First look: CNB78 and CNB88
- September 8, 2023
The CNB78 will be on display at the Cannes Boat Show after it was first revealed earlier this year. The CNB78 is a small superyacht-style bluewater cruiser with plenty of style
Product Overview
We first saw something of the CNB 78 at the Düsseldorf boat show in January where CNB had a mock up of its new boat, a whalebone-like structure which showed the impressive size of the hull, with graphics on the floor showing the interior layout. Having not even seen a rendered image of the new model by that point, we were amazed to learn that CNB had already sold four boats and has an 88 in the pipeline!
Of those four orders, three were to repeat clients. The first boat is launched earlier in 2023 and will be on display at the Cannes boat show in September at a cost of around €4m.
The CNB78 came just 18 months after Groupe Beneteau sold CNB to Solaris, a transition phase, which has involved moving production from Monfalcone to a new facility at Solaris’ Aquileia home.
Of course the heritage French brand is no stranger to this market and size. It sold 32 CNB 76s, including the model we reviewed in 2014. Vincent Arnaud, the brand manager who has remained through the transition, explained that their challenge was finding where to improve on this design – it’s popular for being a small superyacht-style bluewater cruiser that can be managed by minimal crew.
Maintaining its recognised style was paramount – CNB will still focus on bluewater, where Solaris specialises in the more flush deck sporty Med designs, says Arnaud. Hence CNB kept the same design team in Philppe Briand and Jean-Marc Piaton to create its new range.
The 78 has a powerful hull shape with upper and lower chines. It’s wider than the 76, especially aft, with more volume through the boat. The signature coachroof is retained to give good protection to a large cockpit and create the adjoining deck saloon, while a glazed companionway helps give near surround views.
CNB has retained the style of its old 76 by using the same designers. The contemporary 78 has a similar ¾ width bulkhead to give the master suite open privacy
“The goal was to turn the Beneteau page and start a new chapter,” explains Arnaud. The process of construction is totally different now, he says, with bulkheads laminated into the hull in a more traditional manner (rather than using Groupe Beneteau’s innovation of building full interior modules outside of the boat).
The interior also has a more modern style, with less wood and more fabrics and lacquered parts. The main interior layout improvements the team wanted to make were with the guest accommodation. Niggles with the 76 centred on the aft guest bunk cabin. From the saloon forward on the 78 is all guest space, with two near equal sized guest cabins and a huge owner’s suite, the latter of which monopolises the volume forward of the mast base. The chart table is now aft, connecting with the galley and crew cabin, and giving more privacy to the saloon.
“Solaris is the perfect tool for improved quality,” thinks Arnaud. “It’ll be stiffer for sure (thanks to laminated bulkheads) and 5-10% lighter. The finish quality will be incomparable, and now only in natural wood.”
CNB is targeting a four model range, with the 88 likely to be the next model. This flagship will be in the style of the 78 but with the volume for an extra guest cabin and second crew cabin.

CNB 78 "One" : Solaris' new arrival - a masterpiece of the art of sailing
Jochen Rieker
· 24.03.2024
In autumn, the Strait of Bonifacio, which separates the southern part of Corsica from the north of Sardinia, can get very rough. Even in summer, the sea can roar due to the mistral wind. At such times, the area, which is known for its clear turquoise-coloured bays and is considered one of the most magnificent sailing areas in the entire Mediterranean, turns into a veritable cauldron. Today, however, on this day of the first test run for a boat that heralds a new era for the CNB brand, there is no sign of it.
It is construction number 1 of the CNB 78, and that is also the name of this beauty in elegant black metallic: "One". Her imposing hull measures almost 25 metres from bowsprit to stern. The performance rig from Hall Spars made of clear-coated carbon fibre towers 34 metres above the sea. A sculpture that captivates passers-by from afar.
The flanks of the ship designed by Philippe Briand are formed by two chines, giving it a mixture of strength and elegance. The deck, which rises slightly towards the bow, creates a captivating tension, especially in contrast to the elongated window line of the superstructure. The harmony of the design is so perfect that no hull paint is needed to emphasise its beauty. Even in white gelcoat, the CNB 78 looks simply breathtaking.

