The first yacht to combine Alberto Mancini’s vision for the exterior with m2atelier’s design for the interior, debuting at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival.
At Azimut’s historic Viareggio shipyard, the first unit of the Grande 30M, the new model in the Grande Series, was launched. It was a moment of great significance, celebrated together with all the craftsmen and professionals who contributed with passion and dedication to the project.
The Grande 30M bears the signature of Alberto Mancini, who designed the exterior lines, and the architecture studio m2atelier for the interiors. This marks the first collaboration between the two designers and introduces the Barefoot Luxury concept, developed by m2atelier for Azimut: an approach that reflects the vision of a new generation of owners, drawn to an informal and authentic lifestyle on board.
With the new Grande 30M, Azimut introduces major technological innovations. It is the first yacht to feature the new mtu propulsion system from Rolls-Royce equipped with mtu engines and POD solutions, which delivers a 15% increase in efficiency compared to traditional shaft line systems, thereby reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions.
The Grande 30M is now preparing for its world debut at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival, where she will be officially presented to the international public.
