Every surface on the Fly 78 seems to be captured mid motion.
Alberto Mancini drew her lines with the sculptural principles of futurist artist Umberto Boccioni in mind, chasing a sense of forward motion even when she is sitting still at anchor. Carbon fibre runs through the flybridge, roll bar, hardtop, deck sections and even the stern door, a construction choice that keeps her silhouette taut rather than heavy despite a generous 5.8 metre beam. The result is a hull that photographs as dynamic from any angle, without ever tipping into the kind of styling exercise that dates quickly.
A joystick and an integrated control system mean docking rarely feels like the hardest part of the day.
A Garmin navigation and control suite ties the yacht’s systems together at the helm, and joystick piloting takes the guesswork out of close quarters manoeuvring in a busy marina. CE Category A certification confirms she is built and equipped for open water passage making, not simply coastal hops, and the practical systems throughout reflect a yacht designed to be run confidently by an owner operator as much as a professional crew. Nothing about her onboard experience feels like an afterthought.
The master suite runs the full width of the hull, and it shows.
Positioned at the centre of the yacht, where motion is felt least, the full beam owner’s cabin is the clear heart of the accommodation. Three further guest cabins, two VIP and one twin, all with ensuite bathrooms, complete a layout that sleeps eight in genuine comfort. Achille Salvagni’s interior design carries the same considered restraint throughout, favouring quality of material and proportion over ornament. Crew quarters keep service separate from guest life, with a crew of two able to run the yacht attentively without ever intruding on it.
Three hundred and twenty nautical miles is enough to stop thinking about the next fuel dock.
Twin MAN V12 diesels, 1,550hp as standard and 1,650hp as an option, carry the Fly 78 to a 31 knot top speed and a steady 27 knot cruise, drawing on a 5,200 litre fuel capacity for genuine range rather than a headline figure alone. A 1.7 metre draught keeps her accessible to anchorages a deeper hulled yacht of similar length would need to avoid. For an owner planning a full season of cruising rather than short hops between marinas, that combination of range and access matters more than outright top speed.
The Fly 78 is priced, and built, as the flagship of the range.
At close to 4.7 million euros, she asks a serious commitment, and delivers a serious yacht in return: nearly 24 metres of carbon reinforced structure, engineered in house by Azimut, with day capacity for twelve and overnight accommodation for eight across four cabins. She is not the yacht for an owner counting every euro, but for one who wants scale, range and design pedigree in a single flybridge hull, she makes a clear and considered case.
