Owner Experience Review
Many buyers look to the current 78 Flybridge—the 2019 redesign fromAzimut Yachtslaunched at Cannes and in production since—for family cruising and weekending. Four cabins with a full‑beam master, separate crew access/quarters, and a bright, “vast” saloon are repeatedly highlighted, while the flybridge and deck areas feel genuinely large and set up well for owner‑operated entertaining. The same layout flexibility also gives the boat credible potential for crewed use or luxury charter.
Underway, the triple Volvo Penta IPS installation is frequently credited in tests and reviews with a quiet ride, reduced fuel consumption, and simple manoeuvring. Performance figures commonly cited put it cruising in the mid‑20s knots, with 26–31‑kt ranges depending on the IPS variant, which suits its easy‑handling character.
The ownership picture includes caveats noted in forums: reports of build‑quality issues on some Azimut boats (unfinished fiberglass in the bilges and loose screws found after a day out) and difficult warranty claims, including dispute escalations over public complaints. 78 Flybridge’s triple IPS also increases reliance on Volvo‑specialist diagnostics, parts and service versus simpler shaft installations, while manufacturer documentation outlines engine‑room access provisions for routine maintenance.
Pros and Cons
- Quiet, more frugal ride is commonly attributed to the triple Volvo Penta IPS setup.
- Enormous flybridge and multiple outdoor entertaining zones suit owner‑operated social use.
- Four‑cabin layout with full‑beam master and separate crew access supports family cruising and charter roles.
- Forum posts report build‑quality issues on some boats, including unfinished fiberglass in bilges and loose screws found after outings.
- Owners and brokers in forums describe difficult warranty claims and dispute escalations.
- Triple IPS package increases dependence on Volvo‑specialist diagnostics, parts and service compared with simple shaft drives.
