Sanibella is a 2019 Ocean Alexander 88 Motoryacht which underwent an extensive refit in 2014. It is located in West Palm Beach, Florida, and is listed by HMY Yacht Sales at $5.795 million.
This vessel has a unique distinction as one of only four E88s ever built, with a full skylounge and plenty of space to relax or socialize. Sanibella also has a sundeck equipped with seating and dining areas, a hot tub and sunbathing areas. The added volume allows for additional mechanical equipment including at-rest stabilizers, bow and stern thrusters and a waste treatment center, all of which are commonly seen on much larger vessels. The twin 1,600 hp Caterpillar C-32 ACERT engines have extended warranty through 2029.
The layout has a full-beam owner stateroom, a large VIP stateroom and two spacious guest cabins, all with ensuite heads. Sanibella has a crew area for three including a captain’s cabin with a double bed and a second cabin with two berths.
Designed for long-range comfort, Sanibella has a cruising speed of 10 knots and a top hop of 21 knots according to the builder. The Zero Speed stabilizers keep things stable while underway or at anchor.

Yachting previously wrote: “Every yacht starts with a designer facing a blank sheet of paper, with a fresh and unusual layout. In addition, you’ll find a comfortable list of “must-includes” in one hand. What happens next can be yet another variation on a tired theme or a cleverly designed motoryacht that excels on all levels. In the case of the Ocean Alexander 88 Motoryacht, the result clearly reflects the latter. This is an 88-footer with the space you’d expect to find on yachts far larger.
“Actually, my original instructions were to create a three-stateroom yacht,” says Destry Darr, whose Destry Darr Designs of Ft. Lauderdale did both the layout and the decor. ”When the plan changed to four cabins, well, I had to do some creative rearranging.””
Where is Sanibella located? The yacht is currently lying in West Palm Beach, Florida.
