About Sanlorenzo

The company was founded in 1958 in Limite sull'Arno, near Florence, and later moved to the coast. Its modern era began in 2005, when Massimo Perotti acquired control and set the direction the brand still follows. Headquarters are in Ameglia, near La Spezia, with further yards in La Spezia for superyachts, Viareggio for larger composite yachts, and Massa.

Sanlorenzo is organized into yacht and superyacht divisions, with the Bluegame brand producing sport utility yachts and the sailing yacht builder Nautor Swan brought into the group from 2024. The brand is well known for working with designers and artists from outside yachting, and for asymmetric and crossover layouts that reshape how owners use a yacht.

Its positioning is made to measure rather than off the shelf. Even within a series, owners can influence layout, interior and equipment significantly, which gives each pre-owned Sanlorenzo a character of its own. It also explains why the brand's owners are often loyal, moving from one Sanlorenzo to a larger one as their plans change.

Sanlorenzo yacht models

Sanlorenzo's ranges are defined by hull type and purpose, from planing yachts to steel displacement superyachts.

Buying a Sanlorenzo yacht

The range is broad, so the survey plan depends on the line. A planing SL or SP calls for close attention to engines, drivelines and composite structure. Steel superyachts require the usual hull, coating and systems review, while SD yachts reward a look at how their long-range capability has actually been used. Given how much each Sanlorenzo is personalized, buyers should compare specification carefully rather than assume two sister ships are equal.

Sanlorenzo yachts trade widely, from the Mediterranean to Florida, the Bahamas and New England. Flag, class, crew arrangements and any charter history all affect running costs and resale. The buying guide explains how offers, deposits and survey usually unfold.

Selling a Sanlorenzo yacht

Sanlorenzo has a strong following, and buyers often arrive knowing which line and generation they want. Valuation therefore depends on precise comparables: sister ships and close peers, adjusted for layout, refit history, engine hours and equipment. Owners considering a sale can read more on Daniel's Sanlorenzo seller page or begin with a private valuation.

Daniel can present a Sanlorenzo discreetly to qualified buyers or through a worldwide campaign with cooperating brokers. The Cannes Yachting Festival, the Monaco Yacht Show, Fort Lauderdale and Miami are all natural settings. Preparation focuses on documentation, a clean engine room and photography that shows the thinking behind the layout. Where a yacht carries a notable designer interior or unusual options, Daniel makes sure buyers understand what they are looking at.

Why work with Daniel Grant

Daniel works independently at Reel Deal Yachts in Miami and spends much of the year in New York and the Mediterranean, where many Sanlorenzos are based. Owners have one personal contact supported by an established brokerage team.

His work is discreet and grounded in sold comparables and documented condition rather than asking prices. Conversations are confidential and without obligation.

Questions owners ask

What is the difference between the Sanlorenzo SL, SD and SX lines?

SL yachts are planing, built for speed and a sporty character. SD yachts have semi-displacement hulls designed for efficient long-distance cruising at a relaxed pace. SX yachts are crossovers that combine flybridge and explorer ideas around a large, open aft deck. The right line depends on how and where the owner intends to cruise.

Where are Sanlorenzo yachts built?

Sanlorenzo is headquartered in Ameglia, near La Spezia, with yards in La Spezia for superyachts and in Viareggio for larger composite yachts, plus a facility in Massa. The company was founded in 1958 near Florence before moving to the coast, and the brand has been led by Massimo Perotti since 2005.

How long does it take to sell a Sanlorenzo?

It varies with size, line, condition and pricing. A well-presented Sanlorenzo priced in line with recent sold comparables tends to attract serious interest, as the brand has an established following. Timing around the spring and autumn shows can help. Daniel sets out a realistic plan after reviewing the yacht and the current buyer pool.
