A seventeen meter Azimut 55 with no persons onboard went ablaze near the island of Otok Zut, in the Kornati archipelago, Croatia on the early evening of Sunday sixth August. No one was onboard the Azimut yacht at the moment of the fire, although the owners where reported to be nearby the yacht. Local fire fighters rushed to the scene and towed the yacht outside the bay and then let it sink in the depths of the sea. Nearby boaters reported as seeing the fire starting from the main deck of the yacht.
The yacht in this fire is the popular Azimut 55 Evo as designed by Stefano Righini for exterior and Carlo Galeazzi for interior from 2005 till 2009. the 55 Evo was a soft evolution of the standard 55 with differences in interior woods, and midships cabin windows, what was a top seller in its class, selling in over three hundred units in an eight year production run, the success coming for its unique at the time full beam midships stateroom layout. The 55 was a replacement to the 58 Full and was replaced by the Azimut 58.
