Interior

The saloon area is vast and has beautiful seating, large windows, and excellent lighting. Particular highlights are the helm's beautiful steering wheel, the galley's dark work surfaces, and the large American-style fridge freezer.

The guest accommodation on the lower deck is impressive. There's a VIP cabin with an off-center bed which makes the room feel large and an ensuite with a rainfall shower. There are two additional guest cabins, each with its own ensuite. All the ensuites have teak finishes and mirrors that conceal TVs.

Nick is most enthusiastic about the master cabin, which he describes as a "dose of Italian style". It has a luxurious ensuite with twin sinks and a large shower, and a walk-in wardrobe.

On Deck

On the exterior, there are large overhangs, high rails, and pin lights. He also mentions a social area with seating and sunbathing space. The flybridge is a highlight, constructed with carbon tech allowing for a larger standard size. It has a hardtop and a seating/sunbathing area next to the helm.

Crew Accommodation

There is also a crew area with a spacious sleeping area with room for three crew. There is plenty of storage and toilet with seperate shower. This is considered quite generous for a 78-foot boat.

Performance

The yacht is fitted with three Volvo Penta IPS-1350 engines, each delivering 1000 horsepower. There is ample space in the engine room with Seakeeper stabilizer and two generators. The yacht uses pod drive, which means it doesn't have shafts but uses pods to transmit power to propellers and steer the boat.

In Summary

Throughout the video, Nick expresses his admiration for the design, layout, and features of the Azimut Fly 78. He particularly appreciates the yacht's Italian style, space, and the thought put into the design and layout, making it suitable for both owners and crews.
