Jacki 8 Motor Yacht

An asymmetric layout is the detail that sets Jacki 8 apart. Sanlorenzo moved the port-side passage up onto the superstructure roof on this SL96 Asymmetric and kept a single walkaround to starboard, freeing roughly ten square metres of interior volume for a wider, brighter saloon. She dates from 2020 and runs 29 metres on the water, a flybridge motor yacht on a single hull.

Build and provenance

Sanlorenzo built Jacki 8 as an SL96 Asymmetric, a monohull flybridge design with a beam of 6.76 metres and a draft of 1.98 metres. The asymmetric hull is the model's defining engineering choice as much as a styling one: relocating the passage frees the full beam for the saloon, which is why the room reads open rather than corridor-shaped.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of four keep the boat running, a ratio that lets one crew member focus on each pair of guests. The full-beam master suite takes advantage of the asymmetric layout directly, occupying width a single-passage design further forward could not offer. A library gives guests a quiet retreat.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,216 hp MTU 16V2000M86 engines carry Jacki 8 to a 24-knot cruise and a 29-knot top speed, putting her in planing territory rather than displacement cruising. Stabilisers hold her level at rest, and her engine room is described as showing low hours, useful to know before a survey.

On deck and at anchor

The flybridge is the main outdoor room aboard Jacki 8, and satellite TV and WiFi keep it usable for work as well as leisure while at anchor.

Where she lies and how to see her

Boatcrowd is the point of contact for Jacki 8. We arrange viewings and attend them ourselves, and once an offer is accepted we set up the survey and sea trial that follow before handover.
