Astrimare II Sells at EUR 5.6m as Sanlorenzo SL86 Resales Soften

A Near-New Flagship Changes Hands

Fraser Yachts announced on 14 August 2026 that Astrimare II, a 26.76 metre (86 foot) Sanlorenzo SL86, has sold. The yacht is hull number 799 from the Sanlorenzo yard and was delivered new in 2024, so the boat had barely two seasons of use before its first resale. Fraser had already cut the asking price once, to EUR 5,600,000, in an announcement dated 9 April 2026; the brokerage's public listings do not disclose the earlier, higher figure, nor the final agreed sale price against that reduced ask.

The SL86 is one of Sanlorenzo's best-selling flybridge models, built in GRP on a deep-V planing hull, and Astrimare II carries the yard's standard naval architecture with exterior and interior styling by Zuccon International Project, the Milan studio that has drawn most of Sanlorenzo's motor yacht range since the 2010s. At 81.25 GT the boat sits just under the 3,000-GT and 24-metre thresholds that would pull it into stricter commercial or large-yacht compliance regimes if ever chartered commercially, which keeps ownership costs closer to a large flybridge cruiser's than a small superyacht's.

What The Boat Actually Offers

Astrimare II sleeps eight guests across four en-suite staterooms, including a full-beam owner's suite, a configuration that is unusual on an 86-footer and normally only appears on yachts several metres longer. A separate VIP suite and two twin cabins fill out the guest count, with crew of four in forward quarters. Twin MAN diesels totalling 4,000 hp give a listed 32-knot top speed and a 27-knot cruise, with a range of about 400 nautical miles at cruise speed on 8,000 litres of fuel.

The equipment list matters as much as the numbers for a buyer comparing used boats: Astrimare II already carries zero-speed stabilisers, a feature that adds meaningfully to a new-build price if specified from the yard, plus a Williams SportJet 435 tender stowed in the garage. Large side windows in the salon, a Zuccon signature on this generation of Sanlorenzo, were called out specifically in the boat's own sale listing as a differentiator versus sister ships.

The Price Tells a Softer Story Than the Spec Sheet

A new SL86 currently lists from roughly EUR 6.6 million and runs to about USD 7.8 million for a heavily optioned example, based on current-year listings from Sanlorenzo dealers. Astrimare II's EUR 5.6 million asking price, for a boat with two years of use, zero-speed stabilisers already fitted and a full-beam master already installed, sits well inside what a buyer would pay to option a new hull to the same specification once yard lead times and change-order costs are added in.

It is not an isolated data point. A 2022-model SL86 named Miss Liza, listed with a US broker at 385 engine hours, had its own asking price cut to USD 6.195 million around the same period, according to Yachting Magazine's brokerage coverage. Two different SL86s, two different owners, two price reductions inside the same year points to a resale market that is absorbing new SL86 deliveries faster than it is finding buyers for the used ones already on the water, not a one-off pricing decision by a single seller.

Why The Model Still Moves

None of this means the SL86 is unpopular. Sanlorenzo has built and delivered SL86s in enough volume that hull 799 alone tells you the model line, and the yard's broader range around it, has been in continuous, high-cadence production for years. The model sits in the size band where a private owner can still run the boat without a full-time captain's licence in most flag states, while offering full-beam accommodation and blue-water range that smaller flybridge cruisers cannot match.

What has changed is not demand for the model but the supply of near-new examples reaching the brokerage market at the same time new-build slots have become easier to secure than during the order backlogs of 2022 and 2023. When a buyer can get a new SL86 on a workable delivery date, a two-year-old resale has to price itself meaningfully below that new-build cost to compete, which is exactly what both Astrimare II and Miss Liza did this year. Against its closest rivals the SL86 is not the fastest or the roomiest choice: the Azimut Grande 26M and 27M sleep up to ten guests across five cabins, two more than the SL86's eight, and the Riva 88 Folgore cruises at 33 knots against the SL86's 27. What Astrimare II's buyer is paying for instead is the full-beam owner's suite and the Zuccon interior finish that neither Azimut rival matches at this length, which is exactly the trade a used-boat buyer needs spelled out rather than left to a spec-sheet comparison.

What A Buyer Should Check On A Used SL86

Engine hours matter more than age on this model: Miss Liza's 385 hours at three years old is a genuinely low-use boat, and Astrimare II's own hour count was not disclosed in either Fraser announcement reviewed for this story, which is itself worth asking a broker directly rather than assuming from delivery year alone. Warranty status is the second question, since Sanlorenzo's structural and mechanical warranties are transferable on some models only within a set window from original delivery, and a 2024 boat sold in 2026 may be close to that line.

Beyond the mechanicals, buyers should confirm which options were yard-fitted versus dealer-added, since zero-speed stabilisers and a full-beam master are both meaningful cost items that a seller will rightly price into the boat, but that a buyer should verify rather than take from a listing sheet alone. No independent survey report on Astrimare II is publicly available; every figure in this story comes from Fraser's own listing and sale announcements or from Sanlorenzo's published specification for the SL86 line.
