The new Seadeck series from <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/358" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut Yachts (Company)">Azimut</a> is a range of family-oriented hybrid motoryachts that the Italian brand says will reduce C02 emissions by up to 40 percent over a year of average use compared to a traditional flybridge boat of similar dimensions. Comprising a 60-, 70- and 80-foot model, the first 60-foot unit will debut in 2024.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261627/image/large-c9675d1f425a7d267c9e9fc604eec811.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261627">From a technological standpoint, the Seadeck series is the culmination of Azimut’s 20-year drive to implement sustainable innovations. Over half of Azimut’s fleet is now made up of what the Italian builder terms Low Emission Yachts that reduce CO2 emissions ahead of the IMO’s 2030 deadline through a combination of three factors: weight reduction by extensive use of carbon fibre, efficient hull design and hybrid propulsion systems. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261625/image/large-df9cf516adca64bad1766415ca5f1516.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261625">“When we started work on the Seadeck project we asked ourselves what were the necessities required by more environmentally-conscious yachtsmen,” says Federico Lantero, head of product design at Azimut Yachts, during a press presentation in Milan under the slogan ‘Back to Nature’. “We identified three key points: we definitely had to reduce emissions; we had to introduce more sustainable materials; and we had to create a boat designed for family cruising that allowed those on board to enjoy the sea in a very direct and authentic way.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261626/image/large-a9f9acdbf1b90d13e73ac801ca8528fc.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261626">In fact, the Seadeck will be powered by a Volvo Penta IPS hybrid system to target a 30 percent reduction in fuel consumption, over 40 per of the surface areas will be constructed of carbon fibre, and the planing hulls will be the most efficient ever built by Azimut. In Zero Emission Hotel Mode a battery pack will provide electrical power for amenities, stabilisation and even AC, for up 4 hours at anchor during the day or 8 hours at night with the generators switched off.Other eco-friendly features include solar panels to supplement the battery pack, hot water provided by recovering thermal energy from the main engines, &nbsp;and environmentally-friendly cork for the decking in place of teak. &nbsp;A smart energy management system ensures that in Eco Mode all the appliances and onboard systems consume as little energy as possible. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261632/image/large-ea91b1a36b62d9b7b03edbeed9c8cd0e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261632">Moreover, the new series introduces a new design concept in open-air living: the Fun Island, a space re-invented to offer a new way to spend family time on board immersed in nature. An evolution of Benetti’s Oasis Deck, this is achieved by using more large, openable glass windows and doors to create interiors and exteriors that become a single space so guests can interact wherever they might be on board.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261628/image/large-43e565f5bcaea385a777bebf4da0e13f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261628">To create the Seadeck Series, Azimut worked with designer Alberto Mancini for the exterior design and layout, and architects Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez for the interior design. The naval architecture and engineering is by Azimut-Benetti’s own technical department and Centre for Research &amp; Development. &nbsp;“The Seadeck series represent a new chapter in our product development history,” says Giovanna Vitelli, Chairperson of Azimu-Benetti Group. “It is the synthesis of the group’s know-how and state-of-the-art technology to lower the environmental impact of our yachts. ‘Sustainability’ is a word that is sometimes abused, but it’s a concept we have been consciously working on for more than two decades - not just in the last couple of years since the expression has became fashionable.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261629/image/large-5979fa89158bb18087ef5c738fd1a523.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261629">Vitelli went on to explain that much of this specialist knowledge has trickled down to smaller yachts from its superyacht projects such as 65-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/607" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Ambrosia65.0m (213'3&quot;)Benetti SpA2006">Ambrosia</a>, one of the first diesel-electric yachts in 2006, and 107-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/5856" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luminosity107.6m (353'0&quot;)Benetti SpA2020">Luminosity</a>, the world’s largest hybrid diesel-electric yacht.Read:&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Article/57093" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Giovanna Vitelli named Chairwoman of Azimut|Benetti Group (2023-03-07 15:15:00 +0100)">Giovanna Vitelli named Chairwoman of Azimut|Benetti Group<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261630/image/large-ac7a9cb747008d9ef4e4cbf8d3de2891.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261630"></a><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261631/image/large-fd9c1cee8f2f7508b2201a32f73e5ab7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261631">The Seadeck 6 will be presented at boot Düsseldorf 2024, with the Seadeck 7 and 8 to follow between 2024 2025.

