The X-Space is a new concept of superyacht, representing the pinnacle of Sanlorenzo’s experience and innovation.
With a length of 44 metres, over five decks and a tonnage of 495 GT, the X-Space offers extraordinary volumes for a yacht of this size. The X-SPACE expands the brand’s superyacht range by launching a yacht, designed for owners who love to explore faraway destinations, without relinquishing the unmistakable elegance of Sanlorenzo’s lines. A project that best expresses the concept of travel, born from the encounter between the fascinating world of the Explorer and the romantic imagery of the classic navette.
A perfect synthesis of functionality and design, the X-SPACE combines Sanlorenzo’s technical and design heritage in an unexpected interplay of proportions and balance that defines every area of the yacht.
A model that represents the company’s profound ability to respond to market demands, interpreting them according to the discreet elegance and refinement that has characterised the company since its inception and is appreciated by international owners, enthusiasts and sophisticated connoisseurs of the nautical world.
Symbolic of Sanlorenzo’s understated approach is the aft area on the main deck, a huge multi-function terrace with an 18-square-metre swimming pool overlooking the sea, which can be closed while underway or whilst in the marina. This open-air living room can be extended by another 18 square metres thanks to the folding balconies.
An innovative element of the X-SPACE is the unusual layout that brings the wheelhouse onto the Bridge Deck, freeing up the Upper Deck which is then dedicated entirely to the owner.
In line with Sanlorenzo’s tailored attitude, the X-SPACE offers an entire deck with extreme privacy that is independent from the other areas, it includes a study, living room and a large master cabin framed by glass walls, which encapsulates the presence of nature around it and overlooks a private deck at the bow, a 30-square-metre sunbed area which includes a swimming pool.
“I think it has never been so important as it has in this project to seek to identify with the owner, who will be the great commander of this boat, hence the desire to create an entire deck dedicated to their needs. This is a solution that is normally found on larger boats and it shows that this is a yacht where the owner will have the great luxury of being able to spend a lot of time on board. I’ve always thought that architecture is the primary tool to allow man to live better, and in this case the X-Space project was born with the desire not to create a wonderful floating structure, but to create a wonderful vessel for life.”
Bernardo Zuccon
The X-SPACE project is characterised by the theme of transparency, which has characterised the design of the exteriors, by Studio Zuccon International Project, and made it possible to eliminate barriers and obstacles, achieving total fusion and continuity with the interiors, designed by Piero Lissoni.
“The X-SPACE has been forced to become a boat almost entirely made of glass: there are large panes of glass, large windows and some of the cabins no longer even have portholes but glass walls. The interior has forced its hand on the exterior and the exterior has been so elastic and so well designed that the interior has almost adapted itself in a totally natural way. I think this is the most innovative language I’ve seen on a superyacht to date and it has made it possible to create a compact boat but with extraordinary proportions and the unique quality of Sanlorenzo.”
Piero Lissoni
The first unit of the X-Space will be delivered in 2023, it expresses a desire for escape, power and yet respects the family feeling, the lines and the details that reflect the DNA and history of Sanlorenzo.
With nine units sold, Sanlorenzo confirms its leadership of the Explorer market.
The eighth unit of the 500Exp line has hit the water at the Sanlorenzo Superyacht facility in La Spezia. An elegant and advanced interpretation of the Explorer yacht style, of which the ninth unit has also been sold. The 500Exp is one of the favourite models for owners wishing to enjoy long crossings without sacrificing any comfort on board.
This model combines Sanlorenzo’s unmistakable elegance with large, articulated spaces and the latest technologies that have made it possible to transform a yacht that’s style was born as a commercial vessel into a sophisticated superyacht designed to allow complete autonomy in exploring far-off locations.
A powerful and majestic superyacht with impeccably elegant lines making it instantly recognisable, sophisticated and unique. The hull, inspired by the profiles of the great exploration ships, promises cruising to distant destinations and exotic places.
At 47 metres in length and with a gross tonnage of just under 500 tonnes, the 500Exp is distinguished by its exceptional performance, with a long cruising range of 4,000 nautical miles, enabling it to navigate along the coast with minimal consumption and to make ocean crossings with ease.
