88' Sirena Yachts 2020

The Sirena 88 has terrific dockside presence thanks to its imposing height, but nothing quite prepares you for your first glimpse into the interior. It looks and feels huge. It’s all thanks to a 23-foot beam, although headroom might also have something to do with it—a generous 6 foot, 8 inches all through the main deck. Step inside from the broad, shaded expanse of the cockpit and you are faced with big windows, dark hardwoods, light upholstery, and illuminated ceiling panels that provide visual depth and contrast. Sliding glass doors to either side of the dining table add exceptional sight lines to the mix. A rational, right-angled layout leaves plenty of open floor and clear walkways.

This sense of having strayed aboard a superyacht—or at least onto something a good deal bigger than 88 feet—continues as you walk forward, past the stairs leading up to the raised pilothouse and into the owner’s suite, a full-beam affair with floor-to-ceiling windows and capacious head and shower compartments flanking a pair of ceramic basins mounted on a marble plinth. A balcony can be fitted as an option. The short companionway forward provides private access via a hatch to the foredeck, with its sunpads and optional dipping pool—a sort of bathtub with teak side decks and a glass front.

Four cabins on board can accommodate eight in two doubles and two twins. The full-beam VIP amidships takes the prize as the most opulent suite with its expansive floor area.
