Seadeck Series, back to nature

A new line that embodies the ideal of a return to nature, thanks to technological solutions that reduce emissions by up to 40% and the Fun Island, a reinvented aft terrace that “embraces” the sea and defines a new lifestyle paradigm based on wellbeing. This innovative and holistic concept has been developed in collaboration with Alberto Mancini and Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, making their debut in the world of yachting.

A closer contact with the sea

In Azimut’s most recent launches, technological innovations to reduce environmental impact have been introduced alongside design solutions that bring down barriers between interior and exterior, re-establishing closer contact with the sea and nature.

This is the ‘Fun Island’, a space re-invented to offer an experience immersed in nature, but also a new way to spend time together on board. Because when the large windows are open, the interiors and exteriors become a single space, while the possibility of interacting with everyone, including those in the water, removes the last physical and social barrier. In other words, it’s a space for ‘fun’ in both real and symbolic senses.

Hybrid Propulsion

Seadeck is the first series of models from 60’ up that already integrates Volvo hybrid propulsion, onboard systems designed to reduce energy consumption and solutions to cut emissions: more than 40% carbon fiber surface, the planning hull is the most efficient ever built by Azimut, zero-emissions roadstead stop, thanks to state-of-the-art battery pack. A combination that will deliver a 40% reduction in CO2 emission over a year of average use, both when cruising and at anchor, compared to a traditional flybridge boat of similar dimensions.

Seadeck Series: Designed by Alberto Mancini and Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez. 

To create the Seadeck Series, Azimut decided to work with designers who shared this ideal of returning to nature: Alberto Mancini and Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez. 

Alberto Mancini came up with an innovative concept in which, right from the very first sketches, the exterior communicates naturally with the interior. To do this, he modulated the lines from taught and dynamic to sinuous and essential, thus defining the infinite space of the Fun Island:

“We wanted to create a boat that puts maximum emphasis on the concept of openness and transparency, and that also represented a radical change in terms of the relationship with nature. With the introduction of the Fun Island, Seadeck is actually a floating island where owners can get away from their daily routine and live in total contact with the sea,” comments Alberto Mancini.

In their interior design concept for the Seadeck Series, Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez draw on the “conscious” philosophy that is the distinctive feature of their approach to architecture. Their collaboration with Azimut is explained by the sharing of precise values: the desire to work by subtraction to reveal the “heart” of a space where it’s easier to “feel good”, a redefinition of luxury based on wellbeing, and the choice of natural or recycled materials. As in the decision to use cork – an age-old Mediterranean material capable of spontaneous regeneration – to replace teak.
