Azimut S8
About this yacht
The Azimut S8 represents a defining moment in performance yacht design—where environmental consciousness meets uncompromising capability. This 24.63-meter sport yacht, in production since 2019, delivers a rare combination of speed, efficiency, and refined comfort that sets her apart in the competitive motor yacht segment. Built with a carbon fiber and fiberglass composite hull and certified to CE(A) standards, the S8 achieves a top speed of 34 knots while maintaining a shallow 1.75-meter draft. Her exterior lines flow from bow to stern with purposeful elegance, the sculptural form appearing wind-drawn rather than merely designed. Long windows and carefully shaped cappings above the bulwarks create clean, elongated volumes that emphasize her sporting character. What distinguishes this powerboat from conventional flybridge designs is her triple pod propulsion system—a configuration that fundamentally transforms both performance and onboard space. This advanced setup reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20 to 30 percent compared to traditional shaft-driven yachts of similar size, while simultaneously allowing for a more compact engine room. The result: an unprecedented layout featuring four guest cabins on a vessel of this length, accommodating up to 16 guests in genuine comfort. Carbon fiber technology extends throughout the upper structures, reducing weight by up to 30 percent in key laminated components while lowering the yacht's center of gravity. This engineering approach delivers expanded interior volumes without compromising the dynamic stability and precise handling expected from a true sport cruiser. Natural roll momentum decreases by up to 15 percent, ensuring smooth passage even in challenging conditions. The main deck embodies a liberated approach to yacht living. By relocating the galley to an intermediate deck, designers created an expansive, light-filled space where interior and exterior lounging areas flow seamlessly together. Whether hosting casual gatherings or formal dining, the uninterrupted connection to the sea defines every moment aboard. Outdoor spaces serve as true sanctuaries for relaxation. Sunbathing and lounging areas are thoughtfully positioned to maximize the sensory experience of being surrounded by water and sky. The double garage accommodates both tender and jet ski—a careful spatial study that optimizes every technical and living area without compromise. Operational sophistication matches the S8's design refinement. Automated interceptors continuously adjust trim across the speed range, maintaining optimal hydrodynamics while compensating for sidewinds or weight distribution. The customized Garmin integrated control system manages everything from engine data and bilge pumps to climate control and entertainment, accessible from either helm station or remotely via tablet. The Joystick system provides intuitive one-handed control, translating directional movements into precise yacht responses—particularly valuable during close-quarters maneuvering. When underway, Joystick Driving mode engages autopilot, allowing brief course corrections with simple twist movements. The Azimut S8 appeals to owners who recognize that progressive thinking and responsible design enhance rather than diminish the pleasure of yachting. Her combination of carbon technology, efficient propulsion, and generous accommodations creates a compelling proposition for those seeking a sport yacht that performs as intelligently as it moves.