The Explorer thus offers owners an almost unobtainable gift: an authentic sense of adventure.
Every kind of nautical entertainment is possible on board the Explorer, thanks to the ability to accommodate tenders or sailing boats of up to 9 metres on the stern or, depending on the Owner’s wishes, a seaplane or a submarine, spaces that would be unthinkable in other yachts of the same size.
The lower deck houses a beach club which, thanks to the opening hatch, allows for a complete connection with the sea and which, as an option, can be converted into a garage to accommodate tenders of up to seven metres and numerous toys.
The interiors are extremely spacious and inviting, thanks to the choice of décor that favours the use of sophisticated materials such as prestigious woods, crystal, marble and precious fabrics and leathers. The exclusive furnishings include pieces made to measure by skilled craftsmen and companies representing the excellence of design.
A model that perfectly represents Sanlorenzo’s high capacity to meet all kinds of requirements, such as the possibility of creating a touch-and-go landing platform for a helicopter, an unusual feature in yachts of less than 50 metres.
A synthesis between the classic flybridge motor yacht and the growing explorer type boats, the SX76 is a fast displacement crossover flybridge yacht with a large beach club connecting you to the sea.
Our team will be on hand throughout the show to guide you through the Sanlorenzo SX76, SX88 or discuss the full range of yachts that make up the Sanlorenzo fleet in more detail.
We are excited to announce that there is also a BG62 from Bluegame (a brand of Sanlorenzo) available to view at the show.

Our new office at Swanwick Marina near Southampton is now open providing the UK market with direct access to Sanlorenzo’s motor yacht portfolio as well as its stunning range of superyachts.
With this new office, UK and Ireland customers and brokers now have a local contact to discuss new and used Sanlorenzo Yachts.
In addition to being able to advise on new and used Sanlorenzo sales, the experienced Sanlorenzo UK team is also well-placed to provide support and service to existing Sanlorenzo owners. Sanlorenzo Yachts UK has a significant aftersales service capability, ensuring the exclusive Sanlorenzo experience continues post sale.

“We’re delighted to be opening the new UK office where we’ll be offering Sanlorenzo’s yacht and superyacht ranges, along with high-end brokerage services and charter options,” says Nick Hatfield, Sanlorenzo UK sales manager. “Our team will also be providing both current Sanlorenzo owners and prospective owners with an unparalleled level of knowledge, service and support surrounding yacht purchase and ownership.”
“Feedback from owners and potential owners is that they’re thrilled to have a local point of contact to the shipyard. The brand is already well known as the leading shipyard and now with a UK representative, clients have a direct link to these very special yachts.”
“Producing luxury motor yachts in the 20-50 metre sector, Sanlorenzo is synonymous with quality. If someone is looking for a truly customised yacht of unparallel design, Sanlorenzo is the only option,” adds Nick.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming our customers to the new office, which is not only in the epicentre of British yachting on the Hamble River, but also the UK power hub that is Swanwick Marina.”
Sanlorenzo UK & Ireland will be booking appointments throughout the British Motor Yacht Show at Swanwick 12 – 20 June 2021.
Time, dedication, know-how and a precise focus: breaking down the established rules of the nautical world to create yachts and superyachts capable of exploring new concepts of life on board.
A yacht that aims to become one of the new stars of the Sanlorenzo superyacht range. Equipped with a hybrid diesel/electric propulsion system, underlining the company’s ability to always look to the future by continuously studying solutions that can reduce the impact on the marine ecosystem.
This sophisticated superyacht with her elegant clean lines, a characteristic common to all the Sanlorenzo ranges is distinguished by its straight bow, giving it a striking yet purposeful profile.
The new 57Steel is an ambitious project, the result of another successful collaboration between the shipyard and Studio Zuccon International Project, which has led to the creation of a 56.70 metre long yacht with 5 decks and a tonnage of 1000 GT.
Her extraordinary volumes, which are double compared to the 52Steel, have made it possible to offer indoor and outdoor spaces that are decidedly unexpected for a yacht of this size.
