AZIMUTH. GREAT, NOT JUST BY NAME

- it.azimutyach­ts.com

This yacht hit its sale target of five even before its presentati­on in spring 2018. A premise that points clearly to the success of the boat baptized as the new Grande Collection flagship, the most exclusive line of Azimut Yachts. Three big names sum up the yacht project, and comprise the umpteenth success of founder Paolo Vitelli’s team: architect Stefano Righini designed the external lines, designer Achille Salvagni the interiors, and Pierluigi Ausonio developed the hull lines. The Grande 35 METRI is an imposing boat with powerful contours. A Wide Body RPH (raised pilot house) made of carbon and epoxy resin, fine resin and superior mechanical characteri­stics, combined with Righini’s extensive experience helped lighten the look playing on the alternatio­n between the lighter parts of the structure contrasted with huge dark windows for the interiors. The outdoor areas of the Grande 35 METRI seem endless: the yacht measures 35.17 meters in length and 7.5 meters in width. The unmistakab­le signature of Achille Salvagni — one of the 100 most influentia­l contempora­ry designers according to the magazine — AD Collector, graces the interiors. The designer used fabrics that play on each other, opaque and light, combining them with the shiny and dark furniture details. Exclusive materials like polished brass, bronze and steel blend with fluid architectu­re conceived with soft and enveloping geometric contours reinterpre­ting classic styles in an absolutely contempora­ry and characteri­zing way. The result? A more sensory aesthetic experience: sober luxury, and surroundin­gs that transmit calm and well-being.
