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

The Grande 32M is one of the better-executed yachts in the 100-foot range. The D2P hull works. The carbon construction is real, not cosmetic. The MTU 2,200s are the right engines for this displacement and speed profile. Azimut didn't chase top speed or try to reinvent the wheel. They built a yacht that makes sense for owners who plan to cover distance and stay on board for more than a long weekend. The build quality is consistent with Azimut's recent output, which has improved significantly over the past decade. The RINA compliance option adds resale value in European and international markets.

This boat is for the buyer who has already owned a 70- or 80-footer and knows what they actually need. It's not for the first-time superyacht buyer who wants to make a statement. The 32M rewards experience. The layout is optimized for extended cruising with guests. The fuel efficiency is legitimate. The systems are modern and well-integrated. If you're planning to run the Bahamas, the Caribbean, or the Mediterranean for weeks at a time, the 32M is a strong candidate. If you're planning to dock it in Miami and use it twice a year, buy something smaller.

The resale market for Azimut's Grande series has been stable. The 26M and 27M models have held value better than expected, largely because the D2P hull and carbon construction are recognized as legitimate engineering advantages. The 32M should follow the same trajectory. Maintenance costs are predictable if you stay on top of service intervals and work with qualified MTU technicians. The yacht is complex enough to require professional crew for extended trips, but not so exotic that parts availability becomes a problem. It's a rational choice in a segment where rational choices are rare..

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.
