The Seadeck 7 is Azimut’s latest answer to sustainable yachting, marrying hybrid innovation, seamless indoor-outdoor living, and a renewed connection with nature

Step barefoot onto the teak of the foredeck, with the sea humming gently beneath you. There’s no noise, save for the soft rhythmic splash of waves on the hull. The boundaries between interior and exterior of the vessel blur into an open horizon, and a balmy breeze glides through the open floor-to ceiling windows.

In this quiet, easy luxury, lies the very spirit of the Azimut Seadeck 7.

Azimut’s latest answer to sustainable yachting has arrived at a pivotal moment. For the Italian shipyard, 2025 marks a milestone moment for their positioning within Asia, a region increasingly central to the future of the yachting world. And at the heart of this momentum, the Seadeck 7 follows its Seadeck 6 sibling as the second model in the series, and is arguably its most forward-thinking yet.

“The Seadeck 7 expresses Azimut’s ability to propose new lifestyles on board, through innovative layouts and collabrations with internationally renowned designers,” says Enrico Chiaussa, Azimut’s chief commercial officer EMEA-APAC. “Our approach freshly reinterprets traditional canons, placing wellness, experience and the relationship between people on board at the center.”

At first glance, the Seadeck 7’s flowing, open architecture makes its intentions clear. Designed by Alberto Mancini, the exterior styling philosophy embraces Azimut’s “Gentle at Sea” philosophy; expansive outdoor spaces dissolve the boundaries between vessel and sea, with its central feature being the Fun Island. Sea-level lounging quite literally becomes an immersive experience; a reimagined aft terrace stretching down toward the water, framed by a wide staircase and two opening wings, bringing you closer to nature.

In the main salon, the work of Matteo Thun & Antonio Rodriguez takes centre stage. The interior design fuses elevated elegance with quiet environmentalism, using recycled and recyclable materials in a language rarely seen in family motor yachts. Push open the full-height windows and the division between indoor and outdoor disappears entirely. Below deck, four well-appointed–including an en-suite master–await.

Yet underneath all the clean lines and calm aesthetic, the Seadeck 7 stands as a technical first. A leader in its class to feature Volvo Penta’s full-hybrid IPS system, it represents a significant step toward lower-emission cruising. Combined with extensive carbon fibre construction and a newly optimised hull design, the result is a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of up to 40 per cent over the course of an average year, compared to conventional yachts in the same segment.

Options lie between two propulsion variants: twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200s (900 hp) or IPS 1350s (1,000 hp), the latter capable of reaching a top speed of 31 knots, with cruising at up to 23 knots.

Following its debut at the Singapore Yachting Festival 2025, where it earned the title of Luxury Hybrid Yacht Best New Arrival, the Seadeck 7 has most recently received the 2025 Miglio Blue Design Award for its sustainable concept and hybrid propulsion system.

But, accolades aside, the Seadeck 7 positions itself as more than a flashy showcase of innovation or eco-consciousness; it rethinks how we can interact sensibly with the ocean.
