Technological innovation, design vision and passion: a winning formula that has always distinguished Sanlorenzo, present again this year at the Monaco Yacht Show scheduled from 27 to 30 September 2023.
Exploring new concepts of liveability on board, looking to a future which is increasingly driven by the requests of yacht owners. Among the quays of Port Hercules will be the protagonists 57Steel and Alloy, two superyachts that reconfirm Sanlorenzo's ability to innovate while remaining true to its core, in the constant search for a balance between the drive to innovate while remaining consistent with the brand's history.
57Steel
A superyacht with balanced and elegant lines notwithstanding its 1050 GT tonnage, 57Steel exalts the purity of form that has always been the hallmark of Sanlorenzo. The result of an intense process of experimentation, this ambitious project was realised in collaboration with Studio Zuccon International Project for the exterior architecture, while the design of the interior spaces was entrusted to Piero Lissoni.
World Wide Premiere at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023, the new 57Steel features an innovative layout that alters the traditional configuration of the spaces on board: the wheelhouse area, normally forward of the upper deck, has been relocated to an additional deck, allowing the area to be used to house the owner's cabin, a 55-square metre space overlooking the large Owner Deck, a private deck from which it is possible to look out across the horizon, freeing the gaze to lose oneself in the waves
"The 57Steel is a creature of a new generation, a boat that enjoys a very intricate mixture of spaces. At the design level, this yacht thinks in architectural terms: spaces that open up, vertical elements that dialogue and, of course, I couldn't help but include one of my staircases. Again, it is not simply a staircase, but a kind of twilight zone, an intermediate space between many different places. I hope that the owners continue to climb up and down this staircase as if they were in a dream. The boat tells many stories, it is very creative between the interior and the exterior, at a certain point you almost don't understand where one begins and the other starts." - Piero Lissoni, Art Director Sanlorenzo Yacht.
The new redistribution of spaces that distinguishes the 57Steel has also made it possible to create a spacious full-beam VIP cabin at the bow of the main deck and to create an impressive 150 square metre beach area, thanks to the opening of hatches on three sides, which become beaches at the water's edge. The decision to place the garage at the bow has also made it possible to create a large space equipped to accommodate tenders of up to 7.5 metres. The unprecedented layout of the 57Steel makes it possible to accommodate a large gym area of 30 square metres, complete with a sauna totally dedicated to the owner's wellbeing and relaxation.
Alloy
Imaginary spaces become reality by redesigning environments and creating new solutions and changes of perspective. Alloy features the owner's cabin, conceived as a true private suite on three levels. The design was realised to maximise liveability on board: located on the main deck, in the vessel's wide body area, the owner's cabin consists of a sleeping area, a lounge on the mezzanine level and one on the upper deck, a versatile indoor study area, and a large open area on the bow complete with sundeck, Jacuzzi and relaxation areas.
More intimate spaces combine with areas devoted to conviviality: Alloy is divided between spaces exclusively available to the owner and spaces dedicated to guests: from the four double cabins on the lower deck, to the sun deck, to the large beach club that also hosts a gym and an outdoor platform flush with the water thanks to the folding sides and transom that open to allow a full connection with the sea.
A completely new concept and project developed by the Sanlorenzo team, who entrusted the creativity of the Zuccon International Project studio with the design of the exterior lines and the development of the concept. The interiors of the superyacht Alloy exhibited in Monaco are designed by German firm Ash.
Innovative volumes and proportions characterise 57Steel and Alloy, which will share the space with SP110, an advanced, evolved and revolutionary proposition that has opened a new chapter in the yachting sector as it is capable of combining green sensibility with unique comfort and unparalleled performance. A pioneering model, the first yacht in the smart performance range, SP110 is the result of the collaboration of a team of professionals at the highest levels of their individual skills: Bernardo Zuccon for the exteriors, Tilli Antonelli for product development at Sanlorenzo, Marco Arnaboldi for the hull design, Piero Lissoni for the interiors.
The Sanlorenzo models will be joined by the Bluegame newcomer presented at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the BGM75, the first model in the new BGM range with which the Sanlorenzo Group brand enters the multihull segment.
SP110: the first Open Coupè by Sanlorenzo. Smart performance.
Press release, 28 May 2022 - Carrying forward research into the development of technologies with a low environmental impact but without forgetting the importance of the yacht's driving experience, Sanlorenzo has created the new SP110 model. An advanced, evolved and revolutionary proposal that opens a new chapter in the yachting sector as it combines a green sensibility with unique comfort and unparalleled performance.
The aim of the SP110 project for Sanlorenzo is to write a new success story in yachting and enter the world of sports yachts with a yacht that breaks the mould. SP110 represents an advanced technological patform that combines innovation and sustainability with a design that favours maximum comfort. A project made possible by the collaboration of a team of professionals at the highest levels in individual skills: Bernardo Zuccon for the exteriors, Tilli Antonelli at Sanlorenzo product development, Marco Arnaboldi for the hull design, Piero Lissoni for the interiors.
