New Model: Azimut Seadeck 7

 

Azimut Seadeck range continues to expand, and following the 6 launched in Spring, here comes the second Seadeck 7 model just some months later.  Azimut has been the yachting innovator and with this new Seadeck range challenges itself first and the competition later with a yacht which transforms and expands to give more exterior spaces, and to be available in mild or pure hybrid propulsion, and is full circle eco-conscious from materials used in construction to its usage.  The second Seadeck 7 model is actually the test bed for Volvo's upcoming hybrid propulsion which was announced in 2023 and is able to cruise in pure electric mode up to eleven knots and stay at anchor with zero emissions for up to twelve hours, with the aim to significantly enhance onboard comfort and sustainability.  Volvo's hybrid propulsion set up will be available towards the end of 2025.  A four double cabins yacht, the bigger Seadeck 7 just like the smaller 6 offers sport utilitarian feel to this Alberto Mancini designed series.  The Seadeck 7 is also a transformative yacht and apart the flip side expandable balconies, also features a large opening side door on the port side of the main saloon which connects it to the exterior along the fully openable aft patio door, which makes the interior become part of exterior.  The Azimut Seadeck 7 also features a sport bridge up top, with the stairway to this area located at midships to starboard. The Azimut is standard powered by twin Volvo 900hp and or larger 1000hp with IPS pod drives, for top speeds up to 29 knots from the smaller engines and 32 knots from the optional.

New Model: Azimut Fly 62

Azimut debuted its new innovative Fly 62 model at the 2024 Cannes Yacht Festival.  A replacement of the successful 60 Flybridge, the Fly 62 comes from Alberto Mancini for exterior, Fabio Fantolino for interior, and Francesco Rogantin doing the naval architecture along with Azimut's technical department.  For this new Fly 62 Mancini presents a low profile yacht, similar to the recent Azimut yachts he designed, but with the flybridge upright radar arch and hard-top giving the yacht a contrasted more utilitarian look.  The Azimut Fly 62 distinct feature is the rethinking for the exterior aft deck space, with the optional Beach Cockpit, which opens the transom outward, lowering the sofa in a synchronized movement, eliminating any physical barriers and creating a spacious sunbathing area closer to the water.  This Azimut Fly 62 solution offers a unique connection to the sea for a yacht in this segment and challenges the competition with a different thinking of looking aft rather then to the sides.  For the interior Pierluigi Fontalino presents a light filled and soft coloured palette, with a living on the main deck and three double cabins three head layout below deck. Fantolino presented an aft galley layout, with a dinette to starboard, and L-shaped lounge with opposite lounger further forward and one step up.  For the accommodation lower deck the Fly 62 has a master stateroom at midships with the berth looking to starboard, a forward VIP suite, and a third cabin with twin berths to starboard.  An optional one or two berth crew cabin is located at midships.  The Azimut Fly 62 is standard powered by twin Volvo 800hp with IPS pod drives for estimated top speeds up to thirty knots.

Project: Azimut Fly 62

Azimut present the Fly 62 project, what will feature an innovative take on the beach club in a flybridge motor yacht, and goes against those who look at extending the sides.  As is usual Azimut does things its way and looks astern, to offer a fresh take on the family loving flybridge motor yacht. Azimut is not new to beach clubs, its 2012 debutante 55S had a beach extendable aft platform, and its new Seadeck range which just launched its 6 model is build around the beach club concept, but somehow its innovative flybridge motor yachts has remained rather conservative astern. This new Fly 62 changes this with what Azimut calls its Beach Cockpit version, a transformative aft deck which redefines the category with a forward facing lounge settee which drops down and transforms to a sun-pad looking aft a couple of foot above sea water level. Designed by Alberto Mancini, the Fly 62 is a replacement to one of Azimut's most successful models of recent times the seven years produced 60 Flybridge, and here we see the Italian designer follow his horizontal, soft and clean modern lines, with a hard-top and flybridge.  The designer take on horizontal lines also moves the super structure forward, although in these renderings its looks less so then to other models.  Mancini also presents an angular hard-top giving the Fly 62 a more masculine look, but also a familiar design to that of the larger Grande models.  For the interiors of the Fly 62, Azimut has chosen Fabio Fantolino his second job for the famous Italian brand following his 2023 debut with the Fly 72.  The Azimut Fly 62 is to be powered by twin Volvo 900hp with IPS pod drives for speeds up to 32 knots, World first upcoming the first half of September in Cannes.

