be arranged at the bow and folded away for stowing out of sight when not in use. A very nice feature is that the anchor windlass is concealed so, unlike most yachts, the foredeck area is completely clear.

Moving aft, the side decks are of a comfortable width and the interior can be accessed from either side via pantograph doors around midships.

The aft deck provides a beautifully varnished table mounted on a robust stainless steel pedestal. It can be configured in a ‘small’ round mode or have inserts added to become a larger oval dining table. Mesh sun/wind shades are available which connect between the flybridge overhang and the aft deck coaming providing very effective relief from the sun whilst still allowing you to view the surroundings. There is a drinks fridge, and stairs to the flybridge and bathing platform. Importantly, the stairs are large and at a comfortable angle. Access to and from the dock is via a stainless steel telescopic passerelle that vanishes completely out of sight when not in use and has integrated lights for a little extra safety at night.

BATHING PLATFORM

The port side of the platform features a large GRP door that gives access to a garage designed for stowage of a jet ski and equipped with a winch to assist with launch and recovery. In Time Out’s case, this space is home to two kayaks. Just off the centreline of the transom to port is another door concealing the integrally moulded stair between the platform and aft deck as well as the pocket inside which the electro-hydraulic telescopic Opacmare passerelle is housed. Both doors are hydraulically operated. Just to starboard of the centreline is a manually operated watertight door giving access to the engine room and through to the crew quarters. A telescopic electro-hydraulically operated bathing ladder is housed within the platform.

Azimut 80 Carat

Smart, subdued styling makes the Azimut 80 Carat a gem in her class.

By Dudley Dawson

Aficionados of fine diamonds consider the four C’s in purchase decisions. Azimut designated its new motoryacht “Carat” with one of the C’s in mind, but I found the cut, color and clarity of this 80-foot fiberglass jewel equally telling in appreciating her value. Like any fine gem, she is not flawless but comes very close.

The Azimut 80 Carat is an open and largely informal family yacht, a trait she shares with other models in the Azimut line. Her informality does not imply any lack of quality in her finish, however. Cherry bulkheads, cabinetry and overhead accents are highly detailed, well fitted and finished in high-gloss lacquer that twinkles with clear reflections of recessed overhead lights. (NB: Lacquer in Time Out is satin, not high gloss)

Upholstered furniture, soft bulkhead panels and dramatically shaped overheads are in neutral hues that nicely complement the woodwork. Most countertops are marble or granite. The master head sole is marble, while wood is used in other heads. The sole of the in-line galley is a sensible nonslip patterned rubber that will be easy to clean and comfortable on the feet. (NB: Time Out has a wood sole in the galley)

The Carat’s profile, from the talented hand of stylist Stephano Righini, identifies her as a sister to other Azimut yachts, both larger and smaller. Yet unlike Azimuts that have a large, continuous oval pattern in the deckhouse window, the Carat’s window is divided by a sizeable “dorsal fin” post. It eases the earlier look’s boldness and blends nicely into the curves of the pilothouse and flying bridge.

This boat’s size puts her on the cusp of that point between owner-operated and crewed yacht, maybe a little past it. Only the most capable family will want to cruise her alone. Most will carry at least a captain, perhaps a mate, too. Though the 80 is primarily a production yacht, Azimut offers an option on the crew arrangement. The standard version has crew’s quarters with upper-and-lower single berths and a small mess. The optional American arrangement replaces the mess with a double berth and hanging locker for the captain, allowing space for a chef/steward in the second single if desired. (NB: Time Out has a custom crew configuration that accommodates three)

On yachts this length, the basic question is always the same: four comfortable staterooms, or three that are a bit more lavish? The Carat opts for four and does not offer an alternative, but her eight guests will not suffer.

The full-beam master is near amidships, where pitch will be minimal. The master is separated from the engine room by the crew’s quarters, but during our trials, there was little perceptible vibration on the afterdeck and none inside the yacht. The master has a vanity and a large walk-in locker to port, and a comfortable settee to starboard. The head includes a spacious shower, a bidet and two sinks.

VIP guests are accommodated in a bow stateroom with an island queen berth. The remaining four guests occupy two twin-berth cabins, port and starboard between the master and VIP staterooms. Though more compact, the twin cabins are finished and outfitted as nicely as the two main staterooms. For example, the VIP and twin cabins have nearly identical heads: All have circular showers with water outlets overhead that provide the rain-showering equivalent of surround sound. Curved acrylic shower doors rotate out of the way when not in use, allowing extra floor space in front of the toilet and sink.

The Carat’s second option in arrangement comes in the dining area on the main deck’s starboard side. The standard layout includes an oval dining table surrounded by eight chairs, while the American version replaces the outboard chairs with a large banquette. Both have a compact galley to port, facing the table. A beautifully built tambour panel lets the galley remain open as a buffet for informal dinners and cocktail parties. During more formal meals, the panel can be closed for privacy.

A lower helm is forward of the galley. Aft, the saloon has fixed seating on two settees facing an entertainment center in the after corner of the room.

The afterdeck is spacious and fully protected from sun and rain by the extended flying-bridge deck above. Full-length side decks and aft mooring stations with raised capstans, cleats and roller fairleads make docking a snap.

A single stairway leads to an integral swim platform. In port or at anchor, a transom door provides entry to the engine room and, through it, access to the crew’s quarters. Stern stowage lockers large enough for personal watercraft flank the door.

Accessibility in the engine room is good outboard of the engines, excellent in all other areas. I was happy to see emergency fire dampers on the ventilation ducts and a structural cage around the V-drive shaft, safety features too often omitted.

The flying-bridge deck is huge. Even with a tender stowed aft and a large sun pad, there is still plenty of room for socializing. The driver’s pod at the centerline helm has enough space for a companion on either side.

Testing the Carat in the azure waters off Azimut’s home port of Viareggio, Italy, I got a good feel for the hull’s performance. She tracked true and was good in turns, with moderate inboard banking, little loss of speed and no noticeable bow drop. The ride was easy with no pounding or slap, and inside, the boat was quiet enough for normal conversation at the helm.

Encountering a combination of swells and small chop was not the same as running in heavy weather, but the Carat’s V-hull with a fine entry and 10 degrees of deadrise at the transom should take on the seas with the same ease I’ve enjoyed on other Azimuts with similar hull forms. Both lower and upper helms were excellent. Controls were straightforward and easy to operate, and response to the wheel and throttles was immediate and predictable.

We topped out at 32.4 knots at 2300 rpm, this boat being equipped with MTU 12V 2000 engines developing 1,500 hp each.

The Azimut 80 Carat’s combination of reliable composite construction, interior and exterior comfort, smart yet subdued styling and excellent performance make her a jewel worthy of consideration. She is suitable for formal or informal entertaining, day-tripping or extended cruising.
