Sanlorenzo La Spezia: Where Design Meets Detail

Sanlorenzo La Spezia: Where Design Meets Detail

Sanlorenzo has long been recognized as one of the most design driven builders in the world of superyachts. Known for pairing contemporary Italian style with advanced engineering, the brand’s reputation is built on yachts that feel personal, timeless, and meticulously refined. At the La Spezia shipyard, these qualities come to life across the steel and aluminum superyacht range, from 40 meters through to 70 meters.

A First Look: The 57Steel

During our visit, the standout moment was stepping aboard a brand new 57Steel, just days away from delivery. Experiencing a yacht at this stage offered a rare glimpse into Sanlorenzo’s exacting attention to detail. Every element — from the flow of the layout to the finishing of materials — reflected a philosophy centered on liveability and understated elegance.

The 57Steel also embodies Sanlorenzo’s approach to evolution: integrating features usually reserved for larger yachts, such as a beach club and expansive outdoor spaces, into a size range that remains accessible to a wide range of experienced owners. It is a perfect example of how Sanlorenzo continues to redefine what clients can expect from a mid sized steel yacht.

Inside the Showroom

We also had the opportunity to spend time in the showroom, where Sanlorenzo’s area manager gave us a presentation on what is in the pipeline for the brand. While many details remain confidential, one thing stood out immediately: the layouts are bold, architectural, and unique in their approach to space. This reflects Sanlorenzo’s ongoing commitment to pushing the boundaries of what yacht interiors can be, while always remaining anchored in function and elegance.

Semi Custom Philosophy

Unlike many builders, Sanlorenzo is known for its semi custom philosophy. Owners begin with a proven platform but are then able to shape layouts, materials, and features to suit their lifestyle. This balance between structure and freedom is one of the yard’s defining strengths.

For clients, it means less time lost to design uncertainties and more confidence in a reliable platform without sacrificing individuality. It is a process that blends efficiency with artistry, and it is one of the reasons Sanlorenzo yachts are so highly regarded on the brokerage and charter markets worldwide.

Facilities in La Spezia

The La Spezia yard is purpose built to deliver the larger end of Sanlorenzo’s range. With construction halls, outfitting sheds, and direct waterfront access for launches, the site

has become the focal point for the steel and aluminum divisions. The organization and precision of the yard reflect Sanlorenzo’s DNA: a quiet confidence, with every detail managed to the highest standard.

Why It Matters

Sanlorenzo represents a distinctive path for owners who value design, personalization, and long term elegance. The La Spezia shipyard is not about mass production but about curating yachts that hold their relevance and desirability for decades.

For Ahoy Club, previewing a 57Steel on the verge of delivery and seeing future projects in the showroom reaffirmed Sanlorenzo’s reputation as a shipyard where design and detail truly matter. It is a builder that offers our clients both confidence and creativity, a partnership between engineering and art.