New Model: Azimut Seadeck 6

When Azimut enters a genre or invents a new one it is always revolutionary!  So when the Seadeck line of eco-friendly and eco-conscious yachts was announced in early 2023 it looked from the beginning that the yachting sector was up for an innovative shake-down experience.  The Seadeck line is Azimut's most eco-friendly series to date which promises a 40% reduction of emissions in a year of usage, a huge result considering that the Italian yacht builder has been going eco-conscious since 2012 and the debut of its 55S model.  The 6 as all following Seadeck's are a mild or optional full hybrid planning sport yacht, which takes eco-friendly yachting into its next step in a long journey ahead.  But as usual for Azimut the criteria has to meet the purpose so designer Alberto Mancini was instructed to bring a new style yacht giving with a mix of exploration and sporty details which give best of use, while a new hull shape by NAMES which features a sharp entry promises reduced consumption at all speeds, and re-thinking of the construction and finishing materials used.  That is why the Azimut Seadeck 6 uses cork as replacement to teak for its deck, and carpets are made of re-purposed raw materials, with the same thing being done to 30% of the yachts skeleton. The Azimut Seadeck 6 debuted in mid-April first during the Milano Design Week 2024, with its official showing coming in end May at the always growing Venice boat show.  The first Seadeck 6 is fitted with the mild-hybrid zero emissions hotel mode, a 42 kwh lithium battery pack which will give up to eight hours of silent generator-free boating, with a full hybrid system of which the yacht is ready to embrace coming before the end of the year.  The Azimut Seadeck 6 is not yachting re-invented, more repurposed to be one of the most environmental clean and innovative yachts in the market today, which will entice buyers mostly with its expandable outdoor areas, like its drop down bulk heads which extend exterior spaces in a different way to yachts of similar size.  Look at it and then you see that it is actually a beach club from a forty meter super yacht, but fitted to a seventeen meters.

