Sanlorenzo has built yachts in Italy since 1958, when Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia founded the yard near Florence. The headquarters moved to Ameglia, in the province of La Spezia, in 1999, and the company now builds across four sites in Liguria and Tuscany — Ameglia, La Spezia, Massa, and Viareggio. It works to a made-to-measure model, delivering a limited number of yachts each year rather than building to volume, which is why no two Sanlorenzos read quite the same below decks.
The Sanlorenzo range
The fleet spans roughly 24 to 70 metres across three families. The fibreglass SL and SD lines cover the planing and semi-displacement range that most charter guests will recognise; the steel-and-aluminium SX and X-Space crossover models open the main deck to the sea and carry a tender garage aft; and the larger custom 44Alloy and 50Steel displacement yachts sit at the top of the range for owners who want longer legs and more volume. In 2018 the SL102 Asymmetric introduced the asymmetric layout — keeping the side deck on one side of the main deck and routing the other over the superstructure, which frees interior space and widens the connection to the water. Hull by hull, owners specify layout, materials, and finish with the yard directly.
Sanlorenzo for charter in Greece
A Sanlorenzo charters well in Greek waters precisely because of how it is built. The SX and crossover models give you a beach club and a flat, low main deck for swimming and dining at anchor — the kind of day that suits the Cyclades, where you move between Koufonisia, Mykonos, and the smaller anchorages on your own clock. The SL planing yachts cover ground quickly when an itinerary runs from Athens out to the Ionian or down to the Dodecanese. Most of the Sanlorenzo charter fleet we work with is based in Greece for the summer. Weekly charter rates depend on the individual yacht, her age, her crew, and the season; tell us the week and the cruising area and we will shortlist what is genuinely available rather than what merely looks good on paper.
Sanlorenzo beyond Greece
Most of the Sanlorenzo fleet we represent is in Greek waters, but not all of it. A handful summer in the western Mediterranean — the French Riviera, the Italian coast, and the Balearics — so if you want the western Med rather than the Aegean, tell us and we will start from the yachts already there.
Sanlorenzo for sale
On the sales side we act as central agent, co-broker, and buyer's representative. If you are buying, a Sanlorenzo holds value comparatively well for an Italian semi-custom yard, and the made-to-measure history means survey detail and refit records matter — we read them with you before you commit. If you are selling, we position the yacht to the global broker market and to our own charter-side relationships. Commission is included in the listing price.
A typical Greek week aboard a Sanlorenzo
From a base on the Athens Riviera you can reach Hydra by lunch and be at anchor in the western Cyclades by evening. Our brokers plan the route around the yacht, the Meltemi, and your dates — see our Greece charter itineraries for the routes we run most often, from a seven-day Cyclades loop to longer passages.
Tell us your dates, guest count, and the cruising area you have in mind, and we will match you to the right Sanlorenzo for charter or for sale.
