Quick Verdict
- Full-beam master on main deck with better storage and layout execution than most competitors in the 110 to 120-foot range
- 1,000-nautical-mile range at 18 to 19 knots gives you Bahamas, Keys, and Caribbean flexibility without constant fuel planning
- Resale support and parts availability in the U.S. market are stronger than Sunseeker or Mangusta, with lower operating costs than Ferretti 1000
Our Take
The Grande 36M is one of the more honest boats Azimut has built in the past five years. The build quality is solid, the engineering is conservative, and the layout reflects real input from owners who actually use their boats. The MTU package is reliable, the hull is proven, and the systems are straightforward enough that you are not going to spend your life troubleshooting proprietary electronics. This is not a boat that will wow you on paper, but it will quietly outperform your expectations after 100 hours of use.
This boat makes sense for the buyer who runs 30 to 60 days per year, keeps a small crew, and prioritizes comfort and layout over speed or brand prestige. It does not make sense for the buyer who wants to be the center of attention at the dock or who plans to run it hard in open ocean conditions regularly. It is a coastal cruiser with enough range to be useful and enough space to be comfortable. If that matches your use case, it is one of the better options in the 115-foot range.
Resale on Azimut has been stable in the U.S. market, and parts availability is better than most European builders. Maintenance costs are predictable if you stay on top of the schedule, and the boat holds value well if you keep it clean and documented. The Grande 36M is not going to appreciate, but it will depreciate slower than a Sunseeker and cost less to maintain than a Ferretti. That is the reality of ownership at this level, and this boat handles it better than most..

Owning the Azimut Grande 36M: Operating Costs
The Grande 36M is a full superyacht program, and honest budgeting is what keeps it a pleasure instead of a surprise:
- Fuel: roughly 150 to 180 gallons per hour at the 18-to-19-knot cruise with the twin MTU 2200s. The 5,020-gallon capacity is what turns that burn into 1,000-mile Bahamas and Caribbean legs without fuel-stop planning.
- Annual upkeep: plan on roughly 10 percent of the yacht's value per year all-in. Crew is the largest line, followed by dockage, insurance, and the engineering program.
- Crew: quarters for four — captain, mate, stew, and chef or engineer depending on how you cruise. Recruiting and retaining a good crew is the highest-leverage money in the whole budget.
- Engine program: MTU majors are scheduled, significant events. Know the boat's position in the interval and let it inform price — this is standard practice at this level, not hardball.
- Dockage: 120-foot berth class with a 24-foot 7-inch beam. Annual berths this size in South Florida are scarce; secure the berth before the boat if you can.
- U.S. support advantage: Azimut's parts and service network stateside is a genuine cost and downtime advantage over lower-volume European competitors — one of the quiet reasons the 36M pencils better than its rivals.
What to Look For in a Grande 36M
- Full engineering survey by a superyacht-experienced surveyor — systems depth defines this boat: chilled water, hydraulics, stabilizers, watermakers, automation.
- MTU service position and oil analysis on both engines.
- Stabilizer and thruster service history — comfort and close-quarters systems earn their keep daily at this size.
- Main-deck master condition — the full-beam suite is the boat's crown; storage, finishes, and glazing should survey like a fine home.
- Crew and maintenance logs. A well-run 36M has paperwork to match; thin logs on a boat this size are a finding, not a quirk.
- Charter registration history. Charter is common and can offset costs — but verify how hard the program ran and price the wear honestly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of the Azimut Grande 36M?
About 1,000 nautical miles at an 18-to-19-knot cruise. That covers Florida to the Bahamas, the Keys, and Caribbean legs without constant fuel planning — the difference between a boat that visits the islands and one that lives in them.
How does the Grande 36M compare to Sunseeker and Ferretti?
In the U.S. market the Grande 36M holds two practical advantages: stronger parts availability and resale support than Sunseeker or Mangusta, and lower operating costs than the Ferretti 1000. For an owner keeping the boat stateside, those differences compound every season.
How big is the Azimut Grande 36M?
The Grande 36M measures 115 feet 9 inches overall with a 24-foot 7-inch beam, a 6-foot 6-inch draft, and full-load displacement of about 377,000 pounds. Fuel capacity is 5,020 gallons and water capacity is 977 gallons — genuine superyacht scale.
How fast is the Azimut Grande 36M?
Up to 24 knots with twin MTU 2200 hp engines (2400 hp optional), with an efficient cruise at 18 to 19 knots. In this size class the cruise number is the one that matters — it sets your range, your fuel bill, and your passage planning.
Does the Azimut Grande 36M require professional crew?
Yes. At 115 feet with quarters for four crew, the Grande 36M is designed for crewed operation. The payoff is a main-deck owner's suite, five-cabin capacity, and 1,000-mile legs run by professionals while you actually enjoy the trip.
How many guests can sleep aboard the Grande 36M?
Ten guests in five cabins with six heads, including a full-beam master on the main deck, plus quarters for four crew with four crew heads. The main-deck master's storage and layout execution beat most competitors in the 110-to-120-foot range.
