Toward superyacht scale
The SD118 sits in the upper half of Sanlorenzo's semi-displacement range, below the SD132 flagship and above the SD96. At 35.75 metres it offers genuine superyacht volume while keeping the lighter, composite construction of the Yacht Division. The SD line draws its lines from the trans-Atlantic liners of the last century, and the SD118 wears that heritage at an imposing size. It is built to individual order like the rest of the family.
For a buyer, the SD118 is a large, comfortable long-range yacht that still feels like a Sanlorenzo. It suits owners who want to cross real distances and stay aboard for long seasons. The size brings space for more guests and crew than the smaller SDs allow.
Timeless above the water
The exterior is by Zuccon International Project, drawn with the classic, gently formal SD profile stretched over a larger hull. The design balances traditional lines with a contemporary reading, favouring a soft, seaworthy shape. Large windows and broad deck spaces open the yacht to the view and the air. A generous flybridge adds a commanding outdoor room.
Deck arrangements are shaped for relaxed life at anchor, with room to lounge, dine and handle tenders and toys. The proportions stay elegant despite the volume. The look is calm and enduring, meant to hold its appeal for years. It is a design built around comfort and long, easy days at sea.
The SD118 offers superyacht volume and long range in a composite hull, with an interior by Liaigre.
Space by Liaigre
Inside, the SD118 accommodates ten guests and a crew of five. The semi-displacement hull gives generous volume, and the interior is styled by the French house Liaigre, known for a refined, understated luxury. Large windows frame the sea, and the finishes stay quiet and material-led. Owners can tailor the arrangement closely within that language.
With the volume of a boat approaching 291 GT to work with, the designers give the main deck and guest areas real breadth. The extra space shows in the size of the shared rooms as much as in the cabin count. A full-beam owner's suite and generous guest cabins make the most of the beam, and the flybridge gives the yacht a second commanding social level. It is a yacht built for extended time aboard with family and guests together. The mood is elegant and settled.
Distance in comfort
The SD118 is powered by twin MAN V12 engines, offered at around 1,400 or 1,650 hp, giving a reported top speed of about 18 to 19 knots. In keeping with the semi-displacement character, the boat is tuned for an efficient cruise and long range. Fuel is carried at around 32,000 litres, supporting genuine passages far from home. The emphasis is on distance and comfort over speed.
The hull is drawn for a soft, stable motion in a seaway, which long-range owners value above pace. Sanlorenzo keeps the engineering proven and serviceable at this scale. The larger engine option gives a little more speed for owners who want it, while the lighter one favours economy on long passages. The generous fuel capacity supports genuine ocean legs between fills. The boat is built to cover the miles in ease.
Who the SD118 suits
The SD118 suits the owner who wants superyacht volume and long range while keeping composite construction and the Sanlorenzo lineage. It is well matched to long seasons, ocean passages and larger groups aboard. Its Liaigre interior appeals to buyers who value understated, refined luxury. For those ready for a step up in scale without moving to metal, it is a strong answer.
Against other semi-displacement yachts in the mid-thirties, its case is generous volume, real range and a timeless look. For a Sanlorenzo owner it is the large, capable SD just short of the flagship SD132. It rewards those who want to travel far in comfort with a full complement aboard.
Двигатели и системы
| Engines | Twin CAT C32 diesels at 1,600-1,622 hp, or twin MAN V12s at 1,400-1,450 hp - two distinct engine suppliers offered as alternatives, not a single option with a power upgrade. |
|---|---|
| Fuel / water | About 32,000-litre fuel tank (8,454 US gallons); 1,057-gallon fresh water. |
| Range | About 3,000 nm at an economic 11-12 knot cruise, independently confirmed by both YachtBuyer's sea trial and MBY's report - a genuine long-range figure, not just a brochure number. |
| Fuel handling | A fuel-polishing centrifuge strips grit and water from the fuel in service, per YachtBuyer's tester - relevant to anyone planning the long passages the range figure is sold on. |
| Crew | Named crew counts disagree across sources: the builder's own key-spec sheet lists five, Boat International's reporting says six, and YachtBuyer's operational account of running the boat day to day says seven. None of the three is sourced as definitive - confirm with a broker before budgeting. |
| Regulatory class | At 35.75 m LOA the SD118 falls under large-yacht flag-state codes above 24 m, adding survey and crewing requirements smaller SDs do not carry. |
Что сообщают владельцы и экипажи
The cross-deck layout flows better than expected at this size
YachtBuyer's tester said the cross-boat layout "gives the deck a more natural flow than you expect", and singled out the owner's private bow terrace, reached by its own staircase, as "unusual on a yacht of this size".
YachtBuyerThe beach club's toy storage and deployment is genuinely practical
The tester noted a Williams tender, Seabobs and personal watercraft all stow with a workable deployment system rather than as show pieces.
YachtBuyerThe styling reference to 1930s ocean liners does not fully land
Motor Boat & Yachting's first-look review judged that the SD118 "may not possess quite the same level of charm" as the liners that inspired it, despite matching their capability.

Сильные стороны и что учесть
Сильные стороны
- A long-range figure that held up under an independent testRoughly 3,000 nm at 11-12 knots, confirmed separately by YachtBuyer and MBY rather than only claimed by Sanlorenzo.
- Sold well for a yacht at this size and priceMBY reported sales reaching "well into double figures" by its first-look review, and Boat International later put a firm number on it - 13 units sold with interiors by designers including Patricia Urquiola and Liaigre alongside Sanlorenzo's own Zuccon-Liaigre standard.
- The private owner's bow terrace is a genuine point of differenceIndependently flagged by YachtBuyer as unusual for the size, reached by its own dedicated staircase rather than shared circulation.
На что обратить внимание
- Running it is a seven-crew operationYachtBuyer's own account of day-to-day operation names seven crew, which is a real cost and a real regulatory step up from the smaller SDs in the range.
- System complexity adds maintenance overheadThe dumbwaiter, stabilisers and balcony mechanisms the tester highlighted as features also mean routine checks and specific parts most smaller yachts do not carry.
- The design's own reference point is its weakest comparisonMBY's own verdict is that the ocean-liner styling the yacht is sold on does not quite carry the charm of the ships it references - a criticism that only makes sense because Sanlorenzo invited the comparison.
