Sanlorenzo 74Steel: A flagship where strength becomes serenity, scale creates space, and structure meets soul
At 74 metres and around 1,900 GT, the new flagship becomes an instant icon of the Italian Maison, delivering the advanced technology, bespoke personalisation, and discreet grace for which Sanlorenzo yachts are renowned, but on a new and ambitious scale.
Developed on a pre-engineered technical platform, the 74Steel provides innovation and uncompromising design in abundance, becoming the new flagship for the yard. It embodies Sanlorenzo’s time-honoured commitment to craftsmanship, innovation and made-to-measure yachting, enabling owners to shape their vessel into an intimately personal work of art without compromising structural integrity or engineering excellence.
With three hulls sold and a fourth under negotiation before the first even touches the water, the owners of subsequent launches have curated unique interiors, customised layouts, and even different bow configurations. Although the platform is engineered to 72 meters LOA, all the current orders are of slightly different length depending on the bow shape. Moreover, the first two units have a diesel-electric propulsion system, the third has conventional in line shaft-propulsion. This flexible approach ensures that each yacht can evolve with the owner’s needs, while maintaining a tried-and-tested framework.
Exterior Design: Architectural calm on an unprecedented scale
The exterior lines by Zuccon International Project represent a bold evolution of the design language the Rome-based studio has brought to Sanlorenzo, merging sinuous, soft forms with strength and elegance in timeless harmony. Key elements, such as the vertical bow and dynamic stern for the first unit, enhance both the yacht’s aesthetic and its functional relationship with the sea.
Interior Design: An owner-centric approach, designed from the inside-out
Every line, every volume, and every spatial transition was crafted with the owner’s experience in mind. From the dedicated owner's deck to light-filled salons and seamless sightlines, architecture defines the way life unfolds onboard.
The interior design of the first unit, by Francesco Paszkowski in collaboration with Margherita Casprini, reflects the sculpted forms of the exterior. In particular, the furniture pieces are characterised by pronounced curves, and the design is complemented by rugs with sinuous shapes that help define spaces in a non-traditional manner.
Technical Excellence
A key element of the first 74Steel is its diesel-electric system. This diesel-electric propulsion setup provides more freedom in terms of layout, making it possible to repurpose technical spaces for recreational areas. This is especially evident in the expansive beach club and spa areas, which are significantly larger than those on a conventional yacht of similar size.
Engineered in-house in collaboration with Siemens Energy to maximise efficiency while ensuring reliability, the propulsion system itself relies on six variable-speed Volvo Penta – Mase generators driving twin Schottel E-Pods of 1,000kW each. The hybrid setup includes water-cooled LEHMANN COBRA battery systems employing inherently safe lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell technology that offer a combined 1.5 MWh capacity.
