Numarine 78 Fly

The Numarine 78 Fly was designed to "avoid the sea of sameness," but she was also built for a career as a charter yacht.

Powered with twin 1,150 hp Caterpillar C18 diesels, this yacht makes a comfortable cruise speed of 24.1 knots and hits a top hop of 29.5 knots.Courtesy Numarine

Whether it’s relaxing on the foredeck lounge or kicking back on the flying bridge, sun worshippers have myriad options for bronzing onboard the Numarine 78 Fly.Courtesy Numarine

While this 78 Fly shows the davit for a tender aft on the flying bridge aft, the owner of our test vessel opted to put a Jacuzzi tub here. You could, too.Courtesy Numarine

Just raise the blinds on those long side windows to flood natural light over the shoulders of that portside C-shape settee. Note the flat-screen TV across from it.Courtesy Numarine

Because our Numarine 78 Fly was to be used for charter service her galley was closed, but an open galley is an option. It’s quite contemporary looking, too.Courtesy Numarine

Her amidships master takes full advantage of this vessel’s 19-foot beam. That settee looks like a cozy place to watch the sea pass by during that extended cruise.Courtesy Numarine

The Numarine 78 Fly is equipped with four staterooms, so there’s even room for the largest of cruising families (and their friends). Here’s the starboard-side athwartships guest berth for two.Courtesy Numarine

This forepeak VIP features an ensuite head, sports sizable headroom and receives ample ambient light from those windows flanking the berth.Courtesy Numarine
