Introduction to the Azimut Yachts Grande 32M

When you start thinking about life on the water, a lot goes into picking the right boat. The Azimut Yachts Grande 32M is a standout in its size group, known for its thoughtful design, practical layout, and reputation among boat owners and enthusiasts. As a motor yacht measuring 105 feet long and boasting a generous beam of 23 feet, this model is popular with families, friends, and anyone wanting to experience life on the water with the right mix of comfort and technology. From the first look, you’ll notice how its exterior lines and interior setup are welcoming, clear, and crafted for easy use. The focus here is on giving you as much useful information as possible, so you can decide if this yacht matches your plans—whether that’s relaxed weeks with family, entertaining friends, or just taking things easy with room to breathe.

The 32M in its name refers to the overall length, which is just over 32 meters (105 feet). This length gives it the space needed for private cabins, big social spaces, and working areas for the crew, without being so large that handling becomes hard. This model sits in a sweet spot: big enough for luxury and privacy, but still approachable for people who don’t want a floating mansion. The hull is designed to perform well in all water conditions, and the carbon fiber and composite build keep it light and strong.

You may want to know: what kind of trips is this yacht good for? The answer is simple—the Azimut Grande 32M works for coastal cruises, longer voyages, and even short hops to favorite islands or beach towns. Even if you’ve never owned a yacht before, this model is designed for a comfortable and straightforward experience, with systems and controls laid out for easy learning and daily use.

Exterior Design and Usable Spaces

The outside of the Azimut Grande 32M is shaped by the ideas of Stefano Righini, a known designer in the world of motor yachts. His style shows up in every line and curve of this vessel, focusing on openness and views. The exterior is not just for looks—it’s full of practical spaces where you can relax, dine, play, or simply enjoy the breeze.

Looking closely, you’ll see:

• Flybridge: The flybridge is wide and shaded by a hard top, which can be partially closed with electric panels. It’s big enough for a dining table, a bar, sun loungers, and a hot tub if you choose one as an extra. The railings are high and solid, making it safe for adults and kids.
• Main Deck Aft: At the back of the main deck, there’s a large seating area with a couch, chairs, and a table, perfect for open-air meals or just having coffee in the morning. The views stretch right over the swim platform and into the water.
• Bow and Foredeck: The bow is more than just the front of the boat—it’s designed like an outdoor lounge, with a big sun pad, low tables, and safety rails. People use this space for sunbathing, reading, or getting together for sunset drinks.
• Swim Platform: The hydraulic swim platform at the back lowers smoothly into the water, making it safer and easier to swim or launch the tender. The non-slip surface means you don’t have to worry about slips even when it’s wet.
• Side Decks: These walkways have handrails all along and are wide enough to move easily, whether you’re carrying towels, drinks, or helping kids walk safely from one end to the other.

Everything outside is made with durable materials. The decks are finished with real teak, which feels good underfoot and won’t heat up too much in the sun. Stainless steel is used for hardware and rails, holding up well against saltwater and daily use. Lighting outside is subtle and well-placed, making it easy to use these spaces at night without glare or harsh shadows.

Interior Design, Materials, and Comfort

The interior of the Grande 32M is the work of Achille Salvagni, whose goal was to create bright, open spaces with smooth lines and soft touches. When you step inside, sunlight pours through the big windows. You notice gentle curves in the furniture and doorways instead of sharp edges or bulkiness. The color scheme usually sticks to warm neutrals—off-whites, light grey, tan, and soft bronze details—creating a calm and clean feeling.

Main Salon: This is where people come together, and it’s laid out to support both group mingling and quiet moments. Large sofas line the sides, all facing a coffee table and a storage cabinet that can double as a TV stand. Overhead lighting is set into the ceiling with dimmers so you can control the mood. There’s plenty of space in the salon to move around, even if everyone’s inside at once.

Dining Area: Often blended into the main salon, the dining area uses a sturdy table that comfortably seats 10 adults. Chairs are padded and easy to move. Storage for china, glassware, and cutlery is integrated nearby, with subtle touch-latch doors that keep dishes secure when the boat moves.

Sky Lounge/Upper Deck Lounge: On the next level up, the sky lounge works as a second living room. This is a quieter, smaller space with its own TV, sofa, and sometimes a bar or games table. It can be used for movie nights, board games, or just reading in a less busy spot.

