Sanlorenzo SL86 Asymmetric Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the planing hull of the SL86A delivers speeds of up to 29 knots.

Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sanlorenzo SL86A offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Azimut 26M and Ocean Alexander 27R NGP have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 10 guests in 5 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The SL86A benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Palm Beach PB85 Flybridge is tailored for somewhat smaller groups of 6 guests yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo SL86A delivers a steady 25 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Riva 88' with an impressive cruising speed of 33 knots or the Ferretti Yachts 860 with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots. The Sanlorenzo SL86A emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Ocean Alexander 27R NGP, with the slowest cruising speed of knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Ocean Alexander 27R NGP impresses with its extensive range of 2,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Azimut 26M allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Riva 88' is especially impressive, with a top speed of 39 knots and cruising speed of 33 knots. The Azimut 27M has an impressive gross tonnage of 145GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo SL86 Asymmetric stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
