Verdict
The Azimut Grande 27M is a stylish 88-foot raised-pilothouse superyacht that combines strong volume, a 5-cabin/10-guest layout, and fast cruising performance. It is best suited to owners who want Italian design, practical livability, and high-speed capability rather than extreme range or expedition use.
Pros
- +Elegant Azimut styling with carbon-fibre superstructure
- +Five-cabin layout with main-deck master and five heads
- +Strong speed figures: up to 28 knots, about 24 knots cruise
- +Shallow 1.93 m draft helps access more anchorages
- +Large fuel capacity and conventional shaft drive for reliability
Cons
- −Guest capacity is 10, not 12 as sometimes advertised
- −Range is modest compared with slower long-range yachts
- −Roomy for its size, but still a 27 m yacht with limited crew space
- −Performance favors cruising speed over fuel efficiency
The Grande 27M is one of Azimut’s core 27-meter models, with a 26.78 m overall length, 6.59 m beam, and GRP hull with carbon-fibre superstructure. Its profile is sleek and contemporary, and the layout is arranged to maximize usable interior volume for a yacht in this size bracket.
On the water, twin MAN V12 1,900 hp engines give it quick, confident performance for a family superyacht. Public specs consistently put top speed at about 28 knots and cruising speed around 24 knots, with conventional straight-shaft propulsion and a relatively shallow draft of 1.93 m that improves marina and anchorage flexibility.
Comfort is a strong point: the standard arrangement is 5 cabins for 10 guests, with the owner’s suite on the main deck and five bathrooms. Air conditioning and Wi‑Fi are listed, and the platform offers good livability for short to medium cruising, though the crew and storage arrangements remain typical of a 27-meter yacht rather than a larger tri-deck.
In value terms, the Grande 27M competes well if the priority is design, brand appeal, and speed in a manageable footprint. It is less compelling for buyers who want long range or higher guest counts, but it is a well-balanced option for private use and coastal cruising.
