Previously unveiled with great buzz at the 2019 Cannes Yachting Festival, the flagship model from Italian yachting firm Azimut Yachts is the Azimut Grande S10. Inspired by sports cars and the flawless integration of indoor and outdoor areas reminiscent of Malibu’s coastal mansions, the S10 features a dynamic yet classic exterior design by Alberto Mancini with interiors by Francesco Guida. Presenting the optimal mix of comfort, performance, and living on the open waters, we investigate three primary reasons the Azimut S10 is the best yacht for summer cruising the French or Italian Riviera.
1. Her style
The creative design of the Azimut S10 is maybe nothing less than outstanding. Sports vehicles’ aerodynamic sleekness and the open, flowing areas of opulent coastal houses inspired Alberto Mancini. The outcome is a yacht that mixes movement and grace with utility. Her large flybridge, which provides a comfortable 20-square-meter area ideal for sunbathing, entertaining, or just appreciating the panoramic views of the Mediterranean, is among her best traits. Another creative element of her design is the infinity terrace on the main deck aft, which offers an immersive sailing experience that naturally links the indoor and outdoor living spaces. From outdoor eating to dancing beneath the stars, the multifarious loss patio furniture can be arranged to fit several events.
2. She’s flexible.
The Azimut S10 was intended to provide the best of both worlds—sporty performance combined with flybridge yacht adaptability. Driven by twin 2,600 MTU 16V engines, the S10 can reach a top speed of 35 knots and a cruising speed of 30 knots, hence perfect for quick, exciting voyages throughout the Riviera. Her flybridge is more than simply a place to tan; it also features a shaded lounge space and a captain’s command station. Her adaptability lets her owners and visitors savour a range of experiences, from tanning in the sun to sipping a beverage under cover from navigating the breathtaking Mediterranean seas. Furthermore, Naviop Simrad and Centrostile’s custom-designed glass bridge provides easy control and seamless integration of all onboard equipment, therefore facilitating the charter of a new path or change of direction should plans alter at last-minute.
3. Her entire aboard liveability
The comprehensive onboard liveability of the Azimut S10 is among its most outstanding qualities. Her design intends to maximise elegance and comfort. Beautiful curving glass doors in the main saloon and dining sections allow one to create open, flowing areas or closed for more private, private settings. Sun worshippers will find the bow lounge, with its sunpads and armchairs, ideal place to unwind and take in the peaceful Mediterranean splendour. Well-appointed lodging on the lower deck includes a magnificent ensuite master stateroom featuring chaise couch, bar and workstation. Two ensuite VIP suites with queen beds and a flexible ensuite stateroom mean that every guest savours the best luxury. Emphasising the S10’s dedication to combine luxury with utility, she also features a fully equipped galley, two crew cabins, and a subdued dumb waiter.
The Azimut S10 is the ideal boat for summering in the Mediterranean with her elegant design, dynamic adaptability, and total onboard liveability.
