The first unit of the new Grande 30M was launched at the Azimui|Benetti Group shipyard in Viareggio. The ceremony was celebrated together with all the craftsmen and professionals who contributed to the project with passion and dedication. The Grande 30M marks a milestone for the Italian manufacturer, as it not only introduces a new design concept, but also utilises state-of-the-art propulsion technology. This significantly reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. Azimuth Fly 62
Two major studios work together
The Grande 30M bears the signature of Alberto Manciniwho is responsible for the design of the exterior lines, while the m2atelier studio has designed the interiors. This collaboration represents the first co-operation between the two designers and introduces the concept of "Barefoot Luxury" developed by m2atelier for Azimut. This approach reflects the vision of a new generation of owners who like a casual and authentic lifestyle on board.
Azimuth and technological innovation
The Grande 30M is the first azimuth to be equipped with the new MTU propulsion system from Rolls-Royce. This combines mtu engines and PODs - and offers 15 per cent greater efficiency compared to conventional shaft systems. This significantly reduces fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions. The introduction of this technology emphasises Azimut's commitment to more sustainable yacht concepts and demonstrates more environmentally conscious yachting without compromising on performance and comfort.
World premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025
Following the successful launch, the Grande 30M is now preparing for its world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2025. The yacht show (9 to 14 Sept.) is considered one of the most important platforms for luxury yachts.
