Sanlorenzo and Bluegame have once again demonstrated their leadership in yacht innovation and sustainable design excellence, with two prestigious wins at the Design Innovation Awards 2025, organised by Confindustria Nautica during the International Boat Show in Genoa.
Sanlorenzo SL110A: Best superyacht over 24-metres
The Sanlorenzo SL110A, the latest evolution of the brand’s pioneering asymmetrical yacht design concept, was crowned winner in the Superyacht category (yachts over 24-metres LH).
The jury praised the SL110A for it innovative distribution of interior space and ongoing research into sustainable materials and refined finishes
This recognition underscores Sanlorenzo’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of superyacht design while offering owners more connection with the sea through its asymmetrical layout.
Bluegame BGF45: Best multihull for innovation
In the Multihulls, Sailing or Power category, the spotlight was on the Bluegame BGF45, celebrated for introducing cutting-edge technology into serial production.
This award reinforces Bluegame’s reputation as a bold innovator in the multihull segment, delivering ground-breaking design with practical functionality.
The international jury, chaired by renowned Italian designer Walter De Silva, applied a cross-disciplinary approach, drawing on expertise in boating, design, and culture.
The Design Innovation Awards, presented annually at the Genoa International Boat Show, honour projects that combine design excellence, creativity, and sustainability while anticipating market trends.
With the wins for Sanlorenzo SL110A and Bluegame BGF45, the Sanlorenzo Group reaffirms its leadership in the global yachting industry, showcasing a vision centred on innovation, environmental responsibility, and Italian design heritage.
Our award-winning team at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK has added another prestigious accolade to its growing list of achievements.
At an exclusive ceremony during the recent Cannes Yachting Festival, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK was awarded Sales Performance of the Year for Bluegame Yachts. This global award recognises the team’s outstanding success, having achieved more Bluegame sales than any other dealer worldwide.
“This recognition goes beyond commercial success; it is a testament to the professionalism, dedication, and passion of our UK team, as well as the invaluable support and commitment of our colleagues at the Bluegame shipyard in Italy,” says Nick Hatfield, Managing Director at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK.
“Although Bluegame is a relatively young yacht brand compared to some, it has already established itself as a distinctive force in the UK market. We are proud to represent such a forward-thinking and innovative brand that offers a truly fresh approach to yachting.”
Founded in 2004 by Olympic sailor and architect Luca Santella, Bluegame became part of the Sanlorenzo Group in 2018. With a philosophy centred on innovation, sustainability, and the creation of versatile yachts that defy traditional categorisation, the brand continues to gain momentum – with UK buyers leading the charge.
Hatfield continues: “Bluegame’s owner-focused layouts, robust engineering, and exceptionally high level of standard specification are proving hugely appealing to our discerning UK clients. The shipyard’s continuous development demonstrates a relentless drive to push design boundaries, as seen with the debut of the pioneering BGF45 in Cannes – an incredible feat of engineering using foil technology to enhance performance, efficiency and comfort.
“And Düsseldorf 2026 will bring the arrival of a new flagship in the BGX range – an exciting series that combines the adventurous spirit of an explorer yacht with uncompromising luxury and functionality.”
Alongside its success in new yacht sales, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK continues to excel in the luxury yacht brokerage market. Building on this strong performance, the company will expand its team and its presence later this year with the opening of a new showroom in London’s Mayfair, complementing its established base in Swanwick, Southampton.
“With our new location, we’re taking an important step in extending our reach and reinforcing our commitment to our UK clients,” Hatfield adds. “Many of our clients live, work, or travel frequently through London, and this showroom will give us the ability to meet them on their terms. Time is our clients’ most precious commodity, and this presence in the capital will save them exactly that.”
When it comes to luxury yacht and superyacht design, no two vessels are ever truly alike. Each reflects the personality and lifestyle of its owner, combining artistry, engineering, and innovation to create a one-of-a-kind home on the water.
