Danida

Three engines under way is the detail that stands out about Danida. Sanlorenzo delivered the SX88 in 2020, and her three Volvo Penta IPS 1050 units mean a buyer has power in reserve if one ever needs attention out at sea.

Build and provenance

She is a Sanlorenzo SX88, a flybridge motor yacht on a single hull, twenty-seven metres in length. Delivery came in 2020, and she has a flybridge layout.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins, with a crew of four to run the boat, a ratio that keeps a hand close by without a large crew underfoot. Four cabins suits a family group or two couples sharing the boat, each with a berth of their own.

Performance and engineering

Three Volvo Penta IPS 1050 engines drive her, spreading the load across three points so a buyer keeps power in hand even if one engine ever needs attention. Stabilisers hold her steady at anchor as well as under way, keeping the twenty-seven metre hull settled through a full night aboard.

On deck and at anchor

Her beach club opens the stern to the water, a place for swimming and for guests to move easily between the boat and the sea through the day, the kind of space that turns a stop at anchor into an afternoon spent by the water.

Where she lies and how to see her

Danida is lying in Marina di Stabia, near Naples, and we can put a viewing together on short notice, attending in person each time. After an offer is accepted, a surveyor comes aboard and a sea trial follows, the two steps that come before she changes hands.
