With its high bow, elegant lines, lightness and unmistakable slender profile descending towards the stern, the SX112 delivers all the characteristics and stylistic features of the SX line, taking research into new living solutions to a higher level.
The SX112 is the flagship of the innovative SX crossover line, which has broken the mould by offering a new type of yachts. A synthesis of the classic motor yacht with a flying bridge and explorer type, the SX range is a proposal where style and functionality merge into a common language.
The design of the new crossover model was once again entrusted to the creativity of Bernardo Zuccon of the Studio Zuccon International Project for the exterior lines and Piero Lissoni for the interiors of the first unit.
A conceptual refinement of the SX88 project, this new model offers a spacious beach area of about 90 m2, which can be extended thanks to the fold-down terraces, consisting of an indoor space with a gym area directly connected to the outside through large sliding glass windows, allowing owners to enjoy these spaces in a new way, maximising the connection between indoor and outdoor.
There is a large platform where large toys can be hosted and which allows direct contact with the sea.
The SX112's design is characterised by the extensive use of glass. The innovative wheelhouse, which is located exclusively on the fly bridge, can be fully closed and air-conditioned by electrically operating windows or opened to let the sea breeze in.
The main deck saloon is also enclosed by floor-to-ceiling windows that let in natural light from all sides, increasing the sense of space and allowing the view of the sea to be enjoyed at all times, thanks also to the openings in the bulwark at the centre of the boat.
One absolute innovation on the SX112 is the position of the engine room, which for the first time has been located under the stern platform, making it possible to recover 40 m2 of space on board.
"The SX crossover range is Sanlorenzo's perfect example of profound sartorial aptitude. A line that was born from the constant dialogue between the company and its owners and that has led to the creation of a project never seen before in the yachting world, to meet the new needs of a constantly evolving market: a range of yachts that favours the use of the boat at sea, designed for true yachting enthusiasts,” says Massimo Perotti, Executive Chairman Sanlorenzo.
Sanlorenzo was founded in 1985 in Viareggio by yacht builder Gionvanni Jannetti. In 2005, Massimo Perrotti became the majority shareholder in the shipyard. Sanlorenzo builds yachts ranging from 28.60 to 62 metres in length.