Galley: The galley (kitchen) is practical, with a full-size refrigerator/freezer, induction cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and generous countertop space. Big portholes bring in daylight. There are multiple cupboards and drawers for dry goods, cookware, and utensils. A side door opens straight to the deck, so food and drinks can reach the outside without walking through the salon.

Materials & Fixtures: All cabinets and furniture use engineered wood, lacquer finishes, and brushed metals. Flooring is a mix of wood for most rooms and non-slip tiles in wet areas. Bathrooms use stone, Corian, or marble-style countertops with modern fixtures that are easy to use and clean.

• Lighting: Everything is illuminated with energy-saving LEDs, including accent lights for artwork or wood grain.
• Air Quality and Noise: The insulation keeps the temperature steady and blocks engine noise, wind, or water sounds. Air conditioning is zoned, meaning each area can be set at a different comfort level.

Guest Accommodation and Crew Quarters

Staying overnight on the Grande 32M is not just about having a bed—it’s about privacy, comfort, and practical storage. This model expects to have up to 10 guests in five cabins. Here’s a breakdown:

• Main Deck Master Suite: Located forward on the main deck, the owner’s suite is spacious, with panoramic windows on both sides. The bed is king-sized, and there is good floor space for moving around. You get a walk-in closet, seating area, side tables, and a full en-suite bathroom with a separate shower, two sinks, and a vanity mirror.
• Lower Deck Guest Cabins: Four guest cabins are down a private staircase from the main deck. Two are VIP cabins with queen beds, desk space, and their own bathrooms. Two are twin-bed cabins, which can sometimes be converted to doubles by combining the beds. Again, each has a private bathroom with shower, sink, and storage.
• Crew Quarters: Forward and separate from guest areas, the crew area houses three cabins for up to five crew. They have a crew mess and galley (mini kitchen) for daily needs. Keeping the crew quarters separate means privacy for guests and efficiency for the staff.

All the cabins are fitted with adjustable lighting, plenty of outlets for charging devices, and reading lights at the bed. Windows in all sleeping cabins (except some crew cabins) are fitted with blackout blinds, allowing complete darkness no matter the time of day.

Bathrooms, Storage, and Utility Spaces

Each guest bathroom has a toilet, basin, and enclosed shower with good water pressure. Surfaces are stone or synthetic, so cleaning is fast, and there’s storage both under the sinks and behind mirrors for toiletries. Faucets and fixtures are modern and simple to use.

Storage is hidden in plain sight. There are drawers under the beds, wardrobes with space for hanging clothes, shelves, and cubbies everywhere, including extra storage built into seating and in the hallway outside cabins for spare towels or linens.

The main utility room has a washer, dryer, and air-dryer system. This laundry area is near the crew quarters, which makes sense for daily washing but still means guests can get towels or fresh linen if needed.

Performance: Engines, Range, and Maneuvering Features

Powering the Grande 32M are two MTU 16V 2000 M86 engines, each producing 2,200 horsepower. This strong setup moves the boat up to a top speed of about 26 knots. Normal cruising speed is closer to 20 knots, which is both smooth and quiet for everyone onboard.

The hull’s design, a planing hull made from a mix of GRP (glass-reinforced polymer) and carbon fiber, helps it cut through the water quickly and with less drag. This hull shape is best for quick trips along the coast and for days when you want to move between anchorages without lagging.

The fuel tank holds 16,000 liters, and water tanks carry 2,500 liters. This setup means you can take longer trips away from marinas between refueling and resupplying. There’s also a freshwater maker onboard, which turns seawater into drinking water for those longer voyages.

Stabilizers are fitted to reduce rolling in rougher water, which makes time aboard easier on everyone, especially kids or anyone who isn’t used to life at sea. Bow and stern thrusters mean the yacht can move sideways for easy docking, even if you need to get into a tight slip.

• Key specs:
• Twin MTU 16V 2000 M86 engines, 2,200 hp each
• Top speed: about 26 knots
• Cruising speed: 20 knots
• Fuel tanks: 16,000 L
• Freshwater: 2,500 L
• Advanced stabilizer system
• Bow and stern thrusters for easy docking

Navigation, Controls, and Technology

Driving the Grande 32M is easy thanks to a modern helm fitted with touchscreen controls, radar, GPS, autopilot, VHF, depth sounder, and chartplotters by leading brands. The navigation displays are grouped for easy viewing, and all main controls are electronic and clearly marked.

