The CNB 78 is the successor to the CNB 76. It’s an evolution rather than a revolution. We have maintained all the key features of the ideal yacht for long-distance cruising:

The aft section is dedicated to the crew, featuring a standard professional galley and an integrated navigation station located right next to a twin cabin.
The saloon is an extension of the cockpit; the glass aft bulkhead and panoramic roof enhance the feeling of freedom, highlighted by a subtle balance of wood, lacquered surfaces, and fabrics.
Guests will enjoy two double cabins of equal size, while the owner’s suite—worthy of a 90-footer—occupies the entire area forward of the mast. Its bold lines, combined with a wide and powerful hull featuring twin chines inspired by the world of ocean racing, promise remarkable performance.
The CNB 78 blends CNB’s experience with Solaris’ know-how to create a modern, seaworthy yacht designed to explore and conquer every ocean.

I was particularly pleased that the Solaris Group chose to preserve the distinctive CNB style we designed and created for the CNB 76 — a true acknowledgment of that model’s remarkable success.
The new range, and the CNB 78 in particular, follow the same philosophy: classic yet innovative, decidedly contemporary, elegant, bright, comfortable, and above all, a pleasure to live aboard.
The yacht especially benefits from the opportunities offered by its new hull, which has allowed us to achieve unmatched improvements in terms of volume and perceived space, particularly in the forward section of the yacht.
.
The CNB 78 offers 4 cabins: an owner’s suite and 2 equal guest cabins with double beds, one of which (port side) can be converted into 2 single beds. Additionally, there is a crew cabin for a couple, with an optional fold-down bed for a third crew member.
In the standard version, the owner’s suite features a aft-facing bed and an additional sofa; optionally, it can be configured with a forward-facing bed and a desk.
