Owner Experience Review
Owners gravitate to the Fly 78fromAzimut Yachtsfor family cruising and owner-operator weekends, helped by precise joystick/IPS handling that makes close-quarters work unintimidating. Reports from owners and guests consistently note a smooth ride and a refined onboard feel, with real-world performance commonly described around a 26–27 kt cruise and 31–33 kt top speed. Some examples are also run in light charter, where the boat’s ease of handling and guest flow are clear advantages.
Onboard, the four-cabin arrangement with a full-beam master is frequently praised for space and privacy, while the Full-Lounge salon layout and high-spec galley suit longer stays and entertaining. The flybridge and foredeck areas are repeatedly highlighted as strong social zones, giving multiple places for family and guests to spread out.
Caveats appear in multiple owner and surveyor accounts: unfinished fiberglass in bilges, leaking hatches/window seals, and loose screws have led to remedial work and, at times, contentious warranty interactions. Common fixes have included re-glassing, realigning or repairing rudder posts, and replacing failed plastic thru-hulls and cracked seals; an independent survey before acceptance is strongly recommended. Triple Volvo Penta IPS pods and an optional Seakeeper enhance performance and comfort but add specialist service complexity and costs.
