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.

“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.
