Azimut Grande 30 Metri Video Review: An Infinity Sky Lounge
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough8 min read
The new Azimut Grande 30 Metri is Azimut's fresh take on a 30 m yacht. We walked a brand new one, starting at the Infinity Sky Lounge, a glass-walled lounge with a full walk-around deck. The aft terrace folds out over the water, the main deck has a salon with dining for 10 and a U-shaped galley, and the full-beam owner's suite sits forward. Below there are four guest cabins, and aft there is a garage for a jet tender and a jet ski.
Azimut's new way to spend time on the water
Everything on this boat starts with the Infinity Sky Lounge. Low lounge beds, a glass house with floor-to-ceiling windows and a deck you can walk all the way around make the top deck the place to be. Inside, the designers layered textures and ran the wood at 45 degrees on floors, carpets and cabinets. Even the stair treads are shaped like the Azimut logo underneath.

The new Grande 30 Metri is built around how people want to spend time on board. The walk-around Infinity Sky Lounge, the aft terrace that folds out over the water and the low furniture everywhere keep you close to the sea. Inside, the design detail is constant, from the guitar pick table to the logo-shaped stairs. With a full-beam owner's suite, four guest cabins and a garage for a jet tender and a jet ski, she is ready for long stays. We did not sea trial her, so we cannot speak to the pods at speed.
