AZIMUT CELEBRATED WITH ACCLAIM AND AWARDS IN CHINA

Seadeck 6: Best of the Best Award 2024 by Robb Report China

The Seadeck 6 has been recognized as a benchmark in sustainable innovation and design research, with Robb Report China awarding her the Best of the Best Award 2024.

As in the Editor’s words, she is “a testament to Azimut’s strong commitment to sustainable yachting, achieving significant reductions in energy consumption and carbon footprint through her lightweight carbon fiber structure and streamlined hull design. Its groundbreaking “Fun Island” aft deck seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing guests to connect closely with the sea. The use of sustainable materials in the interior, such as cork, highlights a deep consideration for environmental preservation. With its mild hybrid system, the yacht minimizes emissions both at anchor and during navigation, marking a new milestone in the green revolution of yachting. The Seadeck 6 is not merely a yacht; she is Azimut’s vision for the future of ocean living and a profound expression of the philosophy of harmonious coexistence”.

The project was developed by Azimut together with Alberto Mancini, who designed the exterior lines and the new Fun Island concept that reinvents the cockpit embracing the sea, and Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez, who curated the interior design. Thanks to the combination of different innovations – from weight reduction and an efficient latest generation hull to forerunner solutions coming from the electrification technology – the Seadeck 6 allows CO2 emissions to be reduced by up to 40% over an average year of use compared to similar-size yachts. The Seadeck 6 introduces the debut of an innovative system that allows both zero-emissions at anchor and cruising with the generator off, further lowering on-board consumption. This system, called Mild Hybrid Zero Emission Hotel Mode, is based on a 42-kWh lithium battery pack and an alternator connected to one of the three engines. Even more important to the guest experience, the Seadeck 6 substitutes typical materials for sustainably sourced alternatives of either natural or recycled origins wherever possible, such as cork decking and moquettes made of repurposed raw materials (R-PET).
