Dream Yacht

Design & Construction

Designed around a semi-displacement GRP hull and superstructure she features a 7.5m beam and a 1.97m draft. The yacht is built over 2 decks with an internal volume of 275 GT (Gross Tonnes).

Exterior Design

Dream is the 2026 evolution of Azimut's Grande 36M, a model conceived to sit between the Grande 32M and Grande Trideck while offering much of the larger yacht's volume without crossing the important 300GT threshold. At 275GT, Alberto Mancini's design packs the accommodation and outdoor living expected of a much larger yacht into a platform that remains simpler and less costly to own and operate under international regulations.

Mancini's profile disguises that volume remarkably well. Long, sculpted hull sides, sweeping black glazing and deeply recessed bulwarks stretch the yacht visually, while carefully modelled surfaces break up the freeboard so the hull appears lower than it really is. From the photograph, Dream's optional Stardust Silver mast and hardtop strengthen that effect, drawing the eye along the yacht's horizontal lines instead of its height. The low visual centre of gravity gives the Grande 36M Evo a distinctly sporting stance despite her substantial beam and five-deck arrangement.

The defining feature is Azimut's Infinity Skydeck. Rather than a conventional raised flybridge with steps and interrupted walkways, the upper deck runs on a near continuous level from aft almost to the bow. This creates easier circulation between social areas while giving the profile one uninterrupted horizontal line. The enclosed skylounge sits beneath the hardtop inside floor-to-ceiling glazing, and electrically operated doors disappear into side pockets so the space converts from enclosed lounge to open pavilion within moments.

Outdoor living extends across several distinct zones instead of concentrating activity in one area. The foredeck provides another lounge with sunpads and seating, the upper deck centres around a custom ceramic dining table for ten, while the sundeck adds a custom bar, Molteni sunbeds, carbon-fibre sunshade system and additional seating for long days at anchor. At the stern, fold-down terraces enlarge the beach club, which Dream upgrades further with a dedicated bar, refrigerator, ice maker, shower and shaded lounging area. The result is several outdoor spaces that remain connected without competing for the same role.

The yacht also demonstrates Azimut's Green Efficiency Programme. PierLuigi Ausonio's D2P (Displacement-to-Planing) hull reduces resistance across a broad speed range, while the carbon-fibre superstructure cuts weight high above the waterline by around 30% compared with conventional construction. Together these measures reduce fuel consumption and emissions while improving stability and helping the yacht transition efficiently between displacement and planing speeds.

Interior Design

Dream's interior follows Azimut's contemporary Italian style but moves well beyond the standard specification through more than US$5.3 million in factory upgrades and bespoke finishes. Large areas of glazing flood both saloons with daylight, while electrically operated doors allow the upper deck lounge to open directly onto the aft terrace, extending the barrierless concept from the exterior into the living spaces.

Natural materials dominate throughout. Listone Giordano Grigio Argilla timber flooring replaces the standard finish, Oxford Roots marble runs through every bathroom, shower and bench, while Alcantara bulkheads, Foglizzo leather detailing, Lealpell trim and custom fabrics replace the standard Burgundy and pink palette with a calmer, more restrained scheme. Bespoke Frigerio sofas, armchairs, rugs and coffee tables combine with Molteni furniture and carefully selected decorative pieces to give the yacht an interior that feels closer to a custom build than a production yacht.

Practical upgrades accompany the cosmetic changes. Electric curtains operate throughout the main and upper deck saloons, the helm receives an upgraded electric Aras seat, additional refrigeration appears in the owner's suite and lower lobby, and the galley gains extra freezer capacity for extended cruising. Four washer-dryers, a wine cooler, crew layout revisions and numerous USB-C outlets also support longer periods aboard.

Technology receives the same attention. Dream carries one of the most comprehensive equipment packages fitted to a Grande 36M Evo, including Furuno's Platinum integrated navigation suite, FLIR thermal imaging, dual Starlink capability, Smart Boat automation and an upgraded audio-visual package. CCTV coverage extends throughout the yacht, while iPad integration allows camera monitoring from portable devices. Docking also benefits from wing control stations, upgraded stabilisers with Dock Mode, an electric stern thruster and additional engine room insulation that reduces noise in guest spaces.

Accommodation

Dream accommodates up to 10 guests in five cabins, with six crew in separate quarters. The owner's suite occupies the forward main deck, where the full beam of the yacht provides generous floor space together with panoramic windows that maintain direct views of the water. Additional sound insulation fitted around the suite improves privacy while under way.

The lower deck arranges four guest cabins around a central lobby. A full-beam VIP, one double cabin and two twins allow the yacht to welcome both families and mixed groups, while folding Pullman berths in the forward guest cabins increase flexibility for children when required. Every guest bathroom benefits from the Oxford Roots marble specification, marble shower benches and upgraded finishes carried throughout the yacht.

Crew circulation remains separate from guest areas, with accommodation for six positioned to support discreet service throughout the yacht.

Performance & Capabilities

Powered by twin diesel MTU (16V 2000M 96) 2,400hp engines, motor yacht Dream is capable of reaching a top speed of 24 knots, and comfortably cruises at 18 knots. Her semi-displacement hull design means she offers a great balance of space and speed.
