Carpe Diem

A gym instead of a fifth cabin says something about how Carpe Diem is meant to be run: fewer beds, more time spent moving rather than sitting still. Azimut built her in 2023 as part of the Grande 32M series, and she lies in Miami.

Build and provenance

Carpe Diem is a Grande 32M, with exterior styling by Stefano Righini and a research team, and interiors by Salvagni Architetti. Azimut delivered her in 2023, so a buyer takes on a yacht built just a few years ago, still on her original specification.

Layout and accommodation

Nine guests are accommodated across four cabins, one of them fitted out as a gym rather than a fourth sleeping space, and a crew of five run the boat. The owner's cabin sits forward on the main deck, full beam, with its own ensuite. That trade of a cabin for a gym suits a buyer who wants to train aboard rather than fill every last berth with guests.

Performance and engineering

Twin Caterpillar C32 B engines, rated at 2,200 hp each, take Carpe Diem to a 25-knot top speed and a 20-knot cruise, quick enough to close a day's run before lunch is over. Stabilisers hold her steady at anchor, so the gym and the flybridge jacuzzi both stay usable once she stops for the night.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge carries a jacuzzi, and a beach club opens off the stern for swimming. Together with the gym below, they make Carpe Diem a yacht suited to days spent aboard rather than time ashore.

Where she lies and how to see her

Carpe Diem lies in Miami. We set up her viewings and are there for each one, and a survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted. She is also in our charter fleet, running out of Miami into the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos as well as home waters, so a buyer can charter her before deciding to buy, and judge her from time spent aboard rather than a walkthrough alone.
