Luxury Yacht Azimut's Latest Model Showcases an Upper Deck Infinity Pool
In the world of luxury yachting, the Azimut Grande 30M has made a splash as a 29.1-meter vessel that seamlessly blends advanced design, innovative technology, and a lifestyle-focused interior concept. Launched in 2025, this new addition to Azimut's Grande series is the result of a collaboration between renowned designer Alberto Mancini and the Milan-based architecture studio m2atelier.
Design and Features
Exterior
The exterior lines, a masterpiece by Alberto Mancini, exude sleek, modern styling. A standout feature is the "Deck2Deck Terrace," a convertible aft deck and garage with a teak-covered hatch that can elevate to create an extended lounging balcony. Extensive use of carbon fiber in the hull and superstructure reduces weight, aiding performance and lowering emissions, earning the yacht the nickname "Floating Glass House" due to its expansive glazing.
Interior
Inside, the yacht is designed under the "Barefoot Luxury" philosophy by m2atelier, focusing on comfort, natural materials, and a casual yet refined atmosphere. Interiors flow with natural light through full-height windows and transparent elements like floating stair treads. Wood and other organic finishes dominate, creating warmth and a connection to nature.
Technological Advancements
The Grande 30M is the first yacht to feature the new mtu propulsion system from Rolls-Royce, incorporating mtu engines paired with ZF pod drives. This podded propulsion system improves efficiency by about 15% compared to traditional shaft line systems, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Combined with carbon fiber construction and a new hull design, this leads to an overall emissions reduction of up to 30% compared to conventional yachts of similar size. The yacht achieves a top speed around 25 to 29 knots and offers a cruising range of about 350 nautical miles.
