Quick Verdict

  • D2P fast displacement hull delivers 20-30% better fuel efficiency than traditional planing hulls in the same size class, with a 1,000-nautical-mile range at cruise speed
  • Carbon fiber superstructure reduces weight by 30% and lowers center of gravity, improving stability and handling without sacrificing interior volume
  • Full-beam master suite on main deck with floor-to-ceiling glass and five total guest cabins offers better accommodation layout than most competitors under 110 feet

Our Take

Azimut got serious with the Grande 32M. The D2P hull isn't just marketing—it's a legitimate efficiency play that delivers measurable fuel savings without sacrificing speed. The carbon fiber work is extensive and structural, not cosmetic. Build quality is consistent with what we've seen from the Avigliana yard, and the engineering is sound. The electric stabilizers are a smart choice over hydraulic systems at this size. This is a well-executed yacht, not a concept boat.

This boat is for the experienced owner who values function over flash. If you're coming from an 80-footer and want more space without adding crew, this works. If you plan to run the boat hard—Bahamas, Caribbean, New England seasons—the range and efficiency matter. It's not for the buyer who wants the biggest flybridge or the most exotic interior. It's for the operator who wants a tool that performs. The layout is smart for couples or small families, less ideal for large groups.

Resale will be strong in Europe and Asia, moderate in the U.S. where buyers tend to favor wider beams. Maintenance costs are predictable—Azimut has the dealer network and parts availability. Crew will appreciate the separated quarters and the galley placement. Expect to hold 60 to 65 percent of value after five years if you keep hours reasonable and maintenance current. The Low Emission certification is a genuine differentiator in markets where environmental regulations are tightening. This is a smart buy for the right operator..

Azimut Grande 32M Overview

The Grande 32M is a 105-foot superyacht on Azimut's D2P displacement-to-planing hull: 23'11" beam, 299,826 lbs at full load, GRP and carbon fiber. Stefano Righini drew the exterior, Achille Salvagni Architetti the interior.

With the side garage emptied, the transom opens into a sheltered beach club of nearly 190 square feet — the closest social space to the water on the boat.

Performance & Handling

Twin 2,200 hp MTUs give published figures of up to 27 knots maximum and 21 knots at cruise, from a 4,227-gallon fuel load.

The D2P hull is the efficiency play: a double-chine form with a wave-piercing bow that Azimut credits, together with extensive carbon use, with 20-30% lower fuel burn and CO2 at both slow and fast cruising speeds.

Interior & Accommodations

Five cabins and six heads for owner and guests, with three crew cabins and their own heads. The owner's suite carries full-height windows — front-row sea views and a flood of natural light.

Salvagni's interior curves its bulkheads into the glazing and keeps the palette tranquil; flybridge, main and lower decks complete the plan.

Market Position

At 105 feet the Grande 32M moves past the 26M into full superyacht operation: three crew cabins, a tender garage, a beach club — the infrastructure of yachts a class above.

Within the Grande series it is the middle step between the 26M and the 115-foot 36M.

Who the Grande 32M Is For

Buy the Grande 32M if you are stepping into crewed superyacht life in earnest — five staterooms, a beach club at the waterline and the efficiency of the D2P hull under it all.

The Grande 26M keeps the crew count lighter if 86 feet serves; the 36M adds a fourth crew cabin, a skylounge and long-haul fuel and water capacity.

Owning the Azimut Grande 32M: Operating Costs

The Grande 32M is a crewed yacht with an efficiency edge — the D2P hull quietly discounts every mile you run:

  • Fuel: roughly 140 to 170 gallons per hour at the 21-knot cruise with the twin MTU 2200s. The fast-displacement hull is 20 to 30 percent kinder than a planing 105-footer, and it keeps rewarding you as you slow down — 1,000-mile legs are the design point.
  • Annual upkeep: plan on roughly 10 percent of the yacht's value per year all-in. At 105 feet the budget has three big pillars: crew, dockage, and engineering — in that order.
  • Crew: a captain plus two is the working program (quarters for three). Salaries, insurance, and provisioning belong in the annual plan from day one.
  • Engine program: MTU 2200s on authorized service. Hour-based majors are significant events — know where the boat sits in the interval before you buy, and price accordingly.
  • Dockage: 110-foot berth class. In South Florida, plan the annual contract early; berths this size are the scarce commodity, not the boat.
  • Carbon superstructure: paint maintenance on carbon areas is specialist work — fold a paint survey into the five-year plan.

What to Look For in a Grande 32M

  • Position in the MTU service interval. The distance to the next major is real money; make it part of the price conversation.
  • Full engineering survey — chilled water, hydraulics, stabilizers, watermakers. At this size the systems are the boat.
  • Stabilizer service history — at-anchor comfort is a headline feature; verify the hardware behind it.
  • D2P hull bottom condition at haul-out — the efficiency story depends on a clean, fair bottom.
  • Paint survey on the carbon superstructure — gloss meters do not lie; repairs are premium work.
  • Crew turnover history. A boat that kept its crew was maintained by people who knew it; frequent turnover is a soft red flag worth asking about.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is the Azimut Grande 32M?

The Grande 32M measures 105 feet overall with a 23-foot 11-inch beam, a 6-foot 2-inch draft, and full-load displacement of about 300,000 pounds. Fuel capacity is 4,227 gallons and water capacity is 581 gallons.

How fast is the Azimut Grande 32M?

Up to 27 knots flat out and up to 21 knots at cruise, powered by twin MTU 2,200 hp diesels. The fast-displacement hull is the key: it keeps efficiency high across the speed range instead of punishing you for slowing down like a pure planing hull.

Does the Grande 32M need professional crew?

Yes — at 105 feet with dedicated quarters for three crew, the Grande 32M is built for crewed operation. What you get in return is superyacht accommodation, 1,000-mile range, and a main-deck master, in a package with lower running costs than larger flagships.

What makes the Grande 32M fuel efficient?

Its D2P fast-displacement hull delivers 20 to 30 percent better fuel efficiency than traditional planing hulls in this size class, and the carbon fiber superstructure trims weight by about 30 percent. Together they produce a 1,000-nautical-mile range at cruise speed.

How many guests can sleep aboard the Grande 32M?

Ten guests in five cabins with six heads, headlined by a full-beam master suite on the main deck with floor-to-ceiling glass, plus quarters and heads for three crew. It is a stronger accommodation layout than most competitors under 110 feet.

What is the range of the Azimut Grande 32M?

About 1,000 nautical miles at cruise speed, thanks to the D2P fast-displacement hull and 4,227-gallon fuel capacity. That is Bahamas, Keys, and Caribbean cruising on your schedule rather than the fuel dock's.
