Azimut Models 2026: Every Range at a Glance

The Azimut models for the 2026 model year reveal the direction in which one of Italy’s most significant motor yacht shipyards is heading: a consistent pursuit of efficiency, spatial design and visual clarity. Those who know the ranges will recognise a carefully considered product architecture that spans from compact open concepts to fully equipped long-range motor yachts.

Azimut Models: What Sets the 2026 Ranges Apart

The Azimut models are produced in Avigliana, in Piedmont to the west of Turin, where the shipyard has maintained its production base for decades. Behind the portfolio lies a philosophy that unites design consistency with nautical functionality. The result is a programme that covers a wide variety of usage profiles without losing the thread of the brand’s identity.

Each range has its own character, its own target audience and its own logic in operation. Anyone comparing the Azimut ranges without prior knowledge will initially see yachts with a similar design language. Look more closely, however, and fundamentally different concepts emerge: the distribution of space, propulsion strategy, range philosophy and usage profile clearly distinguish one line from another.

As the authorised dealer for the DACH region and Croatia, we at Yachtwerk guide purchasing decisions from the very first enquiry through to handover. The overview below is based on our daily experience advising clients who bring different cruising grounds, crew arrangements and usage profiles to the table. A full Azimut models overview with current specification details is available directly on our models page.

Azimut Seadeck: The Open Concept with Hybrid Option

The Seadeck range is the most recent conceptual development in the Azimut programme. It breaks with the traditional separation between cockpit, saloon and flybridge by creating a continuous, level deck space throughout. The result is an area that feels like a large outdoor living room, without sacrificing protection from wind and weather.

What sets the Seadeck models apart technically is the availability of hybrid propulsion. This makes the range the only one in the Azimut programme to offer electrically assisted operation as standard. This is not a marketing promise – it delivers genuine everyday value: silent manoeuvring in harbour, reduced emissions in environmental protection zones and noticeably quieter operation on short passages.

The Seadeck line currently encompasses several size classes. The Azimut Seadeck 6 is the most compact entry point into this concept, while the Azimut Seadeck 9 offers considerably more space and depth of equipment. All Seadeck models share the same underlying principle: maximum deck area, minimal dividing walls and clear sightlines.

Who Is the Seadeck Range Suited To?

The Seadeck models appeal to owners who enjoy a sociable life on board: large numbers of guests, shared meals on deck and a seamless transition between inside and out. Those who regularly undertake longer passages without a large crew will quickly come to appreciate the quiet engine note of the hybrid variant in everyday use.

They are particularly well suited to Mediterranean use, where short day trips, anchorages and marina stays set the rhythm. In cruising grounds with emissions regulations – such as certain protected zones along the Croatian coast – the hybrid drive is a practical advantage, not merely a symbolic one.

Azimut Fly: Classic Flybridge Architecture

The Azimut Fly range is the cornerstone of the programme and the line that most clients first associate with the Azimut name. Flybridge yachts offer a dual-level experience: a fully enclosed saloon with galley and cabins below, and an open flybridge above as a second living area with its own helm station. This principle is well established, yet Azimut continues to refine it with each generation.

The current model programme here spans from comparatively compact examples such as the Azimut Fly 53 to considerably larger versions such as the Azimut Fly 82. Between these two extremes, Azimut offers a closely spaced model sequence from which a suitable yacht can be found for almost any budget segment and usage profile. The Azimut Fly 68 is one of the most sought-after size classes in our market.

For the design of the Fly range, Azimut has collaborated for many years with Studio Stefano Lacasa, which is responsible for the interior, while the exterior styling is developed by various design studios – including Azimut’s own in-house team. The interior follows a warm, material-led aesthetic that achieves elegance without excess.

Which Fly Models Are Particularly Relevant in 2026?

The models in the mid-range of the Fly line are those we most frequently discuss first in consultations. The Azimut Fly 72 and the Azimut Fly 78 cover a size segment that suits families with crew support, or experienced couples who occasionally bring guests along, particularly well. The number of cabins, the flybridge area and the engine options differ from model to model, which is why we always recommend clarifying the precise details in a personal conversation.

