The 38.2m long and 7.9m wide, the Azimut Trideck is not only the new flagship of Azimut Yachts, as well as the first triple-decker and the largest boat ever built by the shipyard, but even the new symbol of the brand’s innovative DNA.

The Trideck proposes a revolutionary layout, both indoors and outdoors, to create new spaces more congenial to the demands of contemporary owners, increasingly inclined to a less formal lifestyle onboard and closer contact with the sea – all with a gross tonnage below 300 GT and two possible configurations for five or six guest cabins.
Trideck fore lounge area
The exterior design was penned by Alberto Mancini. With a modern stylistic language also seen in car design, Mancini lightens the external lines, restoring a feeling of dynamism, a difficult task considering the vast internal volumes on this 38m yacht.
Trideck private patio
The designer sculpted the hull with a rib that starts from the stern, at the height of the exhausts and extends to the bow, moving and giving tension to the profile. The fairleads themselves are styled and incorporated to enrich the design.
Trideck upperdeck terrace
The Trideck has three decks + One, offering a new space, an extra deck at the stern that fits among the traditional ones. It is the sea view terrace, a floating aft deck of 30 sq m that seems to remain suspended in the air, two meters above the water.

In addition to the sea view terrace, the other spaces overlooking the sea are: the sunbathing area on the sundeck; the main outdoor dining area on the upper deck; and the beach area.

The interior is made by Achille Salvagni. The designer fully embraces the cause of the shipyard: to offer the market a redefinition of the role of space, giving new functionality to the onboard environments.
Trideck main salon
Salvagni works on two levels: function and style. First of all, he carries out a functional rethinking of the interior spaces, for which he abandons the preconceived functions of each area. The goal is to transform the yacht into a place where the owner can live without constraints, in a more liquid and accommodating space.
Trideck main salon
It follows naturally to move the main indoor dining area from the main deck to the upper deck: a solution that fully dedicates the main deck to a more relaxed, successful social area.
Trideck upperdeck lounge dining
Salvagni does not limit himself to redefining the environments onboard, but also enriches them through a close attention to décor, favoring the tension between forms and the purity of the line, abandoning any ostentation at the same time.

By virtue of this principle, Salvagni has designed every single piece of furniture on board, choosing to remove the superfluous and let the pleasures of touch and shape give the living areas an ambience of wellbeing.
Trideck owner suite
The perceived quality of the environment in its entirety is of the highest level, thanks to a skillful combination of materials, colors and finishes.

Designed by Pierluigi Ausonio together with the Azimut-Benetti Research and Development Department, the hull benefits from proprietary CFD software, FEM analysis and form optimizations to yield unrivaled results in terms of efficiency. The Grande 35Metri, featuring the first generation D2P hull was already best in class, and the second generation debuted on the Trideck with substantial improvements.

Despite being 3 meters longer, 30 GT larger and 35 tons heavier, the Trideck consumes fuel at the same rate as her smaller sister at all speeds above 19 kn, and manages to be 15% more efficient at a cruising speed of 15 kn. To put these results in context, when compared with a traditional hard chine hull, the improvement in displacement fuel efficiency reaches over 40%.
Trideck beach area
Grande Trideck has a dual-motor option, with a pair of MTUs of 2400 or 2600 hp each. The first model under test, with an engine of 2600 hp, recorded a maximum speed of 24 knots, a range of 700 miles at 19 knots and, at a cruising speed of 12 knots, an autonomy of over 1700 miles.
