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.

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. At the same time, the up-and-down TV system divides it from the pilot house, making this feature multi-purpose where guests can enjoy entertainment in unity or use this innovative divider for privacy.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/167517/image/large-4fb38cdbb346a5c3de3366818f0b104e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/167517">This main deck is configured across four guest suites on the lower deck: an aft full-beam master stateroom, a full-beam VIP suite located forward, and two twin suites amidships, one of which features sliding beds that can be converted into a double bed.The aft, fore cockpits, and flybridge house the sunbathing areas, which include a 12,000-Watt stereo system to create memorable moments onboard. The leisurely play continues in the form of water toys. The yacht s fitted with a large aft garage that stores two Jet Skis, which can be easily lowered into and recovered from the water thanks to a slide system.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/167514/image/large-d00551cce3612fe084f7920cbeb238e4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/167514">The AB 80 is this year's first <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1205" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="AB Yachts (Company)">AB Yachts&nbsp;</a>model built for the American market.

All features that reflect our core mission: to stir emotions".&nbsp;
