Sirena 88 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 semi-displacement hull of the 88 delivers speeds of up to 25 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: award-winning design, category a seakeeping, 25-knot top speed, owner’s suite with private deck and large flybridge equipped for parties.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Sirena Yachts 88 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. Some of its rivals, including the Arcadia A85 and Horizon FD87, share the same 12 guest sleeping capacity, making them excellent choices for those seeking to enjoy their yachting experience with family and friends. The 88 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, an owners balcony and a dressing table is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Numarine 26 XP and Sanlorenzo SX88, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 8 guests in 4 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sirena Yachts 88 delivers a steady 17 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Princess Y80 with an impressive cruising speed of knots or the Ferretti Yachts Ferretti 860 with a respectable cruising speed of 27 knots.

On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Arcadia A85, with the slowest cruising speed of 15 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.
