Azimut Grande 26M Yacht Test Drive, Tour & Review | YachtBuyer

- čas přidán 14. 07. 2024
- The latest Azimut Grande model elevates expectations of what a 26m, 85ft flybridge can deliver. Five cabins, 30 knots and an extending aft deck are delivered in typically spectacular modernist style.
In this in-depth walkthrough tour filmed at the 2022 Cannes Boat Show, Carl Richardson shows you all of the most important features aboard the Grande 26M (formerly known as the Azimut 26 Metri).
With some big, powerful exterior lines outside, from Alberto Mancini, and cool, relaxed and sometimes quite surreal interior design from Achille Salvagni, the Grande 26M looks and impresses like nothing else in this sector.
Away from the aesthetics, This is the first yacht to sport Azimut’s unique, ZF designed, Large POD 4600 drive system. With a massive 1,650hp going through each drive, we managed to grab some sea trial time to find out how this mighty yacht handles. The headline figures make for enticing reading, with a top speed of 30 knots and fast cruising anywhere from 20 to 25 knots.

I take issue with your tech sheet, it repeatedly refers to this vessel as a superyacht. It's called a superyacht some seven times though some of them were "soft" calls e.g. "superyacht feel". But most of them were definitive, e.g. "entry level superyacht" and "Yacht Type (Primary) Superyacht". It's not a superyacht. You can call it Compact Superyacht. You can call it a Pocket Superyacht. But the Loadline is under 24m so it's a regular pleasure vessel with only a short licence required to pilot. And even if you do pay crew, you only need "el-cheapo" crew NOT Large Yacht Code expensive _superyacht_ crew.
I love the market segment, LOA above 24m but the LLL under 24m... so many great options from Sunseeker and Princess, but also so many places like Arcadia and Wally too. But love them though I do - they're not superyachts.
Excellent information. Thank you
That is one lovely boat, I've been watching all your boat tours and test drives, the fact that you do a lot of test drives than other channels on CZcams makes you a unique channel, keep up the good work
We will, thanks for watching our vids! 👍
just found your channel and love that you review the boats on the go, not static. Please bring more videos of mega yachts on the move.. many thanks
Thanks, will do!
Really liking the channel and both of your delivery / presentation styles. YB is now my favourite channel on this subject so thank you. One thing - and although the edit is very well done, smooth & professional looking - you occasionally edit out too much and it’s not always clear to see how each cabin or space connects with the other and to grasp the orientation of everything immediately
Noted, Tim, thanks. 👍
Well done Carl, nice walkthrough video of this Italian superyacht. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions with your viewing public. Ciao from 🇮🇹 Italy. God bless your new channel!!!
You guys are killing it! Just give it time and viewers will surely follow. There are a lot of us dreamers out there. This, by the way, is quite the boat!! 👍
Cheers Jeff! 🤝
Azimut superyachts are just one of many of the very best Italian 🇮🇹 boats built in the world by award-winning architects and designers that have that "Bella" classy 'WOW' factor that set them apart from other superyachts!!!
Great review of a great boat Jack, thanks.
Amazing boat!
Nice design. Congratulations to 3200 Abos. Thats amazing for a new chanel
Thank you very much!
9:56 Impressive drive units.
Excellent review.
vary surprised at all the spaces on board , knocked the showing out of the park. alot to think about . just one question why do yacht builders us what i call funky colors (pastel)? on the beds and furniture? After doing all the great woods and metals it just looks funky to me. thanks for the showing i love it .
Great video! Thank you for the tour
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice to hear the sound in the different cabins while underway.
Would you please do the same for the Cranchi 67 and 78? That would be highly appreciated
3:57 Especially if there are some love handles there.
Plus, when you're done drinking at the bar you can just lean back and roll into your cabin.
I like how a Swedish Delta or Uttern, a weekender at 8-11meters can accommodate sleeping for 4people.
But these 80-110feet Yachts with 100x the volume and 1000z the dry weight can only have sleeping for 6people 😂
They could with efficient planning and not much smaller cabins easily have 10-12 sleeping.
But waste space with an oversized aft and bow area and a open air sundeck for 30people..
Atleast the 3d fllor could have been half enclosed for another social area and then have two extra cabins in the midsection.
And a smaller mechanical area..
Like your reviews. Interesting addition to Aquaholic as you do more sea trials. I am in love with your blue. Whats that for a blue?
‘YachtBuyer’ Blue 😉. Thanks for watching 👍
BoatTEST is also a good site, loads of sea trials. Florida based so very many US boats, some Italian and UK boats too.
Good vid. Can it be piloted solo?
OMG she's not just a harbor princess?! Where is the DJ booth? GOOD LORD!!!! a dedicated helm!???
Nice boat and decent explanation, but the editing kind of lost the feel of where you were on the boat in relation to other rooms, how to get to them and what the floorplan was etc.
Sorry - filmed during boat show with many other journalists onboard. So hard to avoid them all during filming. Follow link above to read our full written review and see deck plans.
8:03 The deck looks so great when wet,
why do I never see teak on a yacht with
dark stain, so it would look as it does here?
The Serious competitor of ferretti 860.

What are you talking about not giving the captain a quality helm seat. I watch tons of yacht videos and almost all top brands offer a fantastic helm seat.
Nice enough, but the absence of a connection between upper and lower helms is a big negative - a deal breaker for some folks including me.
Are you guys not bothering showing engine rooms? Or listing data like tender size, generator power, etc?
Yes - we usually do show the engine room but this was filmed during the Cannes Boat Show so our time onboard was very limited. Follow the link to our written review on our website for full stats: www.yachtbuyer.com/en/reviews/azimut-grande-26-metri-2022
They put the dataset in the tech sheet, pinned comment.
You forgot to mention the most important thing on all Azimuts according to the president, Federico Ferrante. C.ean your darn air handlers. They make them easily accessible for that reason.
Jeez- it looks like the aftermath of a massacre on the teak on the flybridge
😂
stability would seem to be a problem
Yep, rolling like a pig. I imagine quite a few people especially the kind who would buy these yachts getting quite queasy. And by the kind of people buying these yachts I mean people not used to being on a boat at sea. Like most of us.
Pull off them silly blue lights, put it on a decent trailer and you can tow it with your Austin Maestro to the nearest slip. Captain Bligh needs to take the lemon out of his mouth too.
Footage was all over the place, no real aspect of the boat just an overview at best
👀👀👀🤯WTFUCK
going to fast
700 quid an hour in diesel yeah!.
@@chrisclarke7828 The average yacht does 50 engine hours a year, that would be £35k aka "fuck all" to someone with proper wedge who can buy a £6m coastal showboat just for splashing about a bit.
I like the channel and test drives. This boat just isn't for me though. The interior is a miss. The layout is bad too. The helm and the galley are so cramped. Who would want to drive that boat for long periods all by themselves. They need to rethink this.
I think this is 99% likely to be crewed so that's fine. "Rethink" this? They've sold 30 units in 3 months. Those sales numbers are something to double-down on!!
Glad you’re enjoying the videos Brian, plenty more options you may like coming to the channel very soon 😀
STOP FILMING THE PRESENTER.
The interior design sux. Furniture doesn't look comfortable or practical. That real light wood does not speak Luxury.
I love Azimut but I can't stand 🐂💩. Honestly Azimut needs new blood in design of interiors and exteriors. I still loved the boat. But whatever with the host of this tour.
Azimut has not been innovative in a number of years. Stop with this nobody does as well as Azimut. It's not true.
Very bad presentation and camera work
