Vinci II Motor Yacht

The SX88 hull under Vinci II pairs the clean lines of a flybridge cruiser with the practicality of an explorer, and a refit in 2025 has kept her current. She is a 78ft (24m) Sanlorenzo motor yacht from 2020, laid out so the interior opens straight onto the deck.

Where she cruises

Her home port is Antibes, and her range covers France and Monaco. Saint-Tropez lies within reach, along with the Iles d'Or and the coves of the Esterel coast, where she can anchor close in for a swim.

Accommodation and crew

Four en suite cabins sleep eight guests, with a master suite on the main deck, a VIP and two twins, a pullman berth in a twin cabin. Four crew look after them, a crew member for every two guests, and by day she takes twelve, her peak months being July and August.

Comfort under way

Zero-speed stabilisers steady her when she is stopped as well as under way, which keeps the roll down at anchor. She cruises at 17 knots, reaches 23, and burns 290 litres an hour.

On deck

The open-plan salon runs out to a wide aft deck, and the sun deck carries sunpads and a bar in the open air. Her beach club and swim platform bring guests down to the water.

Water toys

Seven toys travel with her: two Sea Scooters, two SUP boards, water skis, a wakeboard, a towable tube and snorkelling gear, and the William Sportjet 435 tender tows the board and the tube as well as running guests ashore.

Charter notes

Vinci II suits a family or a group of friends out on the water in France. A week is the usual hire, and she can also be chartered for a shorter stay, which gives a family the choice of less than a full week aboard.
