Ninety-four feet is where most yachts settle into stately. The Azimut S10 refuses: a published 35 knots, an infinity terrace over the stern, and the S series' low carbon silhouette stretched to superyacht length.
Who This Boat Is For
Buy the S10 if you want the fastest way to move 94 feet of yacht — an owner who hosts hard and runs harder. This is a crewed boat with sport-boat reflexes, aimed at the reader who starts a spec sheet at the performance line and works up. Within Azimut's range it is the alternative to the Grande 26M and 27M for exactly that buyer.
The Design
The S10 stretches Azimut's sport line to 94'3" overall on a 20'10" beam and a 6'8" draft, with 2,510 gallons of fuel and 462 gallons of water. The stern carries its signature: an open-air infinity terrace above the beach platform — a second level facing the sea, the private-beach-club moment the rest of the deck plan is built around.
The interior brief is contemporary and low-slung to match the profile: living spaces that open aft toward the terrace and the water rather than closing in around formality. Accommodation runs four cabins and five heads — eight guest berths — with three crew berths in two crew cabins.
Performance
Twin 2,600 hp MTU diesels push the S10 to a published 35-knot maximum with a 28-knot cruise — sport-boat numbers at superyacht length. The planing hull runs 18.5 degrees of deadrise at the stern and 23.8 amidships, and full-load displacement of 213,692 lbs is held in check by carbon fiber through the superstructure. The carbon is the enabling technology here: without it, a 94-footer with this profile does not reach these speeds.
At this scale the sea trial is a process, not an afternoon — run the boat at the speeds you intend to live at and have observed consumption documented on the trial report.
Within the Range
The S10 tops the S series above the S6, S7 and S8 — the point where the sport line reaches crewed-yacht scale without giving up its speed brief. The S8 keeps the sport formula at 80 feet with lighter operations. The Grande 27M trades pace for a main-deck master and more formal crewed living on six fewer feet.
Where to Start
Decide first whether the infinity terrace or the 35 knots is the headline for you — the S10 is one of very few boats where you do not have to choose, but knowing your order of priorities will tell you whether the S8 already covers the brief. Then see it beside a Grande: same builder, same scale, opposite temperaments.
