Sanlorenzo SX88 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the SX88 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best international new release (24-30m)"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the SX88 delivers speeds of up to 23 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: super-cool suv style, 23-knot performance, versatile 3-5 cabin layouts, massive open salon and dining option and enclosed upper deck lounge or dining.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo SX88 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 8 guests with its 4 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Ferretti Yachts INFYNITO 90 and Ocean Alexander 28E offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 10 guests in 5 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the SX88 features a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, hull side windows and a walk-in wardrobe and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Sunseeker 86 and Horizon E88 also offer 4 cabins, but with facilities for 8 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sanlorenzo SX88 delivers a steady 20 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess Y85 with an impressive cruising speed of 30 knots or the Princess X80 with a respectable cruising speed of 25 knots. The Sanlorenzo SX88 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 Outer Reef Yachts Adventure 780, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 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 Outer Reef Yachts 900 Motoryacht impresses with its extensive range of 3,800 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Ocean Alexander 28E, Ocean Alexander 27E and Azimut 26M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Princess Y85 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 32 knots and cruising speed of 30 knots. The Wally why200 has an impressive gross tonnage of 200GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo SX88 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.
