Italy’s Azimut Yachts has launched a new range of sustainable yachts under the Seadeck brand.
The new Seadeck series will initially comprise three models – the 18.3m (60ft) Seadeck 6, 21.3m (70ft) Seadeck 7 and the 24.4m (80ft) Seadeck 8. They will be the most sustainable and fuel-efficient yachts that Azimut has ever built.
All models in the Seadeck range will have low-emission, full hybrid propulsion systems, lightweight carbon fibre, advanced hull designs, sustainable materials, and a battery-solar panel combination. The aim is to achieve a minimum of 30% less fuel consumption at a range of speeds and a 40% decrease at other times. The relevant lower emissions which this produces will be well in advance of the IMO’s target for 2030.
The Seadeck design combines sustainable materials and low emissions with outdoor living and meets the ambition to bring such a lifestyle change to smaller vessels that Benetti has already introduced with its Oasis models.
“We have shown the models to a number of European dealers and so far 15 orders have been received. Of the 15, 10 are for the Seadeck 6 and five for the Seadeck 7. They are all sold to European buyers” said Marco Valle, Azimut-Benetti group CEO
As to their debuts, the Seadeck 6 will premiere at boot Düsseldorf in January 2024, the Seadeck 7 at Cannes in September 2024, and the Seadeck 8 at Cannes in September 2025.
