Aquitalia 78 Motor Yacht
About Aquitalia 78
Eight guests across four cabins is a straightforward split for a 78-foot flybridge, and Aquitalia 78 keeps to that brief without adding complexity where none is needed. Raffles built her in 2024 as an AY78 Flybridge, a model built around exactly this kind of layout.
Build and provenance
Raffles designed the AY78 Flybridge as a monohull, and Aquitalia 78 is one built to that specification in 2024. Her hull is FRP construction, built for stability and steady handling rather than for outright speed.
Layout and accommodation
Four cabins sleep eight guests aboard Aquitalia 78, a flybridge layout that puts the entertaining space up top and the sleeping quarters below, away from the day's traffic. At 78 feet with a beam of 6.1 metres, there is room enough for the split to feel generous rather than tight.
Performance and engineering
Aquitalia 78 cruises at 19 knots and reaches 25 knots flat out, comfortable numbers for hopping between anchorages rather than crossing open water. At 56 gross tonnes, she carries enough hull to keep that speed settled rather than jarring, a flybridge yacht built to cruise more than to race.
Where she lies and how to see her
Boatcrowd arranges every viewing of Aquitalia 78 and is present throughout; once a buyer's offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before handover.

Buying Costs
- Survey
- A buyer normally commissions a condition survey, and a sea trial, once an offer is accepted and before the sale becomes unconditional. The cost depends on her size and on where she is lifted, and it is the buyer who appoints the surveyor.
- Registration and flag
- She will be registered on a flag of the buyer's choosing, which carries its own fees and its own survey and crew requirements. Where the yacht is owned through a company, the shares rather than the vessel may change hands, which changes what is payable.
- VAT and import
- Whether VAT is due, and where, depends on the yacht's current status, her flag, the buyer's residency and where she is delivered. Where the seller has stated her VAT status, it is shown with the asking price on her page, and it is confirmed in writing before an offer is made.
- Running costs
- Crew, berthing, insurance, class and annual maintenance continue from the day she is yours. A yacht that is also chartered earns against them, and we will set out what her season has actually returned before you commit.
