Sanlorenzo SL Series

The SL line is Sanlorenzo's range of planing motor yachts, and the one most people picture when they think of the brand. Recent models are known for their asymmetric decks.

The SL Series

SL yachts have been part of Sanlorenzo's range for decades, and earlier models such as the SL78, SL86, SL96, SL104, SL106 and SL118 still trade actively. The SL118 served as the company's composite flagship in its day.

The line changed direction with the SL102 Asymmetric, introduced in 2018. Today's range, including the SL80A, SL86A, SL90A, SL96A, SL110A and SL120A, is built largely around that idea. The Sanlorenzo builder page covers the yard's other lines.

Design

The asymmetric concept, conceived with automotive designer Chris Bangle and developed with Zuccon International Project, keeps a single side deck on one side. On the other, the main-deck interior extends to the hull side, gaining living space and letting full-height windows face the sea directly.

The remaining side deck gives crew a protected route for mooring. As with every Sanlorenzo, owners can shape the layout and interior considerably, so two SL yachts of the same model rarely match.

Buying a Sanlorenzo SL Series

Planing yachts work their engines hard, so engine hours, maintenance records and drivelines matter as much as the finish. A good survey also looks at the composite structure, the running gear and, on asymmetric models, the glazing on the widebody side.

Given how personalized Sanlorenzo yachts are, buyers should compare specification line by line rather than rely on the model name. Daniel's buying guide explains how offers, deposits and survey usually unfold.

Owning and selling a Sanlorenzo SL Series

SL yachts enjoy a loyal following in both Europe and the Americas, and buyers often arrive knowing which generation they want. Asymmetric models carry a clear design story. Earlier symmetric yachts are judged more on refit history and engine condition.

Daniel begins with a private valuation based on close comparables, then prepares a presentation that explains the layout choices on board. Owners can read more on the Sanlorenzo seller page.

Questions owners ask

What does the A in SL90A or SL120A mean?

It stands for Asymmetric. These models keep a side deck on one side only, which lets the main-deck interior extend to the hull on the other side for more living space and larger windows. The concept began with the SL102 Asymmetric, introduced in 2018.

Who designed the asymmetric SL yachts?

The idea came from automotive designer Chris Bangle, known for his work at BMW, and was developed with Zuccon International Project, which is credited with the exterior design of the asymmetric models. Interiors are highly personalized and vary from yacht to yacht.

Are older, symmetric SL yachts still worth considering?

Often, yes. Earlier SL models trade widely and can offer strong value when well maintained. Condition, engine hours, refit history and layout matter more than the generation itself, so each yacht should be judged on its own records and survey.