Foreship of the CNB 78 remains unobstructed
Her foredeck remains completely unbuilt from the mast to the cutter stay fitting. The skilfully crafted Solimar hatches, the retractable Harken mooring winch, the track of the self-tacking jib - everything is flush with the light-coloured teak deck, as is customary in this category of boat. The halyards are run on the mast, around which up to four winches can be grouped to simplify line management in the aft working cockpit.
The real characteristic of the CNB 78 - its panoramic glazed deck saloon - extends from the centre of the ship almost to the main boom. Seen from the side, the superstructure also encompasses the guest cockpit, effectively concealing its height visually. Philippe Briand, this grand master of exquisite taste, has once again worked his magic. The graceful competence and power that his design radiates conceals a volume and spaciousness below deck that is less comparable with yachts of the same length, but rather with calibres in the 85- to 90-foot class.
Offering more space, more performance, more creative freedom
This, among other things, was the focus of the new development - the first since Solaris Yachts took over the CNB brand in 2021. The CNB 78 is a statement, so to speak, a current positioning for the entire line, which will one day range from 60 to 88 feet. It should offer more space, more performance, more design freedom - but without compromising its DNA.
With this, the strategy that Marc Giorgetti outlined in Cannes a good two years ago is being realised. The Luxembourg-based partner is establishing an entire premium group for sailing and motor yachts around the core brand Solaris, which stands for upmarket performance cruisers. In order to also cover the luxury long-distance segment, Giorgetti took over the Beneteau Group's established high-end brand CNB, which, despite its success, never really fitted in with the world market leader's high-volume business.
Solaris and CNB complement each other almost seamlessly in terms of orientation, says Vincent Arnaud, Brand Director of the French-based company for almost ten years. He sees an analogy with the automotive industry: the two brands and their products are "like Maserati and Range Rover".
CNB is now fully integrated into production in Aquileia in northern Italy. The "One" therefore not only embodies the realignment under the direction of Solaris, it is also the first boat to be built at the expanded and modernised site since the acquisition.
What the CNB 78 is conceptually designed for
When we go on board, not a drop of night dew covers the cabin roof and the spacious cockpit. Skipper Adonis Vlachopoulos and his wife Nadia are usually up before six o'clock to keep the boat in top condition. The two of them look after the "One" as a permanent crew. The CNB 78 is designed for this, better than many others of its kind.
In the given specification, it could also be operated by an experienced owner couple because all manoeuvres can essentially be carried out at the touch of a button. However, the necessary systems require a level of expertise, maintenance and care that makes professional hands, if not mandatory, highly recommended.
The sun is still so low this morning that part of the harbour, which is lined with high limestone cliffs, is in the shade. The weather forecast promises a picture-perfect day, initially with 7 to 10 knots from the west, then 12 to 15 knots from the early afternoon. Time to set sail!
Adonis starts the 3.7-litre four-cylinder Volvo Penta diesel engine, which is installed under the saloon floor, close to the yacht's centre of gravity. But nothing stirs: no quiet humming, no subtle vibration. In the quiet post-season idyll of the Port de Bonifacio, not even the burble of the exhaust can be heard in the cockpit.
Is the starter motor on strike? Is the start button in the switch panel defective? The captain notices the irritation and smiles. "All good!" he assures us, pointing to the rev counter. Indeed, the engine is running!
The Greek steps aside, makes an inviting gesture towards the steering wheel and removes the aft mooring line to starboard from the cleat. At least he stays close enough to be able to intervene if necessary. Of course, this is not necessary, as the CNB 78 makes it easy for the helmsman.
On the one hand, there is the moment of inertia of around 50 tonnes displacement in a clear-sailed, well provisioned and equipped condition. On the other hand, this mass can be steered with extreme precision, almost with care. And so the black ship, its pigments sparkling in the sunlight, glides silently and effortlessly from the pier in the far east under the attentive gaze of a small crowd of onlookers.
CNB 78 can manoeuvre on a small scale
From the helm of a 24.85 metre long and 6.10 metre wide yacht, almost every harbour basin seems narrow at first. However, the CNB turns via its twin rudders to barely more than one and a half boat lengths. And, on request, it can be equipped with extendable bow and stern thrusters, which enable even smaller-scale manoeuvring.
