Sanlorenzo SP110: Open-Plan, High-Performance Mediterranean Yacht Built for Speed, Light and Freedom

Introduction: A New Generation of Performance Yachting

The Sanlorenzo SP110 marks one of the most progressive steps in modern yacht design. When she premiered at the Monaco Yacht Show, she immediately stood out—not just for her sharp, aerodynamic profile but for a radically different spatial philosophy inside. SP110 is the first model in Sanlorenzo’s “Smart Performance” line, integrating advanced hydrodynamics, high-efficiency propulsion, and architectural interior design in a way that reshapes how a 33-meter yacht can feel.

In 2024, I had the chance to visit the SP110 during the Monaco Yacht Show. Walking through the yacht felt entirely different from any traditional sport yacht. Instead of the usual segmented layout with dark corridors, the SP110 opens vertically and horizontally. The double-height salon, floor-to-ceiling glass surfaces and open circulation create an atmosphere rarely found on yachts under 40 meters.

This isn’t a “loft,” strictly speaking—but the loft-inspired openness, spatial freedom, and architectural minimalism deliver an emotional experience similar to stepping into a modern, light-filled gallery apartment. And that alone explains why SP110 has quickly become one of the most talked-about designs of its generation.

Design Revelation — Open-Space Architecture

SP110’s interior is designed by Piero Lissoni, known for his ability to blur boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Here, the concept is not to imitate a loft, but to achieve the same sense of uninterrupted space and height—something revolutionary for a performance yacht.

What stands out:

Double-height main salon with a mezzanine-style space above

Floating staircase connecting the upper lounge and lower salon

Minimalist furniture that complements the yacht’s geometry

Panoramic windows that amplify natural light

Aft deck connected directly to the salon through full-beam sliding glass doors

This is an interior that feels calm, modern, sophisticated and completely uncluttered. If you value natural light and an airy sense of volume, the SP110 is among the most impressive yachts in its size category.

Performance & Propulsion: Triple 2,000 HP MAN Engines; Built for Speed and Precision

One of the defining features of the SP110 is its propulsion system:

3 × 2,000 HP MAN V12 engines

39-knot top speed

Waterjet propulsion for reduced vibration and fast acceleration

Efficient cruising at 35+ knots

Very few yachts under 35 meters offer this combination of power, stability, and fuel efficiency. This makes the SP110 a dream yacht for island-hopping enthusiasts who want to cover long distances quickly.

Why This Matters for Charter Clients

Greek Islands: Jump Between Islands in Minutes

For charters in Greece, speed is a game changer. The ability to go from:

Mykonos › Paros in 25 minutes

Paros › Ios in 20 minutes

Ios › Santorini in 30 minutes

turns a standard weekly itinerary into a dynamic multi-island adventure.

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast: Explore More Without Losing Time

The SP110 allows charters to reach:

Split › Hvar in 20 minutes

Hvar › Vis in 25 minutes

Vis › Korcula in 40 minutes

This makes the yacht ideal for guests who prefer shorter distances between anchorages and want to maximize exploration time.

Turkish Riviera: Bodrum • Göcek • Kaş at High Speed

Along the Turkish coastline, the SP110 easily connects:

Bodrum › Kos › Symi › Rhodes in a single day

Göcek › Kaş › Kalkan seamlessly

Marmaris › Datça › Bodrum with room to spare

For our clients who charter extensively in Turkey, the SP110 offers a level of mobility unmatched by traditional displacement yachts.

Sustainability & Smart Energy Management

SP110 introduces several eco-smart features:

Extensive solar panel surfaces that charge the onboard lithium battery array

No-generator nights at anchor for silent living

Lightweight hull construction improving fuel efficiency

Energy recovery systems integrated into its performance profile

While it is not a fully hybrid yacht, SP110 represents a meaningful step toward lower-emission yachting.

Accommodations & Deck Layout

Guest Layout

The typical SP110 layout includes:

Full-beam master cabin

The lower deck accommodation benefits from wide hull windows and contemporary lighting, continuing the yacht’s airy, gallery-like feel.

Outdoor Spaces

Massive stern terrace with direct water access

Beach club + lounge fusion

Upper deck sun lounge ideal for private dining

Forward deck with sunpads

Each deck is designed to transition seamlessly, maximizing connection with the sea.

Stability & Comfort

Fin stabilizers (underway & at anchor)

Optimized hull for hydrodynamic stability

Waterjet propulsion minimizing vibration

Even at high speeds, the yacht maintains impressive balance and comfort.
