New Azimut Grande 30m
Engineering Innovation Meets Mediterranean Luxury
When Azimut Yachts unveiled the Grande 30M at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, it represented more than just another model launch. This 30-meter flagship showcases how genuine technical innovation can transform the superyacht experience, combining groundbreaking engineering with the Italian craftsmanship that has defined Azimut for over 50 years.
Having attended the Cannes debut, we at Pier Zero Yachts witnessed firsthand why the Grande 30M is generating such excitement in the superyacht world. This isn’t incremental improvement – it’s a fundamental rethinking of what’s possible at 30 meters.
The Deck2Deck™ System at Scale
The Grande 30M is the largest yacht to feature Azimut’s revolutionary Deck2Deck™ system, and at this scale, the impact is transformative. This patented engineering solution allows the aft section to reconfigure dramatically – the transom lifts hydraulically to align flush with the cockpit, creating an enormous open-air terrace.
On a 30-metre yacht, this isn’t just a clever feature – it fundamentally changes how you experience the vessel. The extra height of the transom creates a cockpit that might otherwise only be found on a 50-metre yacht.
The system operates seamlessly, transforming the space in under a minute. When deployed it opens the door for multiple seating configurations, and the kind of indoor-outdoor flow that defines modern luxury yachting.
The Infinity Deck Revolution
Complementing the Deck2Deck system is Azimut’s Infinity Deck – another innovation that blurs the line between yacht and sea. The side bulwarks of the upperdeck flow downwards to create an uninterrupted visual connection with the water, expanding the perceived width and length of the main deck dramatically. The other aspect of the Infinity Deck is the flat, completely uninterrupted teak deck extending from bow to stern, creating a feeling of space and an ease of movement essential to the barefoot luxury of the Azimut Grande range.
Standing on the Grande 30M upperdeck feels less like being on a boat and more like occupying a floating villa. The 7.3-meter beam is already substantial, but the Infinity Deck makes it feel even more expansive. For entertaining or simply sunsets at anchor, this configuration is unmatched in the 30-meter segment.
Outdoor Living Redefined
Azimut has always excelled at creating usable outdoor space, and the Grande 30M takes this to new levels. The upper deck features a generous sunlounge area designed for serious relaxation – not the token sunpads you see on some yachts, but a proper lounging space with panoramic views.
The foredeck, however, is where the Grande 30M truly distinguishes itself. This isn’t just open bow space – it’s a fully realized outdoor living area featuring a Jacuzzi and multiple seating zones. Protected yet open, private yet sociable, this forward area becomes a favorite spot for guests to gather away from the main entertainment areas.
The intelligent layout means you can have different groups enjoying different spaces without feeling crowded – crucial for extended cruising or charter operations.
Low Emission Yacht Technology
Beyond the visible innovations, the Grande 30M incorporates Azimut’s Low Emission Yacht technology – a comprehensive approach to reducing environmental impact without compromising performance. The result is a 30% reduction in both fuel consumption and emissions compared to conventional yachts of similar size.
This isn’t greenwashing or minor tweaks. Azimut has redesigned the hull, optimized the propulsion system, and integrated advanced energy management throughout the vessel. For owners planning extensive Mediterranean cruising, this translates to meaningful savings in operational costs and a significantly reduced environmental footprint.
The Low Emission Yacht family represents Azimut’s response to changing expectations in the superyacht market. Today’s sophisticated owners want performance and luxury, but not at any environmental cost. The Grande 30M proves you can have both.
Design Excellence: m2Atelier and Barefoot Luxury
The Grande 30M’s interior design comes from acclaimed Italian design studio m2atelier, whose work bridges contemporary aesthetics with timeless elegance. Their approach emphasizes natural materials, sophisticated color palettes, and spatial harmony – creating interiors that feel both luxurious and livable.
The main saloon showcases m2atelier’s talent for proportion and light. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural illumination, while carefully chosen materials and finishes create warmth without heaviness. The result is an interior that works equally well for entertaining or casual family living. Emphasising what is being called barefoot luxury, effortless elegance which comes from luxury design without ostentation.
Accommodation is configured for up to 10 guests across five cabins, including a full-beam master suite on the main deck – a layout that’s increasingly expected at this level. The owner’s cabin offers genuine privacy and space, with direct access to the main deck and large en-suite facilities.
The Pier Zero Yachts Perspective
As authorized Azimut dealers who have historically specializing in yachts over 24 meters, the Grande 30M represents exactly the kind of vessel we’re passionate about. This is a yacht that demonstrates what’s possible when the kind of engineering resources only Azimut|Bennetti group have meet genuine design talent and decades of yacht-building experience.
We attended the Cannes debut and were extremely impressed with both the design and the level of finishing. It truly feels like the 30M Grande is ushering in a new era of superyachts.
