AZIMUT Grande 30M, unmistakable lifestyle
Azimut Grande 30M designed by Alberto Mancini, who created the exterior lines, and the architecture studio m2atelier for the interiors. This is the first collaboration between the two designers and introduces the concept of “Barefoot Luxury,” developed by m2atelier for Azimut: an approach that reflects the vision of a new generation of owners, attracted to an informal and authentic lifestyle on board.

The extraordinary purity of the lines, crowned by the Rooftop Lounge, here, the new style of the Infinity Skydeck, now completely walkaround, allows the Upper Deck to develop seamlessly from stern to bow, offering guests an unprecedented sense of freedom and a fluid dialogue between indoors and outdoors. The floor-to-ceiling windows disappear completely, transforming the Glass House into a panoramic lounge open on three sides and suspended over the sea. Completing the vision, the Deck2Deck™ terrace opens to expand the cockpit into a raised platform overlooking the sea. Together, these elements create a continuous and multi-level stage where relaxation, entertainment, and life in harmony with the marine world flow naturally into one another.

Azimut Grande 30M encapsulates the most advanced innovation in naval design developed by the Research and Development Department of the Group. It is the only yacht in its segment that combines carbon fiber construction, a wave-piercing bow, and a double-chine hull designed by P. L. Ausonio Naval Architecture: a combination that maximizes lightness while providing exceptional hydrodynamic efficiency.

Azimut Grande 30M, the propulsion
The propulsion is entrusted to a next-generation Rolls-Royce system with MTU engines and POD. This revolutionary solution ensures a 15% increase in efficiency compared to traditional shaft line systems, reducing fuel consumption and $CO_{2}$ emissions while simultaneously improving agility. The benefits extend further: the compact installation frees up space on board, maneuverability is significantly improved, and both noise and vibrations are minimized, allowing the Grande 30M to offer the performance and maneuverability of a much sleeker yacht.

The interiors designed by m2atelier, which bring to life the design language Barefoot Luxury created for Azimut. It is a vision of luxury reinterpreted in an informal and contemporary key, linear and with effortless elegance; a narrative that begins outdoors and flows seamlessly inside, speaking a unique and harmonious language. This aesthetic is based on a carefully balanced palette of materials and textures, refined gestures inspired by industrial design, and solutions that appear simple and relaxing, yet conceal extraordinary sophistication.

The characteristic walls (Feature Walls) of the new project represent the utmost expression of solutions that at first glance appear simple but embody remarkable sophistication. Traditionally, the aft wall of the salon has served as a decorative canvas, enriched with fine materials and adorned with artworks. m2atelier reinvents these surfaces, transforming them into unique expressions: true works of art.
