Details
Combining timeless British craftsmanship with impressive offshore capability, the Fairline Squadron 78 is a luxury motor yacht designed for owners seeking both comfort and performance in equal measure. From the moment you step aboard, the yacht's scale and refinement are immediately apparent. Large panoramic windows, generous headroom and an intelligently designed layout create a bright and welcoming interior that feels considerably larger than her length would suggest. The main deck offers seamless flow between the saloon, dining area and galley, providing a sophisticated setting for both private family cruising and entertaining on a larger scale.
Accommodation is centred around a spacious four-cabin layout, highlighted by a full-beam owner's suite that delivers exceptional comfort and privacy. Guest cabins are equally well proportioned, allowing family and friends to enjoy extended time aboard without compromise. The exterior spaces have been designed to maximise enjoyment on the water. A substantial flybridge provides commanding visibility and multiple areas for dining, relaxing and socialising, while the aft cockpit and hydraulic swim platform create a natural extension of the living space when at anchor.
Powered for confident passage-making, the Squadron 78 achieves comfortable fast-cruising speeds while maintaining the stability and refinement expected of a yacht in this class. Whether cruising the Mediterranean, exploring the eastern seaboard of North America or undertaking extended coastal adventures, she offers the capability and comfort required for serious cruising.
Key Features:
Four-cabin accommodation layout with spacious full-beam master suite
Expansive flybridge entertaining area with multiple social zones
Hydraulic swim platform for effortless water access and tender handling
Tropical-spec air conditioning and heating throughout
Large capacity watermaker for extended cruising
New Teak Decks in 2023
Excellent storage capacity throughout the vessel
Fast and efficient cruising performance for extended coastal passages
Presented with extensive recent upgrades and continual maintenance investment
Extensively upgraded and exceptionally well presented, this Squadron 78 represents a compelling opportunity to acquire a highly capable luxury motor yacht that is ready for immediate enjoyment.
