Sanlorenzo has launched the latest unit in its popular SD90 series from its shipyard in Ameglia, Italy. Delivery is anticipated for the end of July, with the build overseen by Sanlorenzo Yachts UK.
The 27.3-metre model has been built entirely in GRP to a design by Zuccon International Project. Naval architecture is owed to Philippe Briand, including the "economical and seaworthy" hull characteristic of the series. Key numbers include a volume of 150GT, a seven-metre beam and a draft of 1.9 metres.
Accommodation is for up to eight guests across a multi-generational layout that comprises a full-beam master on the main deck, two double guest cabins and one twin cabin with a Pullman berth. There is further accommodation for four crew.
Her custom interior was inspired by the designs of Spanish architect Patricia Urquiola with curved, fluted wood incorporated throughout. The owner's daughter-in-law owns her own design studio and so assisted in styling the interior, particularly with the "soft décor and tasteful furniture".
"The build and design of this SD90 has been very much a family affair," said Nick Hatfield of Sanlorenzo Yachts UK. "This is a yacht perfectly suited to cruising in the Mediterranean – where she'll be based – allowing the owner and those on board to escape the crowds in style and comfort while visiting the plethora of secluded coves and shallow anchorages only accessible via the sea."
The model is powered by twin MAN 8V 1200hp engines for a range of over 1,200 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11 knots.
This follows the launch of Sanlorenzo's first fuel-cell powered superyacht, Almax.
With hotel load powered by "green" methanol and fuel cell reformer technology, the 49.9-metre yacht marks one of a small, but growing number of yachts exploring alternative power sources in a bid for carbon-neutral cruising.
