30.75m Azimut Leonardo 100 luxury yacht

30.75-metre Leonardo 100 superyacht is the latest new boat project by Azimut Yachts, Italy. Leonardo 100 is a further development of the 98 Leonardo highly improved in 2006 and as at that year delivered in 30 examples. She was launched in Cannes in September. Leonardo 100 is a superyacht with the sleek, sporting lines of an open and the second helm station and relaxation area of a flybridge design.
"The Leonardo 100,” says Francesco Ansalone, head of marketing for Azimut Yachts,”is the first of a new line based on a philosophy of generous social spaces and a genuine continuity between interiors and exteriors. One example is the hanging staircase in the saloon. It leads to the upper deck, so that this no longer creates a separate world, as it does on many yachts. “Azimut Leonardo 100 superyacht features a massive aft deck with a u-shaped sitting arrangement attached to it. The sitting arrangement can also be changed into comfortable sun beds for the guests. Attached to the aft deck is the dinning room, separated by aft doors, which when opened, connects the two spaces to make a wonderful alfresco dinning space.“

There is a nestle two 1630 kW MTUs, powering the yacht to top speed of 32 knots and a cruising speed of 29 knots. Immediately forward there’s the zone comprising galley and crew quarters, a solution that has the advantage of insulating the owner’s cabin amidships from sound and vibration. The other guest cabins, two twins and a forward VIP cabin open onto the central corridor to forward. Although unobtrusive, the flying bridge is a sizeable feature with a round Jacuzzi aft flanked by a sunpad and loungers, while the central section is reserved for socialising, with sofa and table, covered by an original hard top in glass and fibreglass.
