The external styling alone, particularly that fighter-style glass canopy, would be enough to grab anyone's attention, but this boat is packed with a lot more innovations and ideas, inside and out.The main deck layout is an object lesson in how things should be done, with a long, curving sofa and table on the bridge deck opposite the helm, port and starboard seating down aft, and a sunpad over the tender garage. The result is plenty of comfortable space to sit, lounge, or lie down, and with glass all around and overhead, the views from the upper dinette are unsurpassed. It really feels like sitting outside--especially with the big roof panel slid back.Venturing down below you're faced with a beautiful open space, with a starboard side galley offering plenty of practical stowage space space both at eye level and below the worktop, including a thoughtfully provided slot for the worktop infill panels that cover the cooktop and sink. On the port side is a large sofa lounge area perfect for relaxing after a day at sea.Practicality remains the theme throughout. Atlantis describes the 55 as a "two-master" yacht, as it will be hard to choose between the amidships and forward cabins. The amidships stateroom offers a big, offset double berth under the cockpit sole and standing headroom on the port side, but the forward cabin runs a close second. Both have roomy en suite heads and as much practical stowage space as possible, both in the cabins and the heads. The third cabin, a twin on the starboard side between the midships master and the galley, offers two twin beds or the option to convert the beds to a double.Azimut Atlantis 55 equipmentCat C12' enginesRetractable, sliding hardtop (Sun Roof)Bow thrusterStern thruster13-kW Kohler generatorWatermakerToy garageElectronic engine controlsNew batteries, battery wiring and chargerNew AC unitsHuge sunpads in cockpit and at back on deck above toy garageHuge sun pad on foredeckOpening helm side windowsVacuflush heads2 burner stoveConvertible microwaveLCD TV's, Sonic audio systemTeak swim step and cockpit floorsInflatable tender w/ outboard motorExtra freezer located above the washer/dryer in pantryRefrigeratorFreezerTender garage with dinghy and additional storage space for water sports equipmentCockpit wet bar with BBQ, refrigerator, freezer, etc.TV/DVDs in all cabins and in salonOutdoor kitchen in salon with built in BBQ, refrigerator and sinkTwo large seating areas on deck; one across the helm station that has a large folding table and another large L shaped couch towards aftThree large 'lounge' areas on deck; one on the forward sun deck, one aft over the transom garage, one elevated for panoramic views under the glass canopy / cockpitUnderwater lights for spectacular viewing of marine life at night
