Azimut Shares First Interior Images of the 26m Seadeck 9 Before Cannes Debut

Azimut has released the first official interior images of the first Azimut Seadeck 9, offering an exclusive look aboard the 26-metre motor yacht ahead of its public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026.

The Azimut Seadeck 9 features exterior design by Alberto Mancini, interiors by Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez, and hybrid-ready Volvo Penta IPS propulsion, placing the model within Azimut's Low Emission Yacht family.

A new Pool Deck transforms life at the water's edge

The newly released images reveal the yacht's standout feature: a redesigned 180-degree Pool Deck that evolves Azimut's signature Fun Island concept. Three cascading terraces create a continuous entertaining space stretching from the swim platform to the main saloon, while fold-down terraces, a flush-deck plunge pool, a transformer swim platform and movable sun loungers maximise the connection with the sea. Twin staircases inspired by Mediterranean villas frame the aft deck, reinforcing the yacht's open, resort-style layout.

Interiors designed around light, space and natural materials

Inside the motor yacht, floor-to-ceiling glazing, generous ceiling heights and a disappearing glass door allow the main saloon to flow directly into the aft deck, creating one uninterrupted living space. Interior designers Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez have developed two design schemes featuring either light walnut or pale oak finishes, both centred on natural materials and minimalist detailing. Accommodation includes an owner's suite, a VIP cabin and two guest cabins, with the owner's suite offering a private retreat inspired by contemporary eco-resort design.

Hybrid-ready engineering reduces emissions

As the flagship of Azimut's Seadeck series, the boat showcases lightweight carbon fibre construction with one of the builder's most efficient planing hulls, developed in partnership with Names. The triple Volvo Penta IPS propulsion package is compatible with hybrid electric technology and contributes to fuel consumption and emissions reductions of up to 30% compared with similarly sized yachts using conventional shaft-drive systems. Azimut's Hotel Mode is also integrated, allowing the yacht to operate key onboard systems silently for up to eight hours overnight using a dedicated 60kWh lithium battery pack.

Built for Cannes and beyond

The yacht was launched earlier this year and is now preparing for her public debut at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2026, where visitors will have their first opportunity to step aboard the new flagship Seadeck model. The yacht also represents the largest vessel ever built at Azimut's Avigliana production facility, following the shipyard's €50 million redevelopment programme.