Azimut Grande: The Flagship Segment

The Azimut Grande range represents the upper echelon of the Azimut programme. Here, yachts are built that belong to an entirely different league in terms of scale, depth of equipment and spatial concept. The Grande line begins where classic flybridge concepts reach their natural limits and develops entirely independent solutions from that point.

Particularly noteworthy is the Azimut Grande Trideck: a yacht with three full deck levels, enabling a distribution of space more commonly associated with considerably larger superyachts. The master suite, guest cabins, crew quarters and communal saloons are kept strictly separate from one another, without the overall impression of the vessel feeling cramped.

The Azimut Grande 26M and the Azimut Grande 30M complement the line, each offering different emphases in range, crew capacity and exterior design. All Grande models are configured in close collaboration with the client, as at this level there are no truly standardised deliveries.

What Distinguishes the Grande from Other Azimut Ranges?

The most striking difference is the hierarchy of space. Within the Grande line, there is a clear separation between the owner’s and guests‘ areas on one side and the crew quarters on the other. This is not merely a comfort feature but an operational necessity on yachts sailed with a professional crew. Service routes, separate access points and acoustically insulated zones are designed into the structure from the outset, not added as an afterthought.

In the Grande segment, Azimut also makes increasing use of materials and craftsmanship techniques developed in conjunction with other luxury brands within the group. Leathers, timber species and surface finishes are tailored to the client’s wishes, which extends the configuration timeline accordingly compared with shorter ranges. Anyone ordering a Grande model today should realistically plan for a delivery period of several months to over a year.

Azimut Magellano: Long-Range Cruising with Substance

The Azimut Magellano range pursues a different philosophy from the other lines: here, range takes precedence over speed, and efficiency over showmanship. The trawler-inspired hull, the elevated wheelhouse and a hull form optimised for seakeeping in open water make the Magellano a serious long-range motor yacht.

The Azimut Magellano 25M and the Azimut Magellano 27M are the current representatives of this line. Both are characterised by particularly generous fuel capacity, a composed ride at moderate cruising speeds and an interior architecture designed for extended time aboard. This translates into spacious heads, ample stowage, well-planned galleys and acoustics that remain unobtrusive even on long passages.

The Magellano models are chosen by clients who cruise the Mediterranean end to end, cross the Atlantic or simply want a yacht that is safe and comfortable in less than ideal conditions. It is a range for owners who actively sail their yacht rather than simply lie at anchor.

Is the Magellano Also Suitable for Mediterranean Cruising?

Yes, without reservation. The Magellano is not tied to any particular ocean. Many of our clients use the range in exactly the same waters as other Fly models – along the Croatian coast, in the Adriatic or along the Turkish riviera. The difference lies in the style of sailing: less sprinting, more consistency, lower fuel consumption over long passages. Particularly in Croatia, where we are able to offer excellent infrastructure through the Marina Mandalina in Šibenik, the Magellano is a frequent choice for owners planning extended seasons.

Azimut S: Sporting Lines Without Compromise

The S range is the most sporting expression of the Azimut programme. Deep window bands, more aggressive hull lines and a layout optimised for higher cruising speeds define this line. The Azimut S7 and the Azimut S8 are the currently available representatives.

Sporting intent does not mean austerity at Azimut. Even within the S range, high-quality materials, careful interior design and well-considered cabin configurations are offered as standard. The difference lies in the driving experience: the S models are made for owners who regard the journey itself – the acceleration from rest, the precision of steering at higher speeds – as an essential part of the ownership experience.

The S range is particularly well suited to cruising grounds where weather and sea conditions call for an agile vessel, or for owners who have come from other performance motorboats and are unwilling to compromise on dynamics when moving to an Azimut. Those who wish to discover the range can do so at our showroom at Motorworld Grünwald near Munich, or by arranging a sea trial directly.

Purchase, Financing and Delivery of Azimut Models

Buying an Azimut is not a standard transaction. Every yacht is configured to a degree – whether that is the choice of engine, interior upholstery, electronics package or hull colour. As an authorised dealer, we manage this process from the initial consultation through to the technical handover at the shipyard in Avigliana.