Like many other extras - such as electric primary winches, hydraulic genoa furlers, teak deck or sprayhood - they are not part of the standard equipment. This may come as a surprise, as they are actually included on boats of this size. However, CNB deliberately does not pursue an inclusive pricing strategy, but leaves the configuration largely up to the owners. They have a lot of design freedom here; those who are not stingy can easily top the base price by 50 per cent or more in this way.
The bulkheads remain immovable, as usual with a semi-custom concept. Within these limits, however, the shipyard offers several possible layout modules, four different woods for the interior alone, dozens of equipment options and an almost immeasurable range of upholstery fabrics. Even if these are not taken into account, the list of options comprises almost 200 items, not including special requests. It is therefore practically impossible for two CNB 78s to leave the production halls in the northern Adriatic in even remotely similar configurations.
The first of its kind comes with very sophisticated, almost complete equipment with a noticeable performance plus. In addition to the carbon mast, which is two metres higher than the standard aluminium rig, with a matching Park Avenue-style furling boom, the "One" has a three-metre deep performance keel and a set of the finest, yet highly durable 3Di Ocean membrane sails from North Sails.
The main measures 175 square metres, the genoa 152 square metres. In relation to the displacement, this results in a sail load factor in the sporty range: 5.0. At 82 square metres, the self-tacking jib guided on the permanently rigged stay is only about half the size of the genoa and acts as a kind of first reef (sail load factor 4.4). On request, the inner stay can be ordered with a hydraulic tensioner and furler from Reckmann - a highly recommended option, as this allows the optimum forestay tension to be used at all times, which provides more speed and height, especially when tacking.
Earn miles, but efficiently
Due to a lack of thermal support, the breeze initially weakens as expected. And so we motor south-east towards the Maddalena archipelago in Sardinia, towards the onset of the thermals. With its long waterline of more than 22 metres, the CNB 78 can make very efficient miles. Her hull speed is 11.5 knots, cruising speed corresponds to around 9 knots. As in the harbour, she remains pleasantly quiet at idle speed. In the owner's cabin forward, the roar of the water drowns out the well-muffled sound of the Volvo; even in the saloon, under the floor of which the four-cylinder engine rotates, you hardly have to raise your voice. Only aft in the galley does it hum more audibly.
But the CNB is not a powerboat, it's a sailboat. And she proves this impressively when the wind picks up. Just 3 Beaufort is enough to put her in a good mood. At between 10 and 12 knots, she consistently logs a speed of around 7.5 to 8 knots at the cross and already conveys a feeling for the pressure conditions at the helm. Of course, this hardly needs any active support; once properly trimmed, the imposing yacht holds its course almost all by itself.
As it freshens up to 15 knots, little changes in the pleasant balance. The CNB 78 only leans a little more to leeward, accelerates to 9 to 9.5 knots and otherwise remains calm. She feels most comfortable when you let her run instead of pinching out to the last degree. Her optimum tacking angle is between 96 and 100 degrees. She can also be forced closer to the wind, but with a true wind angle of 45 degrees you lose more speed than you gain upwind.
The joy of running the CNB 78
It is a pleasure to steer her - something that cannot be said of every yacht of this size. The overview from the helm stations is perfect, as are the ergonomics - both standing and sitting. The helmsman's bench is designed as an extension of the coaming and curves inwards in a gentle arc; a design feature that is also repeated below deck. From here, it is only a step to the winches that separate the helm station from the guest cockpit.
This in turn impresses with its lounge-like character. Because the companionway is offset off-centre, the cockpit offers two areas: To starboard, the crew will find a bench that can also be used as a sun lounger, while to port is the seating area with the cockpit table that can be lowered hydraulically on request. Even with chairs added, there is enough space to reach aft unhindered.
Beneath this extremely comfortable open-air arrangement, a veritable dinghy rests in a large longitudinal garage. The CNB 78 can accommodate a Williams Sport-Tender 395 in its rear garage, the ultimate mooring speedster. With its jet propulsion based on a Rotax engine, it runs at speeds of up to 46 knots, offers space for six people and is also suitable for water skiing. To make launching and retrieving easier, CNB has developed a launch system with an electric winch, which is one of the highly recommended extras. This means that the dinghy can be launched or stowed away again in a matter of minutes.
