Sanlorenzo SX112

A crossover built by moving the engine room to the stern

The SX112 relocates its engine room beneath the stern swim platform instead of amidships, which frees roughly 40 square metres of hull volume that a conventional layout would give to machinery, and that space becomes the boat's defining feature: a beach club and aft social deck of around 90 to 92 square metres, with side terraces that fold down to the waterline. Sanlorenzo's own executive chairman and the SX112's first owner, Massimo Perotti, put the design brief in blunt terms, telling Boat International he would choose Florida and the Bahamas for the boat specifically because of the extremely low draught and the spaces that open directly onto the sea.

The SX112 sits at the top of the original three-boat SX range that opened with the SX88 at Cannes in 2017 and the SX76 in 2018, before the line grew further with the SX100 and the 2025 SX120. Exterior designer Bernardo Zuccon called the SX112 a product for those who truly love the sea, and Sanlorenzo art director Piero Lissoni, who dressed the interior, described the result more simply as a villa that floats, connecting the boat's rooms the way a building's rooms connect rather than the way a yacht's usually do.

Four pods instead of two shafts, and a genuine engineering first in glass

Every SX112 built runs four Volvo Penta IPS1350 pod drives, roughly 1,000 horsepower each, rather than the twin-shaft arrangement most yachts this size use, which is what allows the low, stern-mounted engine room in the first place. Sanlorenzo Americas CEO Marco Segato told Boat International the structural glass surrounding the gym, which adjoins the beach club with floor-to-ceiling panels, was the hardest single element to engineer on the whole build, and the finished result lets an owner work out indoors while feeling completely outside.

Reviewers reached the same top-line numbers independently: 23 knots top speed and 20 knots cruise, with quoted range figures spread from about 1,574 to 1,600 nautical miles depending on which cruise speed a given source measured against. Zero-speed fin stabilizers and a standard 55 kW generator, upgradeable to a second 70 kW unit, are specified across the sources checked, though no source named the generator manufacturer and the stern thruster's brand and output could not be confirmed either, gaps worth asking a selling broker to close in writing.

Massimo Perotti, Sanlorenzo's own executive chairman, bought the first SX112 himself and named the boat's extremely low draught and its spaces opening straight onto the sea as the exact reasons he would cruise her in the Bahamas.

A hull that is genuinely different from one owner's boat to the next

Delivered SX112 hulls sleep anywhere from 8 to 11 guests across 4 or 5 cabins, a real spread rather than a sourcing error, because Sanlorenzo sells the model semi-custom and owners have taken it in different directions: Almax, hull one, carries three full staterooms plus a convertible cabin for up to eight guests, while the charter yacht On Time sleeps 11 across five cabins. A bow Jacuzzi appeared as an option on later hulls, including hull number 120 delivered in 2024, and was not standard on the earliest boats, one of several fittings that changed as the model matured.

The same custom-build reality shows up in the published spec sheets, which disagree on draught (1.85 to 1.94 metres), fuel tankage (2,641 to 4,132 US gallons) and gross tonnage (180 to 245 GT) across different hulls and brokers, a spread this page reports rather than resolves, since the honest answer is that a buyer needs the individual hull's as-built specification, not a single model-wide number. Aquaholic reviewer Nick Burnham, walking the boat at the 2021 Cannes Yachting Festival, called it absolutely fascinating and the helm minimalist and stunning, and Robb Report's own writeup described the beach club as closer in size to a custom superyacht fifty feet longer.

What it costs to buy, and what it earns on charter

Sanlorenzo's standard list price runs close to 12.5 million euros new, while brokerage asking prices on delivered hulls have ranged from around 10.95 million to 13.95 million euros depending on age, equipment and MCA coding for commercial charter. Boat International reported the 2022-built hull Another One reduced by half a million dollars to a 12.45 million dollar asking price in a May 2026 listing, while a separate hull, La Luna, sold through Fraser Yachts in March 2026 at an asking price of 10.95 million dollars with the final sale price undisclosed, both real transactions rather than estimates.

At least five SX112 hulls are chartered commercially through YachtCharterFleet and Sanlorenzo's own charter fleet, with weekly rates from 95,000 dollars for Nectar up to 143,000 dollars for On Time and Sensa, figures that give a buyer weighing the boat against its running costs a real market benchmark even though Sanlorenzo has not published an annual operating cost estimate. No source named this page's specific build yard among Sanlorenzo's Italian facilities with certainty, and no publisher gave a firm order-to-delivery lead time for a new hull, both gaps worth raising directly with a dealer before signing.

Buying used: a young model with no defect history yet, one real maintenance item to flag

No SX112-specific defect, recall or owner complaint turned up anywhere in this research, which is expected for a design that only began delivering in 2020 and has a small total fleet, and every independent review found, from Power & Motoryacht to Robb Report, was positive without exception, worth noting plainly since boat-test journalism on yachts at this price point is often access-dependent rather than fully arm's length. The one real, transferable maintenance item comes from the drivetrain rather than the hull: Volvo Penta IPS pod seals are a known wear point industry-wide, with shaft and gearbox seals recommended for replacement around 500 to 1,000 hours and again at 3,000 hours, and a failed seal can let water into the pod and damage the gearbox's clutch plates.

Because the SX112 is a 2020-or-later design, it should already carry the newer, more durable steel seal hardware rather than the softer bronze seals that caused problems on older IPS installations, but a buyer should still ask for the specific hull's pod service records rather than assume. Sanlorenzo's broader reputation, built on deliberately limiting production to around 60 yachts a year across the whole range, is cited repeatedly by trade press as a reason resale values hold up, though that is a brand-wide claim rather than SX112-specific data.

Para quién es: A buyer who wants a genuine indoor-outdoor beach club at superyacht scale, pod-drive handling and shallow-draught access to the Bahamas or similar cruising grounds over a conventional flybridge layout, and who is comfortable that Sanlorenzo builds each hull semi-custom, meaning the exact draught, tankage and guest count come from the individual boat's specification, not a single model-wide sheet.
