Azimut at Palm Beach 2026: Five Lines, One Statement — Design, Hybrid Tech and Superyacht Volume

At the Palm Beach International Boat Show (25–29 March 2026) Azimut Yachts returned with a disciplined, wide‑ranging display that distilled the marque’s current priorities: architectural volume, sea‑facing living spaces, hybrid propulsion and high‑performance owner‑operator models. The company’s stand spanned five distinct product families—Grande, Seadeck, Fly, Verve and Magellano—ranging from roughly 50 feet to more than 100 feet and demonstrating how a single builder can address divergent yachting lifestyles.

Grande 32M — superyacht thinking in a compact package

The Grande 32M represents Azimut’s interpretation of a small superyacht, marrying large internal volumes with a contemporary architectural language. Semi‑custom in GRP and carbon fibre, the 32M emphasises light through full‑height glazing and wide living areas while retaining performance credentials.

• LOA: 105 ft (32 m); beam: 23 ft 11 in (7.3 m); 212 GT
• Power: 2 × MTU 16V 2000 M86 (≈2,186 hp each); top/croisi ng: 27 kn / 21 kn; range ≈1,000 nm at 12 kn
• Accommodation: five en‑suite cabins for ten guests; three crew cabins for five crew
• Notable features: side garage for tender/jet ski, two beach‑club areas, 70 m² fly deck and expansive salon glazing
• Market note: a four‑year‑old example was listed from €8.8 million (new builds command a premium)

Seadeck 6 — hybrid, lightness and the ‘Fun Island’

Azimut’s Seadeck series is its clearest statement on sustainability and a more elemental relationship with the sea. The Seadeck 6 is the smallest model in the line and foregrounds hybrid propulsion, lightweight construction and open, beach‑club living.

• LOA: 17.5 m (57 ft 5 in); beam: 5.05 m; displacement: 27.6 t
• Propulsion: triple Volvo Penta IPS (options: IPS 500 or IPS 650), hybrid hotel‑mode for quiet operation
• Performance: up to 33 kn (sea trial: 31.5 kn); cruise up to 24 kn
• Construction: carbon‑fibre and GRP with about 40% carbon in the superstructure; reported weight reduction of 27 t
• Design highlights: the fold‑out ‘Fun Island’ stern, extensive glazing and a coupé‑style silhouette; an independent review cites emissions reductions of up to 40% and quiet cruising near 60 dB

Fly 62 — a lean flybridge with a beach cockpit

The Fly 62 evolves Azimut’s flybridge tradition toward sleeker profiles and greater usable outdoor space. Exterior lines by Alberto Mancini and interiors by Fabio Fantolino prioritise daylight and flexible social areas.

• LOA: 63 ft 8 in (19.22 m); beam: 5.09 m
• Power: 2 × Volvo Penta IPS1200 (900 hp each); top speed around 32 kn; draft ≈1.05 m
• Layout: three guest cabins plus crew cabin; distinctive beach cockpit with a transom that transforms the aft sofa into a sun pad

Verve 48 — outboard performance for owner‑operators

The Verve line targets owner‑operators who prioritise speed and agility. The Verve 48 pairs a lightweight carbon/GRP structure and a ventilated deep‑V hull with three outboards to deliver genuine planing performance.

• LOA: 15.03 m (49 ft 4 in); beam: 4.1 m; displacement: 17.8 t
• Power: 3 × 600 hp outboards (1,800 hp total); top speed ≈50 kn; cruise ≈37 kn; range ≈230 nm at 37 kn
• Accommodation and onboard life: two cabins for 4–6 guests, convertible cockpit between sun‑lounger and dining arrangements, wet bar and fold‑down platforms for water access

Magellano 30M — long‑range comfort and the Dual Mode hull

For extended passages the Magellano 30M showcases Azimut’s Dual Mode hull, engineered for efficiency across varied speeds. The 30M trades top‑end velocity for range, stability and onboard amenity that suit long cruises.

• LOA: 29.7 m (97 ft 5 in); beam: 7.06 m; displacement: 136 t
• Propulsion: 2 × MAN V12 (options of ≈1,550 hp or 1,900 hp each); top/cruise speed 20–24 kn / 16–18 kn; range ≈500 nm at 19 kn
• Accommodation: five guest cabins for ten guests; crew three cabins for five crew; substantial glazed areas (over 70 m²) and a panoramic skylounge
• Options: large garage, capacious flybridge and an aft infinity terrace with jacuzzi
• Market note: indicative pricing for the type starts around €9.1 million according to listings

Why this matters — industry context

Azimut’s Palm Beach line‑up is instructive for several reasons. First, it illustrates how contemporary motor‑yacht design is balancing two pressures: a demand for greater onboard volume, daylight and seamless indoor‑outdoor living, and a parallel drive toward lower emissions and quieter operation. The Seadeck 6 shows that hybrid systems and lightweight carbon components are now credible in models intended for family cruising rather than only experimental or one‑off builds.

Second, the breadth of Azimut’s offering—from a 50‑knot sport weekender to near‑100m‑equivalent superyacht volume—reinforces a market expectation that single brands will provide coherent choices across lifestyles. Finally, the inclusion of transparent pricing signals from brokerage listings helps prospective buyers and brokers calibrate value across segments: Grande‑ and Magellano‑scale yachts command multi‑million euro entry points even for relatively recent examples.

Key highlights

• Five distinct Azimut personalities at PBIBS 2026: Grande, Seadeck, Fly, Verve and Magellano.
• Seadeck 6 positions hybrid propulsion and lightweight carbon construction in a beach‑club, open‑plan context.
• The Grande 32M brings superyacht volume and full‑height glazing to a 32‑metre semi‑custom platform.
• Verve 48 speaks to owner‑operators who prize outboard speed and cockpit versatility; reported top speed ~50 kn.
• Magellano 30M emphasises long‑range cruising with the Dual Mode hull and large glazed living areas.

At Palm Beach Azimut presented less of a scattergun catalogue and more of an orchestrated statement: the brand is refining form languages across scales while folding sustainability and hybrid technology into product lines that remain recognisably Italian in proportion and finish. For buyers and brokers, the takeaway is clear—Azimut is advancing both performance and comfort without fragmenting its design identity.
