Sold to a repeat client, the yacht is the fourth to be built in the new series following the sales of the Extra 130, 93 and 76. The Extra 130 and Extra 93 models are also set to be imminently launched. All three models will be presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival in September.

Designed inside and out by long term Palumbo collaborator Francesco Guida, the Extra 86 can accommodate eight guests in four cabins, including a full-beam master suite, one large VIP cabin and two twin guest cabins, all with ensuites.
The crew accommodation for a staff of three sits at the bow meanwhile and is accompanied by respective bathrooms.
Other features include a galley aft leading out to an outside dining area. The full beam living room meanwhile sits forward with large sofas and an extendable table. Large windows give the illusion of being in “a large crystal dome”, the builder said.