Yet, despite the bespoke nature of yacht design, certain interior features are consistently requested because they elevate comfort, sophistication, and the overall yachting experience.
Based on his extensive experience, Charles Thatcher from our expert team at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK shares the top five most popular interior features on luxury yachts and superyachts.
A yacht’s interior is as much a statement of individuality as it is a place for relaxation. Owners frequently request handcrafted furniture and cabinetry tailored to their exact specifications.
This emphasis on tailored craftsmanship transforms each yacht into a floating private residence with an unmistakable personality.
Entertainment and socialising are at the heart of the yachting lifestyle. Owners and guests expect cinematic experiences that rival the world’s finest venues.
These features ensure that whether hosting a glamorous party or enjoying a quiet family movie night, entertainment is always immersive and effortless.
Modern yacht design has embraced the wellness revolution, offering sanctuaries that rival many five-star resorts.
Wellness areas underscore a growing desire for yachts to be more than just an indulgence – they’re now places of rejuvenation and balance.
The materials chosen for a yacht’s interior define its character. Owners often seek rare and luxurious finishes that bring warmth, elegance, and exclusivity.
These premium materials not only create a tactile sense of luxury but also stand as testaments to the craftsmanship and artistry behind each yacht.
Flexibility is key to modern yacht interiors. Spaces are designed to adapt seamlessly to different occasions, from intimate family time to glamorous entertaining, or discreet business meetings afloat. Popular requests include:
This versatility ensures every square metre serves multiple purposes, balancing style with practicality.
The future of luxury yacht & superyacht interiors
The overarching trend is clear: luxury yachts are no longer just floating symbols of wealth, but are now being designed for living, working, and entertaining with ease. Smart technology, sustainability, and advanced connectivity (including Starlink satellite internet for seamless remote working from yacht) are fast becoming standard.
In summary, from bespoke furniture to world-class spas and cinematic entertainment, the interiors of luxury yachts are shaped by the desire to live life to the full on the water. These top five requested interior features illustrate not only what today’s yacht owners value but also where the future of superyacht design is headed: toward comfort, individuality, and a deeper connection with the ocean.

The Board of Directors of Sanlorenzo S.p.A has approved the consolidated half-year financial report as of 30 June 2025.
“The first half of 2025 reflects the resilience of Sanlorenzo, the strength of our brand, and the timeless desirability of our yachts” says Mr. Massimo Perotti, Chairman and CEO of the company.
“Even in a global environment marked by trade tariff uncertainty and broader macroeconomic pressures, we have delivered stability and measured growth, underpinned by sustainable revenues and healthy margins.
“Our positive trajectory and continued growth are testament to our highly differentiated business model, which provides superior resilience. Our order intake, particularly strong for yachts of 30 metres and above, confirms the vitality of our made-to-measure philosophy, our scarcity-driven model and the success of our strategic entry into sailing with Nautor Swan. This, combined with evidence of continued wealth creation among the highest wealth cohorts, gives us strong confidence in the future and allows us to reaffirm our 2025 guidance.
“Innovation remains the essence of our Maison. At the upcoming Cannes Yachting Festival, we will debut three new Sanlorenzo yachts, alongside new launches from Nautor Swan and Bluegame, showcasing the most complete and coveted monobrand portfolios in their respective segments.
“Further premieres will follow in the final quarter – including a new concept for Sanlorenzo that embodies our pursuit of everlasting beauty and innovation, and the first delivery of the 74Steel – a milestone that embodies Sanlorenzo’s position at the pinnacle of the category, whilst retaining our focus within 2,000GT, where the risk-return profile is strongest, rather than pursuing the segment beyond our sweet spot.”
Sanlorenzo, renowned worldwide for its culture of craftsmanship and innovation in luxury yachting, has presented Breathtaking, the first exhibition at Casa Sanlorenzo, its newly launched cultural hub in Venice.
