April 15 may have been the dreaded Tax Day in the USA, but it was Launch Day in Italy, for the Azimut Grande 95RPH.
The Azimut Grande 95RPH measures 93’9” (28.62 meters) and has a beam of 23’2” (7.07 meters). She’s the smallest in the Grande Collection, which includes five models up to the 120SL. The shipyard designates them as “Grande” because all are 95 feet (29 meters) and larger. With the exception of Azimut’s Flybridge Collection, none of the other series offered by Azimut include megayacht models in that size range. The Grande Collection is further semi-custom.
In keeping with Azimut tradition, the Azimut Grande 95RPH bears styling by Stefano Righini. She has a raised pilothouse (hence “RPH”), overall sleek lines, and large below-decks ports, all of which we’ve come to expect of Azimut.
Five staterooms and a 646-square-foot (60-square-meter) are among the leisure spaces aboard the megayacht. Unusual for her LOA, the Azimut Grande 95RPH has a main-deck master, forward. It’s thanks to the raised pilothouse. Another nice feature: floor-to-ceiling windows in the saloon and dining area. Three crew cabins for four people total are also aboard. Studio Salvagni Architects was responsible for the general arrangement and decor.
The owner will surely seek out sunny shores when cruising, so the Azimut Grande 95RPH has a good turn of speed. Twin MTU 16V2000 M84s should allow a 26½-knot top end and 20-knot cruise (both at half load). The full-load draft of 6’7” (2.05 meters) means a variety of anchorages can also be accessed.
Azimut Yachts will have the Azimut Grande 95RPH on display at some of the fall boat shows. MegayachtNews.com will be at these shows and have a full onboard report.
