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 design team behind the Seadeck series comprises the Alberto Mancini Yacht Design studio for the exterior and the Milan-based Matteo Thun studio with Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez. 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.

The first of first hybrid series for families developed by Azimut offers seamless cruises with barrierless, authentic contact with the sea. Embracing a more conscious relationship with nature, Seadeck 6 is the first yacht of the most efficient Series of boats ever designed, thanks to technological solutions aimed at reducing emissions by up to 40% end the Fun Island, a reinvented cockpit with the water, maximizing the relations with the ocean to offer an immersive and harmonious natural experience all around and a new lifestyle based on well-being.

SEADECK 7

Part of the first hybrid Series for families developed by Azimut, the yacht embodies the ideal of
returning to a more authentic experience of the outdoors. Seadeck 7 is the state-of-the-art of
efficency, thanks to technological solutions aimed at reducing emissions by up to 40% and the
Fun Island, a reinvented cockpit that embraces the sea, an unprecedented sea-level outdoor
lounge for limitless contact with the water. When the large windows are open, the interiors and
exteriors become a single environment, where this new informal interaction breaks down the last
physical and social barrier of this symbolic space of wellness.

Marco Valle, Azimut-Benetti group CEO, told: “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.” Valle explained that the new Seadeck models will be constructed at the group’s Avigliana plant and head office near Turin where a whole new production line is being developed, funded by the group’s current €130m investment programme which includes spending on new products and expanding build capacity at its Avigliana, Livorno and Viareggio plants. The largest Seadeck series models will be the biggest yachts built at the Avigliana plant both in terms of length, rising from 78ft to 80ft, and in volume. The size of the three Seadeck models has increased from previous introductions of the new series, such as at the Cannes Yachting Festival, where they were going to be respectively 55ft, 66ft and 77ft. 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.