Curated under the Sanlorenzo Arts programme, the exhibition has been conceived and created by internationally celebrated artist Fabrizio Ferri as a powerful reflection on the destructive impact of plastic and microplastic pollution in the world’s oceans.
A cultural hub at the crossroads of art, design, and sustainability
Casa Sanlorenzo, housed within a meticulously restored 1940s villa overlooking the Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute, has been reimagined by Piero Lissoni, Sanlorenzo’s Artistic Director. More than just a venue, the hub is a space where design, dialogue, and environmental awareness converge. Accessible by the first pedestrian bridge built in Venice since 2008, the opening represents a bold new chapter for Sanlorenzo, aligning its heritage of yacht-building excellence with a deeper cultural and ecological purpose.
Breathtaking: An immersive artistic statement
Following its acclaimed debut at the Museo di Storia Naturale in Milan – where it attracted more than 40,000 visitors in just four days – Breathtaking now makes its Venetian premiere. The installation encases 13 renowned figures in plastic, suspended in haunting stillness, symbolising the silent suffocation caused by marine plastic pollution.
The Venice edition includes a powerful new addition: a portrait of music icon and environmental activist Sting. Other participants featured include Willem Dafoe, Helena Christensen, Misty Copeland, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Julianne Moore, Susan Sarandon, Naomi Watts, Isabella Rossellini, Carolyn Murphy, Gala Gonzalez, and Bridget Moynahan.
At the centre of the installation, a striking glass coffin filled with seawater stands as a visceral reminder of the fragility of marine ecosystems. Contributing to the immersive experience, Marina Abramović has proposed the use of noise-cancelling headphones to recreate the soundless void of the ocean’s depths.
A collective call to action
“Not long ago, I stumbled upon some very disturbing photographs of a seal and a dolphin suffocated by plastic bags. Looking at these images I gained a new awareness: the deadly force of the contamination of the seas and oceans that we cause with plastic and microplastics is not only killing the oceans, we are also killing ourselves. To share this conviction, I conceived an installation, Breathtaking, capturing dramatic portraits of famous international talents as if asphyxiated by plastic,” says Fabrizio Ferri.
Sanlorenzo’s Executive Chairman, Massimo Perotti, highlighted the deeper meaning of the project: “Casa Sanlorenzo is a natural extension of our philosophy, where beauty and responsibility go hand in hand. WithBreathtaking, we open our doors not only to art but to a deeper conversation about the future of our oceans. This is not just an installation. It is a statement of intent.”
A new chapter in Sanlorenzo’s cultural journey
The exhibition’s opening coincides with the Venice International Film Festival and Biennale Architettura 2025, placing Sanlorenzo at the centre of the city’s cultural season. More than a showcase, Casa Sanlorenzo embodies the brand’s values of innovation, sustainability, and beauty with purpose, inviting yacht owners, collectors, and cultural leaders into dialogue.
Breathtaking is curated by Geraldina Polverelli Ferri and Cristiano Seganfreddo, with photography in New York by Polverelli Ferri and in Italy in collaboration with Nobile Agency and Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, supported by Credem Euromobiliare Private Banking.

In the world of yachting, luxury is more than just an overused descriptor or a physical product. Luxury is the experience of the on-water lifestyle.
And a luxury yacht is not simply a yacht, it is a floating expression of individual style, craftsmanship, and incredible design – from fully personalised interiors to seamless performance.
Sanlorenzo has long stood at the forefront of this philosophy, redefining what it means to own a luxury yacht. Through an unwavering commitment to bespoke design, customised detailing, and quiet elegance, Sanlorenzo delivers more than yachts – it crafts unique experiences.
This article explores the defining elements of luxury yachts and reveals how Sanlorenzo continues to shape this rarefied world.
While every yacht offers travel, freedom and escape, luxury yachts set themselves apart through the calibre of their design, materials, and performance. Here’s what distinguishes these exceptional vessels:
Premium materials – Inside luxury yachts, you’ll often find carefully curated rare and high-quality materials: Carrara marble, brushed teak, carbon fibre, and hand-stitched leather. These aren’t simply for aesthetics – they speak to durability, prestige, and tactile experience.
