An Historic Yachtmaker Debuts Its 2021 Flagship Masterpiece: The Grande 35 Metri And It’s Every Bit As Extra As One Would Expect

By Matthew Mizrach

Born from modest beginnings, Azimut Yachts began its journey in the late 1960s when a wide eyed university student by the name of Paolo Vitelli (the company’s founder) began chartering small sail boats across various European ports of interest. It wasn’t until the ‘70s that this small charter company garnered enough attention from significantly more prestigious players in the field many of whom awarded Azimut the distribution rights for their boats in Italy. This influx of capital and confidence facilitated Azimut’s expansion, quickly growing in influence and ability, and from then on, Azimut has churned out some of the sexiest, highest quality yachts this side of the Seven Seas.

Released in 2021, the Grande 35 Metri from Azimut is now the flagship in the company’s most exclusive line, the Grande Collection. The nearly 115 foot vessel weighs a slim 308,000 pounds, with a slick cruising speed of 21 knots but dial this baby to eleven and you’ll be hitting speeds of 26 knots or more. It will only take new captains a few hours to get familiar with this exotic sea craft and realize exactly how deserving it is of the accolades it harbors.

Below deck is where the fun really happens. Unwind in one of the multiple dining spaces and lounge areas, or choose from several sun decks, bar stations, or a living area with a satellite TV hookup. Spacious private master bedrooms with glamorous en suites offer peace and serenity on the open ocean. And for you sun bums, your choices are practically limitless given the number of well lit sun decks both above and below.
