1 AZIMUT YACHTS INTRODUCES AZIMUT GRANDE 95RPH RAISED PILOTHOUSE. THE NEW HIGH-END MODEL FOR THE UTMOST IN PRIVACY AND COMFORT A new, surprising debut for the Azimut Yachts' high-end Grande Collection: elegant exterior lines and personality-filled design combine with cutting edge technology for an exquisite Italian style that celebrates the collection's distinguished heritage. September It is absolute perfection in design, engineering and comes with the Italian stamp of quality. When technological rigor meets artistic creativity, something really exciting, harmonious and timeless emerges. In this case, the sheer excellence of the final product is the result of extensive experience acquired over 30 years in the business, producing more than 400 boats, each one featuring its own individual style and ability to be customized. Each Azimut Grande is unique; and onboard the 28-metre Azimut Grande 95RPH, every detail has been considered to improve function while keeping the style intact. The uniqueness of this exclusive cruising experience begins with new features introduced by Stefano Righini, responsible for the concept design and exterior lines. The point of departure is the separation of the pilothouse from the main deck through the creation of a half deck. This move increases the space dedicated to the boat owner and guests, maximizing their privacy in relation to the crew. In fact, RPH stands for Raised Pilot-House. All this is accomplished without weighing down the exterior lines and continuing to honor that elegant quality that the Azimut Grande Collection is known for. The raised pilothouse provides more space at the main deck interior both in the generously sized saloon and especially in the owner s cabin; the latter is located to the bow and enjoys panoramic views with full-height windows along the sides. Moving from the cockpit to the saloon, you find an expansive sophisticated space, seamlessly connected to the exterior. The floor-to-ceiling double windows offer the comfort of being able to look out across the horizon for a feeling of total freedom. The relaxation areas and dining areas each comfortably seat 10. 1

2 The flooring in the living spaces is carpet and part gray oak parquet with wenge joints. The saloon has a 55" TV hidden in the ceiling and equipped with a tilt mechanism. The interiors are designed by Studio Salvagni Architetti. They feature an eclectic and contemporary style with every detail produced by master Tuscan craftsmen in precious and exclusive materials. The light that filters through the full-height wood Venetian blinds sculpts the ceiling and door shapes in mahogany, leather, and grey oak. The doors at the main entrance and crew mess are embellished with transparent glass insert screens with silk fabric to give a sense of lightness. In between the screens, the bow bulkhead is clad with raw silk. Much of the furnishing is custom, including the dining table with an organic gold leaf covered form suspended above and the storage units that maximize views to the exterior. The kitchen includes a mahogany dinette with storage column. Mièle appliances come standard. There are LEDs with dimmers and mahogany Venetian blinds throughout the interiors. An elegant and unusual feature is the painted aluminum stair that connects the decks. It is an impressive sculptural element. The steps are backlit honey-colored onyx with leather finish and elegant mahogany handrail. On the lower deck, the lobby recalls the clean lines and soft forms of the saloon and features a light-dark contrast of materials. The layout includes 4 VIP cabins with private baths (as well as an additional day head). Together with the owner suite it sleeps 10. The four-member crew has three cabins and two baths to the bow, with independent access to the kitchen located on the main deck. The cabins also pick up on the theme of forms bathed in light and sophisticated materials. Examples are the headboards with horizontally ribbed leather and an alluring contrast of polished mahogany, raw silk, and teak. The curve of the mahogany nightstands and eggshell finish, wardrobes, and bed transform this space into an almost tactile experience, one that is completely welcoming and relaxing. The magic of the night knows no bounds in the owner suite, starting with its size: a good 34 m 2. This exceptional dimension means the owner can enjoy the comforts of a dressing room with countless storage compartments: two full-height wardrobes, a central bureau, as well as built-in furnishings. The suite is located on the main deck and enjoys an unparalleled view thanks to the picture windows that fill the cabin with daylight. Also flooded with light is the sunken bathroom towards the bow at full beam. 2

3 The shower is clad in teak, while the finishes (including the floor) in tumbled marble with mahogany inserts. The WC area is closed off and separate. All the double beds are equipped with pistons to fold away, and the TVs can be stowed away behind mirrors. The same mood is continued in the bathrooms with curved forms, enriched with contrasting marble and teak statuary. Another special feature of the new Azimut Grande is definitely the exterior spaces. To start with, at nearly 65 m 2, the flybridge is incredibly spacious and "best in class". The boat has a roomy exterior dinette designed to encourage socializing among the guests, corner bar, Jacuzzi, and a comfortable sun pad complete with modular seating that enables many different configuration. The fly can be reached by two stairways, an external one from the cockpit and one which communicates directly with the pilot house amidships, between the piloting station and guest relaxation area. To the stern there is a garage with pivoting platform and davit for a Willliams Dieseljet 445 with automatic inflation system to house a four-meter tender or Jet Ski. The yachtowner can choose to outfit the area aft of the garage as full on beach area. There is another socializing area to the bow: a spacious living area with built-in teak table and manual bimini top. The engine room has two MTU 16V2000 M84 motors which, when combined with the planing hull ( whose design has been developed in collaboration with engineer Pierluigi Ausonio from Studio P.l.a.n.a.) with skeg, provides for significantly improved directional stability, enabling maximum speeds of 26.5 knots and cruising speeds of 20 knots. The 12,000-litre fuel tank and 2,000-litre water tank ensure great range, even for long crossings. For Azimut Grande owners, the journey aboard their own masterpiece begins with the special services devoted exclusively to them: exceptional facilities and a dedicated and receptive team are at the ready to provide assistance. The Grande 95 RPH is the Grande collection's first model since being incorporated into Azimut Yachts, which now has five collections: Atlantis, Magellano, Flybridge, S and - especially Grande. 3
