The Azimut Fly 78 is a 78 ft flybridge yacht with a fresher, more modern finish than older Azimuts. We took a 2024 boat out in a 5 to 6 ft chop off Florida and then walked her. She has a bow lounge with a real marble table, an aft deck with a grill and a docking station, a bright salon, a galley by the helm, a three-berth crew cabin, four guest cabins and a flybridge with a glass sunroof.

Azimut has raised its game

The Fly 78 shows how far Azimut has come. Leather-wrapped handrails, silky panels, brass-look metal trims and curved wood give her a modern feel throughout. She handled a rough 5 to 6 ft chop very well on our sea trial. With triple Volvo IPS pods, a joystick at three stations and a big flybridge, she is an easy, sociable yacht for family cruising.