Convincing room concept
The fact that almost four metres of hull length are sacrificed for this is not noticeable below deck - on the contrary. Instead, the CNB impresses with a spatial concept that surpasses its predecessor as well as most of its current competitors. The key to the interior design by interior designer Jean-Marc Viaton lies in the clear lines of sight from the saloon to the outside. Those who take the wide, pleasantly flat companionway downwards find themselves in a completely acoustically isolated world, but never lose contact with the sea.
The large window areas are flush with the deck at the bottom, which visually merges the interior and exterior and visually expands the space. Unlike its predecessor, the CNB 76, which sold extremely well with 32 units, this effect is now also available aft. There, an additional window widens the glazed companionway to port. The furnishings appear lighter, more elegant and also more airy thanks to the omission of the navigation system. This has been moved to the crew quarters, where it adjoins the centre galley line.
Towards the front, there are two points that make the difference: The CNB 78 offers two equivalent guest cabins with double or optional single berths - a gain due to the increase in width in the hull. The 76, on the other hand, only had berths arranged one above the other to starboard. The plus is even more evident in the owner's cabin, which takes up the entire foredeck and is more reminiscent of a hotel room.
The curved edges, a kind of signature of the ship, can be found here in the room divider made of solid wood bars, which stands behind the desk and acts as a privacy screen when the door to the passageway is open. They can also be found in the longitudinal bulkhead of the guest cabin on the starboard side, seamlessly veneered and perfectly stretched - just one of the many details in which the boat builders at Solaris show what they can do.
Manufactured using traditional construction methods
Their art is not limited to carpentry. The CNB 78 also shows substance behind its chic surface. Unlike under the aegis of the Beneteau Group, the successor to the 76 is no longer built using semi-industrialised methods, but traditionally. This means that large modules with their own floor seat are not prefabricated and glued in. Instead, the new CNB is built in series: first the hull, floor assembly, bulkheads, then the interior. This is better suited to semi-custom models, where the owners want their individual wishes to be taken into account within a given layout. And it goes hand in hand with even greater solidity and strength. Despite the wide saloon, the 78 sails with remarkable torsional rigidity and virtually no creaking or crackling.
And even if owners will rarely ever stray into her engine room: It is also a model of practicality and perfection. The saloon floor can be removed for major maintenance work - all relevant systems are then neatly and clearly arranged in the open. If the floor remains closed, all components can still be accessed without any major dislocations.
Arno Kronenberg, who, as before, is responsible for sales in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, cites this "even higher level of quality" as one of the key advantages that the brand's new home will bring. Under the aegis of Solaris, the experienced ocean sailor believes that CNB can further strengthen its most important unique selling point: "Building boats that offer comfort and performance on the water, but are also flawless blue water yachts for worldwide cruises." The CNB 78 is just the beginning, but what a beginning!

The new flagship
Heir to the tradition of CNB one-offs and to the CNB 76, the CNB 88 builds on the incredible functionality of the 76 by adding more volume and refinements. The purpose of this sailing yacht is to offer generous accommodation capacity thanks to her spacious owner’s cabin and three equal-sized guest cabins.
The crew also benefits from the generous volume of the aft section with two double cabins. Faithful to the marine qualities of CNBs, her balanced hull and great stiffness to her canvas guarantees both comfort and performance.
VINCENT ARNAUD
With the CNB 88, we wanted to create a safe, fast and cosseting sailing yacht that makes you want to go far. 88 feet long, she is an ideal compromise between volume, absolute comfort and simplicity of her systems. The CNB 88 is a true superyacht.

It uses proven technical solutions that will appeal to owners of large one-offs who are tired of their complexity.As easy as the CNB 78 with the volume of a 90-footer.A boat designed by sailors for sailors.The combination of CNB’s experience and Solaris’ know-how, these first two models embody the future of the brand: a strong identity served by a Haute Couture shipyard.
Without losing the spirit and style of the brand that contributes to its success, we designed a lighter, more contemporary interior. We wanted to bring more clarity, comfort and elegance with great care in the details of finish, treatment of woodwork. Here we have a boat that will be talked about in this exclusive world.