The main design challenge for the 57Steel was to find the perfect balance between volumes and proportions, a challenge that was fully realised. This was achieved by creating an innovative layout: the wheelhouse area, normally forward on the upper deck, has been relocated to an additional deck – a real bridge deck, normally reserved for larger yachts – thus making it possible to use the upper deck for a different purpose. This is where the owner’s cabin is located, a 54-square-metre space overlooking the very large Owners Deck, a private deck from which to enjoy an exclusive view over the sea and beyond.
The new layout has also made it possible to create a spacious full-beam VIP cabin forward of the main deck that can be used as a second owner’s cabin.
“The versatility of use that distinguishes the spaces on board is a key element of the 57Steel, which makes it possible to satisfy the many requests of a diverse and multicultural market like that of superyachts. A model in which there is no ostentation of the brand and whose external lines are defined and extremely fluid, transparent and clear, in which the language of the shipyard shines through. We can define the 57 Steel as a skilful balancing act between content and container.”
Bernardo Zuccon
An evolution of the 52Steel, the new model incorporates its winning features, in particular the design of the stern area where on the main deck, the swimming pool with its transparent floor, allows the passage of light into the environment below. An extraordinary beach club area of 110 square metres created by the opening balconies on three sides which become small beaches on the water’s edge, creating astonishing engagement with the sea.
One of the innovative elements of the 57Steel is the decision to place the garage at the bow, which has made it possible to create a large dedicated area equipped to accommodate tenders of up to 7.5m and numerous toys.
Thanks to a strategic division of space, the layout also allows for up to seven guest cabins and a further deck, below the lower deck, totally dedicated to services such as laundry, wardrobes and cold storage.
The Sanlorenzo Shipyard’s preliminary results for 2020 state year-end net revenues of €458 million, a small increase compared to 2019’s of €456 million. The figures while preliminary, confirm the shipyard’s expectation that 2020 revenues would be on par with 2019 despite the impact of the Covid pandemic.
While sales remained stable, profitability exceeded expectations with earnings before interest, tax and amortization (EBIDTA) rising 6.5% to €70.6 million and yielding a margin improvement to 15.4%.
The improved results were credited to solid selling prices, based on the high-end positioning of the brand, and due to a positive shift in product mix towards larger yachts from its Yacht and Bluegame Divisions.

While the Superyacht Division’s net revenues were down 9.5% compared to 2019, this was mainly attributed to travel restrictions which slowed down validation of production milestones by surveyors and owner’s representatives.
Although the smallest division, Bluegame recorded an 82% growth in net revenues to €29.1 million, due to ‘excellent sales of the new BGX line, with the addition of the second model BGX60, launched at Genoa 2020.’
Sanlorenzo Executive Chairman Massimo Perotti said it was ‘worth highlighting the substantial stability of the order portfolio, standing at €408.8 million, given the travel restrictions and the cancellation of all boat shows in the world, except Genoa and Fort Lauderdale.’ He noted that final client sales, accounted for more than 94% of the order portfolio.
‘A further reassuring element for the future is the strong acceleration in the order intake recorded in the last quarter’ Perotti added. ‘This, together with the positive market trend and the commercial success of the four new models launched during the year as planned, makes us look forward to 2021 with confidence.’
We are thrilled to share that four Sanlorenzo Yachts have been announced as finalists in the prestigious Boat International Design and Innovation Awards 2021. These awards acknowledge all aspects of yachting from naval architecture and styling to the design and technology of the yachts with a key focus on aspects that represent innovation, engineering and sustainability amongst the ever changing requirements of yacht owners.
Due to current regulations Boats International’s highly experienced judging panel had to assemble online for the judging days and we are excited to hear who the winners will be when revealed at the Superyacht Design Festival in Milan which is due to take place in July 2021.
The Sanlorenzo Yachts finalists are:
Sanlorenzo Superyachts has officially kicked off the new season by launching the fifth unit of the 52Steel, a 52-metre long steel yacht of which a further 3 units are currently under construction at the La Spezia shipyard.
The refined elegance and timeless lines of the 52Steel, which are a Sanlorenzo trademark, conceal surprising interior volumes and exterior spaces for maximum comfort and enjoyment. A five-deck superyacht under 500GT, it impresses with design solutions normally found on much larger models and forward thinking technical innovations which are the result of the shipyard’s ongoing research and development, which have resulted in making her an international success and one of the stars of the Sanlorenzo fleet.
