The first unit in Sanlorenzo's SD132 series, named Andiamo, has been delivered. The 40.7-metre yacht is the largest composite, semi-displacement yacht built by the Italian shipyard, though the SD132 is said to "continue the legacy" of its smaller siblings.
The model is characterised by an impressive volume of 420GT, which "makes [the SD132] unique among models of this size", according to the yard. One of the design's strengths is the configuration of the beach club area, which is connected seamlessly to the aft cockpit and features a television-equipped bar and lounge seating area. Lateral terraces, once opened, offer guests a large walkable surface of 70 square metres and free the cockpit from any visual obstacles for far-reaching ocean views.
Long-standing collaborator Zuccon International Project is responsible for the interior and exterior design, the latter of which is typified by an asymmetrical layout that enhances space and functionality across three decks.
Accommodation is for up to 12 guests across four guest cabins, located on the lower deck, and a spacious owner's suite – measuring 55 square metres – in the forward section of the main deck. Interiors feature an earthy colour palette and soft tones and textures that "emphasise sensory engagement". This includes a stone-like cement finish in the bathroom and owner's suite.
Another model highlight is the flybridge, which measures 85 square metres. A mini pool with a sunbathing system is found in the forward living area, connecting this section to the main deck, while a side garage with transverse launching capability can accommodate a tender of up to 6.2 metres.
Further charter favourites include a Technogym-outfitted gym and an additional hangar to house toys or a rescue boat.
Andiamo will be available for charter in the Adriatic this summer, with EB Yachts Solutions as her central agency.
Ieva Zukauskaite, managing director at EB Yachts Solutions, said: "We’re incredibly excited to welcome the first Sanlorenzo SD132, Andiamo, to our charter fleet. As the only one of its kind available for charter, representing such an extraordinary vessel as her central agency is an honour."
She continued: "The experience onboard is not just about the yacht itself but also the service provided by the exceptional crew led by Captain Tomislav Petric. Knowing the Adriatic [like] the back of his hand, guests can expect an unforgettable charter experience, just as memorable as the vessel itself.’’
"The exceptional market response has been confirmed by the five contracts already signed before the launch, demonstrating the great success and appreciation this yacht is receiving among owners," said Tommaso Vincenzi, president of Sanlorenzo's Yacht Business Unit.
The model offers a maximum speed of 17 knots and a range of 3,200 nautical miles, powered by twin CAT or MAN engines.
