Silvia

Twenty-two knots at a cruise, twenty-nine flat out: the Grande 30M is built to move as well as to live aboard. Azimut delivered her, as Silvia, to her original owner in 2018, and she has had that same owner since, specified for long stays rather than for the largest possible guest count.

Build and provenance

Silvia is a 29-metre flybridge motor yacht with a monohull, delivered in 2018, and at 124 gross tons she puts her volume into a genuinely private owner's suite rather than extra cabins. Stefano Righini drew her exterior and Salvagni Architetti her interior, and she has stayed with her original owner and specification since delivery, described as carefully maintained throughout, which for a buyer at survey means a consistent record rather than gaps to piece together.

Layout and accommodation

Six guests sleep across three cabins. Azimut reduced the cabin count on purpose, using the space instead for a split-level owner's suite with its own lounge, office space and dressing area, a rare layout at this length. Four crew run the boat, quartered separately from that owner's deck, and the trade of cabin count for space suits a couple or family who want room over headcount.

Performance and engineering

Two MTU engines at 2,400 hp apiece drive her to that 22-knot cruise and 29-knot top speed, with a stated range of 750 nautical miles. That pace suits a buyer who wants to reach an anchorage quickly, using the boat over long weekends and short hops rather than extended ocean passages.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge carries a dining area, a bar, a barbecue and a hot tub under an automatic bimini, built as the social deck for afternoons at anchor and evenings under way. Forward and aft decks add further sunpads, so guests can move with the sun rather than stay in one spot all day.

Where she lies and how to see her

Silvia lies in Venice. Boatcrowd will put together a viewing there and join you for it, and once an offer is accepted we bring in a surveyor and organise the sea trial before anything is signed off.
