Essenza

A flybridge deck changes how a yacht reads from the water, and on Essenza it sits above a clean, low profile rather than piling height on height. Sanlorenzo built her as an SL86 in 2023 and at 26 metres her lines carry that upper deck without losing proportion. She is offered through Boatcrowd from Seattle.

Build and provenance

Essenza is a monohull with a GRP hull, the material Sanlorenzo uses for a stiff, stable platform at speed. There is no refit on her record, which means the survey a buyer commissions will read the yacht much as she left the yard rather than tracing years of later work.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests split across four cabins. The flybridge adds a second living level above the main deck, so guests have two distinct spaces to spread across rather than one.

Performance and engineering

Her cruising speed is 27 knots and she tops out at 32 knots. For a buyer, that means a short transit between anchorages and the choice of an afternoon run rather than a full day's passage to reach the next stop.

Where she lies and how to see her

Essenza lies in Seattle. Boatcrowd sets up the viewing appointment and stands beside you through it, and once you and the seller have shaken hands on terms the next steps are a survey and a sea trial before the sale closes.
