X-Space is a new concept of superyacht, representing the pinnacle of Sanlorenzo's experience and innovation. With a length of 44m, five decks and a tonnage of 495 GT, extraordinary volumes for a yacht of this size, X-Space expands the brand's range by launching a new type of superyacht, designed for expert owners who love to explore faraway destinations, without relinquishing the unmistakable elegance of Sanlorenzo's lines. The new project a perfect synthesis of Explorer and the classic navette.
Emblematic of Sanlorenzo's understated approach is the aft area on the main deck of the X-Space, a huge multi-tasking terrace with an 18 sq. m swimming pool overlooking the sea, as if it were infinite water, which can be closed off during transfers or whilst in the marina.
An open-air living room, available to the owner and guests, that can be extended by another 18 sq. m thanks to the folding balconies and which is connected to the living area inside.
An innovative element of the X-Space is the unusual layout that brings the wheelhouse onto the bridge deck, freeing up the upper deck which is dedicated entirely to the owner.
In line with Sanlorenzo's sartorial attitude, X-Space offers an "apartment in the villa", an entire deck with maximum privacy that is independent from the other areas, it includes a study, living room and a large master cabin framed by glass walls, which enjoys the presence of nature around it and overlooks a private deck at the bow, a 30 sq. m sunbed area which includes a swimming pool.
The X-Space project is also strongly characterised by the theme of transparency, which has characterised the design of the exteriors, by Studio Zuccon International Project, and made it possible to eliminate barriers and obstacles, achieving total fusion and continuity with the interiors, designed by Piero Lissoni.
The first unit of the new model will be delivered in 2023.
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 28.60m to 62m in length.
