ARMA VII

**Alalunga 78 Flybridge — *Arma VII*** Cruising Italy There is a particular kind of Italian motoryacht that reads well from every angle — quick on her feet, unfussy in her lines, comfortable without asking for attention. *Arma VII* belongs to that family. She is built for the Italian coast: fast enough to make a distant anchorage a lunch decision rather than a day's commitment, and settled enough to make the crossing pleasant. Accommodation Four cabins on the lower deck sleep eight guests. The master and the VIP are both full-beam, which changes the experience entirely — genuine width, natural light from both sides, and the kind of volume that makes a week aboard feel unhurried. Each is fitted with a double bed. Two further cabins with twin beds complete the layout, well suited to children, friends travelling together, or guests who simply prefer their own arrangement. Life aboard The main-deck salon is arranged around two sofas, with a separate formal dining area rather than a single multipurpose space — a distinction that matters when eight people are aboard and not everyone wants to do the same thing at the same time. The galley sits forward, properly equipped, giving the chef room to work without the compromises that come with smaller yachts of this generation. Outside, *Arma VII* offers more deck than her length suggests. Dinner is served alfresco on the aft deck, close to the water and the harbour lights. The foredeck solarium is the quiet corner of the yacht for a long afternoon in the sun. Up on the flybridge, a large sun pad and a dinette make the natural gathering point at anchor — the place where the day slows down and no one is in a hurry to go below. Crew and service She is offered fully crewed, with a chef aboard. The style of service is discreet and attentive: meals judged to the rhythm of your days rather than a fixed timetable, and a captain who knows how to read the Italian coast — where to anchor for a calm night, which bays are worth an early start, and when to simply move on. For a family or a group of friends looking for interiors with polish, real outdoor living space and the pace to cover ground between anchorages, *Arma VII* is a well-judged choice for a Mediterranean charter.
