Moonday Yachts 780WA is a 7.8 m walkaround outboard cruiser aimed more at day boating than serious cruising. The hull form and open deck layout prioritize easy movement, fishing or lounging space, and straightforward docking, while the compact cabin makes it usable for occasional overnight stays rather than full-time living.
On the water, the model is generally described with brisk performance for its size, with public listings citing a top speed around 52 knots depending on engine package. That points to lively acceleration and efficient coastal running, but the actual feel will depend heavily on the selected outboard, load, and sea conditions. Handling should be manageable for an owner-operator, with the walkaround format helping confidence during mooring and deck work.
Comfort is decent for a boat in this class, but space is limited. The single cabin, one head, and modest tank capacities suggest a setup best suited to short family outings, coastal weekends, and private charters rather than extended cruising. For the money, it can be a sensible option if buyers value a modern-looking, versatile 26-footer and confirm the exact specification, since equipment and power ratings vary across listings.