Additional exterior features showcase a larger pool aft for guests to use; this will sit above the deep bathing platform, which dramatically extends when the two bulwarks are folded down, creating twin balconies just above the sea. This has been likened to a private beach resort by the Turkish shipyard and is a notable revelation.&nbsp;Internally, the interior space will feature a unique owner’s suite with a private patio cocooning the owner's exclusive deck, which is highlighted as “the pearl of these yachts, particularly onboard the 42-metre and 50-metre” , says <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4304" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Luca Vallebona (Company)">Luca Vallebona.</a> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260643/image/large-7e2f3e63d9eb7c2cf86c86d2cb0a183d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260643">This private space expanding the owner’s suite will be adorned with soothing plants and receives natural light from above and from the side.

The Dutch shipyard has also succeeded in eliminating mullions around the helm for undisrupted 360-degree vision. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/260294/image/large-36f5d4becbf99f5a9dd0bccecec4a212.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/260294">“Even the rarest and most beautiful products evolve, and the Zeelander 5 is a case in point,” said founder and owner Sietse Koopmans.“The brand’s timeless aesthetic remains as appealing as ever, but we have had the opportunity to reimagine what that means.

Performance wise, her maximum speed can reach over 55 knots and she has a cruising speed of 45 knots, with the ability to cruise in shallow waters and deliver on performance with her impressive manoeuvrability so that the owner can enjoy her for long cruises or as a luxurious day boat while keeping the consumption extremely low thanks to her construction and propulsion.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/167515/image/large-23cf08feaa44ec29e7a1390e60da0ad7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/167515">Every interior onboard aspect of AB 80 has been custom-designed and fitted out by Centro Stile. The AB 80 layout is practical; the galley is fitted with heavy-duty appliances and is located on the main deck, which opens, on one side, onto a dining area with the capacity to seat eight guests.Thanks to fully conceivable sliding doors, the result is a uniquely versatile space, ideal not only for alfresco dining and enjoying sports viewings on the expansive TV screen installed in the saloon. &nbsp;A comfortable bespoke sofa completes the lounge area.

Another key feature onboard is her aft pool with euro-transom and full-beam hydraulic swim platform.“The 37XP’s beach club and garage have been replaced with a pool and a full-beam hydraulic swim platform – it’s very on-trend at the moment to maximise exterior elements on sub-45 metre yachts, but what the 40MXP does so well is adding fantastic outdoor living features to the design while retaining the core explorer principles of our XP line," Ömer Malaz, Chairman of Numarine, explained. "I am very happy since both owners who signed contracts to build the 40MXP are repeat clients, which means we are doing everything the right way.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258939/image/large-aedd3ef6f66d9852bc52993b6a861ee9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258939">“The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1088" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Numarine (Company)">Numarine</a> 40MXP is an advancement of the 37XP, where we saw a demand for ease of access to the water with a casual entertaining space on the aft section of the main deck,” commented Alex G Clarke. “This design focuses on exactly that so we have replaced the beach club/garage on the 37XP with an inviting pool and complimented the space with a full-beam hydraulic swim platform.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/258940/image/large-d178423f01a06a5e2687e6a1ec53307c.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/258940">The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1088" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Numarine (Company)">Numarine</a>40MXP is able to accommodate up to 12 guests across six staterooms and features an eight-metre beam.

Mulder announces sale of two in-build Mulder ThirtySix motor yachts

Francois Zuretti is one of the elder statesmen of yacht design. In a rare interview opportunity, SuperYacht Times was invited to visit his home and studio in the south of France.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/251947/image/large-a36ab6a395be1d60a171671d61215df0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/251947">Modest, unassuming and a little shy, Francois Zuretti may be one the most prolific and distinguished names in the world of superyacht design, but he likes to keep a low profile. In fact, our recent video profile of the French interior designer was the first of its kind, period. Not that he is in need of the publicity, having worked with all the top shipyards on some of the largest superyachts afloat.Zuretti began his design career in the mid-‘70s with&nbsp;Triad Condas, a Paris-based company specialising in the interior design of Middle Eastern palaces, which led to him working for the King of Morocco. He set up his own studio in 1987, first in Geneva before moving to Nice to be closer to his yachting clients on the French Riviera. Interestingly, he chose not to relocate to Monaco, not least because he wanted his company to retain its distinctly French identity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/207091/image/large-d9a7f07880c0f54ee7b05372ceeb1db7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/207091"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/13573/image/large-0c51f21446e9cbaee949065f50e04469.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/13573">Zuretti’s first yacht interior was for Eco (now <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/901" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zeus74.5m (244'5&quot;)Blohm & Voss GmbH1991">Zeus</a>), the iconic 75-metre motor yacht designed by Martin Francis and delivered by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/3" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Blohm & Voss GmbH (Company)">Blohm + Voss</a> in 1991.

