Design limits set by the EU Recreational Craft Directive (2013/53/EU), in significant wave height. A category covers the conditions of those below it. It is the limit the boat was designed to, not a promise that it is safe in any conditions within it — that judgement stays with the skipper.

About Azimut

Premium production

Italian builder of luxury motor yachts, founded in Avigliana in 1969 and part of the Azimut|Benetti Group.

Paolo Vitelli began chartering sailing yachts in 1969, the company was established in 1973, and in 1975 Azimut moved from distribution to creation with the AZ 43' Bali, built with Amerglass to a design by Bernard Olesinski and Terry Disdale -- one of the largest fibreglass yachts of its time and the first to carry the name. John Bennett's AZ 32' Targa of 1977, with its raised helm and opening sunroof, was an international success; Azimut acquired the Benetti shipyard in 1985, and in 1988 the Pininfarina-designed Atlantic Challenger, with four CRM engines of 7,400 hp in all, attempted the Blue Riband transatlantic record under Cesare Fiorio. Pininfarina reimagined the Azimut 65 in 1991 ('not available in red'), the 68 Plus of 1999 brought curvilinear glazing to yachting, the 50 of 2002 looked ahead in form and function, the 68S of 2003 was the first 'open yacht' on the sport-yacht market with its square hull windows, and the Magellano 74 of 2009 was the world's first crossover yacht. The Magellano 50 followed in 2013, the 55S introduced triple Volvo IPS in 2014, the 72 of 2015 was the first Carbon-Tech Generation yacht, Verve 40 opened the walkaround segment in 2016, the S7 and S10 renewed the S Series in 2017 and 2018, the Grande Trideck of 2021 added a 'three decks plus one' configuration, the Seadeck 6 of 2024 set out a more conscious relationship with the sea, and the Grande 44M, presented at Palm Beach in 2024, is the largest yacht the shipyard has ever built.
