AZIMUT 116
Azimut is preparing to launch its new flagship, Azimut 116. The first
example of this 35m. motoryacht, equipped with a gliding bottom and
MTU engines totalling 4,000 HP, will be launched during the summer and
can be admired at the forthcoming Genova show. The exterior layout was
designed by Stefano Righini and the interior by Carlo Galeazzi; they,
in perfect agreement with the Azimut design office, came up with an
extremely flexible design.
The new Azimut 116 is built around three
and a half decks, brightly lit by wide elliptic windows and by
numerous large vertical and oval portholes. On the outside there is
the sundeck, equipped with a mast, from which two electrically
openable hardtops extend towards both stern and bow. These make it
possible to shade the futuristic fly bridge from the control station
to the Jacuzzi tub. The fly covers the cockpit almost completely,
making this a pleasant living area at all times. The shipyard has
allowed great flexibility in equipping Azimut 116 and several versions
are offered in order to meet the approval of any owner. The interior
decoration is in bleached chestnut oak and walnut, in line with the
current minimalist trend but the shipyard offers various solutions and
will readily personalise in any way. Onboard plants and systems are
the most modern the market has to offer. Astern, the large garage can
house a tender and two jet skis, or only one jet ski, leaving space
for another en-suite cabin for crew.
