Walkaround of the BSC 78 Elegance

The Italian built BSC 78 is a model in their Tourism series.

In this video, they feature it in the Elegance trim, which includes special touches like a leather steering wheel and plush, quilted cushions.

The rear seating area is designed in an asymmetrical U-shape, with the right side extending fully into the space, unlike the left. This section is additionally cushioned to ensure passenger comfort and safety, even at higher speeds.

The helm console is positioned completely to the right, allowing for a wide passageway from the rear to the front of the boat. The tall, wraparound windshield offers excellent protection for the driver and co-pilot.

Raising the back of the driver’s seat reveals a kitchenette equipped with a countertop and sink. A pull-out refrigerator is conveniently located under the helm station.
