Sanlorenzo SL86

27 knots at a cruise and 32 flat out is planing-hull pace, the kind that turns a lunch run into an hour rather than an afternoon. The yard delivered her in 2018, and a 2026 refit means a buyer takes on systems that have just been gone through rather than a list of jobs still to do. Sanlorenzo SL86 lies at Antibes today, ready to view.

Build and provenance

She is a semi-custom motor yacht in GRP, with a GRP superstructure, at 27 metres and a 6.4-metre beam. A 2026 refit followed, and she is described as presenting as new since it was completed.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep in four cabins, with three crew in their own quarters. The owner's cabin has large hull-side windows and its own bathroom with a separate glass shower enclosure, and three further cabins take the remaining six guests. The main saloon is glazed on both sides and aft, wrapped around a marble-topped coffee table, with an internal staircase connecting the main deck to the upper deck.

Performance and engineering

Twin 2,000 hp MTU M96L T3 engines drive her through shaft drives to that 27-knot cruise and 32-knot top speed. Two Kohler generators, one at 25 kW and one at 20.5 kW, back a fuel capacity of 8,000 litres and 1,600 litres of fresh water, tankage built for time away from a marina rather than day trips. Stabilisers hold her level both under way and at anchor.

Recent works

The 2026 refit reached the mechanical side rather than stopping at appearances: engines, generators, stabiliser fins and watermaker were serviced, and the electronics, CCTV and sea water systems, shaft seals included, were checked over too. The hull was repainted and polished, a new tender lift went in, and Starlink and the audio system were renewed.

On deck and at anchor

On deck she offers three separate places to sit: an aft cockpit for shaded dining, a bow lounge with sunpads, and the flybridge itself, hardtop-covered with its own dining table and seating. An elevator connects the decks below, so moving between them need not mean the stairs.

Where she lies and how to see her

Sanlorenzo SL86 lies at Antibes. Boatcrowd takes buyers through the boat there and sets up the sea trial, and once an offer is accepted a survey follows before the paperwork completes.
