What is a crossover yacht?

Sanlorenzo uses the term for the SX line, which combines a classic flybridge motor yacht with elements of an explorer: a large, open stern area close to the water, practical tender and toy handling, and a relaxed, open-plan interior intended for long days at anchor.

Which SX models are there?

The line began with the SX88 in 2017 and has grown to include the SX76, SX100, SX112 and the SX120 flagship, which debuted at the 2025 Cannes Yachting Festival. Sizes run from about 24 to 37 meters, so the line covers owner-operated yachts as well as fully crewed ones.

Who designs Sanlorenzo SX yachts?

The SX88's exterior was by Officina Italiana Design, while later models carry exteriors by Zuccon International Project. Piero Lissoni, Sanlorenzo's art director, is closely associated with SX interiors and their open, residential character, with loose furniture and wide glass walls rather than fixed divisions.

The SX Series

The SX88 made its debut at Cannes in September 2017 and introduced a new category for Sanlorenzo. It combined a flybridge yacht's sociability with explorer-style practicality, and treated the interior as an open sea-loft rather than a sequence of rooms.

The family grew in both directions: the compact SX76, the SX112, the SX100 filling the gap between them, and the 37-meter SX120 flagship revealed for Cannes in 2025. The Sanlorenzo builder page explains how SX sits beside the SL and SD lines.

Design

Piero Lissoni, Sanlorenzo's art director, has shaped SX interiors with loose furniture, wide glass walls facing the sea and few fixed divisions. The stern is devoted to a large beach area, and on bigger models fold-down terraces widen it further.

The SX76 pairs an open plan with a single helm on the flybridge and Volvo IPS propulsion. The SX100 adds a reverse windscreen, cut-out bulwarks and a crane built into the superstructure.

Buying a Sanlorenzo SX Series

SX yachts cruise at moderate planing and semi-planing speeds, so survey should look at engines or pod drives, the composite structure and the hydraulics that operate terraces and garage doors. Open-plan interiors vary a great deal between hulls, which affects both use and appeal.

Daniel helps buyers weigh one size against another and against conventional flybridge yachts, then manages the steps described in his buying guide.

Owning and selling a Sanlorenzo SX Series

The SX concept remains distinctive, and owners who choose it tend to value its informal, open way of living aboard. That clarity helps when a yacht comes to market. Condition, engine hours, the chosen layout and any designer interior all shape interest.

Daniel prepares an SX for sale with a private valuation built on sister-ship comparables and photography that shows the open spaces in use. More detail is on the Sanlorenzo seller page.
