Extra 86

Onboard the Extra 86

The Extra 86 by ISA is a 26-metre yacht built for speed and presence in equal measure, cruising at around 22 knots — enough to cover the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, Pampelonne's offshore anchorage or a run toward Sainte-Maxime within a single afternoon rather than a full-day passage. Four cabins sleep up to 12 guests, giving the boat a genuine overnight capability alongside its day-charter role, and the layout keeps that guest count comfortable rather than stretched.

Where the Extra 86 stands out is in how it opens up on deck. The fold-out terraces extend the beam once at anchor, turning a fairly compact 26-metre footprint into a wider working deck for lounging, meetings or a seated group. Paired with the al fresco dining setup, this makes the yacht a practical choice for a client lunch on the Gulf with the village in view, or a private family meal away from the crowded quay — the terraces give guests room to spread out without needing a much larger hull.

The swim platform keeps water access straightforward, useful for a swim stop off Baie de Briande or a tender transfer into Saint-Tropez for the market or an evening ashore. Couples and small groups will find the four-cabin configuration generous for a two-night stay, while corporate hosts get a vessel sized for a working lunch without the scale — or the berth logistics — of a full superyacht. As with any charter on this coast, guest numbers and cabin use should be confirmed against the itinerary before booking, particularly if an overnight or a longer route toward the Îles d'Hyères is being considered.
