CNB 78: An exceptional yacht balancing performance and blue-water cruising

With its length of over 23 meters and a distinctly sporty profile, the CNB 78 embodies the perfect balance between elegance and offshore sailing. It is the first yacht under 80 feet to feature a dedicated crew area—a major advantage for long passages.

In line with CNB’s yacht heritage, this model bears the signature of naval architect Philippe Briand, while Jean-Marc Piaton crafted a refined and functional interior. Built with the expertise of the Solaris shipyard, the CNB 78 combines modernity and tradition, from laminated structural bulkheads to the wide aft deck, including a flush deck and a perfectly integrated longitudinal garage. Its sleek design, enhanced by an elegant hardtop, is complemented by state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technologies.

The cockpit, designed for comfort and conviviality, features a spacious lounge with a table and generous seating. It opens seamlessly to the helm stations, ensuring smooth circulation and an intuitive sailing experience. Inside, the subtle combination of fine woodwork, luxurious fabrics, and lacquered finishes creates an atmosphere that is both warm and sophisticated.

Thanks to the generous beam of the hull, the CNB 78 offers impressive interior volumes. Guest cabins provide exceptional comfort, comparable to the owner’s suite—a rare luxury for a yacht of this size. On deck, every detail has been designed to marry aesthetics and functionality: the hardtop integrates seamlessly with the overall design, offering a harmonious silhouette and open space.

The CNB 78, a product of collaboration between CNB Yachts and the Solaris group, is designed by sailors, for sailors. It brings together the expertise and experience of two renowned companies, resulting in a yacht that is both high-performing and comfortable—ideal for long-distance cruising. A true refuge at sea, where pleasure and precision meet in perfect harmony.
