Ready to Launch The Third
120SL THE AZIMUT GRANDE Collection
This third hull of Azimut Grande Collection's thirty-six
metre yacht is 100% Azimut-Benetti quality. Unmatchable
style, liveability, and unparalleled comfort; with a maximum
speed of 39 knots and two lateral water jets, Rolls-Royce
central booster, it is owner-customised down to the last
detail.
With the addition of the all-new "Crew Network" service,
the after-sales services exclusively designed for Azimut
Yachts owners expand even more.
The third unit of Azimut Grande 120SLs built over the last
two years is scheduled for launch this April 2014; it is an
embodiment of the Azimut-Benetti Group's production
excellence. Made up of planing yachts over 30-metres, the
Azimut Grande is the most exclusive Azimut Yachts
collection. And, it boasts the Group's most ambitious design
to date: the 120SL, the product of Azimut's high-performance
hull design prowess and the boatyard's skill in creating
custom solutions. Azimut Grande 120SL offers the boatowner a
wide range of options, catering specifically to the
semi-custom boat market. Over the years, the Group's
offering has expanded to include an after-sales service
network specially designed to enhance the boat owner's
enjoyment. One example is the complimentary Expert Captain
Search and Selection service, part of the ‘Crew Network’
service available to all owners of +24-metre Azimut-Benetti
yachts.
Aside from the location of certain integral yacht
components, such as the engines, bilges, and main bulkheads,
the boat owner has been given total freedom in the detailing
of construction and decor. The overall concept and style of
this new design are the work of Stefano Righini, with
interiors by Carlo Galeazzi.
As Paolo Vitelli, chairman of the Azimut Benetti Group says:
“Azimut Grande represents a tangible response to the needs
expressed by our boat owners: it is an appealing and
distinctive line that doesn't cut corners in terms of
comfort and flawless performance. Rigorous trials and tank
testing have helped develop a high performance keel that can
cruise with ease, even in rough seas. Adopting water jet
transmissions has significantly limited vibrations and
noise, maximising on board comfort for the boat owner and
guests”.
What is the aim of the new 120SL? To experience the sea and
the yacht without limits, reducing the distinction between
interior and outside until it practically disappears.
A goal which springs to life as soon as the gangway comes
up: as soon as you climb on board, you’ll find yourself on
the main deck. Here, the cockpit and the living area come
together to form a unified deck, with commanding views at
all times of the day.
This third example of the Azimut Grande 120SL retains all
the features which the previous units were renowned for,
adding three MTU 16v 2000, 2640 horsepower engines (2450
rpm), boosting the maximum speed to 39 knots.
The internal layout still includes a main saloon
with its 60 square metres; 50 square metres of glazing and
the additional operable skylight above – which reveals more
than 15 square metres of sky and sea - provide an
unprecedented sensation: the distinction between inside and
outside virtually disappears, there is longer any difference
felt between the two.

The liveability and expanse of the interiors is emphasized
by opening the glazing which separates the living area from
the cockpit to create a single space in direct contact with
the sea.
The living area comes standard with a ten-person dining
table and two sofas, it can of course be closed off and
climate controlled.
The main deck is an area where boat owners can freely
express their taste and personalise the furnishings. Drawing
on the boatyard’s design experience, its technical staff are
on hand to establish the boat owners’ desires and propose
solutions that shape them and bring them to life.
The lower deck layout offered by Azimut is a perfect example
of high liveability.
The owner’s cabin measures 43 square metres, with 11 of
these dedicated to separate his-and-hers bathrooms. The two
glassed windows offer breathtaking sea views and fill the
interiors with natural light.
The crew area with its three cabins – one with a double bed
– serves to separate and insulate the owner’s cabin from the
engine room, further ensuring quiet and comfort.
The layout also includes three guest cabins: one VIP cabin
in the bow with a double bed, and two cabins with twin beds
amidships, each with a private bathroom. In addition, the
lower deck is equipped with an additional day head for day
guests.
All the interiors feature a play of contrasting light and
dark tones in finishes and materials, with ebony and oak
skilfully combined with fine leather and steel and glass
elements.
The lighting scheme employs recessed LED ceiling lights and
spots with continuous intensity adjustment.
Even the exterior is designed and constructed to offer the
best possible vacation experience.Towards the bow, a small
sitting room and two large sunpads allow for total
relaxation, all the while ensuring the necessary privacy.
Between the openable roof section over the saloon and
cockpit, a flybridge creates an additional outdoor living
area equipped with a steering station, Jacuzzi, and dinette
sofa. At the stern, the swimming platform above the
transmissions with stairs going up to the cockpit.

transmissions with stairs going up to the cockpit.
The garage, among the largest in this category, can house a
tender of up to 5.5 metres and two jet skis up to 2.9 metres
in length.
The three MTU 2000 16V engines are coupled with three
Rolls-Royce KaMeWa water jets, two lateral water jets, and a
central booster jet for true thoroughbred performance:
the maximum speed is 39 knots, with unexpected acceleration
and handling for a unit of this size. This is due also to
high-quality electronic assistance that uses original
elements from propulsion and transmission producers, as well
as an integrated Naviop system.In the bilge there is a
passage of more than 21 metres going all the way to the
engine room, making it possible to inspect the hidden
elements of the boat.
With the new Azimut Grande range flagship, the Azimut
Benetti Group reinforces its role as a leader in the mega
yacht world, reasserting its capacity to anticipate the
needs and requirements of the most demanding boat owners.
