Azimut Unveils Massive “Fun Island”

You can’t say that the people at Azimut, the high-end Italian builder, don’t think big. Indeed, they just unveiled plans for their new 84-foot Seadeck 9 motoryacht with a massive ever-extending beach club aft that even includes a pool.

Azimut Grande 36M: High-Style Winner

The Azimut Grande 36M was introduced to the United States market at the recent Fort Lauderdale show, and it wasted no time in making itself known. Indeed, the sleek 116-foot super yacht was named Best of the Show by a panel of independent judges. For the award, Azimut faced some heavy competition, including the Benetti 4M Oasis, Princess Y95, wallywhy150, and Sunreef 80 Eco, among others. But the Azimut stood out for both its innovative design and its creative hull shape, a coupling that was hard to beat. The new Azimut was launched in Viareggio last August, and it caused…

Sporty Azimut S7 Makes U.S. Debut

Azimut is introducing its sleek, sporty and sophisticated 71-foot S7 to the U.S. market this week at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The upscale Italian yard says the S7, powered by three 800-hp Volvo IPS1050 pod drives, is an eco-sport yacht, since it uses 30 percent less fuel, and produces 30 percent fewer emissions, than a shaft-driven boat of the same size. It has a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots. Azimut has used a lot of carbon fiber in the superstructure and the flybridge of the S7 to reduce weight and lower…

Azimut Introducing New Verve 48 in Cannes

The new Azimut Verve 48, the latest in the Italian builder’s outboard-powered series, will make its global debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival starting Sept. 12. Power for the new 48 comes from three 600-hp Mercury V12 outboards, producing a top speed of 50 knots. Azimut says those engines are 15 per cent more efficient, and 10 decibels quieter, than the four 450-hp Mercury Racing outboards that powered the Verve 47 that was introduced three years ago. Azimut says the 48 has a completely new stern area, with a larger section of the bulwark opening out to merge with a…

Azimut Launching New Magellano 60 Cruiser

Azimut will launch its new Magellano 60, the smallest yacht in the Magellano long-range cruiser series, at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. The new 60 joins the 66, 25M and 30M yachts in the Magellano lineup, and it carries all the DNA that has made the larger yachts so appealing in the cruising community.

The Magellano 60  was designed in collaboration with Ken Freivokh, the UK superyacht designer, and it has…

New Azimut 50: Entry-Level Flybridge

The new Azimut 50 Fly, the entry-level yacht in the Italian builder’s flybridge series, is a family-friendly cruiser with lots of light, style and social areas inside and out.

Azimut Magellano 30M: Luxurious Light-Filled Cruiser

The flagship of Azimut’s Magellano fleet, the sophisticated new 30M is designed as a comfortable and luxurious long-range cruiser. The Magellano line was started back in 2007 by Azimut founder Paolo Vitelli, who wanted a boat that had the range of a traditional displacement trawler but with more speed and, of course, some Italian design flair. The line now includes the 60-foot-long Magellano 60 and the 82-foot long Magellano 25M. The new 30M has what the company calls a second generation Dual Mode hull that provides an easy ride at both displacement and planing speeds. It tops out at 20…
