“Navigators. A journey into Sanlorenzo shipyard” – photos by Silvano Pupella
Press release 27th November – A pioneer in its field for its unique ability to open up to new creative languages influenced from art and design, Sanlorenzo continues its collaboration, as a Global partner, with Art Basel, the leading art fair for modern and contemporary art.
From December 2nd to the 6th Sanlorenzo, the world’s leading mono brand for the production of yachts over 30 meters, is participating to “OVR: Miami Beach”, the innovative digital format launched by Art Basel featuring galleries accepted to the 2020 edition of Art Basel Miami Beach.
A platform that for four days will stage online events, including talks and gallery walk-throughs, and over 2,500 exceptional works from 1900 to the present, thanks to the participation of 255 leading galleries from 30 different countries and territories. For the first time it will also host the “viewing rooms” dedicated to the partners of the fair.
Sanlorenzo presents in this occasion the digital exhibition “Navigators. A journey inside the Sanlorenzo shipyards” by photographer Silvano Pupella.
The exhibition, conceived as a real immersion into the production reality of the shipyards, presents a selection of black and white images in which Pupella, astonishing us with his spatial interpretations and give us a visual tale of the harmony between craftsmanship and technology that has over the last 60 years made Sanlorenzo a true nautical excellence.
The evocative photographic portfolio which was put together within the La Spezia shipyard, reveals how each Sanlorenzo superyacht is the result of a complex, transversal and innovative project: each boat over 40 meters long, comes to life from the hull, forged in metal like some work of art, and on through the work of skilled local artisans who take the greatest of care with every little detail, making each product unique and special, thereby assuring the desired reaction from the owner every time.
The photos of Silvano Pupella thus recount the work of these highly skilled artisans whose masterful craftsmanship makes these sophisticated elegant yachts what they are, as if they were being crafted in a Renaissance workshop.
His sophisticated black and white by introducing us at the initial production stages of the steel superyachts, is able to excite by enhancing the hidden charm and the intrinsic beauty of the unfinished products.
Images that by documenting the various phases of preparation of the metal hulls, can perfectly relate the atmosphere of this place full of technology but also of precious and irreplaceable manual skill.
The exhibition “Navigators. A journey into the Sanlorenzo shipyards “, that was born from the an idea of Mr. Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman of Sanlorenzo, touches a new fundamental stage: after the exhibition at the Casa dei Tre Oci in Venice on the occasion of the Art Biennale 2019 and this year at Still Gallery in Milan, is today presented on a new illustrious international stage with “OVR: Miami Beach”, thanks to the collaboration started in 2018 with Art Basel with the signing of the global partnership agreement for the annual events in Hong Kong in March, Basel in June and Miami Beach in December.
Join Sanlorenzo Yachts at the 2021 Boot Dusseldorf Boat Show as they showcase the new flagship of the SX range the SX112.
Recently launched at the Genoa boat show the SX112 is 34 meters in length and represents the consolidation of a path that began with the SX88, and then the SX76. Her exterior design was penned by Bernardo Zuccon, of Studio Zuccon International Project, while Piero Lissoni, art director of Sanlorenzo since 2018, looked after the interior of the first unit where the main deck has been organised as an open space, to maximise the relationship with outdoor spaces. in constant dialogue with their outdoor counterparts.
Our team will be on hand throughout the show to guide you through the SX112 or discuss the full range of yachts that make up the Sanlorenzo fleet in more detail.

The SD118 is the new yacht with a length of 35.75 meters, expanding the historic line of semi-displacement models by Sanlorenzo, yachts that offer great autonomy for the most expert lovers of life on the sea.
In a perfect balance between classic, traditional lines and a contemporary interpretation, taken to new levels of elegance thanks to the essential aesthetic of the wide-body hull, SD118 is a proposal that reflects the constant innovation and research conducted by the brand over the years.
Thanks to its novel configuration, the bow outdoor living area of SD118 is organised on two connected levels, the upper deck and the forward deck, that form a very large area for relaxation in the open air to which the owner has direct access from his cabin by means of a sliding hatch concealed below the staircase connecting the two decks that guarantees a total privacy.
The fulcrum of the innovation of SD118, however, is the upper deck, which thanks to the intuition of Bernardo Zuccon has an asymmetrical configuration previously applied only to the SL line, which guarantees greater space, comfort, flexibility of use, and a direct view of the sea from both sides, generating total indoor-outdoor connection.
While the port side features a side deck that leads seamlessly from stern to bow, along which the bulwark at the position of the living area opens to form a terrace, the starboard side is like that of a wide-body hull. In this way, the furthest deck from the sea brings guests closer to the water, its light and colors, in both visual and emotional terms.
The new model also has a revised stern zone with expanded spaces and comforts with respect to the previous models in the SD line. At anchor, this zone is transformed into a swim platform of 19 sqm thanks to large lateral hatches that open to permit diving and sunbathing au bord de l’eau.
Demonstrating Sanlorenzo’s ability to foresee the needs of clients and the widest range of requests, prior to the official launch, 4 units of the SD118 model have already been sold, including the version with interiors by Bernardo and Martina Zuccon that will be presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2021, and the version with a sophisticated, elegant and contemporary interpretation by Patricia Urquiola, who continues to collaborate with Sanlorenzo, boarding the new SD118 with her inimitable style balanced between rigor and irony, industrial design and crafts.
