CNB 78
The benchmark for offshore sailing yachts.
The CNB 78 redefines and perfects the offshore sailing yacht with crew. She maintains the same style and functionality as her predecessor while offering even brighter and more spacious interiors where every detail has been designed to enhance the pleasure of being aboard.
VINCENT ARNAUD
The CNB 78 is the successor to the CNB 76. It is an evolution rather than a revolution. We retained all the criteria of the ideal yacht for coastal cruising and ocean voyages:
-
A regulatory waterline length under 24m to enter any port or anchorage.
-
The ability to be managed by only two permanent crew.
-
A spacious, private forward owner’s cabin and must-have longitudinal tender garage.

Magnificent & easy sailing
The aft section is the crew’s domain with a professional standard galley and a chart table all integrated in the immediate vicinity of their double cabin. The saloon is an extension of the cockpit; the glass aft bulkhead and the panoramic roof reinforce the feeling of freedom, enhanced by a subtle balance between wood, lacquered surfaces and textiles.
Guests will enjoy two double cabins of equal size, while the owner’s suite is worthy of a 90 foot yacht, occupying the entire area forward of the mast. Her purposeful lines combined with a wide and powerful hull, thanks to its two chines inspired by the world of ocean racing, promise great performance.
The CNB 78 combines the experience of CNB and its custom yacht heritage and the legendary build quality of Solaris to create a modern, seaworthy yacht to explore all oceans in style, safety and comfort.
Interiors
I was very pleased that the Solaris Group wanted to continue the style we designed and created for the prior model -- recognizing its remarkable success.
The new CNB 78 is classic and at the same time innovative, resolutely contemporary, elegant, bright, comfortable and, above all, a joy to live in. The CNB 78 benefits from the opportunities offered by her new hull, which has enabled us to achieve significant improvements in volume and perceived space, particularly in the forward area.

Interior Configurations
The CNB 78 proposes an owner's suite and two equivalent guest cabins with double beds, the port side one can be divided into two twin beds, and a crew cabin with a double bed and an optional pullman bed for a third crew member. A second crew cabin accessed from the foredeck is available.
The new alternative general arrangement has a crew cabin with bunk beds on starboard, a smaller galley and a third guest cabin on port adjacent to the galley. This layout increases accommodations for charter deployment or large families.
Additionally, the owner's suite can be equipped with a rear facing bed and a desk or a front facing bed with a sofa.
