Projects: Azimut 88, Azimut 100 Leonardo

And finally we come to the last two preview projects of the eight new models Azimut will present in 2009. A record from the famous Italian builder! Both of these new models enter super yacht status being all over eighty feet in length. As all the Azimut models, the Italian builder continues the design work with Stefano Righini exterior, and Carlo Galeazzi for interiors. The first presentation above is the 88, what seems a further development of the 85 presented in 2006. The 88 apart adding further length to the 85 seems also to add more big view windows in the cabins. With a set of three vertical windows developed for the guest cabins. There is also a change in the owners mid ship cabin with now having four vertical windows, which if I am correct these also open up as the ones presented and being used for the smaller 58 Flybridge. The 88 will be presented in the Genoa show in October.
The 100 Leonardo is the second super yacht to be presented by the Viareggio Turin builder. The project of the 100 Leonardo seems to be a further development of the 98 Leonardo highly improved in 2006 and as at that year delivered in 30 examples. Still with Azimut a new model is always a surprise, and this might be a totally new model with some innovative solutions. The 100 Leonardo will be launched in Cannes in September.

  2. they had a video showing all pictures of the new releases which now has been stopped,

  5. I'm interested in a 06,07,08 Leonardo, does anyone know of any substantial differences between the years?

  6. Hello from 2006 onwards there is little difference, as the dinette settee on the fore deck was introduced from that year onwards. If you go backwards 2005 and older, you have no fore deck settee.
