Sanlorenzo S.p.a. (or Sanlorenzo) is an Italian shipbuilding specialised in the production of luxury yachts and superyachts, from 24 to 70 meters in length, whose headquarters is based in Ameglia, province of La Spezia. For over 60 years, Sanlorenzo has been operating in the yachting industry by building a limited number of made-to-measure boats a year.

Founded in 1958 by Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia who opened the first shipyard near Florence, Sanlorenzo was taken over in 1972 by Giovanni Jannetti who launched the first fiberglass hull boat in 1985 and moved the headquarters to Ameglia (SP) in 1999. In 2005, Massimo Perotti, the actual Executive Chairman, took the baton.

Based in Italy with four production plants in Ameglia, La Spezia, Viareggio and Massa, it operates worldwide through its brand representatives.

2020 Global Order Book by Boat International, published on the 17th of December 2019, places Sanlorenzo on the second place worldwide, appointing the Company as “the most prolific single-brand builder in the world”, given its 87 projects in the 2019, up by 13% over 2018.[1]

Sanlorenzo Group employs in July 2020 approximately 500 people and cooperates with a network of 1.500 qualified craft enterprises and artisans.

History

Foundation and development

Sanlorenzo was founded in 1958 by Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia in Limite sull’Arno, near Florence, a small city known worldwide as the cradle of Italian shipbuilding. in 1972 Giovanni Jannetti takes over the company and opens the Viareggio shipyard. Under the leadership of Jannetti, Sanlorenzo becomes one of the most representative Italian yachting brands. In 1985 the Company, whose name was Cantieri Navali Sanlorenzo, launches the first fiberglass yacht - the SL57 model. In 1995 Sanlorenzo enters another era with the creation of the superyacht sector, with the launch of the first SL100 model.  

In 1999 Sanlorenzo moves its operations in Ameglia (SP) and acquires ISO 14001 certification that proves that the production of Sanlorenzo meets requirements of management systems and production processes that protect the environment.

Sanlorenzo under the new management

2005 sees Massimo Perotti, actual Executive Chairman, acquiring the majority shareholding of Cantieri Navali Sanlorenzo Spa from Giovanni Jannetti and renaming the company Sanlorenzo Spa, as it is called today.

In 2007 Viareggio shipyard opens with the purpose of hosting the production of fiberglass yachts with a length of over 30 meters. The same year also sees the launch of the SD92 and the 40Alloy yachts, both awarded at the Show Boat Design Awards and World Superyacht Awards.

In 2010 Sanlorenzo launches 46Steel, the first displacement superyacht made of steel, and in 2011 SL94 is born, a boat that wins the “Boat of the Year” award. It is 2011 that sees Sanlorenzo for the first time, ranking third worldwide among shipyards producing yachts over 24 meters.

Sanlorenzo launches in 2013 the SL118, a yacht that became the flagship of Sanlorenzo’s fiberglass range, while 2015 sees the launch of the 460Exp and the SL86.

In 2016 came the decision to purchase the production site at La Spezia, home of Sanlorenzo Superyachts, and the opening of a research and development center for the creation of new models in Massa.

2018 sees Bluegame, specialising in design and production of sport utility yacht, entering Sanlorenzo Group shareholdings.