The first yacht in the SP - "Smart Performance" range, it is the result of an ambitious design goal: to guarantee high performance with the maximum energy efficiency thanks to a fractional propulsion system consisting of three significantly smaller, with the best weight/power ratio. Depending on the conditions and the owner's needs, the boat is able to move around using just one engine, a pair or all three, thus allowing great flexibility, low consumption and a different autonomy depending on the desired speed.
Fundamental to the realisation of SP110 is the hull, designed by Marco Arnaboldi, optimised for use with hydrojet propulsion. This type of propulsion is an advantage over propeller propulsion because it is less sensitive to variations in the boat's weight and therefore more versatile. The study of water lines has resulted in a surprisingly efficient hull with a maximum beam of over 8 metres for a total length of 33 metres. The double-edged flank guarantees on the one hand a width for buoyancy that maintains the highest performance and comfort even in rough seas, and on the other hand offers a considerable surface area that can be exploited both outdoors and indoors.
To further optimise consumption and performance, various solutions have been used to ensure significant weight savings. Lightened materials like the laminated glass used for the large surfaces of the windows, which cover almost 80% of the boat. The latter on the outside pick up the colour of the hull making the surface homogeneous while maintaining an excellent luminosity inside.
The exterior design, by the Zuccon International Project studio, is the result of complex research work to create new stylistic features strongly identifying the new range, thus maintaining continuity with Sanlorenzo's tradition. The unprecedented forms, the proportions, the aerodynamic lines, as well as the livery, which departs from the shipyard's more traditional colours to come closer to the more typical colours of sports yachts, refer to the strongly emotional character of this boat.
"The SP110 tries to question certain canons that characterise the performance boats we are used to. While respecting the stylistic features that have historically characterised this type of boat, such as the aerodynamic and extremely organic surfaces, with Tilli Antonelli we arrived at a compromise: to conceive a boat dialogue between dynamism and a liveability that is not normally perceived on boats of this size." - Bernardo Zuccon, Zuccon International Project.
Another key element around which the SP110's design revolves is sustainability. In fact, the boat is equipped with an energy recovery system that uses high-efficiency 6kW monocrystalline solar panels flanked by a package of lithium batteries that allow the boat to maintain hotellerie functions for a few hours without the use of generators. The design of the deckhouse was specially studied for the application of the solar panels in order to obtain the largest usable surface without disturbing the aesthetics of the boat's profile. With a view to keeping the lines as homogenous as possible, there is a retractable anchor and the stern davit for launching tenders and other watertoys is also retractable.
The SP110 is a two-deck yacht with an unprecedented layout, consisting of large surfaces that can be used in a variety of ways, for an interior and exterior liveability that is unequalled on a yacht of this type. The interior spaces, designed by Piero Lissoni, are articulated in such a way as to favour and simplify conviviality as much as privacy. On the upper deck, the large sun deck is complemented by the wheelhouse overlooking the bow. The lowered deck allows the lower deck to be enjoyed from a view of the living area aft and the sea, while outside, from the deck aft, there is visual access to the lower lounge on the main deck. These solutions once again allow a total synergy between the interior and exterior environment.
One of the most peculiar parts of the design is the bow area, equipped with an extended dinette with dining area and large sunbathing area, which can be enjoyed at its best especially when the yacht is at anchor, because it is fully invested by the sea breeze.
The interior volumes are definitely unexpected, with generous spaces both in the cabins of the sleeping area and in the private areas. For the furnishings, Piero Lissoni proposed a minimalism that perfectly embraces the philosophy of the overall design of the SP110. The challenge was to maintain an elegant and refined aesthetic without overdoing the details and keeping the finishes as basic as possible compared to other models. The same approach to the use of light materials was also applied in the interior design, particularly in the bathrooms, where lava stone was used instead of marble, which is lighter and visually more energetic.
"I tried to bring the same attitude as the other models to this boat with its sporty lines: open spaces, connection between interior and exterior, and lots of technology. One of the central elements is the double height at the stern that makes the main deck communicate with the lounge below via a hyper-technological staircase." - Piero Lissoni.
A further special feature of the yacht is the galley, located between the upper saloon and the helm deck, which can be enclosed by solid or translucent walls that allow the eye to pass through the glass windows and visually reach the bridge, providing a perspective that considerably widens the spaces.
Finally, the cockpit is the focal point of the boat's liveability. Almost 50 metres from side to side, the low position that brings the guest even closer to the water, the seamless connection to the main hall through a large, fully opening window, this space has an unparalleled surface area never seen on a boat of this type. Equipped with a lounge area for flexible use, it adapts to different moments of conviviality and sociability on board. Under the flooring it is possible to place a tender that disappears completely from view allowing a total use of the spaces up to sea level. Below the flooring it is possible to place a tender that disappears completely from view, allowing total enjoyment of the space down to sea level.
The design of the SP110 embodies Sanlorenzo's vision in which the founding principles of sustainability, comfort and exclusivity converge, projecting the shipyard into the future with a boat that completely moves away from convetional models in the same market segment and at the same time sets a new benchmark for the models that will follow.