Project: Azimut Grande 44M

Once upon a time Azimut-Benetti Group never felt the confidence to push Azimut Yachts beyond 35 meters, this was particularly shown in 2012 when the Grande 140 and 125 projects were eventually rebadged as Benetti Fast Line during project stages.  Things change with times and after 2021 and the launch of the Trideck 38 meter and its success of 21 hulls sold to date, Azimut is now going further into bigger dimensions, with the project for this new sleek looking and innovative Grande 44M project presented during the Palm Beach 2024 boat show.  Azimut’s new flagship is as all the recent offers a Low Emission Yacht with concept and exterior styling by Alberto Mancini and interiors by M²atelier, who are working with the Shipyard for the first time.  The Grande 44M as is the usual course of Azimut brings the future to the present, an expression of its mission to marry technological innovation, visionary design and a focus on environmental sustainability. Grande 44M amazes by offering something that doesn’t exist today: a superyacht with reduced CO2 emissions that brings bold, flowing lines to a design with four decks rather than the traditional three, embracing and sculpting significant volumes. Grande 44M is a super yacht that offers a unique and unexpected onboard lifestyle for this segment, with a stand-out Upper Deck, which can be converted into an Owner’s Deck with uninterrupted sea views both forward and astern. The concept underpinning the innovative styling created by Azimut in partnership with Alberto Mancini, is the decision to move the helm station to the fourth deck, freeing up the Upper Deck so that it can be transformed into an Owner’s Deck featuring the master suite and a private terrace offering spectacular views. to aft, the Grande 44M reoffers the Mezzanine Deck with Sea View Terrace that was central to the success of Grande Trideck theme. On the Grande 44M, this stage overlooking the sea is made even more unique by the See Through Pool, with its plays on transparency that establish continuous contact with the water and generate reflections that give the beach club an even more magical feel. The new layout means that architecture firm M²atelier, who are working with Azimut for the first time, could create an interior design that balances functionality and aesthetics, making the owners’ experience central and offering versatile settings to configure according to how they like to spend their time with family and friends. The forward section of Grande 44M’s Upper Deck can be fitted out as a media room for guests or reserved for the owner, or alternatively as a dining area with veranda accommodating twelve people. In both cases, almost two-meter-long windows on either side provide open views outside, where a lounge area in the bow with a small firepit offers a cozy space from which to watch the sun set over the water. It’s a lifestyle aspired to by everyone who loves the sea. Water is the key element in the narrative told by m²atelier, capturing its essence and giving back fluidity, dynamism and reflections. m²atelier, a firm with an international reputation for creative projects in multiple sectors, from residences and hotels to retail and product design brings as a distinctive signature for Azimut a clear message, accented by refined, subtle, whispered details that seduce with a discreet simplicity completely free of affectation or overemphasis. Grande 44M is not only a design and lifestyle masterpiece, but also a highly advanced naval architecture project and a new milestone in the green course charted by Azimut. The yacht is also the flagship of the Shipyard’s family of Low Emission Yachts, models that offer a reduction  between 20 and 30% in emissions compared to more traditional naval architectures of the same size. The innovative naval platform of Grande 44M is based on a Dual Mode hull, the introduction of the Hull Vane® foil technology and the Mild Hybrid Plus Zero Emission Hotel Mode system. The Dual Mode hull, developed in partnership by P.L. Ausonio Naval Architecture and the Azimut Research and Design department, represents the union of two types of conventional hull: the bow section is typical for fast displacement boats, while the part from midships to the stern has a chine commonly found on planning hulls. This results in a hull that allows a considerable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions at every speed range. The foil technology is installed for the first time on an Azimut yacht thanks to the collaboration between Hull Vane, Dutch company global leader in the design of advanced hydrodynamic solutions, and the Azimut|Benetti Group Research and Design Department which has gained a great experience in the design and production of carbon components. The Hull Vane® carbon wing fitted to the stern of Grande 44M is able to suppress the stern wave and generate forward thrust, providing further reduction in overall drag as well as damping of pitch, sway, and roll in navigation. The ability to combine onboard comfort with a focus on environmental sustainability is a stand-out feature of the designs developed by Azimut, which now already offers six models that can be fitted with a Zero Emission Hotel Mode system, making it possible to stay at anchor from up to eight hours with the generators turned off. On the Azimut Grande 44M this technology achieves maximum efficiency in combination with the Mild Hybrid Plus system, a new level of electrification developed by Azimut|Benetti Group in partnership with Asea Nautica. The Mild Hybrid Plus Zero Emission Hotel Mode system is the only solution today that makes it possible to cruise with the generators off and all loads connected, as well as producing a surplus of energy used to recharge the battery pack. Grande 44M is scheduled to be presented to the public at the Cannes 2026 boat show, with Azimut already announcing five units sold at the unveiling of the project during the Palm Beach boat show.

New Model: Azimut Fly 72

The circle keeps on coming complete for Azimut with the new Fly 72 being the latest to take the Alberto Mancini design treatment outside.  The Azimut Fly 72 replaces the Righini designed 72 Flybridge which launched in 2015 after nearly eight years of production, and is also a new shaft propulsion yacht in its Fly line since 2018, which was the 55 Flybridge which debuted at Dusseldorf of that year.  As is usual to  Alberto Mancini for the Azimut Fly 72 he continues to show a sporty element in his designs, leaner and horizontal characterized clean lines, which further emphasize the sculptural tension that characterizes the Fly Series. Fabio Fantolino responsible for the interior on the other hand, renders the Fly 72 according to his distinctive style aimed at seeking perfect harmony between elegance, design and technique. The interiors are designed with a transversal stylistic approach, also evident in the choice of materials and shapes: wood combined with precious materials such as bronze and glossy lacquers, and shapes balanced between linearity and softness.  The Azimut Fly 72 also comes with a few options form the choice to make a 42 inch Lift TV on the flybridge, to the most important one of an Enclosed or Open galley on the main deck.  Down below the Azimut Fly 72 has a traditional four double cabins layout, with a master stateroom at midships, VIP suite forward, and two double cabins.  A crew cabin with two berths is located aft.  The Azimut Fly 72 is powered by two 1400hp Man engines with line shaft propulsion which give a cruise of 26 knots and reach a top speed up to 31 knots.

