“Sanlorenzo didn’t just move a walkway. They rethought how a 95-footer should function. The asymmetric layout delivers real gains in volume and flow, not gimmicks. The build quality is what you expect from Sanlorenzo—vein-matched marble, custom joinery, reinforced bulkheads for artwork. The V-drive engine setup is smart. It pushes the powerplant aft, freeing up space forward without sacrificing performance. The systems integration is thorough. Spot zero water purification, proportional thrusters, automated tender garage. This is a yacht built by people who understand how boats are actually used.
This boat is for the experienced owner who has already figured out what doesn’t work on a yacht. It’s not for the buyer who wants symmetry or the one who needs to impress at the dock. The asymmetric concept requires you to think differently about layout and flow. If you’re cruising with family or close friends, the space allocation makes sense. If you’re hosting large groups or running charters, you’ll miss the traditional starboard walkway. The crew quarters are well-designed but tight for four. If you’re owner-operating with occasional crew, it’s fine. If you’re running full-time crew, make sure they understand the space constraints.
The resale data tells the story. Eight units listed between €6.4M and €10M, with an average ask of €7.9M. That’s strong for a yacht in this class. The asymmetric concept has proven itself, and buyers are paying for it. Maintenance costs are in line with other Italian builds—expect to spend 10 percent of purchase price annually if you’re running hard. Dockage in South Florida is $8K-$12K per month. Fuel burn at cruise is manageable, but if you’re running at 24 knots regularly, budget accordingly. The MTU engines are reliable, but service intervals are non-negotiable. The resale market favors well-maintained units with full service records. If you’re buying pre-owned, verify the maintenance history and budget for a full survey.
