Azimut Grande 27M
About this yacht
The Azimut Grande 27M represents a pivotal achievement in modern yacht design—a 26.78-meter flybridge motor yacht that rewrites the conventions of its class. Launched in 2017, this planing powerboat earned recognition at the World Yacht Trophies for its groundbreaking approach to space, structure, and style. What sets the Grande 27M apart is its raised pilothouse configuration, a rarity in this size range that fundamentally transforms the onboard experience. This architectural choice creates room for a full-beam master suite on the main deck, positioned forward with floor-to-ceiling windows that dissolve the boundary between interior comfort and the seascape beyond. A private walk-in wardrobe completes this owner's retreat, while the lower deck accommodates three to four additional guest cabins depending on layout preference. The collaboration between Stefano Righini and Achille Salvagni produced a yacht with aggressive, athletic lines softened by elegant proportions. Expansive glazing floods the interior with natural light, while the material palette—teak, mahogany, oak, and Carrara marble—anchors the design in tactile luxury. Inside, the philosophy is one of fluid composition: surfaces detach from walls to become sculptural elements, soft curves replace hard angles, and organic geometries create spaces that feel both welcoming and refined. Carbon fiber construction defines the Grande 27M's technical foundation. Azimut's Carbon-Tech Generation technology reduces weight in the superstructure by up to thirty percent, lowering the center of gravity and decreasing roll momentum by fifteen percent. The result is expanded interior volume without compromising stability or handling. The carbon hull carries CE (A) certification for open ocean passages and delivers a top speed of 28 knots with a draft of just 1.93 meters. The outdoor spaces embrace multiple modes of living. The flybridge offers the yacht's largest flush deck for entertaining under open sky, while a forward lounge and shaded aft terrace provide alternative settings. The innovative Pivoting Platform Expander transforms the transom in beach mode, extending usable space at the waterline and simplifying tender launches with a rotating mechanism. Performance systems include Humphree automatic interceptors that optimize hull resistance across speed and load conditions, reducing fuel consumption while improving planing efficiency. Stabilis Electra stabilizing fins and Dualis Electra thrusters deliver precise, quiet motion control with minimal energy draw. The helm integrates all yacht functions through Simrad Command displays, consolidating engine data, generator control, trim management, lighting, climate, and navigation tools in a single interface. Azimut positions the Grande 27M as the world's only 27-meter yacht combining a raised pilothouse, five cabins, and a wide-body hull. It also claims distinction as the largest yacht globally built using open construction methods—fully outfitted with furniture and systems before the superstructure is installed on the hull. With accommodations for up to sixteen guests and a design that balances spirited performance with refined comfort, the Azimut Grande 27M delivers a compelling proposition for those seeking a flybridge cruiser that operates beyond conventional limits.