One of the revolutionary elements of the 52Steel, which has won her several major awards, is the entire stern area: on the Main deck the swimming pool with a transparent bottom allows light to pass into the area below, creating a dreamlike effect.
The fifth unit, bears the signature of Officina Italiana Design for its exterior design while the interiors are designed by architect Tiziana Vercellesi.
“The interiors requested by the owner, and interpreted by me, have a classic style with warm colours and a discreet elegance that is revealed in the details, the workmanship and the choice of materials such as Tanganyika wood, light-coloured leathers and marble.
In fact, the creation of the interiors reflects the rich knowledge and experience of those who know how to use wood and marble with expertise. In the main salon, for example, we have created a made to measure floor with inlaid marbles of different colours and a classic Italian design.
The furnishings will be enhanced by decorative elements and pieces of art made especially for this boat.”
Arch. Tiziana Vercellesi
Like every Sanlorenzo yacht, this unit is a tailor-made, made to measure according to the owner’s requests and lifestyle. From the white of the exteriors, used for the first time on a 52Steel, to the choice of materials, finishes and furnishings to the design of the spaces.
The layout features an unusual and very successful configuration: at the bow of the Main deck, where the Owner’s Suite is usually located, Sanlorenzo has placed instead two large VIP Suites, complete with entrance, cloakroom, bathroom and cabin, cut out along the ship’s length and featuring huge windows looking directly out to sea. The Owner’s Suite is situated at the stern of the Upper deck, which thus becomes, together with the cockpit, an area for the exclusive use of the owner.
At the Owner’s request, this unit is also equipped with a lift that runs through all the decks, from the lower deck to the sundeck.
She’s known as a yacht that rarely spends more than a single night in a marina, so it’s no surprise that while others hunkered down amid the uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, the owner of 47-metre Sanlorenzo Ocean Dreamwalker III had other plans. Having been to Alaska before, sightseeing and taking flights over the national parks, he was keen to try out his yacht – one of a number he owns, but the first designed with exploration in mind – and to gain a new perspective of this stunning area from the water. The boat’s captain helped devise an itinerary, with valuable input from another captain, Sean Meagher, who is particularly experienced in exploring this part of the world and had been in the same area just two weeks before.
Setting off from the city of Ketchikan in mid-August, the eight-day trip took in Anan Bay and its famous Bear and Wildlife Observatory, Wrangell (where guests played golf), Petersburg, the Steamboat Bay Anchorage (Frederick Sound), Tracy Arm, Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve, Juneau and the Baranof Warm Springs. “The whole place is just spectacular,” enthuses the owner.
Of course, wildlife was a key draw throughout the trip. “Being on the boat enabled us to go into really remote regions in the national parks – we were in wild animal world,” he explains. As well as enjoying the Alaskan hot springs in the woods and walks on land, the group was lucky enough to catch sight of a group of bears fishing for wild salmon.
“The pictures I took were like something from a nature documentary,” he says with amazement.
“You can see the bears standing in the middle of the stream and snapping at the salmon in the air with the other bears around. It’s so natural.”
At Frederick Sound, meanwhile, guests sipped sundowners on the tender with whales less than a metre away. “There were so many whales around, with no other boats, and I could see the mountains covered with ice, and the sun shining through the mist, and the water was so flat and peaceful. The whales were just popping up everywhere and spouting water and flicking their beautiful tails and bodies in the sky. You just don’t know what word to use to describe a scene that beautiful,” he says.
In the national parks, the tracks of bears, deer and elk were visible, while “thousands of beautiful birds”, seals and dolphins were often right by the boat. One feature of the master suite made for a particularly surreal experience. At the touch of a button, a private balcony folds down. “I remember one morning, I woke up, and it was beautiful sunlight out, and not far away was this tall ice cap,” says the owner. “I opened the balcony and was enjoying a mimosa and a little breakfast, and then right in front of me there were whales swimming all around – black and white killer whales, different from the humpbacks we’d seen the day before. It was like waking from one dream and walking straight into another.”
