The Sanlorenzo SL88 is an 87-foot luxury motor yacht with a flybridge that was produced by the award-winning Italian yacht-building brand Sanlorenzo between the years of 2004 and 2011. A sleek, streamlined profile with a sharp entry, tinted wrap-around glazing and bridge flares gives this yacht a modern feel from afar, while sedate interiors present a more traditional and luxurious feel. Still a popular option on the used and charter markets, the SL88 looks set to impress for years to come thanks to its robust hull, superb build quality and powerful diesel engines.

The teak-lined flybridge is covered by a sculptural hard-top with opening sun-louvres, and there is space up here to aft for tender storage and a hydraulic davit. Further forward you will rest on a set of rear sunloungers or enjoy meals at a U-shaped leather sofa and table. A walk-in wet bar comes with bar stools, solid work surfaces, an ice-chipper and a grill, while the forward helm station comes with four comfortable piloting chairs. A companionway door leads into the raised wheelhouse for all-weather piloting, and in here you will discover bow and stern thruster controls, two Raymarine monitors, autopilot, VHF radio, Caterpillar engine feedback, joystick handling and a steering wheel.
A forward-facing, U-shaped sofa in weatherproofed upholstery comes with a table and provides the perfect spot for secluded, late afternoon aperitifs while soaking up the last of the sun. Head back to the sheltered aft deck, meanwhile, and enjoy meals at a transom sofa that has been paired with a timber-topped outdoor dining table. Side steps back here lead down to a broad, teak-lined bathing platform and passarelle that can double as a tender storage.
Elegant interiors present a classically European style with a blend of glossy rosewood and warm cherry or, for a more restrained feel, lighter oak surrounds. Detailed wainscotting, mirrored wall panels and widescreen windows with Venetian blinds frame a space with an L-shaped leather sofa, a glass-topped coffee table and Ottomans, while further forward is a formal dining table with room for eight guests. At the front of this deck there are head facilities, a dining booth and an enclosed galley with Miele appliances and granite countertops.
Four en-suite staterooms on the lower deck provide room for up to eight overnight guests, with two twins, a VIP queen cabin and crew quarters across the front half of the hull. To aft there is a full-beam owner’s stateroom with a king-sized bed, large hull windows, a work-desk, leather wall panels for sound mitigation, an armchair, a walk-in closet and a large, stone-lined bathroom with a waterfall shower cubicle.
Twin Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesel engines promote top speeds of up to 24 knots with comfortable cruising speeds clocking in at around 18 knots. A range of up to 700 nautical miles at lower speeds allows for week-long island-hopping trips without needing to refuel, while a set of optional Seakeeper stabilizers ensure that the SL88’s GRP hull remains superbly balanced.
