Azimut Grande 25 Metri Video Review: A Floating Penthouse in Carbon
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Azimut Grande 25 Metri is a 26.6 m flybridge yacht with a carbon superstructure and an interior by Achille Salvagni. We walked a 2022 boat in Fort Lauderdale with one owner that has never been chartered. She has a tender garage, an aft deck with a grill, a flybridge with a bar, a second grill and dining for 10, a salon with windows down to the floor, four cabins for eight guests and room for two crew.
Italian design that feels timeless
The Grande 25 Metri is full of thoughtful details. The salon windows drop almost to the floor and the gunwales are cut away, so you see the water when you sit down. Wood curves from the walls into the ceiling, low furniture makes the cabins feel bigger, and bronze-coloured strips run through the leather and wood panels. It feels modern without looking like it will age.
What stood out on board
- Windows down to the floorIn the salon the windows reach almost to the floor and the gunwales are cut away, so you see water all around.
- A grill with a grease guardBoth Kenyon grills, aft and on the flybridge, have a lid that folds up to stop grease spraying.
- A flybridge with optionsA bar, a grill, dining for 8 to 10, a pop-up TV, an electric sunroof and a lounge forward.
- A full-beam owner's suiteLow furniture like a Japanese tatami, a walk-in closet and a teak-lined shower.
- A floating vanityA pivoting mirror rises from the vanity, a detail we had not seen before.
- Three places to driveThe main helm, the flybridge helm and a docking station aft.

The Grande 25 Metri feels like a floating penthouse. The low salon windows, the curved wood and the low furniture make every space feel bigger, and the flybridge gives you plenty of ways to spend the day. Four cabins with their own bathrooms and a separate crew area suit a family with a captain. This boat has one owner, has never been chartered and has been very well kept.