CNB 78 Overview
There is always someone special aboard a CNB. A sailor who values performance, safety and luxury. An adventure seeker who truly loves the sea.
The CNB 78 redefines what an offshore sailing yacht should be. An evolution of the CNB 76, the most successful maxi yacht built in series, the CNB 78 takes on the same style and functionality but now offers even brighter, larger spaces where every detail has been designed for pleasure while sailing or at anchor.
A discerning yachtsman who may be considering a new Swan, Oyster, YYachts or other luxury sailing vessel should take a close look at the CNB 78 or the flagship CNB 88. There is simply nothing like it.
This is a new yacht, built to order for delivery worldwide and presented by the exclusive CNB representative for residents of North America. Congratulations to my client from Miami who purchased hull #5. Inquire to reserve the next production slot for Spring 2025 delivery, while it is still available.
Private demo sails in Italy 29 - 31 July 2024, by appointment.
View at the Cannes Yachting Festival 10 - 15 September 2024.

TESTIMONIALS
Hard to find good brokers like Robert! My experience with his Company earns a five star review
I’ve sold two boats and purchased one through Fillingham Yachts. Rob and Micki are exceptional people who offer a high level of service.
Great group to find the boat of your dreams!
This is our second experience with Fillingham Yacht Sales, and to be perfectly honest, probably not our last! Both times we found them to be professional, polite and completely transparent when brokering our deals.
Robert and Micky Siviter were a pleasure to work with during the 2 happiest days that the boat owner experiences. my wife and I went through 6 more of these events previously and this was the smoothest and friendliest by far. “good value” with a 10% fee…is it possible?
Excellent service and professionalism!!! THANK YOU!!!!!
About as easy a selling process as you can get. Mike, Micki, and the whole team at Fillingham made it painless to sell my 2013 Sea Hunt. Thanks again to the team for taking such good care of me.
I recently purchased a 1991 Sabre 38 MK II where Fillingham Yacht Sales was the Owner Broker. The sale was handled by Micki Siviter and Greg Petrat. The whole experience was excellent and what can be a complicated and difficult process went very smoothly due to Micki’s and Greg’s efforts. Both were always readily available and always went above and beyond to help me through the process. Thank you so much.
Greg Petrat did a great job listing and showing our sailboat. As a long time sailor, Greg was able to “coach” prospective buyers on pros and cons and ultimately found a great buyer and new home for our boat.
Micki Siviter made the closing process very easy ensuring a timely and smooth transaction particularly when we encountered a hiccup along the way.
I enjoyed working the the team at Fillingham Yachts and would highly recommend them to represent potential sellers and buyers.
We have bought and sold numerous boats by them. Very reliable and professional.
Great people to deal with. They made the process easy and went out of their way work around my schedule. I highly recommend Jim, Micki and the rest of the team!
Robert did great job selling our 36 hatteras.we r so thankful for Rob & Micki
I have been using the services of Fillingham Yachts for 15 years. They are truly people who care about their customers. I have purchased and sold 10 boats over the years and they handled all of the details promptly and professionally. I have had them find boats for me and they came through with flying colors. I had worked with Bob and Shar Fillingham in the beginning and the past 3 transactions with Rob Siviter the owner. The last boat they sold for me was a 2012 Grady White 275 Freedom. They found this boat for me a couple of years ago. The entire sales process from listing the boat for sale until the money was in my bank was a short 4 weeks. Can’t say enough about how they sell like it the only boat they are selling! They will do the job for you so give them a shot and find out what it is like to deal with true professionals in the yachting business. JW. December 2018
Top of the line service. Worked very hard to get my boat sold. Great job processing the paperwork. Lots of communication!!! Great Job
My husband and I recently purchased a 330 SeaRay through Robert at Fillingham Yatchs. It was a pleasure working with Rob and Micki throughout the whole process. Rob was very patient and knowledgeable when it came to answering our many questions, and addressing our concerns. We live up north, and Rob gladly handled the marine survey on our behalf, and more importantly, directed and followed through with all the necessary repairs as he said he would. After the purchase, Rob set a day aside for us to fly into Tampa to take us out for the day to familiarize us with the boat and to make sure we were comfortable with all aspects of it. He also took it upon himself to arrange transportation of the boat from Tampa to Miami, and even went as far as meeting the boat in Miami to ensure there were no problems. Rob went above and beyond what had to be done to insure we were happy. We would highly recommend using Rob to anyone looking to purchase a boat. His guidance, actions and hands on approach made purchasing a boat from out of state so effortless and simple. Throughout this whole process he also has become a friend, and we will always appreciate what he did for us. Thanks so much Rob for all your help. We will definitely be reaching out to you when we’re ready to move up to a bigger boat. Love to see you guys when you’re in Miami.
