The Azimut Yachts 47 2008 vs Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 comparison sits squarely in the category of decisions where specs alone won't tell the whole story — intended use, storage, and long-term ownership costs all factor in.

Size is the most obvious dividing line here. The Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 measures 105,0 feet overall (2018), giving it roughly 58,0 additional feet of deck space compared to the Azimut Yachts 47 2008 at 47,0 feet (2008). Weight tells a clearer story for trailering families: the Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 tips the scales at 299 826 lbs — 299 440 lbs less than the Azimut Yachts 47 2008 at 386 lbs. That difference is meaningful if you're working within a half-ton or three-quarter-ton truck's tow rating, especially once you factor in a motor, gear, and fuel.

The power gap is worth calling out. Rated to 2 200 hp, the Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 has a 2 198-hp advantage over the Azimut Yachts 47 2008's 2-hp ceiling — enough to notice on acceleration and at cruising speed, particularly with a full passenger load. Fuel capacity breaks the other way: the Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 carries 4 227 gallons versus 528 gallons in the Azimut Yachts 47 2008. On a lake day that's negligible, but for coastal cruising or long reservoir runs the extra range matters.

For family outings this is probably the sharpest distinction between the two. The Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 is rated for 32 passengers, while the Azimut Yachts 47 2008 caps at 14. If you're regularly pulling extended family or a group of friends onto the water, the extra seats on the Azimut Yachts Grande 32M 2018 could be the deciding factor.