New Model: Azimut Magellano 60

Azimut Magellano 60 was first presented during the twelfth Azimut Yachting Gala 2023 in Toarmina, Sicily with the official World debut following a couple months later in  Cannes.  The Magellano 60, is the latest in Azimut crossover line which debuted in 2009 with the revolutionary 74 model, a line designed for owners who want longer voyages full of adventure.  This eighteen meter yacht is also today the new entry level in Azimut Magellano explorer yacht range, presented in a new size for the line.  Sure some might say it replaces the 53 model, but if one would go onboard the Magellano 60, this new model stands out more as a smaller 66, also for the large spaces on board, generous without compromising the elegance of Ken Freivokh's lines. The cockpit is configured as a natural extension of the large lounge on the Main Deck and the stern transforms into a terrace capped with a transparent parapet that creates an Infinity Terrace overlooking the water that offers a navigation experience in complete harmony with nature and the sea. The crossover soul of the Magellano 60 is also through the efficiency Dual Mode semi-planning, now into its eight hull, which allows navigation at low speeds in total comfort but also to handle higher speeds by attenuating the impact of the waves and optimizing consumption and emissions. As is usual to Azimut looking forward never stops and the Magellano 60 was also the yacht chosen by the Italian yacht builder for the first test voyage powered by HVOlution biofuel, produced by Eni Sustainable Mobility with 100% renewable raw materials.  The tests carried out by Azimut in the summer of 2023 recorded exceptional results in terms of compatibility and performance, with a reduction in CO2 emissions of more than 80% compared to a yacht of comparable size powered by fossil diesel.

Project: Azimut Grande 30M

Finally we are presented with some details of the Grande 30M project which was announced during Azimut yearly Cannes Yachting Festival press conference.  A new super yacht designed by Alberto Mancini, the Grande 30M will sit in between the top selling 27M and 32M models, and brings style cues in an evolutionary way from the 2022 launched 26M and 36M as designed by the same designer.  For the new Grande 30M Alberto Mancini presents a sporty profiled raised pilot house design with a semi-wide body main deck, and a unique fully flush upper deck with a full walk-around fore to aft and for the full length of the yacht.  The Grande 30M will also feature latest designs from Azimut Grande line, from the Deck2Deck Terrace which expands the aft deck when raising the garage hatch, to the Infinity Skydeck, and the Glass House with fully disappearing full-height windows transforming into a veranda open on three sides, establishing a union between the large aft lounge and the Infinity Pool which overlooks the sea off the bow.  The Grande 30M will feature interiors as designed by M2atelier of Marco Bonelli and Marijana Radovic, who for the Azimut-Benetti Group will create fluid and informal spaces set in a sustainable minimalism. No details of the layout are presented as yet but seeing the rendering above, expect a huge forward fore-deck master stateroom, and a four guest cabin below. The Grande 30M is also part of Azimut Low Emission Yachts, which today includes over half of the brands models guaranteeing a twenty to thirty per cent reduction in consumption and Co2 emissions, thanks to the use of carbon fibre, dedicated hull design for this efficiency and the use of pod propulsion.

Project: Azimut Seadeck 9

Azimut new Seadeck series with sport-adventure looks and a large aft beach club area which extends both aft and to ship-sides set to launch with the 6 model in 2024, is already proving to be one of the most anticipated launches of the upcoming year.  Now Azimut is teasing Seadeck series fans even more with the first side profile rendering of the 9 project.  The Azimut Seadeck 9 was not announced during the press release of the new sporty range in March 2023, which announced the trio of 6, 7, and 8 models from sixty to eighty feet, with the 24 meter flagship still under wraps; no rendering shown and a target date launch for early 2025.  At this stage it is not known if the Azimut Seadeck 9 is an additional fourth model of the range, or if the 8 became larger because of a client request or during project and market analysis.  What we know so far of the Seadeck 9 is that it will feature an impressive 30% reduction in Co2 emissions thanks to the use of Bio-Diesel as envisioned by Azimut Green Path partnered with Politecnico di Torino, Eni Sustainable Mobility, Lloyd's Register, and Superyacht Eco Association as created by Yacht Club de Monaco and Credit Suisse.

