With 499 GT of internal volume, the Azimut Grande 44M superyacht boasts ample space for both entertainment and relaxation. Her large windows flood the interior with natural light, offering breathtaking panoramic views.

The transition between the exterior and interior spaces of the Azimut Grande 44M yacht is effortless for guests, with sliding glass doors allowing guests to easily move between these spaces.

The Azimut Grande 44M yacht is expected to be powered by twin MAN engines, which will provide her with an estimated top speed of 17 knots. Construction of the first hull will take place at the shipyard in Viareggio, with her moulds already taking shape.

According to Azimut Yachts CEO Marco Valle, five units have already been sold to existing Azimut owners, with the first hull in the series expected to be delivered in September 2026, in time for the boat show season.
