Outer Reef 670 Azure Sport Yacht: A Long-Range Bluewater Cruiser

Like all Outer Reef Yachts models, the 670 Azure Sport Yacht is a stalwart long-range cruiser. It has a stout, hand-laid fiberglass hull and PVC coring above the waterline for strength without added weight. This yacht—part of the builder’s Classic S series—also has a focus on alfresco living and entertaining.

The cockpit has a dining area aft with a fixed teak table and a transom bench seat. Forward and to port, a two-stool bar shares a countertop with the aft galley. When the window and sliding glass door are open, the two spaces blend, creating an indoor-outdoor entertaining area. The galley aft makes it easy to serve guests in the salon and the cockpit simultaneously.

The 670’s interior has satin-finish teak, a white vinyl headliner and abundant natural light, all creating a warm vibe. Supreme Scene

Wide side decks and high bulwarks topped with stainless-steel handrails allow for safe passage to and from the foredeck, which has a different setup compared to previous Classic series builds. There is a deep, U-shaped settee with a high-low teak table and room for six people. For times when the sun gets a little too hot, a shade extends off the superstructure and secures to two poles forward.

The 670’s Serenity Foredeck Lounge area came about thanks to a couple’s vision for dining and seating with a close connection to the ocean environment all around. Supreme Scene

The 670 Azure Sport’s flybridge has two sections: an isinglass-enclosed space forward under the hardtop, as well as an open deck aft. The helm station is under the hardtop, and guests have lounge seating aft to keep the captain company and take in the views underway. Two L-shaped settees flank the entryway, with a fixed table paired with a settee to port. The after section of the flybridge has tender stowage and a grill station.

The pilothouse helm station has an Admiral 500N Stidd helm seat, a custom wood steering wheel, a Hypro Marine hydraulic steering system, a bow-thruster control and quick side-deck access. Supreme Scene

Standard power on the 670 Azure Sport Yacht is twin 500 hp John Deere 6090 diesels with ZF transmissions. Optional power includes 750 hp John Deere engines and Caterpillar C12.9s—which are on the first hull delivered. Depending on the power package, cruise speeds can reportedly range from 9 to 16.5 knots, with top speeds from 14 to 20 knots. Cruising at 9 knots gives the yacht a reported 1,200-nautical-mile range.

The full-beam master stateroom is amidships with a king berth and an en suite head. It also has generous natural lighting coming in via windows to port and starboard. Supreme Scene

Accommodations include three staterooms. The owner’s stateroom is amidships and spans the vessel’s 17-foot-2-inch beam, with a king berth and en suite head. There is also a forepeak VIP stateroom with a tapered queen berth, and a third guest stateroom to port with bunk berths—a convenient arrangement for cruising families.