Project: Azimut Fly 72

While some other brands keep delaying a new model, Azimut anticipates the market with the new Fly 72, a project announced just ten days before debuting at the 2023 Cannes boat show, which will debut along the two other Magellano 60 and Verve 48 Azimut novelties at the Cote d'Azur passarelle. The new Azimut Fly 72 replaces the fall 2015 launched 72 Flybridge after seven years of production, and continues the evolution of the Alberto Mancini era, which started with the 78 Flybridge in 2019. Three more Azimut to go for Alberto Mancini and transforming all the Flybridge range to his vision. The Azimut Fly 72 will also feature interior by Fabio Fantolino, a new name for the Italian builder, but also a first for the Torino and Milan based architect in the boating World. According to Azimut press release Fantolino will bring a transversal design language in the Fly 72, with the interior rendering showing clean modern furnishings. In the press release Azimut has not shared details of the Fly 72 accommodation, of which I would expect a standard four cabins layout and a crew cabin for two. Azimut is also quiet on the technical details, the outgoing 72 Flybridge is Man powered with shafts, but the 68 and 78 are Volvo IPS powered. So it will be interesting if Azimut will continue it's move into pods with this new Fly 72 model.

New Model: Azimut Grande 36M

Just a year later to the launch of the largest ever Azimut, the 38 meter Trideck flagship which has so far sold in eighteen units and deliveries going into 2026 the famous Italian name launch a two meter smaller Grande 36M, which is also a replacement to the 2017 launched Grande 35M produced till 2021 in nineteen hulls.  With only two meters smaller to the big Trideck the Grande 36M is a different second in size model, with designer Alberto Mancini giving sleeker lines, also because unlike the flagship she is a two deck with raised pilot house design.  It is interesting how the Grande 36M though looks sleek and sporty, thanks to the clever deck integration by Alberto Mancini, doing all this without losing space.  This is also happening also for the extensive use of carbon fibre for the super structure, which is part of a triumvirate high technology features going into the Grande 36M. The other two being its low emissions D2P displacent2planning hull shape by Pierluigi Ausonio and Azimut research and design which reduces fuel consumption by up to 30%, and an innovative air exchange treatment system that continually refreshes and treats the interior environments.  The Azimut Grande 36M offers two interior layouts, with this being about a private dining area on the top deck behind the pilot station or in the lower deck.  The cabin  arrangement is identical in both versions with a five double cabins layout including which is a master stateroom on the forward wide body part of the main deck.  The Azimut Grande 36M is powered by twin MTU 2200hp as standard or optional 2400hp engines with these giving top speeds up to 24 knots.  Azimut has so far sold eight hulls of the Grande 36M with deliveries going into 2025, with the yacht making its first appearance at the Cannes and Genoa fall 2022 boat shows.