Robert did an amazing job selling my SeaVee. I would use him again.
Just wanted to let anyone know that this company is outstanding.I purchased a Sea Vee center console through these guys.It was one of the most pleasant experiences I have ever had.I would gladly refer these folks.I am from Charleston,S.C. and had never dealt with a broker.These folks are TOP SHELF.
Fillingham yachts are the best! Micki took extremely good care of me providing information and guidance and quick callbacks to any questions. Al Lima my broker was there for me every minute from looking at boats to picking one out and making an offer to closing and helping to understand all the regulations and paperwork. I would highly recommend this group to anybody purchasing or selling their boat.
Robert and Micki are both nice people and good at what they do. My boat had some serious engine problems discovered during the Sea Trial/Survey; anti-freeze in the oil. Robert arranged for a mechanic, the problem got fixed and the deal was completed. I am in CA, the boat in FL so it was GREAT help to me that he was willing to deal with it so I did not need to make a trip to FL. I would HIGHLY recommend and definitely do business with them again.
Thank you so much to Mike and Micki for all your help and professionalism dealing with the sale of our Yacht. Both went up and above requirements to help during Covid 19. Our borders were closed to Canada and they both made the experience very easy and were in contact giving updates and support throughout the whole time. I would recommend both parties to anyone who wants to sell their boats if you want an assured, professional and confident sale. Fillingham Yachts should be proud to have two expert people on their team. Regards and thanks again for everything Glenn and Sue Chapman
Robert did a great job marketing and selling our boat! He is very detailed, follows through on all promises and is determined to get the transaction closed. Also, selling the boat was difficult for us and he was sensitive to this transitional time in our lives. In addition, when it came time for closing, Micki made sure everything was in order and didn’t forget about us once the boat was delivered to her new owners. They are a great team!
Rob and Micki were great to work with and all of their five star ratings are well deserved! I was on the purchasing end as a remote buyer and they made the whole experience seamless. They answered my many questions and provided great recommendations for insurance, transportation and surveyor. Micki efficiently took care of all of the paperwork and explained what I needed to do after the purchase. They are top quality people and I would highly recommend them!
I’ve purchased and sold multiple boats through Fillingham Yacht Sales. Rob and Micki provide exceptional communication and outstanding customer service. 10 Stars!
Mike, and Mickey were without a doubt the best people I have ever bought a boat from. From their quick call backs to the absolute no delay paperwork signing and approvals and the best part was their knowledge and professionalism. I didn’t buy a boat from a broker I’m proud to say I bought a boat from my now life long friends.
We worked with Al Lima. We actually met him because the broker we had was always unavailable. The vessel we wanted to look at was listed with Al. He was super!!! always early to our appointments, wasn’t pushy, he was actually someone we would love to just sit and chat with. The whole experience was awesome. Not only was he extra helpful w information we requested but was super quick about getting the answers for us. I would definitely recommend him. To any one. Thank you Al… we are in love with Mama!
I recently purchased a 1991 Sabre 38 MK II where Fillingham Yacht Sales was the Owner Broker. The sale was handled by Micki Siviter and Greg Petrat. The whole experience was excellent and what can be a complicated and difficult process went very smoothly due to Micki’s and Greg’s efforts. Both were always readily available and always went above and beyond to help me through the process. Thank you so much. read more
Rob and Micki were easy to work with and extremely helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better broker when buying a boat, they went the extra mile and made the transaction easy! Professional and personable! We highly recommend their team when purchasing a boat! Thank you for everything, we are very happy!
