Look at the CL Yachts CLB88 in profile, and you\u2019ll notice a combination of key design elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s the fine entry and high freeboard forward, and the form transitions into a straight sheerline gently descending in height as it stretches aft, resolving at the cockpit. The subtle drop helps create a relatively aggressive profile. It\u2019s a look that the CLB88\u2032s raked windows forward enhance, and that the lean-forward look of the hardtop and flybridge supports. The yacht\u2019s amalgam of shapes creates a singular, salty aesthetic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Beneath the seafaring look is function. The yacht has a resin-infused build in a combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber, reducing weight and maintaining strength. The hull form is reinforced by a 3,000-gallon integral fuel tank, essentially creating a double-hull bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The CLB88\u2032s interior is \u201cfloated\u201d too, meaning interior elements are not directly tied into the yacht\u2019s support structure, resulting in reduced vibration and what should be a quiet ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This motoryacht\u2019s ride could be spirited as well. Twin 1,600 hp Caterpillar C32 Acerts reportedly push it to a 25-knot top hop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

\n The main deck has a constant connection to the sea with nearly 360 degrees of glass. Ambient light adds to the sense of interior volume. The salon has an L shaped settee to port with two loose chairs across, and there is formal dining for six guests forward of the sitting area.<\/span>\n Courtesy CL Yachts<\/span>\n\n\t\t\t\t <\/figcaption>\n <\/section>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n

This yacht has four staterooms, plus two crew cabins. There are five guest heads and one crew head. The master stateroom is full-beam amidships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

A lower helm and country kitchen are forward on the main deck, with the dinette across from the helm. The CLB88\u2032s flybridge is set up for alfresco meals with L-shaped seating and a table to port, as well as a bar with five stools to starboard. Forward on centerline is the helm station, and to port is companion seating. Far aft is room for chaise-style chairs and a davit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

The CLB88 is for yachtsmen ready to transition to a crewed vessel. It has room for a cruising family, offers solid performance, has an open floor plan, and is a bluewater build with a high level of customization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
