Sanlorenzo presents the SX120 project, the largest-ever yacht in the Italian SX crossover range, which debuted in 2017 with the SX88 heralding a pioneering new product concept breaking the mould of traditional yachting. A synthesis between the classic motor yacht with flying bridge and the explorer range, the SX line is designed to efficiently and harmoniously integrate style, adaptability and functionality, transforming sailing and life on board into a new and engaging experience. Consistent with the stylistic features of the range, the SX120 is distinguished by its sleek, sporty lines and its wide on-board spaces, in constant dialogue with the external environment. A 270 Gross Tonnage of volume and 37 meters in length, the SX120 is the largest vessel built according to the brand revolutionary SX concept. Once again Sanlorenzo presents the perfect conceptual and formal balance between the yacht's exteriors and interiors stems with the collaboration of Zuccon International Project and Piero Lissoni, who enhance with their usual elegance and mastery all the potential of this yacht with its essential and sophisticated design. The SX120 represents Sanlorenzo’s commitment to both product evolution and innovation, as the first composite yacht to feature the pioneering new Volvo IPS Professional Platform, a project first presented in the Düsseldorf 2024 boat show. The innovative system IPS Volvo Professional Platform uses twin 1000 HP engines per pod, delivering the performance of larger engines with a smaller footprint, reduced fuel consumption, and lower emissions. Its introduction is fully aligned with Sanlorenzo's pathway to reducing environmental impact, commitment and promotion of sustainability in the nautical sector with the SX120 also equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction exhaust system. The Sanlorenzo SX line has also been about fusing pioneering technology with cutting-edge nautical design, with this coming SX120 headlined this by an inspiring forty sqm beach area which with opening side decks becomes seventy square meters in size, a full circle panoramic view from the Upper Deck, a Sun Deck with configurable Smart Island. The beach area, moreover, offers her owners the flexibility of a retractable swimming pool, which can be covered or uncovered through a lift and slide mechanism of the sundeck to ensure aesthetic usability, privacy, and safety in navigation. Articulated on four decks, the SX120 is characterized by a total rethinking of space, characterized by the displacement of volumes to the bow and an impressive aft cockpit, completely dedicated to bathing activities. A few steps connect the beach area with a large, cosy and bright lounge, an ideal continuation of the outdoor space. The Lower Deck also houses four guest cabins, one of which can be kept open as a lounge or closed to convert it into a cabin, a small hammam and the crew area. The generous aft spaces aboard the SX120 represent the tangible result of a technological evolution that aims to redesign the standards of contemporary yachting. Moving up to the Main Deck, guests' attention is drawn to a vast saloon, enveloped in natural light thanks to the large windows, where a magnificent sculptural wooden staircase, clad externally in steel, bears the unmistakable signature of Piero Lissoni. Inserted in the center of the boat, it is an element that adds value to the environment, and at the same time a functional solution that allows a fluid connection between the decks. The Main Deck also houses, aft, a dining area open on three sides, which can accommodate up to fourteen guests and from which the salon is accessed through the transparencies of a large window. The positioning of the guest cabins in the Lower Deck made it possible to devote the forward part of this deck completely to the bright master bedroom with a sea view, which enjoys direct access to a space in the bow, an area that can be equipped as a sundeck or a patio, with a coffee table and an outdoor lounge. This layout, typical of large yachts, is made possible here by the redistribution of space. Climbing the elegant staircase leads to the Upper Deck, which immediately surprises the guest with an amazing 360-degree view open to the horizon. The spacious interior is designed with great flexibility to become a dining area, media room or play room at the owner's request. The Upper Deck then opens onto a cosy lounge overlooking the sea, connected via an external staircase to one of SX120's most original innovations: the Flybridge, which, for the first time on this type of yacht, is transformed into an elegant Sun Deck. A new concept was introduced here, the Smart Island, a modular seating system that can be freely configured and equipped with additional features. A reserved, almost hidden space, in which to enjoy maximum privacy. In its interior design, the SX120 reflects sophisticated material research and special attention to detail, a distinctive stylistic feature of the work of Piero Lissoni, who designed the interiors of the first unit. Throughout the vessel, the ceilings are punctuated by refined wooden quills, a series of dense cusps that continue vertically along the walls, creating an architectural effect of continuity and depth. Some vertical inserts, on the other hand, have been treated with a steel-effect film, giving the rooms a contemporary feel. The floors elegantly alternate between parquet and carpet, while in the bathrooms a marble-effect ceramic material was chosen, combining aesthetics and functionality. In the master stateroom, characterized by more intense tones and a slightly higher ceiling, there is a distinctive element of great impact: the backlit headboard, designed as a decorative screen, which discreetly separates the bed area from the closet area, ensuring comfort and intimacy in a refined design environment.
