Sail with Class

The maker of some of the most finely wrought super yachts in the world, Sanlorenzo,
has launched its biggest vessel to date, the Sanlorenzo 52Steel, Seven Sins, which
is to be on display this year at the Monaco Yacht Show in September. Sanlorenzo
yachts are entirely made to order, designed to incorporate the client’s wishes into
every line of every yacht. With innovative solutions involving acoustics, lighting
and the utilisation of space, the yachts exude comfort and luxury. The company
has brought an extended water-toys platform for Asia after it joined forces last year
with the region’s premier yacht dealership company, Simpson Marine. Asia has now
become home to an SL96, SL106 and 460EXP, and the much-anticipated arrival of an
SL78 in May in Hong Kong. www.sanlorenzoyacht.com
