SANLORENZO
Known for outstanding ‘made to measure’ Italian design, Sanlorenzo is globally recognised as one of the leading shipyards of the world. Each yacht is designed and produced according to the specific requests, style, and desires of each individual owner creating a truly unique yacht. Sanlorenzo offer a full range of production yachts from 76′′ to 126′′ in composite, and custom built steel and aluminum superyachts from 40m up to 80m. For over 60 years the Sanlorenzo shipyards have been producing high quality motor yachts, the result of a combination of craftsmanship, design and advanced technologies, made-to-measure according to the owner’s specific requests.
Founded in 1958 by Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia with the opening of the first shipyard near Florence, Sanlorenzo was taken over in 1972 by Giovanni Jannetti who launched the first fibre-glass hull boat in 1985 and moved the headquarters to Ameglia (SP). In 2005, Massimo Perotti-with a wealth of experience gained in over twenty years of activity in the sector-took the baton. Under the direction of Mr. Massimo Perotti, Chairman of Sanlorenzo, the shipyard has gone through a period of extraordinary growth, bringing consolidated net revenues from new yachts to a level of 40 million euros in 2004 to 457,7million euros in 2020. As one of the main producers worldwide of yachts and superyachts, Sanlorenzo has today four production plants: La Spezia, dedicated to the production of Superyachts, Ameglia for the production of medium and large size yachts, Viareggio, for the production of fiber glass yachts over 100 feet and Massa, the center for the research and development of new models. With the acquisition, Sanlorenzo received a significant impetus for innovation and over the years has successfully implemented numerous completely unprecedented concepts that have profoundly changed the yachting world.
A major milestone in this journey was its opening to the world of design through the collaboration with renown designers such as Rodolfo Dordoni, Citterio Viel, Piero Lissoni (Sanlorenzo’s Art Director since 2018), Patricia Urquiola, John Pawson and Christian Liaigre. This unique, innovative approach has also led the company, over the years, to bond with the world of art through the collaborations with major Galleries and cultural institutions. In 2018Sanlorenzo has entered a global partnership agreement with Art Basel, the leading art fair for modern and contemporary art for the annual events in Hong Kong, in Basel and Miami Beach. In 2020, Sanlorenzo also became the Institutional Patron of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection(the most important museum in Italy for 20th century European and American art).
