Azimut will bring 20 models, with 2 being debuts in America: the S7 (shown above) and Grande 27 Metri, both with the sporty aggressive style that Stefano Righini draws so well. The S7 (69′ 11″ LOA, 17′ 5″ beam) has an innovative interior designed by Francesco Guida in his first project for Azimut. He had plenty of space to work with since building the superstructure in lightweight carbon fiber allowed the volume to be pushed to the max without increasing overall weight.
Triple 800-hp Volvo Penta IPS drives offer a 35-knot top speed and joystick-controlled maneuverability. The Grande 27 Metri’s (87′ 10″ LOA, 21′ 7″ beam) elegant interior is by the renowned Achille Salvagni and coined as “the new Italian Renaissance,” offers up to five cabins— with a main deck owner’s suite—and offers the biggest living areas in the category thanks to carbon fiber construction.