Azimut New Web Site

Largest private owned and World famous Italian builder Azimut Yachts presents its new website. Head quartered in Italy Turin, with other construction sites located in Viareggio, and Brazil, Azimut continues to make innovation in design of the yachts its priority. Founded by still the current owner in 1969 by Paolo Vitelli, it first started up as a sailing charter company, later on it became a yachts dealer agent, and 1975 marks the humble beginnings of Azimut the yacht builder with the AZ43 Bali, followed two years later by the 32 Targa. 1982 is the start of innovation with the launch of the 105 Failaka biggest fiberglass build of the time launched in Viareggio, with Azimut also acquiring Benetti in that same year. In 1987 Azimut challenges the Blue Riband with the Azimut Atlantic Challenger, a yacht designed with Pininfarina and Fiat navigation system.  In 1991 Azimut starts the frame less glass windows concept on its yachts, the first European builder with this innovation and second in the World following Carver.  In 2000 Azimut-Benetti Group becomes the World top builder of super yachts above 24 meters in size, a position the Italian yacht builder still holds 22 years later.  2003 marks the launch of the 68S marking at the time the return for Azimut to the Sports Yacht segment which today has a range from 60 up to 100 feet.  In 2009 Azimut presents the dual mode hull semi displacement with 74 Magellano which enters the shipyard in the Explorer yacht category in its own terms. Azimut current line up has five collections; Fly, S, Grande, Magellano, Verve, and Atlantis which start from twelve meters with the 42 Verve and go up to 38 meter Trideck totaling 23 models. Azimut's new website is available in Italian and English and takes you around with the following buttons; Yachts, Find a Dealer, News and Events, Company.  Azimut has also its social media pages; Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and Linkedin with direct links located at the bottom of the page.

Project: Azimut S7

Azimut present the project for a new S7, which has now received the Alberto Mancini exterior looks treatment looking more a sibling albeit smaller to the larger S8 and S10 models.  Launched in 2017 the original S7 was designed by 1992-2018 Azimut lead designer Stefano Righini to huge success.  The mark II or Mancini version builds on the same Ausonio designed hull form, with some little changes to the layout plan.  The changes is in some details; the fore deck lounge area for example has minor design tweaks which is now more rounded and open, while the master stateroom queen berth is looking to port side bulkhead instead of an angle as it was before, and now features a large sofa to starboard opposite.  Other detail changes are the garage which is now that bit larger with the same length, not shorter to the jet-bike side.  These changes have added an extra weight of about 2500 kilograms in loaded mode, now weighing 46 ton versus the 43.5 of the Righini version but performance has not changed according to Azimut with the three Volvo 800hp and IPS pod drives still giving a declared 35 knots of top speed.

New Model: Azimut Grande 26M

Catch me if you can, Azimut's story for over three decades as it re-invents motor yachting in various forms and sizes and in design and engineering.  This new Grande 26M follows that script for the others to follow.  Replacing the nimble and sporty 25M as the baby Grande, opening the door to the big Azimut super yachts build in Viareggio, the Grande 26M comes with two important innovations; a selling one the Flex Deck, and a technical one thanks to the use of new ZF pod drives as propulsion.  The Flex Deck is the selling innovation expanding the aft deck area with the beach/garage area door going up and extending the floor, and creating a terrace on the water.  The second innovation, the technical one is the use of ZF pod drives.  Back in 2009 Azimut was heavily involved in testing the ZF pod drives with reported tests going on a 62S fitted with ZF4000 and twin 1200hp engines.  Somehow the 62S with ZF never materialized, and the 62S Italia ended up remaining on shafts and Azimut switching to triple IPS on later S models.  The results of those tests seem to have arrived, with the new Grande 26M fitted with new large ZF pod drives which look to be an exclusive to Azimut for the moment finally arriving on a production yacht.  Azimut is saying that thanks to its search for light weight materials and efficient propulsion the 26M Grande delivers 20% less consumption to similar sized yachts.

New Model: Azimut 68 Flybridge

In the fall of 2021 Azimut launched its much waited new 68 Flybridge, which continues the design language for the flybridge line by Alberto Mancini as started in 2019 with the 78 model.  Azimut calls the 68 a World yacht for its flexible main deck layout available in three different versions.  These three layout options move all around the galley choice, from the enclosed galley classic motor yacht version, to an open galley, or to an astern galley option.  Lower deck layout in the Azimut 68 Flybridge offers four double cabins, with a midships master stateroom, a VIP suite forward, a twin berth cabin, and a fourth cabin with two L-shape bunk berths.  The Azimut 68 Flybridge is powered by twin Volvo 1000hp with IPS pod drives, which give it max speed of 32 knots and a cruise of 28.  Consumption is just under eleven litres per nautical mile which makes among the best in the category for a yacht in this size.

