Azimut has officially launched the first unit of its Grande 30M series at its historic Viareggio shipyard, marking a major milestone in the brand’s move toward sustainability and innovation.
Bridging the gap between the Grande 26M and 36M, this 30-metre model will make its public debut at the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, nearly a year after its announcement by head of product design Federico Lantero at the 2024 edition.
A New Era of Propulsion
The yacht is the first Azimut model to feature the advanced mtu propulsion system by Rolls-Royce, which delivers:
- 15% higher efficiency than traditional systems
- Reduced fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions, in line with Azimut’s “Low Emission Yachts” promise (20–30% reductions)
Paired with a carbon-fibre construction and a new POD propulsion system, the Grande 30M stands out as one of the most eco-conscious and technologically advanced yachts in its class.
Design & Layout
- Exteriors: Designed by longtime Azimut collaborator Alberto Mancini
- Interiors: Created by m2atelier, marking the first collaboration between the shipyard and the Milanese design studio
The interior design is modern and minimalist, using neutral tones, light woods, and grey accents. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and a glass-panelled staircase offer an airy, naturally lit ambiance throughout.
Next-Level Outdoor Living
The yacht debuts an evolved Infinity Skydeck concept:
- Fully walk-around upper deck (no longer semi walk-around)
- Disappearing windows create a seamless connection between aft lounge and forward infinity pool
- Deck2Deck Terrace: A patented feature turning the garage hatch into a sea-view platform, extending the cockpit area right over the water
With this launch, Azimut continues to lead in design, comfort, and sustainable innovation. The Grande 30M is expected to generate significant buzz when it appears at Cannes Yachting Festival 2025.
