Azimut Fly 78
About this yacht
The Azimut Fly 78 represents a defining achievement in flybridge motor yacht design—a 23.64-meter powerboat that delivers the spatial generosity of larger vessels while preserving the dynamic performance of smaller cruisers. In production since 2019, this planing yacht reaches speeds up to 31 knots with a draft of just 1.77 meters, combining carbon fiber and fiberglass construction with CE (A) certification for offshore capability. What distinguishes the Fly 78 from conventional flybridge yachts is its revolutionary approach to onboard organization. This is the first motor yacht in its category to fully partition the galley and crew areas from guest spaces, creating an unprecedented level of privacy. The crew quarters sit beneath the bow, with the wheelhouse and galley positioned forward on the main deck behind a sliding door. A dedicated side entrance allows crew movement without crossing guest areas—a feature typically found only on considerably larger vessels. The flybridge unfolds across three distinct zones. Forward, a superstructure-wide sunbathing area offers open-air relaxation with commanding bow views. Amidships, an American bar and adjacent dinette remain shaded beneath the hardtop. The aft section adapts to your preferences—configure it with additional sunpads, counter-facing sofas, or a double American barbecue setup. Below, the bow lounge divides into complementary spaces that maintain visual connection. The aft portion features a sofa and folding coffee table facing a counter-positioned seating row, while forward, waterfront sunbeds accommodate three. The main saloon reimagines traditional layout conventions entirely. Beyond the standard lounge-dining separation, the Fly 78 offers a Full Lounge configuration where the forward coffee table transforms to create formal dining for eight when occasions demand it. Alberto Mancini's exterior design appears sculpted from motion itself. Advanced composite production techniques allowed experimentation with hullside shaping that plays with light and shadow throughout the day. Handrails flow organically from the body, defining a cohesive design language where form follows movement. The interior represents the complete vision of architect Achille Salvagni, who conceived every element—from structural architecture to minute details—as part of a continuous flow. Soft, smooth shapes combine with seemingly suspended furniture and characterful color accents to create spaces that feel both refined and contemporary. Triple pod propulsion liberates valuable space below deck for accommodations. The master stateroom includes an ensuite dressing room, while two guest cabins receive VIP treatment with full-height clearance around queen-sized beds. A fourth twin cabin brings total overnight capacity to eight guests across four cabins, each designed with the spatial consideration of a larger yacht. The Carbon Tech Generation technology extends beyond performance metrics into practical benefits. Carbon fiber lamination concentrated on upper structures reduces component weight by up to 30% while lowering the yacht's center of gravity. This translates to expanded interior volumes, excellent dynamic stability, and reduced roll momentum by up to 15%—making extended passages more comfortable. Triple pod propulsion paired with optimized waterlines and extensive carbon fiber use reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by 20-30% compared to traditionally configured motor yachts of equivalent size and displacement. Automated interceptors continuously optimize trim across the speed range, maintaining ideal hydrodynamics while compensating for sidewinds or weight distribution without pilot input. The joystick control system translates directly to yacht movement—push forward to advance, pull back to reverse, move sideways for lateral translation, twist for rotation. When activated while underway, autopilot engages immediately, with brief joystick twists providing 1-degree course corrections or 10-degree adjustments when held. Integrated Garmin electronics centralize control of every onboard system through helm stations or mobile devices. Monitor and manage engines, alarms, pumps, tank levels, ventilation, entertainment, and climate control from a unified interface accessible anywhere aboard or remotely via smartphone. The Aircare Energy Saving system completely exchanges the onboard atmosphere every two hours with filtered outside air—particularly valuable in below-deck spaces. The decentralized dual-flow heat exchanger optimizes both temperature and humidity in each zone without increasing HVAC energy consumption, while triple multilayered filtration eliminates 98% of fine particles including pollen, dust mites, spores, and bacteria. The Azimut Fly 78 delivers where flybridge motor yachts typically compromise—offering the privacy architecture of superyachts, the performance of a true powerboat, and the spatial experience of vessels a class above.
