La

Running a yacht this size day to day comes down to the crew, and LA carries three of them to look after eight guests across five cabins, a ratio that keeps her simple to live aboard rather than a project to manage. Sanlorenzo built her in 2022, and at eighty-eight feet she sits at a size where a small, capable crew still covers everything a family needs.

Build and provenance

Sanlorenzo built LA as an SX88, the yard's crossover between a flybridge cruiser and an open explorer, delivered in 2022. She carries a fibreglass hull with a carbon-fibre superstructure, a combination the yard uses for strength without extra weight up top. At 115 gross tonnes and a 7.2-metre beam, she has the volume of a genuinely large flybridge yacht.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across five cabins, including a full-beam suite that runs the width of the hull, with a separate area kept for the three crew who run her, apart from guest life. The main deck runs as one open level from the aft terrace to the bow, so the space owners actually use is not carved into separate rooms. On the flybridge, the helm station encloses and air-conditions completely, which frees the main deck below for guests rather than reserving part of it for driving the boat.

Performance and engineering

Three Volvo Penta IPS1050 engines drive her. Cruising at 20 knots, she is built to cover ground at a pace a family can live with, not to chase a headline number.

Where she lies and how to see her

LA lies in Monaco. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing there and comes aboard with you, and if your offer is accepted, we line up the survey and sea trial that follow before anything closes.
