CNB 78 For Sale

The CNB 78 is widely regarded as the benchmark for modern offshore sailing, a yacht that refines the art of long-distance cruising with crew while remaining deeply rewarding at the helm. Conceived by renowned naval architect Philippe Briand, she is an evolution of the acclaimed CNB 76, preserving the defining qualities of her predecessor while introducing greater volume, light and spatial harmony throughout.

At 23.93 metres overall, with a waterline under 24 metres, the CNB 78 retains the freedom to explore shallow coastal waters and intimate anchorages without compromising bluewater capability. Her powerful hull, featuring twin chines inspired by ocean racing, delivers stiffness and balance under sail, while a thoughtfully engineered sail plan ensures both performance and ease of handling. Designed to be managed by a small, professional crew, she offers the rare combination of superyacht comfort and sailing authenticity.

On deck, the cockpit flows effortlessly into the saloon through a glass aft bulkhead and panoramic roof, dissolving the boundaries between interior and exterior living. The longitudinal tender garage aft preserves clean deck lines and practicality, while the forward owner’s suite, occupying the entire area ahead of the mast, rivals that of a 90-footer in both scale and serenity.

The interior, by Piaton Yacht Design, is classic yet contemporary: luminous, elegant and meticulously detailed. Two generous guest cabins ensure comfort and privacy, while the crew area aft features a professional galley and integrated navigation station, supporting smooth operations on extended passages.

For owners seeking a sailing yacht that combines performance pedigree, intelligent design and genuine long-range capability, the CNB 78 represents a compelling opportunity. Now offered for sale, she is ready to explore, confidently, gracefully and without compromise.
