Azimut Yachts is introducing three models for their world debut at the Cannes Boat Show scheduled for September 9-14. These include the new Grande 95RPH, Azimut 77S (pictured), and Azimut 50 Fly.
The Italian boatbuilder says these three luxury motor yachts represent its winning combination of Italian style, innovation, and sportiness. They range from a superyacht to a sportsyacht through to a really nice owner/driver flybridge motoryacht.
The Azimut Grande 95RPH is not only new, it is also the first Grande Collection model to be released since joining the Azimut Yachts family alongside the Atlantis, Magellano, Flybridge, and S Series.
The product of a longstanding partnership with designer Stefano Righini (concept and exterior design) and Studio Salvagni Architetti (interior layout), the 95RPH stands out for its truly unique style, says Azimut.
New features on board this 29-metre vessel include the raised pilothouse (which gives the boat its name), the spacious 60sq m-plus flybridge, and a special layout that provides for four VIP cabins in addition to the boat-owner suite.
The new Azimut 77s is the jewel in the S Collection. It has elegant exterior lines and precious detailing in finishes and furnishings. Four units have already been sold in the pre-launch phase, declaring the boat a success and a new benchmark for sportsboats.
Beyond its wave-piercing vertical bow and steel shield, this 23-metre boat features a pivoting stern platform for maximum flexibility, large one-piece deckhouse window, roof with glass insert, and excellent performance and fuel efficiency thanks to three Volvo Penta engines with IPS transmission.
The newcomer Azimut 50 Fly is fresh from its June launch. The 15-metre model in the Flybridge Collection is said to be an impressive vessel with stylish features (mirrored deckhouse windows also in the fly, ample space in the bow, and the classic vertical windows in the hull) that take inspiration from another Azimut Yachts best seller: the Azimut 80.
While priority goes to the exterior spaces (the 17.5-metre flybridge is one of the largest in its class) the interiors by Carlo Galeazzi are also designed for chilling out: the saloon includes a dining area and dedicated relaxation zone. The boatowner suite is amidships at full beam; the VIP cabin is in the bow; and there is also a third cabin for guests with two Pullman beds.
With stylistic lines and innovative technologies, the new Azimut boats at the Cannes Boat Show 2014 highlight the Avigliana boatyard's commitment to creating Italian manufacturing excellence and upholding "Made in Italy" virtues.
