The SD118 and 500 Exp, standout models from Sanlorenzo's Yacht and Superyacht divisions, demonstrate the brand’s incorporation of timeless aesthetics and modern functionality. Their attendance at the 2025 Palm Beach International Boat Show offers attendees an exclusive look at two unique seafaring experiences.
SD118: Asymmetry and Elegance
A standout in Sanlorenzo’s semi-displacement line, the SD118 is a yacht that immediately commands. The asymmetrical layout challenges conventional yacht design to create better movement of open spaces between the interior and exterior.
The extended upper deck of the superyacht maximizes the connection with the surrounding seascape. On the port side, a side deck extends from stern to bow, complemented by an open bulwark near the living area that transforms into a sea-facing terrace. Meanwhile, the starboard side adopts a wide-body design, increasing the interior volume and creating an ultra-comfortable onboard experience.
At the bow, an elegant two-tiered living area provides an ideal setting for relaxation, while at the stern, the yacht’s 19-square-meter beach club brings guests even closer to the water.
Fold-down terraces and a lifting platform extend the living space on the explorer yacht, transforming the stern into a true sea-level lounge perfect for relaxation, water activities, and ocean access.
500 Exp: Adventure Without Limits
This 47-meter superyacht is designed for long-range exploration, boasting a combination of state-of-the-art technology and refined aesthetics.
The profile of the yacht is inspired by the robust silhouettes of expedition vessels, yet it remains unmistakably Sanlorenzo with its sleek lines and sophisticated detailing. Built for autonomy, the yacht offers a transoceanic range of over 4,000 nautical miles, making it an ideal choice for those who wish to venture into remote destinations while enjoying the comforts of a superyacht.
Beyond its range and efficiency, the motor yacht stands out with its exceptional onboard features. The aft deck is designed to accommodate a helicopter, tender, seaplane, or even a submarine—an impressive capability for a yacht of this size. When these assets are deployed, the deck converts into an expansive sunbathing and social space, offering breathtaking views over the ocean.
On the lower deck, the beach club serves as a direct connection to the sea. Fold-down terraces extend over the water, creating an open-air lounge that enhances the onboard lifestyle.
Expanding Sanlorenzo’s Presence in the U.S.
In addition to the SD118 and 500 Exp, Sanlorenzo will exhibit superyacht La Luna, a 34m Sanlorenzo SX112 at this year's Palm Beach International Boat show. La Luna boasts a semi-displacement GRP hull and superstructure, providing accommodation for up to 10 guests in five en-suite cabins, including a master suite, two double cabins, and two twin cabins. Powered by four Volvo Penta engines, she reaches a top speed of 23 knots and cruises comfortably at 20 knots.
Sanlorenzo’s participation in the Palm Beach International Boat Show is a clear reflection of its growing influence in the American yachting scene. Through its U.S. branch, Sanlorenzo of the Americas, the brand is strengthening its position in the luxury yacht segment, particularly in the over-24-meter category.
