BETWEEN SKY AND SEA
The outdoor spaces are oases of relaxation, with sunbathing and lounging arrangements designed to enhance the all-encompassing experience of the sea.
TOY STORAGE FOR ALL-DAY PLAY
To offer a double garage that can accommodate both the tender and a jet ski, it was necessary to undertake a careful study of the use of space, optimizing each of the technical and living areas with an obsession to detail.
A LIBERATED WAY OF LIFE
A careful attention to the use of space on board led the designers to separate the galley on an intermediate deck, freeing up the bright main deck to expand the guest living and dining arrangements.
CONFIGURED FOR COMFORT
Guests are surprised by the unprecedented layout, which offers four comfortable cabins. It’s possible through the advanced triple pod propulsion system, which comes with a more compact engine room.
OUR ADVANCED TOOLKIT
TRIPLE POD PROPULSION COMBINED WITH CARBON FIBER
The adoption of triple Pod propulsion, combined with the optimization of the water lines and the extensive use of carbon fiber, reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 to 30%* in the main speed range.
*compared to vessels of the same weight and size with a traditional hard-chine hull and shaft line propulsion.
Azimut’s pioneering use of carbon fiber lamination goes beyond pure performance. The Carbon Tech Generation offers expanded volumes onboard, while maintaining excellent dynamic stability and perfect handling. Preserving the yacht’s low center of gravity, the carbon fiber was focused on the upper parts of the yacht, lightening the laminated components by up to 30% and reducing the natural roll momentum up to 15%.
Automated interceptors optimize the trim at every speed to maintain ideal hydrodynamics for performance and efficiency, at the same time negating any lateral imbalance due to sidewinds or weight distribution. With the pilot’s peace of mind assured, the driving experience is simpler and more enjoyable.
The integrated control system by Garmin has been customised to increase control potential: from engine data and alarms, to bilge and water discharge pumps, tank levels and engine room ventilation, right through to the sound system and the air conditioning units. The system can be accessed from both helm stations and remotely from a tablet.
The Joystick acts as an analog for the yacht, offering intuitive, one-handed control in every situation. When the yacht is stopped, moving the Joystick forward or back, side to side, and twisting clockwise or counter-clockwise activates the engines to mimic that motion. It’s the easiest way to pull off precise maneuvers.
When Joystick Driving is activated, the autopilot is immediately engaged. For easy course correction, the driver may briefly twist the Joystick for 1 degree in that direction or twist and hold for 10 degrees. The Autopilot keeps a forward course after the Joystick is released.
This yacht’s design and engineering meet the highest standards for production recreational vessels. Azimut Yachts issues a declaration of the premium materials, advanced technology and rigorous testing procedures.
