A heritage flybridge with alternative plans
The same document shows more than one flybridge and interior arrangement, a useful reminder that the number alone cannot identify the offered furniture or rooms. Its raised bridge and traditional flybridge profile belong to the earlier SL family, not the SX88 crossover.
For Bonifacio, compare the upper table and shade with the enclosed main saloon below. A later refit may change the finishes substantially without turning the yacht into a different serial model.
Let the flybridge add a different part of the day
An upper view can be a pleasant setting for an early drink or a quieter interval after lunch. It does not need to host every activity simply because it is the highest social space. Review the offered cover, seats and table against the hours planned aboard.
The main saloon supplies an enclosed alternative, while the aft cockpit can keep guests closer to boarding and water access. For a family group, explain who may prefer to avoid repeated climbing. The actual stairs and handholds are part of the comfort comparison.
Read heritage accommodation with care
The original manufacturer brochure lists eight guest berths and four crew berths. Individual SL88 examples can have different room arrangements and later modifications, so those numbers should not allocate the charter party automatically. A documented regional example uses four guest cabins, but another yacht’s plan may differ.
For nights aboard, confirm bed types and facilities. For a day charter, focus on the shared seats and dining arrangement instead. The permitted guest count and crew supplied belong to the specific vessel and operating offer, separately from its brochure accommodation.
A southern Corsican day can remain unhurried
A passage past the Bonifacio cliffs, lunch and a suitable pause can give the outing a clear shape without a crowded route. The upper and lower spaces allow guests to change atmosphere while remaining aboard. If a swim interval is important, discuss the actual access and equipment with the operator rather than assuming a refitted platform matches an older brochure.
Stops towards the Lavezzi area depend on conditions and applicable rules. Keep the return time visible, particularly when guests have a transfer or evening commitment after disembarking.
Resolve the model name before comparing offers
Listings sometimes shorten the name to Sanlorenzo 88. Here, primary documentation identifies the original SL88; a stray number in a broker’s web address is not used as the model specification. Ask for the actual build year, layout and current photographs.
Give the Bonifacio date, party, hours or nights and reason for choosing a heritage flybridge. The written proposal establishes departure, crew, permitted guests, equipment and complete cost.
Charter questions
Is the SL88 the same as the SX88?
No. The SL88 is a heritage planing flybridge model; the SX88 is a different crossover design.
Can an older SL88 have a different interior from the brochure?
Yes. Model plans and later refits vary. Review current photographs and the actual accommodation arrangement.
