The largest Sanlorenzo Superyacht Division project to date, the 72 Steel, will be in her owners’ hands in a little more than three years. Further notable, the delivery of this 236-footer (72-meter) will take place nearly 20 years after the hand-over of the first metal megayacht from the Italian shipyard.
The 236-footer (72-meter) comes from the Zuccon International Project studio. The designers have collaborated with Sanlorenzo on several models, both metal and fiberglass. Styling-wise, the 72 Steel shares several profile features with the shipyard’s smaller steel and aluminum projects, like the 57 Steel and the 52 Steel. Naturally, Zuccon International Project is involved in those, too. “With my team, we have designed the external lines with the precise intention of keeping the DNA of Sanlorenzo visible,” says Bernardo Zuccon of the 72 Steel.
With an impressive volume of 1,850 gross tons, the new megayacht has five decks. The owners will personalize them with an unnamed designer. They have an entire deck to themselves, directly above the bridge deck. All of their friends and family, meanwhile, have staterooms along the main deck, a total of five. These staterooms are in proximity to the main saloon, too. For pampering, meanwhile, the 72 Steel includes a wellness area.
No other details are available about this particular yacht’s design and layout at this point. However, Sanlorenzo does say that the 72 Steel features diesel-electric propulsion, to reduce emissions. Her size, as well as her more environmentally minded propulsion system, mean “the 72 Steel is aiming to become one of the new protagonists of the Sanlorenzo range,” according to Antonio Santella, new product development director of Sanlorenzo’s Superyacht Division.
In related news, the sale of this project brings the Superyacht Division new-contracts total this year to 15. They include, for example, two 62 Steel projects. Additionally, Sanlorenzo has delivered 39 metal megayachts since 2007.
