Azimut Grande 26M Yacht Test Drive, Tour & Review | YachtBuyer

The latest Azimut Grande model elevates expectations of what a 26m, 85ft flybridge can deliver. Five cabins, 30 knots and an extending aft deck are delivered in typically spectacular modernist style.

In this in-depth walkthrough tour filmed at the 2022 Cannes Boat Show, Carl Richardson shows you all of the most important features aboard the Grande 26M (formerly known as the Azimut 26 Metri).

With some big, powerful exterior lines outside, from Alberto Mancini, and cool, relaxed and sometimes quite surreal interior design from Achille Salvagni, the Grande 26M looks and impresses like nothing else in this sector.

Away from the aesthetics, This is the first yacht to sport Azimut’s unique, ZF designed, Large POD 4600 drive system. With a massive 1,650hp going through each drive, we managed to grab some sea trial time to find out how this mighty yacht handles. The headline figures make for enticing reading, with a top speed of 30 knots and fast cruising anywhere from 20 to 25 knots.

That is one lovely boat, I've been watching all your boat tours and test drives, the fact that you do a lot of test drives than other channels on YouTube makes you a unique channel, keep up the good work

[M-ox]

just found your channel and love that you review the boats on the go, not static. Please bring more videos of mega yachts on the move.. many thanks

[timleggott]

Really liking the channel and both of your delivery / presentation styles. YB is now my favourite channel on this subject so thank you. One thing - and although the edit is very well done, smooth & professional looking - you occasionally edit out too much and it’s not always clear to see how each cabin or space connects with the other and to grasp the orientation of everything immediately

You guys are killing it! Just give it time and viewers will surely follow. There are a lot of us dreamers out there. This, by the way, is quite the boat!! 👍

Well done Carl, nice walkthrough video of this Italian superyacht. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions with your viewing public. Ciao from 🇮🇹 Italy. God bless your new channel!!!

[recreationalsoundslab]

Nice design. Congratulations to 3200 Abos. Thats amazing for a new chanel

[svulcans]

vary surprised at all the spaces on board, knocked the showing out of the park. alot to think about . just one question why do yacht builders us what i call funky colors (pastel)? on the beds and furniture? After doing all the great woods and metals it just looks funky to me. thanks for the showing i love it .

[nicbennett]

Great review of a great boat Jack, thanks.

[paroladamoreministries]

Azimut superyachts are just one of many of the very best Italian 🇮🇹 boats built in the world by award-winning architects and designers that have that "Bella" classy 'WOW' factor that set them apart from other superyachts!!!

9:56 Impressive drive units.
Excellent review.

[recreationalsoundslab]

Like your reviews. Interesting addition to Aquaholic as you do more sea trials. I am in love with your blue. Whats that for a blue?

[michaelschneider]

Nice to hear the sound in the different cabins while underway.
Would you please do the same for the Cranchi 67 and 78? That would be highly appreciated

[bikersoncall]

8:03 The deck looks so great when wet,
why do I never see teak on a yacht with
dark stain, so it would look as it does here?

3:57 Especially if there are some love handles there.
Plus, when you're done drinking at the bar you can just lean back and roll into your cabin.

[peterjohnclayton]

Nice boat and decent explanation, but the editing kind of lost the feel of where you were on the boat in relation to other rooms, how to get to them and what the floorplan was etc.

[dagg]

I like how a Swedish Delta or Uttern, a weekender at 8-11meters can accommodate sleeping for 4people.
But these 80-110feet Yachts with 100x the volume and 1000z the dry weight can only have sleeping for 6people 😂
They could with efficient planning and not much smaller cabins easily have 10-12 sleeping.
But waste space with an oversized aft and bow area and a open air sundeck for 30people..
Atleast the 3d fllor could have been half enclosed for another social area and then have two extra cabins in the midsection.
And a smaller mechanical area..

[jamessudek]

What are you talking about not giving the captain a quality helm seat. I watch tons of yacht videos and almost all top brands offer a fantastic helm seat.

[amievil]

OMG she's not just a harbor princess?! Where is the DJ booth? GOOD LORD!!!! a dedicated helm!???

[jfmjfm]

Nice enough, but the absence of a connection between upper and lower helms is a big negative - a deal breaker for some folks including me.
Are you guys not bothering showing engine rooms? Or listing data like tender size, generator power, etc?