Financing solutions are of course available for yachts in this category. Whether a bank loan, ship mortgage or more structured arrangement is chosen will depend on the buyer’s individual tax situation. Further details can be found on our Services page. We work with experienced partners who specialise in marine finance and can make targeted introductions via our contact page.

Delivering a new Azimut from the shipyard to its home port or preferred berth is a logistical undertaking in its own right. Depending on the chosen berth – whether on the north German coast, a Swiss inland lake, an Austrian marina or a Croatian harbour – different logistics apply. Some owners take delivery of the yacht in Genoa and sail her home themselves; others prefer a professional delivery crew. We arrange both, with support from our technical department, which is present at the handover.

What Does an Azimut Yacht Cost to Run?

Running costs depend on so many variables that blanket figures do more harm than good: marina fees vary considerably between a north German city marina and an exclusive berth in Dubrovnik. Insurance, winter storage, refit cycles, fuel consumption according to usage intensity and the question of whether a professional crew is employed or not all combine to produce a highly individual cost picture. We are happy to discuss this openly and in full detail during a personal consultation.

Which Azimut Range Suits Which Cruising Ground?

A question we hear regularly – and one that deserves an honest answer: there is no universally correct range. The choice depends on the owner’s profile, not only on the cruising ground. Anyone wishing to place the Azimut models correctly should ask themselves three questions: how many people are regularly on board? What passages will be made – short day trips or extended passages? And what role does life on board play relative to the experience of sailing itself?

Croatia, for example, is a cruising ground with a rich island landscape, numerous anchorages and a well-developed marina infrastructure. Here, Seadeck models, Fly yachts and the Magellano all perform equally well. The difference lies in the cruising philosophy. Those who would like to experience the Azimut ranges on the water can do so with us at D-Marin Mandalina in Šibenik, where we are able to organise not only berths but also sea trials and charter experiences. More about the cruising ground and the possibilities there can be found in our article on the D-Resort Šibenik.

Within the DACH region itself – on Lake Constance, the Wolfgangsee or in North Sea and Baltic harbours – other considerations come into play: air draught at bridges, draught in shallow-water areas and heating systems for extended autumn seasons. These too are topics we address concretely in our consultations, as they are relevant to the choice of model.

How Does the Purchase and Delivery of an Azimut Model Work in Practice?

The process typically begins with a conversation in which we establish the client’s usage profile, cruising plans and equipment wishes. From this, a shortlist of relevant Azimut models is drawn up. This is followed, if desired, by a visit to our Grünwald showroom or to the shipyard in Avigliana. After the order is placed and production is complete, the yacht undergoes its handover inspection, followed by delivery to the agreed berth. The entire process – technical and commercial – is managed by Yachtwerk. More about our approach can be found on the About Us page.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Many Ranges Does Azimut Offer in 2026?

The current Azimut programme comprises six ranges: Seadeck, Fly, Grande, Magellano, S and Atlantis. Each line is tailored to a specific usage profile. Details of the individual models within each range, as well as current availability, are available on request from our team.

What Do Azimut Models Cost in 2026?

Pricing varies considerably depending on the range, size, engine configuration and individual specification. As Azimut yachts are equipped largely to the client’s wishes, list prices are only a starting point. Current and binding pricing is available on direct enquiry to Yachtwerk.

Can I Finance an Azimut Yacht in Germany?

Yes, financing is possible and common among our clients. Whether a conventional loan, ship mortgage or alternative structure is chosen depends on the individual’s personal tax and financial circumstances. We can arrange introductions to specialist partners as required and provide commercial guidance throughout the process.

Which Azimut Range Is Best Suited to Long-Range Cruising and Extended Passages?

The Magellano range has been developed explicitly for long-range cruising and extended distances. Its hull design, fuel capacity and seakeeping characteristics are all optimised for this purpose. For shorter passages and Mediterranean seasons without extended blue-water voyages, the Fly and Grande models are also highly capable.

Does Yachtwerk Offer Refit and Servicing for Existing Azimut Yachts?

Yes. Alongside new yacht sales, our services encompass technical servicing, refit consultancy and after-sales support. As an authorised dealer, we have direct access to Azimut’s factory service network and can coordinate service work both in Germany and through our Croatian infrastructure in Šibenik.
