Sanlorenzo – The Embodiment of Italian Style
Sanlorenzo Shipyard for Exceptional Yachts
Sanlorenzo is a well established Italian shipyard that has been crafting quality seafaring vessels for over 50 years. With utmost respect to the needs of the yacht’s future owners, Sanlorenzo is known for producing tailor-made yachts catering to individual tastes.
Timeline
The company was established in Tuscany in 1958 by Giovanni Jannetti who called it Cantieri Navali San Lorenzo. The shipyard was located in the city of Viareggio but soon became iconic throughout Tuscany and the rest of Italy. After operating for a few years the shipyard became known internationally. The launch of the innovative SL100 yacht in 1995 hailed a new era in the superyacht world and also cemented Sanlorenzo’s role in the global yachting industry. Before the turn of the century Sanlorenzo moved operations to the province of La Spezia in Liguria and became certified as an environmentally conscious company. In 2005 Giovanni Jannetti handed the reins over to Massimo Perotti, who renamed the company as Sanlorenzo Spa. Two years later a second shipyard was established, back in Viareggio. Between 2007 and today the company has launched several award-winning yachts as well as the historically profound Ameglia product range.
Designing a yacht starts at home
Every customer has their own taste and style. Sanlorenzo celebrates this individuality by carefully establishing how best to translate the customer’s unique preferences into the creation of their yachts. Taking time to observe the decisions made in designing, decorating and furnishing the customer’s home is often a great starting point. Top designers from across the globe are hired by Sanlorenzo to understand and translate the customer’s distinctive style into a quality, tailor-made yacht.
