Overview
The 2013 Cheoy Lee Bravo 88 represents a refined approach to long-range motor yacht design, built by a shipbuilder with over 150 years of maritime heritage. Registered as SAMARITANA, this 88-foot yacht combines substantial seaworthiness with thoughtful interior accommodations and comprehensive mechanical systems designed for extended cruising.

Currently located in Puerto Rico with delivery planned to Miami in spring 2025, SAMARITANA has been consistently maintained and updated throughout her service life.
Hull, Deck Design, and Seamanship Systems
The Bravo 88 measures 88 feet in length with a 22.5-foot beam, proportions engineered for stability and seaworthiness in open-water conditions. The hull and deck layout emphasize practical seamanship and safety infrastructure. Forward, a MAXWELL VWC 4000 hydraulic vertical anchor windlass with chain wheel and rope capstan manages ground tackle—a 110-pound Bruce anchor stowed on a bow roller assembly with high-test galvanized chain. Local and remote controls at both helm stations, plus yacht controller integration, allow the windlass to be operated from multiple positions, essential during anchoring operations in varying sea states. Deck infrastructure includes stainless steel bollards positioned for mooring lines, navigation lights, and a burgee flag staff on the bow rail. Walkway lighting along side deck overhangs and step lights at molded stairs enhance nighttime safety. A fresh water anchor wash spigot, Marquipt sea stair with teak foot plates, and boarding gates port and starboard facilitate crew and guest movement. Foredeck storage with twin flush-access hatches provides secure stowage for ground tackle and deck equipment. Scuppers drain efficiently to the boot top, maintaining deck integrity during heavy weather. The aft deck showcases full teak sole decking, a traditional choice for marine environments. Molded fiberglass steps with teak pads lead to the flybridge , while overhead LED lighting illuminates evening entertaining. A molded fiberglass rear lounge with cushions, offset hi-low pedestal-mounted tables with mother-of-pearl inlay, and custom armchairs create an inviting outdoor living space. A granite bar top with hot and cold faucets and a Sub Zero refrigerator-freezer combo unit support entertaining at anchor. Port and starboard stairs descend to the sport deck with step lights and stainless steel gates, creating a layered deck experience suited to different activities and guest flows.
Flybridge Command Center and Entertainment
The flybridge represents the yacht's primary command and entertainment platform. Twin Stidd helmsman's seats flank a fiberglass instrument and electronics console fitted with a stainless steel steering wheel and stainless steel-framed acrylic windscreen. ZF Electronic engine controls and Teleflex/Hynautic hydraulic power steering provide intuitive helm operation, while engine instrumentation and alarms display critical parameters to the operator. A fiberglass radar arch with integral hardtop provides weather protection and houses the antenna array. Aft of the helm, an L-shaped fiberglass lounge seat with storage under foam cushions offers crew and guest seating, complemented by a teak table with high-gloss finish and stainless steel pedestals featuring pearl inlay details. Flush-mounted overhead lighting, including red night lights, preserves night vision during evening operations. A marble bar top, sink with hot and cold faucet, fresh water wash-down hose bib, and Sub Zero refrigerator with two drawers and U Line ice maker serve as the entertainment nucleus. Bar stools with Sunbrella burnt orange upholstery and stainless steel pedestals encourage social gathering. A Fire Magic 30-inch Custom Gourmet Grill mounted on the island cabinet, with space for two propane tanks, allows galley-quality cooking at the flybridge level. Stainless steel-framed tempered glass sliding hatch covers the staircase to the salon, maintaining weather separation. An ACR 100 quartz halogen searchlight with dual-station remote control illuminates the surrounding water during nighttime operations. A Fusion MSIP700i audio system with iPod jack and USB connectivity, ceiling speakers, and bar cup holders create an integrated entertainment environment. A separate flybridge air-conditioning system added in 2019 doubles the original cooling capacity, essential for tropical and subtropical cruising. The full EZ2CY enclosure with three-piece drop curtain provides flexible weather protection, transformable from open-air entertaining to fully enclosed climate-controlled space. A mounted compass and stainless steel rails around the upper aft deck complete the command and safety infrastructure.
Salon, Dining, and Interior Living
The main salon flows seamlessly from the dining room, with wood flooring continuing from the dining area into the galley. Two curved port and starboard settees with storage provide comfortable seating, while a marble coffee table with drawers and a glass occasional table support casual relaxation. The focal point is a tiger-striped hi-gloss wood dining table seating eight, positioned beneath spectacular overhead lighting designed to showcase the space during evening entertaining. A mother-of-pearl dinning room bulkhead adds artistic detail to the formal dining area. An entertainment cabinet houses a Samsung LED HD television, Samsung Blu Ray DVD player, Creston A/V distribution system, surround sound receiver, ceiling speakers, and Velodyne subwoofer. LED lighting throughout the salon with control and dimmer switches, valance lights, and floor lighting create customizable ambiance. A bar with refrigerator, ice maker unit, and liquor storage, along with bar stools and accent lighting on the bar front panel, facilitates casual entertaining. A stainless steel-framed, tempered glass sliding door to the aft deck opens the salon to outdoor spaces, while a circular staircase with wood and carpet inserts connects to the flybridge above and staterooms below. Smoke detectors and 110-volt duplex outlets throughout ensure safety and convenience.
Galley and Crew Support

A GE Electric stainless steel oven, GE Monogram electric cooktop, GE Monogram microwave with ventilation hood, GE Monogram side-by-side refrigerator-freezer with ice dispenser, GE stainless steel dishwasher, and Kenmore stainless steel double sink with GROHE faucet and removable spray handle create a full-service cooking environment.
