Italian craftsmanship
FOR MORE THAN HALF A CENTURY, SANLORENZO HAS BROUGHT ARTISTRY TO THE CRAFTSMANSHIP OF BESPOKE MOTOR YACHTS. A Sanlorenzo yacht or superyacht is the embodiment of Italian mastery seamlessly blended with the most advanced technology, with all yachts made to measure in resin-infused fbreglass, steel or aluminium.

New model in the Explorer line
Founded in 1958 by Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia who opened the frst shipyard near Florence, Sanlorenzo was taken over in 1972 by Giovanni Jannetti who launched the frst fbreglass hull boat in 1985. In 2005, Massimo Perotti, the actual Executive Chairman, took the baton. Continuously evolving innovation and creativity at the highest level of customisation, with the unique capacity to break the mould, and to always be recognised; these are the ingredients that have permitted Sanlorenzo to become the world’s frst single-brand shipyard in the production of yachts over 30m. The emblem of this approach is the 500Exp, the elegant and advanced interpretation of the Explorer line that continues to demonstrate its success with the sale of the nineth unit, a 47m long superyacht sold by Sanlorenzo Asia and represented by Simpson Marine. To be delivered in 2022, the new superyacht is a model that gives the owner a true sense of adventure in the open sea, offering spaciousness on board and the latest generation technology for the most complete autonomy to explore secluded and unspoiled destinations. The 500Exp model, an evolution of the 460Exp, is distinguished by her aesthetic characteristics and exceptional navigational performance.

Unthinkable spaces
The imposing external lines that recall the profles of large explorer vessels liberate the area from bow to stern to allow storage for the tender, a sailing yacht of up to 9m or, depending on the owner’s request, a seaplane or a submarine, with spaces unthinkable in a yacht of similar dimensions. The lower deck houses a beach club with a bar which, thanks to the opening and folding hatch, becomes another terrace overlooking the sea that can be transformed into a garage to accommodate tenders up to seven metres long.
Full speed ahead
Sanlorenzo Superyacht does not stop here. Among numerous deliveries such as the recent one of the second unit of the 44Alloy and two imminent launches, they also commenced three simultaneous builds; the eighth unit of the 52Steel, the third unit of the 62Steel, and the sixth unit of the 44Alloy, which is currently under construction. Large interior volumes and exterior spaces under the banner of maximum comfort are combined in the 52Steel, an exceptional fvedeck model under 500GT, highly appreciated by the international public thanks to advanced solutions that have allowed it to achieve numerous important awards. One of the revolutionary elements of the 52Steel is the entire stern area: the main deck includes the glass-bottomed swimming pool that allows natural light to flter from the main deck into the area below and an exclusive beach area with fold-down balconies on three sides to create small beaches at the water’s edge. The same area can be quickly transformed into a fooded garage for the owner’s tender: the foor of the beach area is raised to make way for a space that can accommodate tenders up to 8m in length. The new 62Steel and 44Alloy superyachts are characterised by a strong focus on liveability of the interior and exterior spaces and their relationship with the sea, and are full of cutting-edge solutions.
The 62Steel: New standards for metal superyachts
With two units already sold and a third under construction, the new 62Steel superyacht offers surprising solutions designed to guarantee exceptional comfort and on-board liveability. The emblem of Sanlorenzo’s extraordinary approach is the new 62Steel that sets new standards for the sector of metal superyachts. The concept of 62Steel is translated into the incredible spaces of the vast, sumptuous owner’s suite, the large main living area, and the majestic Beach Club on the lower deck. Other 62Steel project’s special features are the owner’s apartment that extends as far as 215m2, of which 75m2 are indoors and 140m2 outdoors at the bow of the upper deck, also known as the owner’s deck. The apartment is divided into various zones: the bedroom area with a 180-degree panoramic view towards the bow and sides thanks to large full-height windows, a studio, two spacious bathrooms, and a walk-in dressing room. The forward part of the suite offers a swimming pool for counter-current exercise, as well as large sunbathing and relaxation areas. Towards the stern, the owner’s cabin also contains a 6m2 sky lounge, a space for entertainment and play completed on the outside by an open-air dining area with panoramic view. The convivial focal point of the vessel is the living area on the main deck, which shares its 90m2 space with the indoor dining room outftted to welcome sixteen persons. Towards the stern, this deck offers outdoor living areas bordering the pool, designed with a sliding roof that transforms into a large sundeck of almost 8m2. The main deck furthermore contains six cabins, fve guest units of which two with king-size beds and three double cabins with twin beds, as well as a massage room. The extraordinary beach club to the aft of the lower deck with a covered area of 92m2 contains relaxation areas, a bar, a ftness zone, and a steam bath, joined by 40m2 of folding terraces at the stern and on two sides.
