Transcendence - Azimut Yachts FOR SALE

A study in modern Italian elegance, this 2020 Azimut 78 Flybridge pairs sculptural style with effortless performance to deliver an indulgent on‑water lifestyle. Designed by Pierluigi Ausonio with interiors by Achille Salvagni, she blends crisp architectural lines with soft, organic forms and a palette of refined textures that feel both contemporary and timeless. Broad panes of glass flood the salon with natural light, highlighting an open, social layout that flows from a welcoming lounge to a sophisticated dining area and a beautifully appointed galley—perfect for hosting or lingering over sunset cocktails.

At 78 feet with an 18‑foot beam, her volume is immediately apparent, yet her spaces maintain a boutique, residential calm. Eight guests are accommodated in four serene staterooms, including a full‑beam owner’s suite that exudes quiet luxury, complemented by three additional guest cabins and four elegant heads. Thoughtful separation of spaces ensures privacy for all on board, while dedicated crew quarters for up to four across three cabins support discrete, professional service on every passage.

Outdoor living is where the 78 truly comes alive. The expansive flybridge invites long, relaxed days al fresco, with generous lounging, open‑air dining, and seamless sightlines that stretch to the horizon. A welcoming aft cockpit extends the main deck’s social footprint, while the foredeck provides an intimate retreat for sunning or an evening aperitif under the stars. From morning dips to twilight toasts, every setting is designed to make time aboard feel effortlessly special.

Underway, her semi‑displacement hull delivers a poised, confident ride. Triple Volvo Penta inboard diesels provide spirited performance with a comfortable 22‑knot cruise and a thrilling 28‑knot top speed, balancing pace with easy manners. With 1,150 gallons of fuel and 316 gallons of fresh water, she’s equally at home on weekend escapes and longer coastal cruises, offering range, reliability, and the quiet assurance that every detail has been considered.

Crafted in GRP/fiberglass for strength and efficiency, and finished to Azimut’s exacting standards, this Flybridge is as compelling at the dock as she is at sea—an ideal blend of artistry, innovation, and everyday usability. Located in the United States and ready to impress, she is a luxurious invitation to travel beautifully, entertain effortlessly, and savor every mile in style.
