Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo has taken the opportunity of the Venice Boat Show to unveil its first jet-powered superyacht, the SP110.

The first model of the brand new open series by Sanlorenzo, SP110 offers the best performance at the lowest
fuel consumption. The water jet propulsion ensures top efficiency and comfort at every speed range and the solar panel supplies power to run the hotel load. A new generation of yachts is born.

The hull of the SP110 has been optimised for use with hydro jet propulsion. This type of propulsion is an advantage over propeller propulsion because it is less sensitive to variations in the boat’s weight and therefore more versatile. To further optimise consumption and performance lighter materials such as laminated glass have been used for the larger surfaces. The exterior design by Zuccon International Project also sees aerodynamic lines and a colour palette more typical for sports yachts to refer to the strong emotional character of this design.

The SP110 features a two-deck layout with an eight-meter beam and “unexpected” interior volumes, according to the shipyard. Laminated glass covers 80 per cent of the boat with a deckhouse designed to accommodate solar panels that allow the yacht to sit at anchor for a few hours without the use of generators.

Sliding glass doors open aft lead to a two-storey atrium offering a view of both the upper and lower decks from the stern platform. The upper level features a lounge and dining area with sliding glass doors that open to starboard offering access to the sun lounge at the bow. Accommodation is found on the lower deck configured as an owner’s suite, two VIP cabins and a guest cabin – all equipped with en suite bathrooms – with cabins for a crew of five.

“While respecting the stylistic features that have historically characterised this type of boat, such as the aerodynamic and extremely organic surfaces, with Tilli Antonelli we arrived at a compromise to conceive a boat dialogue between dynamism and a liveability that is not normally perceived on boats of this size,” said Zuccon.
