Is the 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH for Sale?

Yes, this 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The yacht is located in Antibes, France, and is being actively marketed to buyers who prioritize speed, style, and Mediterranean day cruising. Because the 2024 refit lowers immediate risk and supports resale value, and this example is commercially registered with European VAT paid, availability of a comparable boat in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, Caterpillar C32 service records, refit invoices, waterjet condition, hull condition, and interior finishes should all be reviewed. A well-documented example with a recent refit can have a very different ownership profile from another AB 78 that has deferred maintenance.
 

2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH Price

The asking price for this 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH should be confirmed directly with the listing broker, as pricing for high-performance sport yachts varies with condition, equipment, and documented service history. The 2024 refit lowers immediate risk and supports resale value, and European VAT paid status simplifies ownership for many buyers. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 76-foot waterjet sport yacht. Running a 76-foot waterjet sport yacht means budgeting for fuel, berthing, insurance, and specialist maintenance. The twin 1,925 hp Caterpillar engines consume heavily at high speed. Buyers should still verify service records and plan for annual technical checks, along with a professional survey, haul-out, and general upkeep.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This AB Yachts 78 is powered by twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines producing 1,925 hp each. The Caterpillar C32 ACERT is a high-performance marine diesel known for strong power output and reliable operation, and the twin installation gives this 76-foot sport yacht the pace that AB Yachts buyers expect. Waterjet propulsion delivers speeds over 40 knots and responsive handling.
 

The extensive 2024 refit includes an engine overhaul, new exhaust, waterjet renewal, A/C renewal, watermaker, Humphree interceptors, passerelle, batteries, hull paint, and interior refurbishments, which together lower immediate risk. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, waterjet condition, and hull maintenance, so a sea trial should be used to verify the performance of the individual yacht. The twin 1,925 hp Caterpillar engines consume heavily at high speed.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH features a 2024 refit that includes hull paint, new exhaust, waterjet renewal, Humphree interceptors, and a passerelle, along with a watermaker, batteries, and interior refurbishments. The Italian build quality is reflected in the finish and detailing, and the yacht is kept in dry storage more than half the year, which helps preserve the hull and topsides. The exterior design is built for fast coastal cruising and weekend escapes.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, waterjets, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, and any signs of water intrusion or previous structural repairs. The 2024 hull paint, Humphree interceptors, passerelle, and waterjet renewal should all be reviewed and tested. Deck hardware, railings, and the cockpit layout should also be checked during a personal viewing in Antibes.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH offers a four-cabin layout with comfortable guest accommodations. Families will appreciate the four cabins for weekend trips, while entertainers get a sporty platform for lunch runs and coastal hops. The 2024 refit included A/C renewal and interior refurbishments, so the interior is turnkey and ready for immediate use.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, entertainment systems, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the galley equipment, refrigeration, air-conditioning, watermaker, plumbing, bilge systems, and all accommodation spaces for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The four-cabin arrangement provides privacy and comfort for owners and guests on weekend trips and coastal cruising.
 

What to Check Before Buying a 2011 AB Yachts 78 TAYYARAH

Before making an offer, request the full equipment list, refit invoices, and engine reports. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, bulkheads, running gear, waterjets, through-hulls, fuel tanks, steering system, electrical equipment, air-conditioning, watermaker, plumbing, and bilge systems. The 2024 hull paint, Humphree interceptors, passerelle, batteries, and interior refurbishments should also be reviewed.
 

The twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT engines should be inspected individually, including engine hours, service records from the 2024 overhaul, diagnostic reports, cooling systems, turbochargers, exhaust components, transmissions, and waterjets. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, autopilot, VHF radios, refrigeration, pumps, air-conditioning, watermaker, and other onboard systems. This AB Yachts 78 for sale is a strong candidate for a buyer who wants a refitted, VAT-paid performance yacht without waiting for a new build.
