About the Azimut Seadeck 9
It’s official: Italian shipyard Azimut-Benetti has just launched its first Azimut Seadeck 9 in Italy.
For now, we’re sharing the manufacturer’s comments about it. Reviews should follow in the coming months.
It is powered by three Volvo IPS PODS equipped with Volvo’s new hybrid propulsion system.
A particularly innovative feature is the aft pool (or oversized spa), which is a significant addition to the FUN ISLAND concept.
We will have to take a closer look at it, probably at the next Cannes Boat Show (2026).
However, this category between 80 and 90 feet is fairly crowded with Italian and British competition. I am thinking here of Ferretti, Sunseeker, Princess Yachts, Riva, and also Sunreef Catamarans. Innovation must be at the forefront to attract boaters looking to buy, and these manufacturers are constantly at the drawing board to develop yachts that increasingly meet the criteria of boaters.
About the Yacht Seadeck 9 (description by Azimut):
Part of the first hybrid Series for families developed by Azimut, the yacht embodies the ideal of returning to a more authentic experience of the outdoors. Seadeck 7 is the state-of-the-art of efficency, thanks to technological solutions aimed at reducing emissions by up to 40% and the Fun Island, a reinvented cockpit that embraces the sea, an unprecedented sea-level outdoor lounge for limitless contact with the water. When the large windows are open, the interiors and exteriors become a single environment, where this new informal interaction breaks down the last physical and social barrier of this symbolic space of wellness.
A green heart. Seadeck is the first Series of hybrid motoryachts for families and the first line conceived with a holistic approach, which integrates the solutions used on Azimut’s Low Emission Yachts with hybrid engines and on-board systems designed to reduce energy absorption. A combination that will allow the reduction of 40% of CO2 emissions in a year of average use, between navigation and stops at anchor.
The fun island. A surprisingly spacious and versatile stern area introduces the new concept of the Fun Island, an unprecedented open-air lounge au fil de
l’eau, designed to experience the large spaces in total freedom and comfort. The entire Main Deck is transformed into a large space that offers the possibility of interacting with everyone, even with those in the water, breaking down the last physical and social barrier. It is the real and symbolic space of «fun». The Fun Island is completed by two opening wings and an aft platform that reveals a large staircase that descents into the water.
A concept open to nature. Alberto Mancini creates an innovative concept, in which from the very first sketches the exterior naturally interacts with the interior. The lines evolve from dynamic to sinuous and essential, tracing the infinite space of the Fun Island, for an authentic contact with nature and an extreme freedom on board.
A gentle design. Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez apply the conscious philosophy that distinguishes their approach to architecture in the interior design. The encounter with Azimut was born from the sharing of precise values: the desire to work in subtraction to let the heart of the environments emerge, the one in which to feel good, redefining the concept of luxury in terms of wellness, the careful choice of natural and sustainable materials, recycled and recyclable.
