Recently arrived in Auckland is a new Azimut Grande 38 Trideck, delivered to a repeat Azimut customer – the largest new Azimut sold into New Zealand.
Designed by Alberto Mancini with interiors by Achille Salvagni, it introduces a groundbreaking “three decks plus one” concept, featuring a half-raised aft deck that creates cascading terraces, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
The yacht offers two engine options: twin 2,400 hp MTU engines or twin 2,600 hp MTU engines, achieving maximum speeds of up to 23–25 knots and cruising speeds of 19–20 knots. Its fuel capacity is 22,500 litres, providing a range of approximately 1,800 nautical miles at economic speed.
The Grande Trideck’s construction utilises a combination of GRP and carbon fibre, reducing weight by up to 30% and enhancing stability. The innovative ‘D2P’ Displacement to Planing hull ensures smooth transitions between cruising modes.
Additionally, the yacht features a 130 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, enabling up to 8 hours of zero-emission hotel mode operation.
Interior spaces are designed for versatility, with options for 5 or 6 cabins accommodating up to 10 guests and 6 crew members. Notably, the yacht boasts a spacious beach club with a side-loading tender garage, setting a new standard for yachts under 40 meters.
