Italy-based Azimut Yachts, an Azimut Benetti Group brand, was recently recognised at the World Superyacht Awards 2018 for its design work on the Grande 35 Metri.

The award’s panel rewarded the perfect intuition shown by the designers of the Grande 35 Metri, which satisfies the modern owner’s needs by offering plenty of space for life on board, both outdoors and below deck, said a statement from the company.

The winners were announced at a gala ceremony against the magnificent backdrop of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, it said.

The award is a further demonstration of how highly this model is appreciated for its originality, after being given a favourable reception by the market. It confirms the success of Azimut’s strategy of making long-term investments in several aspects such as research and development, the implementation of production processes, and the development of new products, it added.

At the ceremony, Azimut Benetti Group vice president Giovanna Vitelli, said: “I’m very proud of the recognition of our most exclusive collection through this prestigious award, this is a reflection of hard work and dedication in serving our customers which is what our employees focus on every single day.”

“Vitelli pointed out that this success confirms the strategic role played by Azimut’s team and collaborators who are committed to offering only the best to Azimut’s owners in terms of comfort, design and technology,” he said.

The Grande 35 Metri offers its guests two beach clubs, with the 12-sq-m beach area in the stern joined by a second 30-sq-m lounge area or beach club in the bow, furnished with sun lounging sofas and a hydro-massage tub.

The exteriors created by Stefano Righini act as counterpoint to the interior design by Achille Salvagni, who wanted the dynamism of the outdoor areas to be offset by calm, sophisticated settings below deck, featuring flowing layouts and elegant furnishings made even more special by one-off pieces created ad hoc.

The main deck plays host not only to the big lounge, but also to the owner’s suite fitted with a private instant balcony, while the four VIP cabins are located on the lower deck, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
