Officina Armare A88 GranSport: sleek, modern and sportive design with excessive power
The streamlined design and frozen grey coloring add to the elegant but aggressive profile and her performance is enhanced by numerous air intakes, some adding to the form of the hardtop. Share
Automotive-inspired style has crept its way into the design of the Officina Armare A88 GranSport: a coupe-like roofline, 4 overwater exhausts and accentuated aft hips emulate hypercars and give the A88 a distinctive look among the populated superyacht market. A unique blend of modern and sportive, luxurious and comfortable ambience. She can sleep up to 8 guests in 4 beautifully appointed cabins: two large Master Suites and two twin cabins, all with en-suite facilities.
The imposing bow adds muscle to the profile and the sweeping sheer line extends in an unbroken line from stem to stern that creates a timeless, sleek appearance. The aerodynamic hardtop meanwhile is designed with large glass panels for guests to choose between sunshine and shade. The fabulous full beam Master suite incorporating a sit-down shower is exceptionally bright with windows running either side. In addition, there is a king-sized bed and a mini lounge area.
Teak with carbon fiber accents to tie in with her sporty performance and a sleek exterior that gives the impression of speed even when stationary. Carbon fiber overwater exhausts and lateral carbon fiber wings located on each side which are hosting navigation lights complete the super sport look.
Amidships are the two guest cabins, one being an adjustable double/twin and the other a twin cabin. Forward brings us to the second Master suite and all cabins offer luxury en-suite facilities. Inside, variants in the layout allow for 2–3 guest cabins plus a twin crew cabin and the decor is completely customizable for the Owner to leave his or her mark on the spacious and naturally lit interiors.
Family and friends can relax in convivial comfort by sinking into the generous seating and sunbeds and enjoy al fresco dining thanks to the galley unit. The foredeck features a second more intimate dining area for up to 8 guests as well as further two large sun pads with a bimini cover offering extra privacy for guests.

A spacious galley at aft lower deck and indoor dining area for 8 on main deck make for enjoyable living on board and fully equipped bar maximizes the experience.
The tender garage is equipped with pair of Seabobs and a Williams SportJet 435 on it’s own launching system. A new Besenzoni anchoring system with an extending arm to simplify anchor operations, is hidden behind a flush-fitting hatch in the bow in order to create harmony with the rest of the hull and can be operated from the helm station.
