Verdict
A stylish 27m flybridge yacht with strong volume for her size, lively performance from twin 1,900hp MANs, and a layout suited to family charter or private use. She is polished rather than cutting-edge, with running costs and complexity typical of a fast semi-custom yacht.
Pros
- +Elegant Azimut styling with contemporary exterior lines
- +Main-deck owner-focused layout and good use of interior volume
- +Twin MAN 1,900hp engines deliver around 28-knot top speed
- +Comfortable cruising pace around 24 knots for a yacht this size
- +5-cabin / 10-guest configuration suits charter and family use
Cons
- −Fuel burn is high at speed, especially near top-end running
- −Comfort and handling depend on sea state; not a soft-riding displacement yacht
- −Interior and systems complexity can mean higher maintenance costs
- −Value is tied to brand and fit-out more than outright efficiency
The Azimut Grande 27M Wave is a 26.78m flybridge superyacht with the model’s signature sporty Italian profile and a carbon-fibre superstructure over a GRP hull. Its proportions give it a sleek look, but the real strength is how much volume Azimut has packed into an 87.8ft platform, including a layout that can sleep 10 guests in 5 cabins.
On the water, this is a fast yacht rather than a long-range cruiser. Publicly reported figures for the Grande 27M family point to twin MAN V12 1,900hp engines, a cruising speed around 24 knots, and top speeds close to 28 knots. That makes her well suited to owners who want quick passage-making and a responsive feel, though fuel consumption rises sharply at higher speeds.
Comfort and livability are major selling points. The design is aimed at private ownership and charter appeal, with strong emphasis on guest accommodation, social deck spaces, and a main-deck owner experience. For the money, she offers a compelling mix of style, pace, and interior space, but operating costs and maintenance will be in line with a modern high-performance yacht of this class.