Glaciers too, made for fascinating viewing, and owners and guests often took a stand-up jet ski, canoe or the yacht’s onboard Airbus H125 helicopter (which is operated by HSML) out to explore. “On one occasion, we set up a picnic for the owner on a big iceberg,” says the captain.
“We had a very low profile so it was safe enough, and we took all the seats and tables across and did a hotpot on there. There was a stunning view of the whole glacier. It was idyllic.” The owner, meanwhile, enjoyed admiring rivers of melted glacier ice running beneath the surface, and was delighted to enjoy his favourite whisky – a limited-edition Johnnie Walker that he’d bought a few bottles of in Iceland previously – served over freshly carved glacier ice.
“Going up Tracy Arm was the most challenging part,” says the captain with regard to navigation.
“It requires your full attention, as there’s a lot of ice around due to the calving of the glaciers, and you end up weaving between it for hours.” Forward-looking infrared (FLIR) thermal-imaging cameras were the only additional kit that was taken on board for the voyage. “It definitely helped us during low-light conditions, especially when the sun was against you. It assisted with picking up floating ice that was low in the water,” he says. All moving was done during daylight hours as a safety precaution, though “the only thing that really works is just having another pair of eyes on the bridge”, he says. “The fact is that people wanted to be there. Even when crew were meant to be going on breaks, they didn’t want to miss anything.”
Sometimes, says the owner, you could hear the sound of falling ice from nearby glaciers, and see the resulting waves. “Certainly, you get nervous,” he says, “but the risk isn’t life-threatening – and that’s exactly what exploration is all about.” At one stage, Ocean Dreamwalker III was able to go right up to a waterfall by a large glacier. “That was quite a unique position to be in,” says the captain. “The boss opened a bottle of champagne on the bow and everyone took photos with the waterfall behind them. It was completely safe, and I was, like, ‘Wow… not many vessels do that.’” Both the captain and the owner agree that having the helicopter on board really expanded the possibilities for the trip. Often, the owner and his guests would explore using the heli while the yacht moved to another location. “We’d fly to a lake, and then see a waterfall and fly there, and then see another lake and fly to that, and then see a waterfall…” the owner says with a laugh. “These big white glaciers – they’re just so beautiful. It’s like something you only see in the movies.”
On another occasion, the owner – a keen golfer – set off for a round of golf on Alaska’s only golf course at Wrangell. “It’s a nine-hole course, but you can play 18 holes by doing a second round, which we did,” he explains. “Uniquely, because it’s such cold weather, they don’t have grass on the green – it’s man-made!” he laughs. “I’ve been playing golf for years and it’s the first time I’ve ever seen that, but it was so beautiful.” Other facilities on board the yacht enhanced the experience – often, guests would enjoy exploring the ice before returning to the yacht’s spa pool. “I had a lot of family friends with me and often we’d be swimming in the pool, drinking whisky, facing this giant 200-metre glacier,” he recalls. The owner also enjoyed exercising in the gym under the helideck, and using its steam room, although often they would bring some of the Technogym machines out on deck. “I could exercise with whales swimming around me,” he explains, “because the gym has a balcony that extends towards the water.”
Did Covid-19 disrupt the owner’s plans? “Well, the original plan was to go up to Greenland and do the Northwest Passage from east to west before Alaska, but because of the Canadian borders being closed, that didn’t happen,” explains the captain. “I was quite happy about that, because it’s been a nice stepping stone to see how the vessel operated in those sorts of conditions – we’ll now depart for Antarctica in mid-December.”
While cruising Alaska, Ocean Dreamwalker III encountered only four other yachts, and only one motor yacht. For now, the owner is content with his boat. “It took me 15 design meetings, each one three to four days long to finalise all the features of this boat with Sanlorenzo, so I’ve put a lot of time into it,” he says. “I already have everything I want in it, with the option to add a submarine or an ATV or a hybrid jet ski on the reinforced deck, so right now I’m just in love with the whole experience.”
Antarctica will be another adventure of a similar ilk. He wants to take some of the younger generation on board, he explains, and as before, crew will be encouraged to join in. “You just want everybody to appreciate how beautiful our planet is,” he says, “and how amazing these extreme destinations are.”
