Sanlorenzo Yacht

What Sanlorenzo Yacht does

Sanlorenzo S.p.A. is an Italy-headquartered luxury yacht manufacturer founded in 1958 and publicly listed on Borsa Italiana (ticker SL.MI) since 2019. The company designs and builds bespoke yachts ranging from 24 to 74 meters across nine product lines — SL, SD, SX, SP, Steel, Alloy, Explorer, X-Space, and the heritage-inspired SHE — plus acquired brands Nautor Swan (sailing yachts) and Bluegame (open boats). Sanlorenzo operates six Italian shipyards and runs a fleet of approximately 25 models co-created with each owner. Reported FY2025 net revenues were EUR 960.4 million, with an 18.8% EBITDA margin and a EUR 1.002 billion net backlog.

The company's commercial model is high-touch enterprise field sales aimed at ultra-high-net-worth individuals, augmented by an owned retail showroom (London, Park Lane, opened April 2026 with Ancasta Group) and brand representatives globally. Distribution is reinforced by the 95%-owned Simpson Marine dealership across Asia-Pacific and a growing service business comprising Owner Care, Pre-Owned renewals, and Charter Fleet. Differentiation rests on made-to-measure craftsmanship, a brand identity at the intersection of architecture, design, and contemporary culture ('Tomorrow's Timeless'), and an early lead in alternative propulsion including methanol-ready architecture and hybrid systems on the 58Steel and SHE models.

Revenue is recognized on yacht delivery (long-lead project cycle) supplemented by recurring service and charter revenue. 2025 saw order intake of EUR 943 million (+16% year-over-year), with Americas revenue up 26.2%, APAC up 52.5%, and MEA up 100%, supported by the Simpson Marine acquisition. Beyond the core business, Sanlorenzo operates a cultural ecosystem (Sanlorenzo Arts, Casa Sanlorenzo Venice, Sanlorenzo Foundation) and an internal Sanlorenzo Academy training program that reinforces craft skills and Italy-EU certification.