Impeccable craftsmanship – Luxury yacht interiors are defined by handcrafted finishes and obsessive attention to detail. From hand-laid parquet flooring to sculptural staircases and bespoke furnishings, every detail onboard is considered. This artisan craftsmanship transforms yachts interiors from functional areas to personalised spaces.
Cutting-edge design – Modern luxury yachts boast avant-garde silhouettes and fluid, light-filled interiors. Leading shipyards, like Sanlorenzo, incorporate innovations that enhance both beauty and performance – where form complements function.
Superior performance – Luxury isn’t only about the yacht’s interior and exterior aesthetics. True excellence includes cutting-edge navigation technology, stabilisation systems, and top-tier propulsion for smooth, silent cruising. Performance should feel effortless, no matter what the weather or the sea state.
Bespoke layouts and owner customisation – No two owners are alike – and nor should their yachts be. Custom luxury yacht features such as spa rooms, private gyms, beach clubs, or even onboard art galleries are standard requests. True luxury, when it comes to owning a yacht, lies in customisation – from the layout to the premium materials, fixtures and fittings, and designer furniture.
Sanlorenzo doesn’t merely design yachts – it crafts spaces that reflect the lifestyle and vision of each individual client, bringing together their personal tastes and onboard requirements.
Space is a luxury – In Sanlorenzo yachts, the interior space is treated as a blank canvas. Proportions, light, flow, and openness are carefully designed and refined. Whether open-plan saloons or intimate lounges, each area is purposeful and inviting – tailored to each individual owner.
Client-centric design process – Building a Sanlorenzo is a journey the team at Sanlorenzo Yachts UK takes with its clients. From initial layout to final material selections, clients play a central role in shaping their yachts, expressing personality through design rather than just soft furnishings and ornamentation.
Signature material palettes – Refined tones, organic textures, and understated elegance. Sanlorenzo collaborates with renowned interior designers to create serene atmospheres with materials like Tabu-Thai Walnut wood, Carrera marble, and soft leathers.
Seamless connection to the sea – Large panoramic windows, fold-out terraces, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions foster a continual visual and emotional connection with the sea. It’s about more than just the panoramic views; it’s about the experience of being in touch with the ocean.
Tactile, sensory luxury – The feel of hand-polished wood, the weight of a custom door handle, the softness of bespoke textiles – luxury yacht interiors evoke an emotional response. Owning a Sanlorenzo is a fully sensory experience, not just a visual one.
At the heart of Sanlorenzo’s ethos is its ‘made to measure’ philosophy. Here, luxury isn’t defined by flashy ostentation or spectacle but by the precision, intention, and meaning.
Timeless over trendy – Rather than chase trends, Sanlorenzo embodies enduring elegance. Its yachts are not extravagant showpieces but offer timeless luxury where the design remains relevant for decades.
Collaboration with design visionaries – From Piero Lissoni to Patricia Urquiola, Sanlorenzo partners with the world’s leading forward thinking design luminaries. Their architectural mindset brings a unique sophistication to every yacht.
Exclusivity by design – Sanlorenzo limits its production to ensure the highest quality and exclusivity. Each yacht is a ‘one off’ made slowly, thoughtfully, and entirely for its owner.
Luxury is a mindset: one that values individuality and authenticity. Luxury is no longer just about owning something. It’s about creating something that’s also experienced – bringing forth an enduring, emotional response.
Sanlorenzo’s growing fleet is a testament to how innovation and elegance can coexist.

At Sanlorenzo, we believe luxury isn’t measured in metres or materials used – it’s measured in meaning. What truly matters is how a yacht reflects your lifestyle, your pace, and your vision of beauty.
Whether it’s an expansive terrace to catch the sunset, a minimalist luxury yacht interior, or the near silence provided by sustainable engineering – your definition of luxury is the only one that matters.