Electronics aren’t just at the main helm—you also get an outdoor control station on the flybridge for maneuvering in open air. Both areas have repeating displays, meaning you see all the data you need, no matter where you’re steering from.

All fuel, water, battery, and engine systems are monitored with digital screens. This allows you, or your crew, to keep track of consumption, tank levels, and system health in real time.

The onboard Wi-Fi system covers all guest and crew areas. Media can be streamed with a central server feeding the main salon, sky lounge, and every cabin with audio and video on demand.

Key features include:

• Glass cockpit with large, user-friendly touchscreen displays
• Raymarine or Simrad navigation suite (owner’s choice)
• Integrated autopilot, radar, chartplotter, and depth sounder
• VHF and satellite communication for safety
• Digital tank and system monitoring (fuel, water, waste)
• Interior and exterior cameras for security and docking
• Internet connectivity for streaming, work, and staying in touch
• USB charging points and power sockets wherever you might need them

Galley Details and Dining Setup

The main galley is built for cooking full meals for a crowd and is equipped with:

• A full-size refrigerator and freezer
• Four-burner induction cooktop
• Electric oven and microwave
• Dishwasher and double sink
• Plenty of solid surface counter space for prep
• Drawer and cupboard storage for food, utensils, and cookware
• Venting for smoke and odor control
• Non-slip flooring for safe cooking, even when the boat is moving

The galley placement lets crew serve either inside or outside dining areas with minimal disruption. Food can be passed straight to the dining table in the salon or onto the aft deck for eating outside.

The formal dining table seats 10 comfortably and can be set up with all the trimmings. But if you want casual, it easily doubles as a buffet or snack station for games nights or movie marathons.

Bar setups, including wine coolers and additional refrigeration, are optional extras and can fit into the sky lounge or flybridge.

Entertainment and Social Spaces

Where you spend your time on the Grande 32M depends on your mood and the company you’re keeping. Day or night, there are spaces for social gatherings, private chats, and quiet moments.

• Main Salon and Dining: Main area for socializing, games, conversation, and watching TV.
• Sky Lounge: Movie nights, video games, reading, or just quiet time.
• Deck spaces: Main deck aft and bow offer open-air dining, relaxing, and sunbathing.
• Flybridge: Often the heart of the party—can host barbecues, dinners, or just soaking in the jacuzzi (if fitted).
• Swim Platform: Water sports and access to the tender. A great spot for parties or a relaxed breakfast with feet in the water.

Media systems are integrated with speakers in every key space, and TVs are wall-mounted for easy viewing. Wi-Fi is strong enough for group video calls, music streaming, or movie marathons even if everyone is using devices.

Storage, Water Sports, and Toys

This yacht knows what owners want when it comes to fun on the water:

• Tender Garage: Takes a 5-meter tender with a hydraulic launch and retrieval system for safety and ease.
• Swim Platform: Hydraulic, lowers into the water for easy swimming, loading water toys, or just sitting.
• Storage lockers: For inflatables, paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and fishing tackle, with safe latches and waterproof design.
• Deck Showers: Rinse off after a swim—no tracking saltwater indoors.

Planning a typical day? You might take the tender to shore for lunch, set out kayaks for a morning paddle, or spend hours snorkeling from the back deck. This model includes all the practical features to make those activities easy to set up and easy to pack away.

Comfort, Air Quality, and Lighting

Comfort is handled on several fronts:

• Air-conditioning/Heating: Zoning lets each cabin or main area have its own temperature. Preferred settings stay locked in with digital controls.
• Ventilation: Opening windows and skylights in common spaces and some cabins for fresh outdoor air.
• Blackout shades: For daytime naps or privacy at night.
• Insulation: Keeps the temperature steady and blocks engine and water noise.
• Lighting: Energy-saving LED strips, ceiling panels, and reading lights everywhere, all with dimmers for control.

Bathrooms and cabins all have both 120v and 220v sockets so guests from different regions or countries can use devices and chargers easily.

