Sanlorenzo 40Alloy (2007 - 2020) Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the 40 has won 2 awards, most recently for "Best Exterior Styling - Motor Yacht"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the fast displacement hull of the 40 delivers speeds of up to 27 knots. Some may even choose their yacht based upon features such as: fast-displacement hull, 22-knot performance, all-aluminium build, inspired interior design, tri-deck and beach club.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Sanlorenzo 40 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Benetti Fast 140' and Sanlorenzo 460 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the 40 features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a dressing table and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Horizon P130 and Gulf Craft 125 also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

In terms of cruising performance, the Sanlorenzo 40 leads the way with an impressive cruising speed of 24 knots thanks to its twin 2,600hp MTU 16V 2000 M94 engines and maximum speed of 27 knots at 2,450rpm. Closely followed by, the Custom Line 120 with a respectable cruising speed of 22 knots. The Benetti Fast 125 also impresses with a cruising speed of 18 knots. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Horizon P130, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Horizon P130 impresses with its extensive range of 4,606 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The Sunseeker 42M Ocean, Gulf Craft 125 and Benetti Oasis 40M all feature shallow drafts for yachts of this size, allowing them to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Custom Line 120 is especially impressive, with a top speed of 25 knots and cruising speed of 22 knots. The Sanlorenzo 460 has an impressive gross tonnage of 460GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Sanlorenzo 40Alloy stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