I recently closed on a 28 sea ray sundeck. Robert and Micki went way above my expectations and were extremely helpful and communicated throughout the whole process. To add to it, I’m a remote buyer. I showed up to check out the boat . When I decided to buy it, I let Robert know and he did everything that needed to be done for me and more. Highly recommend! read more
Great people to work with. Process was seemless. Micki and Anna kept us informed throughout. Highly recommend Fillingham!
Fillingham made is very easy to list, show and sell our boat. Once the buyer was identified all the paperwork and details were handled quickly. Great service and very knowledgeable, highly recommend!
Fillingham Yachts provided us with very good service during the time our sailboat was listed with them. Their agents responded with professionalism and genuine concern as our boat took a few years to sell. Their advice was on target as our agent read the market and met with prospective buyers as soon as interest appeared. During the sale, the business office expedited the process quickly and smoothly, making the final process easy. We highly recommend Fillingham Yachts. read more
We had a great experience buying our first sailboat. Although Jim Clark was representing the seller, he went out of his way to make sure that we had a positive experience pre and post purchase. With us being out of town he was there to support us and recommend the various service providers that we need. read more
Very professional service provided by very personable and helpful people.
Mike was awesome in helping me purchase a Sea Ray 310 Sundancer. Not only did he assist me with negotiating a great deal with the seller but he was always available to help me with any questions I may have had with regard to the boat. In addition, he pointed out some potential issues the boat may have and advised on some early maintenance items that I should attend to. This was all before purchasing the boat, so that I knew exactly what I was buying and what some additional costs may be. I also had to go and see the boat a few times to get photos for insurance, etc. and Mike was always more than willing to be there for me. Micki was also great in helping me with all of the administration (title, registration, purchasing documents, etc.). All in all this was an exceptional boat buying experience, and I would recommend Fillingham Yachts Sales to anyone looking for a boat! read more
Perfect experience working with Rob and Micki. Rob helped with all the details of narrowing down the boats I wanted to look at and then working with me through the sea trial and negotiations. Then as we got down to a time crunch for the closing Micki went above and beyond to help make sure everything got done on time. Can’t imagine a better experience. The lender they referred me too was fantastic as well. read more
Great service, knowledgeable, handled the details perfect and I would recommend Fillingham Yacht Sales to anyone buying or selling.
Robert and Micki did a great job selling my Pursuit. They provided a professional and honest assessment of the boats value. Got it sold efficiency. Micki produced all required paperwork, and got it out in a timely manner. I would recommend Fillingham Yachts for your goto boat broker.

Oranienbaum (Lomonosov)
Still commonly known by its post-war name of Lomonosov, the estate at Oranienbaum is the oldest of the Imperial Palaces around St. Petersburg, and also the only one not to be captured by Nazi forces during the Great Patriotic War. Founded by Prince Menshikov, Peter the Great's closest adviser, the Grand Palace is one of the most opulent examples of Petrine architecture to have survived to the present, although until very recently the palace itself has been greatly neglected. After Menshikov's death, Oranienbaum passed to the state, and was used as a hospice until, in 1743, it was presented by Empress Elizabeth to her nephew, the future Peter III. Peter made Oranienbaum his official summer residence and transformed one corner of the park, ordering the construction of a "Joke" Castle and a small citadel manned by his Holstein guards. This peculiar ensemble, called Petershtadt, was mostly demolished during Pavel's reign. Antonio Rinaldi, the Italian-born architect who also designed the Grand Palace at Gatchina and the Marble Palace in St. Petersburg, was commissioned by Peter in 1758 to build a modest stone palace next to the fortress, and this has survived.
After Peter was deposed, Rinaldi was commissioned by Catherine the Great to build the Chinese Palace, in the Upper Park, as her official country residence. However, Catherine spent little time at Oranienbaum, which she had grown to hate during her marriage to Peter, and by the end of the 18 th century the estate had been turned into a Naval Cadet College. The palace became an Imperial residence again in the reign of Alexander I, and retained that status until the Revolution, when it was immediately opened as a museum. Although never captured by the Germans, Oranienbaum was bombarded during the war and, while the Grand Menshikov Palace survived intact, its restoration was given much lower priority than the more famous estates at Peterhof and Tsarskoe Selo. Today, the small but elegant park has been almost completely restored, while the full restoration of the palaces has finally gained momentum over the last decade.
