Azimut Seadeck 7

Following its US debut at this year’s Palm Beach International Boat Show in March, Azimut’s Seadeck 7 had its Asia-Pacific premiere at the third Singapore Yachting Festival, held at ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove from April 10-13. The 71ft flybridge model, which followed the Seadeck 6, was first shown at last year’s Cannes Yachting Festival.

Designed to provide “a gentler way of experiencing the sea”, the Seadeck 7 enjoyed extra publicity in Singapore after it won the Motoryacht 21-24m category at this year’s Yacht Style Awards, which was held at the marina’s Constellation Ballroom on the eve of the Singapore Yachting Festival.

The Marine Italia dealership co-hosted Azimut’s in-water line-up at the four-day show, which also included the Magellano 60 and the Grande Trideck, Azimut’s 38m flagship, which already has two units in delivered in the region and another to arrive in the coming months.

However, it was the Seadeck 7 that enjoyed much of the attention, with the model honoured for its ‘Fun Island’ beach club, conceived by exterior designer Alberto Mancini, and eco-friendly materials selected by interior designers Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez.

With an efficient dual-mode hull by NAMES, reduced weight due to extensive use of carbon-fibre, and Volvo Penta’s first hybrid version of its IPS (inboard propulsion system), the Seadeck 7 “allows an attentive owner to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 40 per cent over an average year of use”, according to Azimut.

Enrico Chiaussa, Azimut Chief Commercial Officer EMEA-APAC, said: “The Singapore Yachting Festival is the ideal stage for us to present the Seadeck 7, an expression of Azimut’s ability to propose new lifestyles on board, through innovative layouts and collaborations with internationally renowned designers. Our approach freshly reinterprets traditional canons, placing wellness, experience and the relationship between people on board at the centre.

“Asia is now one of the most dynamic areas on a global level. Our owners in APAC demonstrate a strong bond with the brand’s values and a growing focus on proposals oriented towards greater sustainability. We are certain that this new model will be enthusiastically welcomed in a region where Azimut continues to strengthen its leadership by gaining new market shares.”

Upcoming brand activities in the region include the first Azimut Asian Rendez-Vous, which will be held in Tokyo.
