Exterior design
Clean, straight lines and sustainable materials keep the yacht visually close to the sea, and its stern can be opened out into a terrace.
Compact superyacht with a raised pilothouse and main-deck owner’s suite
Compact for a superyacht, the Grande 27M balances comfort with performance. Its raised pilothouse, a first in its category, leaves the main deck free for the owner’s suite and makes room for four guest cabins on the lower deck.
Carbon fibre is used widely to keep weight down while preserving generous interior volumes. Stefano Righini penned its exterior, and the interiors carry the signature of Achille Salvagni Architetti.
Highlights
Signature features
Interior design
Inside, the usual partitions give way to rounded bulkheads that frame the view of the sea through tall, full-height glazing.
Sculptural elegance
Straight lines and curves alternate along the whole length of the yacht, giving a dynamic shell to its large interior volumes. Windows that climb from the hull into the superstructure make the profile look lighter and the rooms feel bigger.
Absolute aesthetic
The interiors focus on the composition of space: free-standing surfaces detach from the walls to become design elements, and soft, organic geometries create a relaxing atmosphere.

Carbon-Tech Generation
Azimut uses carbon fibre in the top sections of the Grande 27M. Because those pieces weigh up to 30% less, the boat sits with a lower centre of gravity and rolls up to 15% less, and the interior can be more generous without affecting how it handles.
Active Trim Control
On the Grande 27M, Humphree automatic interceptors provide the extra lift that brings the hull onto the plane earlier and keeps its trim optimal. Drag is minimised for each speed and loading, improving speed and consumption, while the fully electric 12–24 V DC actuators use minimal energy.
Advanced Stabilization System
Stabilis Electra™ stabilising fins work together with Dualis Electra™ thrusters. The fins are reliable, precise and silent and can even lower energy consumption, while the thrusters’ casting quality and mechanics deliver a high thrust-to-power ratio.
Hi-Tech Control & Monitoring
Simrad Command brings every yacht function to the helm displays: engine data and fuel consumption, generators, trim and interceptors, lighting, batteries and air conditioning, together with advanced navigation tools and automations that make the skipper’s job easier.
High Technical Standard Declaration
For the Grande 27M, Azimut issues a formal statement that the yacht’s design and construction meet the highest standards for series-built recreational boats, covering materials, technology and the checks it undergoes.
