Owner Experience Review
Owners and captains who use the Sanlorenzo88for private family cruising, island-hopping, and charter point to its liveability and social flow. The four-cabin arrangements, typically with a full-beam master where a king-size berth dominates, make it practical for family or mixed guest groups. A spacious salon that opens to the aft deck and a forward "country kitchen" galley support both service and casual gatherings, while the large flybridge provides seating, sunbeds, and a bar/grill setup for weekend entertaining.
On the water, earlier semi-displacement examples are reported to cruise comfortably in the low-to-mid-20-knot range with a composed, responsive feel suited to coastal and island routes. The later crossover iteration introduced around 2017–2018 is described as designed to control pitching and shed spray; sea-trial notes cite a quiet, stable ride that reached about 23 knots in roughly 2-foot chop thanks to engine placement and insulation.
From an ownership standpoint, many examples offer walk-around engine-room access that simplifies routine service on the twin mains. Offsetting that, forum and technician reports mention long lead times for some parts from Italian yards—often on the order of three to four months—and warn that semi-custom change orders can create access or fit issues requiring rectification during or after build. It is also common to see periodic interior, exterior, and generator refits documented as part of the normal lifecycle and cost profile.
Pros and Cons
- Family- and charter-friendly layout with a full-beam master and flexible four-cabin arrangements.
- Spacious salon, aft deck, and a large flybridge with social amenities suit weekend entertaining.
- Composed ride at typical 20–25-knot cruises, with later crossover variants praised for quiet, controlled motion.
- Some replacement parts from Italian yards can have long lead times, often several months.
- Semi-custom change orders have been known to create access or fit challenges that need rectification.
- Many examples undergo periodic refits, adding to normal lifecycle ownership costs.
