Putting the IPS engines in a separate compartment under the deck of a vast stern platform not only leaves the rest of the hull free for a wide variety of accommodation layouts but also creates a spectacular beach club area to rival craft twice its size.
Under way it makes the perfect spot for storing an entire fleet of tenders and toys, while at anchor it transforms into the ultimate outdoor party zone with sunpads, seats and a hydraulic teak stairway descending into the sea.
There’s more to the BG72 than just a clever aft deck, though. Those glass doors lead through into a water-level full beam space that can either be fitted out as a fabulous saloon with a view or as the coolest owner’s cabin you’ll find on any 72-footer.
A top speed of 31 knots and a range of over 800nm at 10 knots ensures this futuristic adventure yacht also has the performance to back up its purposeful looks, as well as the finish and build quality inherited from its parent company Sanlorenzo. Think of it as a kind of Range Rover for the sea and you won’t be far wrong.

Sanlorenzo reconfirming its position as the world’s leading mono-brand shipyard.
Sanlorenzo is once again at the top of the annual Global Order Book, the ranking compiled and published by Boat International – the magazine of reference in the yachting world – which certifies the trend of the worldwide market for yachts over 24 metres in length.
With 117 projects in 2021 equivalent to a total length of 4,159 metres, more than 31 projects and 1,000m more than in 2020, Sanlorenzo once again confirms itself as the first mono-brand shipyard in the world in its sector, consolidating a constant growth trend over the years.
In line with the trend highlighted by the “Running Hot” Global Order Book analysis, which underlines a strong increase in the manufacturers’ order book for the years 2022 and 2023, the company – listed on Euronext STAR since 2019 – is supported by a record backlog that covers a significant part of the revenues expected in the next two years.
The prestigious result of the Global Order Book 2022 comes at the end of a year of great successes for Sanlorenzo: among the most recent, the contract signed by the Superyacht Division for a 72Steel, the largest superyacht ever built by the shipyard, destined to become the new flagship of the fleet, while in September Sanlorenzo announced an exclusive strategic partnership with Siemens Energy for the construction of a fuel cell system for the generation of electricity in a 50-metre superyacht, scheduled for delivery in 2024. It will be the world’s first installation of a fuel cell system in a superyacht.
Sustainability and innovation are essential values for Sanlorenzo and are present in the development of each new project. Propulsion systems with a reduced environmental impact are flanked by a design that is increasingly projected towards the future with the revolutionary concept of asymmetry, featured on the SL90A, SL96A and SL120A models, demonstrating the company’s strength and determination to achieve increasingly ambitious goals.

A collaboration focused on developing new solutions to reduce the environmental impact of motor yachts.
Sanlorenzo opened the Cannes Yachting Festival announcing the signing of an exclusive agreement with Siemens Energy for the joint development of solutions for the integration of fuel cell technology in the 24-80m yachting sector and two contracts for the development and the purchase of next generation diesel electric and hybrid systems. The agreement will enable the creation of new technologies aimed at significantly reducing the impact of yacht usage on the marine ecosystem, with significant benefits in terms of environmental sustainability. The collaboration will be implemented in three areas:
Massimo Perotti, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sanlorenzo, stated: “We are very proud to have signed these agreements with Siemens Energy, one of the world’s leading energy technology companies; by sharing our experience and resources, we will be able to best meet the challenges of sustainability by pioneering the development of a new generation of technologies that will mark a major shift in the yachting industry”. Ermanno Delogu, Country Business Unit Head of Siemens Energy, stated “Together with our partner Sanlorenzo, we support our customers on their way to a more sustainable future. We have the know-how, and innovative technologies. Together we turn ideas into reality and aim to play a leading role in the yachting sector”.
Sanlorenzo Yachts UK & Ireland is delighted to announce arrival of the first Sanlorenzo SX88 in the UK.
Turning heads as she made her way up the river to her temporary berth outside the Sanlorenzo UK office in Swanwick marina, near Southampton.
The SX88 offers an expansive saloon with large floor to ceiling windows affording panoramic views and minimising the division between the interior and exterior of the yacht. A feature unique to the SX88 is the removal of a helm station from the main deck, which allows a new owner the space and flexibility to choose from a number of different layouts.
On the flybridge, the helm position can be entirely enclosed and air-conditioned with automatically operated side windows, leaving the vast main deck free from stern to bow – an exclusive loft which is suitable for navigating in all weather conditions.
The transom design on this 27-metre yacht allows for the storage of multiple water toys and a tender up to 4.5 metres. When the toys are launched using the integrated crane the area converts into a spacious 30m2 beach club, complete with hydraulic swim platform.
Up to eight guests can be accommodated in the four-cabin lower deck layout lower, which is divided into a master suite, a forward VIP suite and two twin guest cabins.
Powered by three Volvo IPS1050-800HP, the SX88 has a fast-cruising speed of 18-20 knots, with a maximum speed of 23 knots.
This new SX88 will be available to view prior to handover through the Sanlorenzo UK team.

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.
Sanlorenzo office opens at Swanwick Marina
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.
For anyone looking to sample the Sanlorenzo ownership experience, Sanlorenzo Yachts UK provides a first-class charter service with access to a global fleet Sanlorenzo yachts.
“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.