Safety, Security, and Compliance

No compromises are made on safety. Every area is equipped with the right alarms and emergency equipment:

• Fire Systems: Automatic suppression systems in the engine room and portable fire extinguishers throughout.
• Smoke and CO Alarms: Wired into every sleeping and shared area.
• Life Rafts: Sized for all guests and crew, easily accessible near the swim platform.
• Security Cameras: Cover doors, gangways, and outside decks.
• Non-slip Surfaces: On all decks, rain or shine.
• Emergency Exits: Clearly marked and positioned in key locations.
• Navigation and Communications: Satellite phone, VHF radios, and backup handheld radios.

The model is compliant with international rules for construction, navigation, and safety for private yachts of this size. Crew receive their own emergency training as standard.

Utility Systems, Laundry, and Maintenance

Under the floor and behind the walls, lots of practical systems keep the Grande 32M running smoothly:

• Water Makers: Turn seawater into fresh water for drinking, showers, and cleaning.
• Grey/Black Water Systems: Separate storage for sink/shower water and toilets, for responsible disposal in port.
• Laundry: Washer, dryer, and drying racks for guest and crew use; tucked away in the service area.
• Easy Access Panels: Clearly labeled for maintenance and repairs to plumbing, electrics, or mechanics.
• Generator(s): Diesel-powered, with sound proofing for quiet running, supplying electric power for everything on board.
• Onboard Diagnostics: Digital display shows real-time status for major systems, so the crew catch issues before they become problems.

Environmental Care and Efficiency

Azimut aims to make yachts that are responsible stewards of the environment:

• Materials: Mix of carbon fiber and GRP cuts weight for lower fuel use.
• Engines: Modern, with lower emissions and soundproofing to be considerate of neighbors.
• Waste Water: Professionally managed with clear separation for easier, environmentally sound disposal.
• Noise Control: Dampeners keep on-board noise lower so guests and marine life both benefit.
• Lighting: LEDs use less power and last longer, reducing maintenance and battery use.
• Water Makers: Fewer plastic bottles needed on board with on-demand fresh water.

Everyday Living, Guest Experience, and Activities

Life on the Azimut Grande 32M is paced by your plans. Whether hosting a birthday party, relaxing with family, working remotely, or exploring islands, the yacht adapts. Some real examples of how guests use this yacht:

• Family holidays with grandparents, children, and friends, each group finding privacy in their cabins or hanging out on deck.
• Weekend escapes, inviting friends aboard for a quick trip to a favorite bay, with all the water toys ready for use.
• Long summertime voyages, making the most of the fuel and water tank range, stopping at different marinas and harbors on the way.
• Business meetings, with the formal dining area and sky lounge doubling as private spaces for work discussions, calls, or a group meal.
• Quiet getaways for couples, with the master suite and private deck spaces allowing peaceful mornings and sunset evenings.

There are no complicated routines: systems are set up for easy, daily use and the yacht is cleaned and prepared by the crew without needing to disrupt the experience.

Who This Yacht Suits Best

Over the years, owners of the Azimut Grande 32M include families who value privacy and space, executives seeking a working and relaxing environment, and anyone who wants a modern boat without extremes of size. The layout favors people who don’t want to choose between comfort inside and fun outside—the two fit together in this model.

Key owner needs met by the Azimut Grande 32M include:

Crew Experience and Efficiency

The Grande 32M is built for five crew who handle everything from driving to cooking and cleaning. The crew area is separate from guest spaces, with a service staircase so staff can move between kitchens, cabins, and decks without going through guest areas. Daily routines are safer and easier with plenty of room to work, an organized layout, and crew-specific storage for supplies and equipment.

Maintenance, Servicing, and Long-Term Care

Routine maintenance is built into how this yacht is built:

• Service points for engines, generators, and electrics are clear and labeled.
• The hull’s finish holds up well against weather and water, needing only regular cleaning and anti-fouling treatments.
• Diagnostic systems warn of issues before they become problems, from low fluids to filter changes.
• Easy access to plumbing, electrics, and climate control systems means a quick fix is possible in port or even underway by the right team.

This focus on straightforward care helps preserve the yacht’s look and function over the years—important for both enjoyment and eventual resale.

Seasonality and All-Weather Use

Because the Azimut Grande 32M can be used through different seasons and in a range of climates, the infrastructure reflects that:

• Strong insulation and heating keep cold nights comfortable.
• Powerful air conditioning handles warm, humid summer trips.
• Windows and hatches are built to keep water out and withstand rougher weather.
• Deck coverings won’t become too hot in direct sun or too slippery in rain.