New Model: Azimut Magellano 30 Metri

Launched in Viareggio at the end of January 2022, the first Magellano 30 Metri is the ultimate expression of Azimut’s pioneering spirit. The new flagship is designed for the experienced owner and connoisseur who plans to enjoy long-distance voyages, whatever the weather conditions and in a constant dialogue with the sea. The Magellano 30 Metri takes this desire for freedom and expresses it in the form of unprecedented seakeeping and a design that offers a view of both the sky and the sea from every point on the yacht. The intimate relationship with nature is also respected in sustainability-related choices that aim to reduce the yacht’s environmental impact.  The Magellano Collection is the Azimut Yachts line for yachtsmen who have a predilection for long cruises: Magellano is always smooth and safe at sea, with low fuel consumption and a wide range of speeds. The interiors too are designed for long stays on board. The new flagship is the perfect fit for the brand’s crossover line, reprising features such as generous volumes and a desire to amaze in different sea conditions, without however compromising on elegance and attention to detail. This result has been achieved thanks to the collaboration of the winning team that proved itself with the previous newest model the Magellano 25 Metr): Ken Freivokh, who handled the exterior styling and volumes, and Vincenzo De Cotiis, who designed the interiors. Freivokh has created refined and modern but in no way aggressive lines that catch the eye of expert yachtsmen, also from the world of sailing yachts. Unexpectedly striking, the teak louvres that close and complement the extensive glazed surfaces in the superstructure are a signature feature of the Magellano line. In keeping with its crossover call, the new 30-metre supper yacht offers spacious, light-filled interiors that De Cotiis has successfully made intimate and inviting.  Freivokh and De Cotiis have designed the three decks of the new Magellano by breathing life into their shared vision of a yacht in seamless contact with the sea, from the Infinity Terrace that welcomes guests on board, to the generous terrace on the Upper Deck for socialising and enjoying the pleasure of cruising in the open air. The huge windows which total over seventy square metres of glazed surfaces, also ensure uninterrupted visual continuity between the interior spaces and the surrounding natural environment, which has a metaphorical presence in every setting, from the full-beam Owner Suite and the living space on the main deck to the gracious Skylounge on the upper deck.  The innovative thrust of the Magellano 30 Metri is also expressed in the choices made to reduce environmental impact. The second-generation Dual Mode hull, designed by naval architecture firm P.L.A.N.A. on a joint basis with the Azimut Yachts Research and Desgin centre, ensures an excellent level of stability, keeping fuel consumption down both at midrange speeds and rough seas, delivering on the promise of cruising in freedom in any conditions, as well as at higher speeds, reducing consumption in this case by about 15% compared with traditional hard chine planning hulls.  The new Magellano line flagship establishes a truly harmonious human relationship with the water, even and especially during periods spent at anchor: with the 30 Metri designed to be fitted with the Hotel Mode package, which includes 100kWh lithium batteries so that she can stay at anchor with zero emissions for up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night. The result is total silence broken only by the sound of the sea.

Project: Azimut Grande 36 metri

Azimut was full guns blazing in the fall of 2021 with an order book which goes into 2024, and sales exceeding one billion Euros.  The sales for Azimut are also flowing in the twenty to forty meter segment where itself and its other household Benetti name has been the undisputed leader of sales since someone started pulling out data of yachts sold and constructed.  Following this success and that of the 2021 launched new Grande 38 Metri Trideck flagship, ten units reported being sold up until end of Summer, Azimut unveils the project for two new Grande's, a 26 Metri which PowerYacht reported some weeks ago, and this second large in size 36 Metri. The Azimut Grande 36 Metri comes from a design of Alberto Mancini exterior, and Achille Salvagni for the interior.  Little details are known of the new Grande 36 Metri, the rendering above just like the 26 Metri shows a very full bow, which with the pilot house give it that explorer sturdy look.  The Azimut Grande 36 Metri will also be customisable, with options ranging from the Sundeck version see area on top of the pilot-house, to the Coupe version which will not feature this for a sleeker look.  Other options will be that for an interior with a double lounge saloon, or an interior-exterior dining area on the main deck.
