Zaffiro III Motor Yacht

Entertaining at anchor is where Zaffiro III is built to work: her open stern turns into a large aft deck for guests and toys, and up top the flybridge carries a bar, a grill and its own dining table. Sanlorenzo completed her in 2020 as an SX88, and the customisation since has gone into exactly that, a boat for having people aboard rather than simply cruising past them.

Build and provenance

Sanlorenzo built her as an SX88, delivered in 2020 with a four-cabin layout finished with the kind of customisation a standard build does not carry. Officina Italiana drew her exterior and Lissoni & Partners her interior, a pairing that shows in a main salon of Panda White marble, brushed spruce and furniture from Living Divani and Cassina. She is described as thoroughly maintained since delivery.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, with a crew of three kept in their own quarters so the guest spaces stay guest spaces. The aft deck is open and large enough for tender and toy storage or for guests to use themselves at anchor, and a teak dining table with eight chairs turns it into an outdoor dining room rather than a working deck.

Performance and engineering

Triple IPS propulsion drives her, controlled by joystick at both the main helm and the aft docking station, which makes close-quarters manoeuvring a one-person job rather than a team effort. She cruises at 20 knots and carries 9,300 litres of fuel and 2,000 litres of fresh water, giving her a range of 1,210 nautical miles, more autonomy than a weekend at anchor calls for.

On deck and at anchor

At anchor, zero-speed stabilisers keep her level while guests swim off the stern or sit down to dinner on the aft deck.

Where she lies and how to see her

Zaffiro III's berth was not published with this listing, so Boatcrowd arranges a viewing wherever she currently sits and is there with you when you step aboard. Once an offer is made and accepted, survey and sea trial follow before the sale completes.
