Azimut Yachts are renowned for their flawless Italian design and new technologically advanced solutions, and the Grande 26 Metri continues this tradition. This yacht features advanced technology, impressive performance, and exceptional fuel efficiency. Let's delve into the details.
Designed by Alberto Mancini, the yacht's exterior is sleek and light, featuring extensive glasswork. Mancini collaborated closely with Azimut to achieve this design. The interior, crafted by Achille Salvagni, is equally impressive. Despite its 26-meter length, the yacht offers a spacious master cabin on the main deck and four guest cabins on the deck below. The crew quarters, located at the bow and directly accessible from the galley, along with a partially raised helm station, ensure ample privacy.
Key highlights of the Grande 26 Metri include the ability to carry two water toys simultaneously – one in the garage and another on the swimming platform. The innovative Deck2Deck feature with a rising transom is a standout, revolutionizing cockpit space utilization. This design allows for the expansion of the aft part of the main deck, creating a large, unified area ideal for parties or socializing with friends. This feature is particularly popular among those who enjoy spending time in the cockpit, viewing it as more than just an entrance to the saloon.
For propulsion, the yacht utilizes the new ZF POD system, paired with MAN engines. This combination offers increased maneuverability, more space, reduced noise and vibration, and maximized fuel efficiency – achieving up to 15% savings compared to a traditional shaft line system.
