Sirena 78 Video Review: A Flybridge You Can Close and an Open Galley
By the YachtWay editorial deskUpdated October 2026Video walkthrough7 min read
The Sirena 78 is a 25 m flybridge yacht built in Turkey, designed by Frers Naval Architecture and Cor D. Rover. We walked her at the Düsseldorf boat show. The flybridge can be open, semi-enclosed or fully enclosed, with a grill, a dining table that drops into a sunbed and the main helm. That leaves the main deck free for a big open galley with an island. Below there is a king-size owner's suite, a full-beam VIP, two more guest cabins and two crew cabins.
A yacht you could trade your house for
The Sirena 78 is laid out like a home. The main helm lives on the flybridge, so the main deck has no helm station by the galley, just a big open kitchen with an island and a dining nook. Sirena does much of its woodwork and metalwork in-house, and the finishes show it. Storage hides everywhere, from the bow lockers to the cutting board racks in the galley.

The Sirena 78 is built for living on board. Moving the main helm to the flybridge frees the main deck for an open galley that feels like a home kitchen, and the flybridge itself can be open or closed for any weather. Below, the king-size owner's suite and the full-beam VIP are generous for this size. With joysticks, thrusters and cameras everywhere, an experienced owner could run her. We did not sea trial her, so we cannot speak to the ride.
