Crossover, scaled up

The SX100 sits high in Sanlorenzo's SX line, above the SX76 and SX88 and below the SX120 flagship. Introduced in 2023, it takes the crossover format to a size where the volumes start to feel like a superyacht. The idea stays the same, an open explorer married to luxury finish, but the extra length brings more space and reach. It is built in composite by the Yacht Division to individual order.

For a buyer, the SX100 is the crossover for those who want real scale without leaving the type. It suits longer stays at anchor and larger groups aboard than the smaller SX boats allow. Its place in the line is the confident upper-middle choice.

A larger open deck

The exterior is by Bernardo Zuccon, drawn with the crossover's low, explorer-inspired profile over a longer hull. The layout opens the main deck and aft spaces so the tender garage and side terraces feed into the living areas. The extra length gives the designers more room for large, connected deck spaces. Broad glazing keeps the interior bright and tied to the sea.

The main deck can be arranged open-plan for relaxed use, with the beach area at the stern turning the aft into a gathering place at anchor. Terraces widen the usable space when the boat is still, and the larger tender garage adds real capability for toys and a proper chase boat. The proportions stay clean and purposeful despite the size. The whole design is built around social life outdoors, drawn to keep guests close to the water.

The SX100 scales the open crossover deck up toward superyacht volume, just short of the SX flagship.

Volume and light

Inside, the SX100 accommodates eight guests and a crew of five. The crossover layout spends its space on generous main-deck living areas, which feel open and full of daylight. Interiors follow the calm, material-led style of Piero Lissoni's direction, where the views do much of the work. Owners can tailor the arrangement and finish closely.

The larger hull allows more separation between owner, guest and crew spaces than the smaller SX boats manage. The main deck stays the social heart, opening to the sea at the stern. A full-beam owner's cabin and larger guest quarters make the most of the extra volume below. It is a boat built for longer stays aboard with family and guests. The sense of connected volume is its clearest reward.

Four pods, easy reach

The SX100 is driven by four Volvo Penta D13 IPS pod units of around 800 hp each, a layout that keeps the machinery compact and frees interior volume. The quad-pod arrangement gives good speed and easy handling for a boat of this size. The reported top speed is about 23 knots, suiting the relaxed crossover character. Fuel is carried at around 15,800 litres to support real cruising.

Pod drives improve manoeuvrability and lower noise at the helm, which matters on a boat meant for long stays aboard. Sanlorenzo keeps the engineering proven and serviceable at this scale. The hull gives a smooth, comfortable ride at cruising speed. It is a package built around real cruising over headline pace.

Who the SX100 suits

The SX100 suits the owner who wants the open crossover format at genuine scale, with room for longer stays and larger groups. It is well matched to family cruising and extended time at anchor, with more space and separation than the smaller SX boats offer. For a buyer moving up within the range, it is the step just short of the flagship. It gives near-superyacht volume in the crossover type.

Against explorer yachts and large open motor yachts near thirty metres, its case is the connected main deck and the informal, flexible layout. For a Sanlorenzo owner it is the upper-middle of the SX line, the natural move up from the SX88. It rewards those who want space and the crossover feel together.

Who it is for: An owner who wants the open crossover format at genuine scale for longer stays and larger groups.
