SANLORENZO'S 36-KNOT SP110 REIMAGINES ONBOARD SPACE AND EFFICIENT WATER-JET PROPULSION.

BREAKING BOUNDARIES

SPEED IS A RELATIVE THING. STREAKING ACROSS THE SKY AT 600 KNOTS in an airliner seems like nothing, while running along the sea at 40 knots on a 113-ton, 108-foot yacht seems incredibly quick. When looking astern, one doesn't see a wake; instead, massive fire-hose blasts exit the three water jets.

But that's not the only surprising thing about the Sanlorenzo SP110 (SP for smart performance). With exterior lines from Studio Zuccon International Project, interior design by Piero Lissoni and a hull form from Marco Arnaboldi, this group literally turned everything around.

Many yachts have an atrium, using the slanted windshield to create an open forward entry to the lower staterooms. On the Sanlorenzo, the atrium is aft, with a double-height space that provides ocean vistas from the upper salon as well as a lower "den" with loft-like space. This den opens directly to the corridor leading to the four staterooms, so guests can mosey from their staterooms directly into this space overlooking the aft deck, perhaps to enjoy morning espresso and croissants. Then, they can ascend a floating stairway that underlines the airy feel of this yacht.
