With 30+ yachts from 72 to 151 feet (22.78 to 46 meters, respectively) delivered each year, Sanlorenzo has a size that suits nearly every buyer. “Nearly” wasn’t quite enough, though; witness the introduction of the all-fiberglass Sanlorenzo SD112. She pairs well with the SD92 and SD126, for starters. More noteworthy, she offers owners three full decks in a length dominated by two-level yachts. And, as per Sanlorenzo tradition, she welcomes owner input inside. The Central American owner of the simply christened O, hull number one of the series, took full advantage of that. In fact, most conversations this experienced buyer started with the Sanlorenzo of the Americas office during the build reportedly started with, “I was thinking…”

While fold-down balconies to each side of the SD112 are standard, O has an unusual saloon. First, there’s no dining area carved out of some of the floorspace—though dining does take place here. An artist hired by the owner of O crafted sliding stone-faced panels you see next to the TV. They conceal the TV when not in use and a special stowage compartment, to starboard, for a table. That table gets set up between the facing settees. Though tough to see, the backs of the settees are wedges that can also be pushed back to the edges of the cushions, for when guests want to watch TV.
Many megayachts sold stateside in this size range feature country kitchens fully forward. O has the master suite here, while still preserving a main-deck galley. Ports to three sides bring in plenty of light. The suite benefits from a private alfresco area, too. Though not visible, the same stone seen in the saloon lines sliding doors in the entry to the master as well, concealing the head. When the doors are closed, there’s no hint of anything other than a solid wall here.
Some raised-pilothouse megayachts in this size range also have skylounges, but none arguably like the one aboard O. It’s full beam (25 feet, or 7.66 meters), characterized by plentiful walnut wood, even overhead, and cream-tone lacquered panels. The ports to each side do seem narrower than those of comparable yachts these days, but O doesn’t appear to suffer.
The eight to 10 guests who can join the owner of O aboard will surely spend a lot of time on the main aft deck. Check out the terrific bar, complete with glass stowage, built into the starboard-side superstructure. It’s adjacent to a built-in icemaker. They’re further proof that Sanlorenzo doesn’t limit client input to pillows and the like, and that the owner of O had grand ideas.
The flying bridge of a 112-footer can get awfully crowded when a hot tub, sunpads, a second helm, and seating are put in place. However, the way O is arranged, the deck is cozy. Note the B&G instruments mounted into the mast. Similar units are also above the TV at the alfresco area just outside the skylounge.
The captain of O says the owner put an astounding 4,000 miles under her hull in her first season of Med cruising. He’s been pleased with the yacht’s performance thus far, saying, “It’s a good sea boat.” He adds that cruising between 12 and 14 knots seems best, though pulling back on the twin MTUs to 10 to 12 knots provides good range. Sanlorenzo says best range comes at 11 knots: 2,750 nautical miles.
With two additional SD112s delivered this summer, among six ordered so far, Sanlorenzo is finding niches and filling them. The SD series should see about 30 units delivered by year’s end. Add to that the SL range, then next year’s debut of the 460Exp, a steel-hulled expedition yacht. Doesn’t leave much unaddressed…though something tells us Sanlorenzo will find yet another solution.
