Compact superyacht with the Deck2Deck™ terrace
The Grande 26M develops over multiple levels that strengthen the connection with the sea: its cockpit can be extended into a terrace over the water, and carefully planned spaces guarantee complete privacy, in the manner of a superyacht.
Exteriors are by Alberto Mancini, and owners can choose between two interior projects: the sculptural touch of Achille Salvagni Architetti or the organic, textural design of Yachtique.
Organic exterior curves balance sporty hull lines. Large glazed surfaces lighten the volume, especially forward on the main deck around the master suite, and despite the hard top the proportions keep the streamlined feel of a coupé.
Choose between Achille Salvagni’s artistic, sculptural approach, with sophisticated geometric forms, or Yachtique’s organic design with sinuous lines and tactile finishes. Both enhance a multi-level architecture with surprising volumes and full privacy.
With Deck2Deck™, the transom opens and lifts to the level of the main deck, turning the cockpit into a terrace above the water with a table guests can reach from every side and an unobstructed view of the sea.
Two interior designers offer two directions: Achille Salvagni’s sculptural style or Yachtique’s focus on refined materials. Either way, tall windows that run from floor to ceiling fill the rooms with daylight.
No yacht had carried the Large POD 4600 before the Grande 26M. Developed by Azimut with ZF, it brings POD propulsion to bigger boats for the first time, using 20% less fuel at the speeds owners use most and making berthing easier.
On the Grande 26M, carbon fibre is concentrated in the upper parts of the yacht. Making them up to 30% lighter brings the centre of gravity down and trims natural roll by up to 15%, which leaves room for larger interiors while the yacht stays stable.
Humphree’s electric interceptors help the Grande 26M reach planing speed sooner and keep it running at the right angle. Lower resistance whatever the speed or load means better pace and less fuel, and the 12–24 V DC system draws little power even when working hard at speed.
An AHU system keeps the Grande 26M’s air fresh, extracting and purifying it continuously so the interiors receive clean outside air with most particles and smells filtered out.
