CLB88 is shortlisted for Concept Under 40 Metres in The International Yacht & Aviation Awards 2020

With the same innovative spirit that lies at the heart of CL Yachts, CLB88 is born. Created in collaboration with internationally celebrated designer Jozeph Forakis, CLB88 goes beyond the realms of traditional luxury and into uncharted territories with confidence.

The new leader of the CL Yachts’ fleet, the 88’11” (27-meter) CLB88 will have a RINA-certified performance hull, engineered in consultation with structural engineering firm Gurit, and built utilizing carbon fibre and advanced resin-infusion technology. She encompasses four generous en suite staterooms configured so that every guest will be afforded an equal level of luxury and pampering. The main deck with its open layout and panoramic views is designed expressly to appeal to the modern family. And the CLB88’s exterior spaces, including a huge beach platform for a yacht of her size, provide a wealth of places to reconnect with nature and one another.

“The exterior of CLB88 is designed to stimulate the collective memories and imagination of every yachting enthusiast,” said Jozeph Forakis- Exterior and Interior Designer of CLB88. “Her effortless beauty and balanced proportions are timeless, but her overall look is distinctly bold and contemporary. With the interior, pure sunlight and open, flowing spaces are the primary ingredients, giving the feeling of being connected to the water and air.”

Outdoor entertaining is made easy aboard on CLB88. One of the largest fly bridge lounges in its class, the upper deck space is equipped with a refrigerator, icemaker, outdoor grill, and ample seating. A large hardtop shades this space while panoramic views of the surrounding waters ensure a breath-taking backdrop. With 270-degree views from the stern of the boat, the aft deck lounge is made for exactly that: lounging. Whether it be aperitifs with friends at sunset or reading a book alone, simple pleasures live here.

Step aboard CLB88 and into harmonious, modern master stateroom that feel more welcoming than most homes. Discover warm wood panelling, understatedly luxurious furnishings, walk-in wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms equipped with first-class amenities. A cleansing colour palette and plenty of flight help create a serene ambiance that is in step with a calm, clear mindset.

Inside and out, she is a masterful composition of flowing space, premium materials, subdued colors, and an abundance of natural light. While her form impresses, her functionality is uncompromised. Blending efficient lifting and proven seakeeping characteristics to create a cursing hull that planes quickly and tracks confidently. CLB88 offers comfortable, dry passage wherever the destination.
