Conceived to give life to the extraordinary, the Grande 26M is the Azimut's latest innovative masterpiece.
A fluid layout made of multiple levels empowers and frees the senses while encouraging an intimate discourse with the surrounding sea, such as the cockpit area, which may be expanded to create a luxurious leisure terrace. Strategically-designed spaces grant complete privacy, suggesting a superyacht-inspired sophistication.
Rise to unconventionality with the Grande 26M.
The Grande 26M is capable of a dazzling transformation, which, thanks to the innovative Deck 2 Deck™ expands the cockpit onto a terrace over the waves. Built with versatility in mind, the opening transom comes all the way up to lie flush with the aft edge of the main deck. The new space offers boundless views of the sea and a walkaround table, accessible on all four sides.
Freestanding, low-profile furniture allows the full height windows to shine and yet finds the space to hide away plenty of internal storage. The living and dining areas are separated, not by barriers, but by distinctions in the styles.
The organic curvature of the exteriors of the Grande 26M strikes a balance with the sportive hull lines, creating an impossibly well-rounded aesthetic. According to the same concept, her imposing volume is lightened by the extensive glazed surfaces visible from the profile, which reach a maximum in the fore part of the main deck, inspiring wonder about the privileged master suite. Despite benefiting from a hard top, the yacht’s proportions give her the streamlined feel of a coupé.
Not content to accept the limitations of modern layouts, the Grande 26M searches for new spaces on the vertical axis. Multi-level design makes life on board a breeze, guaranteeing total privacy without compromise. The full-height-windowed owner’s suite on the main deck is kept company by four guest cabins below deck and served by a crew area in the bow. The partially raised wheelhouse allows crew members to access their quarters from the side walkway, in addition to the typical galley stair entrance.
The full-height windows in the owner’s suite offer extraordinary views of the sea. The vanity-desk to starboard barely occupies a fraction of the frame, working with the large reflective surface and the extension of the suite into the forward washing a dressing area to expand the perception of space.
Live an enveloping experience on board the Grande 26M.
Take the tour
The Grande 26M is the first yacht in the world to be equipped with the LARGE POD 4600 developed by Azimut in partnership with ZF. For the first time on larger boats, it is thus possible to reduce consumption by 20% at the most frequently travelled speeds while offering superior maneuverability for mooring.
Azimut’s pioneering use of carbon fiber lamination goes beyond pure performance. The Carbon-Tech Generation offers expanded volumes on board, while maintaining excellent dynamic stability and perfect handling. Preserving the yacht’s low center of gravity, the carbon fiber was focused on the upper parts of the yacht, lightening the laminated components by up to 30% and reducing the natural roll momentum up to 15%.
Automatic interceptors by Humphree gives the vessel the lift it needs to get up on plane faster or to reach that optimum running trim. In this way the resistance of the hull is automatically optimised for every speed and load condition, this resulting in increased speed and lower fuel consumption. The Humphree system is all electric powered by 12-24 Volt DC. Thanks to the design of the Interceptor it only requires a small amount of power to move the blade up and down, even under high speed operation.
The yacht is equipped with an AHU air extraction system, which continuously exchanges and purifies the air on board. Through the use of extractors and air handling units, the rooms benefit from a continuous flow of fresh, clean air from the outside, filtering out most undesireable particals and odors.
