Estia

A boat that removes the wall between the main deck and the beach area at the stern changes how a day on board unfolds: guests move between saloon, cockpit and swim platform without a step marking the change. Sanlorenzo built Estia to that idea in 2022, and at 26 metres she carries it through a genuinely open main deck. She lies in Liguria, Italy, offered through Boatcrowd.

Build and provenance

The SX88's wheelhouse sits on the upper deck rather than the main deck, freeing the main deck into one continuous space between saloon and cockpit. Sliding panels close the upper deck into a climate-controlled lounge in poor weather, or open it on three sides when the weather is kind. Estia's hull is GRP, and her beam of 7.2 metres and draft of 1.7 metres are consistent across the SX88 line she was delivered from in 2022.

Layout and accommodation

Below, four cabins hold a master suite, a VIP stateroom forward, and a pair of twins, sleeping up to eight guests without anyone doubling up. A crew of three runs her, a number that works because the open main deck above removes the wheelhouse's footprint and leaves less space to service.

Performance and engineering

Three 800 hp Volvo Penta IPS engines, carrying 1,332 hours between them, give Estia a cruising speed of 20 knots and a top speed of 23 knots. She holds 9.300 litres of fuel, tankage built for a run of days rather than a single afternoon. Two Kohler generators, one rated at 35 kW with 2,784 hours and a second at 28 kW with 2,529 hours, keep the systems running at anchor without the mains turning over.

On deck and at anchor

At anchor, stabilisers hold her level and dynamic positioning lets her sit in place without setting an anchor at all, useful over a reef or a crowded mooring field. The hardtop opens electrically over the flybridge, and a hydraulic stern platform lowers to the water for swimming or launching a tender.

Where she lies and how to see her

Estia lies in Liguria, Italy, where Boatcrowd arranges a viewing and is there for it. If an offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before anything is final. She also charters through Boatcrowd, so a buyer can spend a week aboard her before deciding to buy, with no rates to work through here.
