The Extra Yachts range of yachts designed by Francesco Guida promises to be very fast, with the first 26-metre Extra 86 Fast model able to reach over 30 knots thanks to three 985 hp Volvo Penta engines coupled with IPS propulsion.

Extra 86 Fast was launched last week in Ancona, Italy. The boat was built by Palumbo Superyachts shipyard.

In addition to the impressive speed characteristics for a yacht of this size and type, Extra 86 Fast boasts an abundance of useful interior space and a well-thought-out layout. The kitchen is forward on the main deck. The window that separates the galley from the aft outdoor seating area can be fully opened for ease of maintenance. The aft area is indeed generously sized at 50 square metres. There is a large U-shaped sofa, table, sun lounger and swim platform. Another open-air seating area is situated on the bow.

The covered part of the deck is fully glazed so the saloon offers panoramic views. Below deck there are staterooms for eight persons each with ensuite facilities. The VIP cabin is located in the bow of the boat and the full-beam master stateroom is located amidships.

The second helm station is on flybridge and there is a wet bar and lounge chairs.

In addition to the 26m, Extra Yachts will offer 23m, 28m, 36.5m and 40m. Extra 93 and Extra 130 are under construction and will be on show at theCannes Boat Show( 86, 86 Fastand 93) and in Monaco (130 Alloy).
