A hotbed of constant innovation, Sanlorenzo Superyacht moves forward at an intense pace and launch a new unit: the sixth 52Steel, metal model with a length of 52 meters and five decks, under 500GT.
Constructed at the La Spezia shipyard, the production site of over 50,000 sqm where oversized models are shaped in metal, the 52Steel offers large indoor and outdoor spaces, with design solutions normally found on models of much bigger size, together with farsighted technical innovations that have brought inspiration to the entire sector. A superyacht of remarkable success, highly acclaimed on an international level, reasserting Sanlorenzo's place as one of the most important Italian players in the metal yacht industry.
Among the revolutionary features of 52Steel, which have led to many important prizes and honors, there is the entire stern area: the swimming pool with its transparent bottom, on the main deck, allows light to pass into the space below, a large floodable garage that converts into a beach area that can be expanded thanks to folding terraces, creating a dreamlike effect.
Elegant and majestic, 52Steel also stands out for its large glass surfaces that bring natural light to the interiors, while at the same time reinforcing the connection with the sea, opening the yacht to the world outside. The relationship with the natural surroundings and the way in which each owner experiences it, are decisive factors for Sanlorenzo yachts.
The refined outdoor areas of this sixth unit are combined with interiors in a modern, sophisticated style, designed by the architect Tiziana Vercellesi who, by request of the owner, has played with a combination of very different materials: fine wood varieties in contrasting tones, nabuk and leathers to clad ceilings and walls, marble and onyx with precious grain, and Venini chandeliers designed specifically for this vessel.
A new model, which like all Sanlorenzo yachts has been made to measure to reflect the desires, personality and lifestyle of the boat's inhabitants.
"Designing the interiors of a yacht is always a challenge, not just in terms of time, but also in the process of grasping and enhancing the expectations of the client. The customers come from all over the world and they bring the typical styles and cultures of their places of origin. In the preliminary meetings with the owners, my job is to try to understand their tastes, the context in which they live, their aspirations. Then, together, we create a pathway in which they can directly participate, offering their own interpretations of the evolution of the project, at times. This enables them to express their desires through my 'pencil,' as it were. So yes, this yacht too is unique, because it reflects the vision of the owner. It is a challenge, but it is also the most beautiful journey." - Tiziana Vercellesi
