The Seadeck 6 introduces an innovative system that allows for zero-emission anchoring and navigation with the generator switched off, powering the yacht’s main onboard utilities while further reducing fuel consumption. This system, known as the Mild Hybrid Zero Emission Hotel Mode, relies on the combined presence of a 42 kWh lithium battery pack and an additional alternator connected to one of the three engines. Zero-emission autonomy at anchor can reach up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night, depending on weather conditions. While underway, 220V utilities such as the Seakeeper stabilizer and air conditioning can operate for up to eight hours even with the generator off.

The collaboration between NAMES and Azimut’s R&D Department pushes the forefront of innovation, designing customized hulls for each Series with sector’s most sophisticated methodology. In comparison with standard planing hulls optimized for POD propulsion, the hull of the Seadeck 6 is wider at the stern and more streamlined at the bow, allowing it to begin hydroplaning and therefore reducing drag at lower speeds. This advanced solution broadens the speed range at which the Seadeck 6 can navigate at peak efficiency.

Azimut’s pioneering use of carbon fiber extends beyond pure performance. For the first time ever, up to 40% of the Seadeck 6’s surface is laminated with carbon fiber, which lightens those parts by up to 30%, allowing for an unparalleled optimization of consumption and CO2 emissions.

The Seadeck 6 can be equipped with 10 square meters solar panels* installed on the deckhouse, resulting in a total power of 1410Wp. The energy generated by the solar panels contributes to charging the battery pack, lowering CO2 emissions even further.

Azimut extends its pursuit and implementation of more sustainable solutions to materials, introducing alternatives that are natural, recycled, or recyclable, selected also for the performance advantages they offer. The Seadeck 6 introduces cork on board for the first time, used for exterior decking as a replacement for traditional teak. Cork is a 100% natural material that can be harvested repeatedly without damaging the tree, and it offers additional benefits—being up to 40% lighter than teak and highly resistant to heat and water.

For the first time, Azimut has committed to using PET to replace PVC, reducing the amount of new plastic needed. PET, a recycled material that comes from plastic bottles, makes up 30% of the total structure of Seadeck yachts. It is infused into all the bulkheads, floors and 75% of the inner deck equivalent to 15,000 plastic bottles recycled for each boat produced.

Persistent investment in the research and implementation of advanced technologies and sustainable materials has allowed the Seadeck Series to be the shipyard’s first to obtain the RINA GREEN PLUS PLATINUM class certification for its environmental performance, even in its standard configuration.