Zuretti’s personal tastes could not be more different and are best reflected in his own home, which he designed himself. Decidedly modernist and rational, the stunning building is set into the hills between Cap-d'Ail and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/174091/image/large-ad1b7760b6be3a55da0ed04ceb3dfb13.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/174091">“Tastes have changed over the past 20 years, but the market has changed more,” says Zuretti from a sitting room with stunning views of the coast through floor-to-ceiling windows. “New clients have brought new developments. Before my clients had a stronger relationship with the sea, the boats were smaller and people were closer to the water. Life aboard a 45-metre yacht is centred around the sea, but on a 150-metre superyacht you need other activities like spas and cinemas. We’re working on a project at the moment that has a full-size tennis court, for example.

A civil architect and designer, but also a naval architect and passionate sailor, it is Sebastien’s job to manage a team that has up to a dozen superyacht and residential projects on the go at any one time.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261469/image/large-f07ee8303e98a7c24f4cbff8ad5e5c31.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261469">“To offer the best quality you need the best team,” says Sebastien. “We have very talented designers, architects and project managers. We create all our own renderings in-house, and we have the best people for that as well. Managing all these people and bringing them together to realise projects for our clients is challenging, but a talent we need to have as a company is to find the right people and build a good team.”The residential and yacht design teams worked in separate offices, but a few years ago it was decided to bring them together to encourage the exchange of skills and ideas (Zuretti explains, only half-jokingly, that the move also avoided petty in-house rivalries as the yacht designers were prone to think of themselves as a cut above their residential design colleagues). Since the beginning, however, the company has remained true to its name and avoided the temptation to expand into designing yacht exteriors. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261468/image/large-0a0c6af22bd2981b49240226df114d60.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261468">“The temptation is always there, of course,” says Sebastien, “but we are most successful when we work with the best exterior designers. We try to be the best for the interiors, so the combination means we can create the best project for our clients.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261467/image/large-9cc7a2078af026e6b7d4c7378fbbf676.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261467">A custom interior is the result of an owner’s personal taste and the designer’s creative vision, but whatever a client’s preferred style, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/67" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuretti Interior Design (Company)">Zuretti Interior Design</a>aims to bring to each project what Sebastien calls ‘veracity’, or a thorough understanding of the chosen style.“We’ve worked on very classic and very contemporary, even minimalist, interior designs,” he says. “In each case, you have to approach the project firstly with passion, but also with knowledge. So we thoroughly study a particular style to capture its reality. Of course, it may have to be adapted to suit the spaces and dimensions, but we’re always looking for veracity – this is very important.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261465/image/large-92fbebb785ce71627038cd6797c9d0b3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261465">One of Zuretti’s sons, Matthieu, works in the company as procurement director &amp; quality manager. His job was made especially difficult when Covid precautions made it more difficult to meet in person with suppliers, and the challenges continue post-pandemic at a time when supply chains are so unpredictable.“Two thirds of our meetings need to be face-to-face, because you have to see the materials and see how something works.,” he explains. “Pictures or videos can never give you the same feeling you get by opening the door of a cabinet, when you can feel if it works smoothly or there is something rattling inside. You need to be on site to control the quality.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/261466/image/large-92717969b1d93f562038b141e8b30e38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/261466">After more than 30 years in the business and now aged 70, Zuretti is looking to take a step back and prepare Matthieu and Sebastien to take over the running of the business – by no means a straightforward task for someone addicted to design that finds it hard to delegate. A new office in Dubai has been tasked with developing the Middle Eastern market and the firm is growing its superyacht clientele in the Americas. Having designed so many custom furniture pieces over the years, the studio is also pondering its own branded line of high-end furniture. &nbsp;“I have so many stamps in my passport from around the world, but each of those represent a day or two spent with a client,” he says. “I was always too busy to explore the countries I’ve been to, so now I’d like to enjoy life a little more. I think I still have a lot to offer my team, but I have to learn to leave them alone to create the Zuretti of tomorrow. I’m already surprised sometimes at what a great job they do without me!”This article was originally published in&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/yacht-news/superyacht-times-issue-43-newspaper-launched" target="_blank">Issue 43 of SuperYacht Times newspaper</a>.&nbsp;To read more stories like this one and to never again miss another issue of the SuperYacht Times newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://shop.superyachttimes.com/report/the-superyacht-times-subscription" target="_blank">subscribe here</a>.
