Sanlorenzo Hits World’s First and Largest 60-Yacht Charter Milestone
Sanlorenzo has reached a significant landmark in the superyacht market, with its monobrand charter fleet now surpassing 60 yachts: the first and largest of its kind in the industry.
Launched just three years ago in partnership with Equinoxe Yachts, the fleet has grown from ten vessels to a strategically positioned collection across the Mediterranean, Caribbean, and Pacific. Most yachts are recent builds, reflecting a strong client preference for modern platforms that combine generous volume, efficient performance, and liveable layouts.
The Mediterranean remains the most popular cruising region, particularly Italy and the French Riviera, while charter analysis highlights the SD and SX lines as the most requested, led by the SD96, SX88, and SD118. For owners, chartering not only generates financial returns but also ensures vessels and crews remain at peak operational readiness.
'For over half a century, Sanlorenzo has created bespoke yachts that combine exclusivity, comfort, and contemporary design,' says Alessandro Ussi, Managing Director and Co-founder of Equinoxe. 'The integration of Equinoxe’s expertise has made it possible to offer clients a premium, turnkey service, bringing together the excellence of Italian craftsmanship with a way of experiencing the sea in complete harmony with beauty.'
Sanlorenzo’s presence is also strong in the brokerage market. Cecil Wright has been appointed Joint Central Agent, alongside Zarpo Yachts, for the sale of the 62m Sanlorenzo ALCHEMIST. Delivered in 2022, the yacht is part of the 62Steel series, featuring a five-deck layout, two pools, extensive outdoor spaces, and interior design by Officina Italiana Design.
'ALCHEMIST stands out as a pristine 62Steel with a very appealing specification and no new-build wait time,' says Luke Brennan of Cecil Wright. 'Given her age, condition, and ongoing demand for modern yachts in this size bracket, we anticipate strong interest from the global market.'
Together, the expansion of Sanlorenzo’s charter fleet and continued brokerage activity underline the shipyard’s reach across multiple market segments. From charter to sales, Sanlorenzo is demonstrating both operational scale and enduring appeal, setting contemporary standards in the high-end superyacht sector.
