The Azimut 78 Fly is the flagship model of Azimut’s Flybridge Collection and represents a breakthrough in incorporating superyacht technology into a production yacht under meters. The model is defined by its extensive use of carbon fiber in the superstructure, maximizing onboard space and dynamic stability. It is the result of a fresh design collaboration between Alberto Mancini (Exterior) and Achille Salvagni (Interior), blending high-speed performance with a unique, luxurious, and curvaceous internal aesthetic.
The 78 Fly is a meter ( ) planing yacht built with a GRP hull and reinforced with carbon fiber components, making it significantly lighter and more agile. It is powered by an advanced Triple Volvo Penta IPS Pod Propulsion System, a configuration rarely seen in this class, offering thrilling speeds, superior maneuverability, and optimized fuel efficiency (up to reduction in emissions). The interior, by Achille Salvagni, is characterized by whimsical, elegant curves, free-flowing surfaces, and a bright, open atmosphere. The four-cabin layout is notable for its excellent separation of crew and guest areas, with the galley and crew mess having independent access and being separated from the main saloon for enhanced owner privacy.
