Azimut Seadeck 9: the hybrid flagship of Azimut Yachts is coming soon

Measuring 25.60 meters in length, the Azimut Seadeck 9 embodies the pinnacle of Azimut Yachts' current “Low Emission” philosophy. With its advanced production processes and hybrid propulsion system, this model aims to combine ultimate luxury with a reduced environmental footprint. The debut is scheduled for 2026.


While electrification has become the dominant trend in land mobility, the same cannot yet be said for the boating sector.

Though there are undoubtedly opportunities to apply these technologies in yachting, their adoption remains the exception in an industry still largely dominated by internal combustion engines.

However, Azimut Yachts has always been keen to explore new horizons. This is evident in the Seadeck series, the yard’s first range of hybrid yachts. Following the anticipated debut of the Seadeck 6 at the 2024 Venice Boat Show, the series is expanding upwards with the arrival of its new flagship: the Azimut Seadeck 9, set to debut in 2026. Meanwhile, the Seadeck 7 made its premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024,

Azimut Seadeck 9: reducing emissions to the absolute limit

In addition to the Grande 30M, at the last Cannes Yachting Festival, Federico Lantero, Head of Product Design at the Azimut-Benetti group, announced the arrival of this new 25-meter yacht as the flagship of Azimut's hybrid series.

So, it's not just a boat, but also the symbol of the new “Low Emission” course the brand has embarked on with the Seadeck range.

From a mechanical perspective, the spotlight is on the three Volvo Penta hybrid power units, 1,000 hp Ips1350 each (enough to reach a top speed of 27 knots). The Azimut Seadeck 9 also reflects a construction approach focused on reducing pollution, with the implementation of "green" technologies and specially designed technical solutions.

The shipyard estimates that this could reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40% over a year of average boat use, including both navigation and time spent at anchor.

Human-height windows and an "island" in the sea

Azimut Seadeck 9 is designed by Alberto Mancini with interior design  by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez.

The result is a very modern yacht both in terms of exterior design and interior décor, but special mention must go to the (truly) enormous seamless windows that crown the entire deckhouse, especially the one Azimut calls the “Fun Island”.

This is an original reinterpretation of the traditional aft space, which brings guests even closer to the sea: a cascade of three terraces on three levels, leading people all the way to the water via a platform with a ladder.

On these 60 m² dedicated to relaxation, there is space for four sun loungers, two of which are placed on the middle beach area, and two more at the far end of the cockpit. The latter are also movable, allowing them to cover the aft pool when needed.

Last but not least, the below-deck layout offers two options: 4 or 5 cabins, plus one for the crew.
