Built by Amels in 2006, Lady S is a fully customised motor yacht commissioned by an experienced client who tasked Walter Franchini to design both the interior and exterior of the vessel.

Azimut Grande 35

Azimut’s new flagship, the Grande 35 builds on the Italian brand’s composite skills to deliver a vessel with a unique carbon fibre superstructure and GRP hull combination. The raised pilothouse layout offers the best of interior space and wheelhouse visibility – all wrapped up in a sleek and sporty package.
