Sanlorenzo SX76

The compact crossover

The SX76 anchors the lower end of Sanlorenzo's SX line, the crossover family that blurs the line between an open explorer and a formal flybridge yacht. At 23.7 metres it is the entry to the range, below the SX88, SX100 and the SX120 flagship. The crossover format opens up the deck spaces, so a single main deck can serve as a beach house at anchor. The SX76 brings that thinking to a size a private owner can handle with a light crew.

Built in composite by the Yacht Division and made to order, each SX76 reflects its owner's brief. Its role is the accessible, hands-on crossover, big on social space for its length. It suits owners who want the SX character without stepping up in size or crew.

Open to the sea

The exterior is by Bernardo Zuccon, drawn with the low, purposeful profile that gives the SX boats their explorer feel. The layout opens the main deck and the aft areas so the tender garage and side spaces feed into the living areas. The result is far more usable square footage than the length alone would suggest. Large glazing keeps the interior bright and connected to the water.

The single main deck can be arranged for open-plan use, with the galley and living spaces flowing together. The connection to the sea at the stern is central to the design, turning the aft into a gathering place at anchor. Owners can choose how formal or how relaxed the arrangement should be. The whole boat is drawn around life outdoors.

The SX76 is the crossover at its most personal, an open beach-house main deck a crew of two can run.

A bright, open interior

Inside, the SX76 accommodates eight guests and a crew of two, a balance that keeps the boat personal and easy to run. The crossover layout spends its space on the main-deck living areas, which feel open and full of daylight. Interiors follow the calm, material-led style set by Piero Lissoni, described by the yard as a luminous calm. Owners tailor the finish within that language.

The plan keeps the main deck as one flexible, social space, with cabins arranged to make the most of the beam. The emphasis is on the shared areas where owners spend their days. It is a boat built for informal, sun-filled cruising. Light and openness are its quiet luxuries.

Efficient and easy

The SX76 is driven by twin Volvo Penta IPS pod units of around 900 hp each, a choice that keeps the machinery compact and frees up interior volume. Pod drives also make the boat easy to handle and quiet at the helm. The reported top speed is about 22 knots, placing the SX76 as a comfortable cruiser suited to its relaxed character. Fuel is carried at around 4,350 litres.

The compact pod package is part of what lets a crew of two run the boat, since docking and manoeuvring are straightforward. Sanlorenzo keeps the engineering proven and serviceable. The semi-displacement hull gives a smooth ride at cruising speed. It is a package built around ease of use as much as performance.

Who the SX76 suits

The SX76 suits the owner who wants the open, social feel of the crossover format in a boat they can run closely with a light crew. It is well matched to relaxed family cruising, with the main deck as a beach house at anchor. Its small crew count keeps running costs sensible for the size. For a buyer drawn to the SX idea at the friendliest scale, it is the natural start.

Against other compact motor yachts near this length, its case is the open crossover main deck and the connection to the sea. For a Sanlorenzo owner it is the accessible door into the SX line, and a natural first step before the larger SX88 or SX100. It rewards those who value informal days on the water.

The used SX76 market: what a resale buyer actually gets

Sanlorenzo had already sold eight SX76 units at the model's Cannes Yachting Festival launch in September 2018, a full year before the first hull was delivered, per Boat International, so the line started with a backlog rather than a slow ramp-up. The first deliveries followed in 2019, then 2020 and on through at least 2023, with the model still in active production. That leaves a fairly small but steady resale pool: brokerage sites typically show somewhere between 7 and 10 pre-owned SX76s listed worldwide at any one time, spanning 2019 to 2026 build years. Asking prices on those used listings run from around 3.85 million euros for a 2021 hull up to 5.1 to 5.9 million euros for 2025 and 2026 boats, with the broader market average sitting near 5.3 to 5.4 million euros. A near-new example can appear with startlingly light use, one 2025 hull was listed with only 360 engine hours, effectively a turn-key boat rather than a broken-in one, and priced accordingly at the top of the range.

The spec sheet is not uniform across hulls, which matters more on a used SX76 than the brochure suggests. Cabin count varies by owner order, with two, three and four cabin layouts all having been built, so a buyer comparing two similarly priced hulls may be comparing genuinely different boats below deck. Engine power is not fixed either, an earlier hull turned up on the market with lower-power Volvo Penta units where boats from 2023 onward are more commonly specified with the current 900hp units, a real echo of the engine-option shift noted above and worth confirming against the engine plate rather than the listing headline. The beach club shows up on most but not all used listings, so it should be treated as a line to verify rather than assumed standard. None of the listings surveyed disclosed engine hours as a matter of course, so a pre-purchase survey and a direct hour-meter check matter more here than on a model with a longer, more standardised used market.

Who it is for: An owner who wants the open crossover main deck in a boat a light crew can run themselves.
