The Sanlorenzo SP110: Three Engines and a Room With Height
Sanlorenzo's first open coupé: 108'3", three MAN V12s on hydrojets for a published 39 knots, and a multi-level interior Piero Lissoni built …

Performance, perfected
If you want speed without the compromises that usually come attached, the SP line is Sanlorenzo's argument. The yard calls it Smart Performance, and describes it as redefining the sports yacht segment by uniting thrilling speed with comfort at every pace.
What makes it smart rather than simply powerful is the engineering underneath: waterjet propulsion with dynamic trim control, lightweight composite construction, and integrated solar panels — Sanlorenzo's own list. On the SP92 the result is 38 to 40 knots from two engines. The SP110 takes the same thinking up to 33 metres and uses three MAN V12s to reach 39.
Sanlorenzo builds two SP models, the SP92 and the SP110, and we have reviewed both — from 91'10" to 108'3".

Smart Performance: waterjet propulsion, dynamic trim control and integrated solar on a 91'10" hull, with MAN V12 power for a published 38 or 40 knots.
Sanlorenzo's first open: 108'3", three MAN V12s on hydrojets, a published 39 knots, five crew aboard.

Moving Up the SP Series
SP92 — 91'10", 8 guests / 4 crew. Two published engine packages with a speed for each: twin MAN V12 at 2,000 HP for 38 knots, or twin MAN 12V at 2,200 HP for 40 knots. Waterjet propulsion, 8,500 litres of fuel, and interiors across four levels.
SP110 — 108'3", 39 knots, 6-8 guests / 5 crew. Three MAN V12s at 2,000 HP each driving hydrojets, 12,000 litres of fuel and 1,850 litres of fresh water on a 26'11" beam. Sanlorenzo's own description of it is "our first open", and it is where the line's lightweight-hull-plus-jets formula is stretched to a 33-metre boat.
The two SP models are not simply a small one and a large one, and the engine count is the tell. The SP92 gets 38 or 40 knots out of two MANs on 8,500 litres. The SP110 needs three to reach 39 on sixteen more feet of hull, and carries 12,000 litres to feed them. Going up this line adds a crew berth and an entire engine to service; what it does not add is speed.
Our Take
The SP line is the most interesting engineering in the Sanlorenzo range, and the waterjets are why. Jets change everything about how a boat behaves at low speed and everything about the maintenance conversation — different intervals, different specialists, different failure modes from shafts and props. Neither better nor worse than running gear, but genuinely different, and you should understand which you are buying.
The solar panels are the detail that tells you Sanlorenzo meant the word "smart". Integrated solar on a 40-knot sports yacht is not going to move the boat. It reduces what the generators have to do at anchor, which is where a yacht like this actually spends its time between fast passages.
The SP110's third jet is the decision I would want explained to me properly before I signed anything. Three MAN V12s on a 33-metre boat is a great deal of machinery, and every one of them is a service interval, a spares list and a specialist to find in whatever port you break down in. What it buys is 39 knots and a lot of thrust in reserve on a hull that has more boat to push than the SP92 does. Whether that trade suits you depends entirely on how often you genuinely run at the top of the range — and most owners answer that honestly only after they have owned one. If the answer is "rarely", the SP92 is the cleverer boat.
The number to make a written condition is the draft. Waterjets do generally allow a shallower installation and that may well be a real advantage here — but if the anchorages you have in mind depend on it, take the figure from the build specification for your hull and make it a condition rather than an assumption.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the draft of the Sanlorenzo SP92?
Draft belongs to the build specification for the specific hull. Waterjets generally allow a shallower installation than shafts and propellers, so a modest figure is plausible for the SP92 — but if shallow-water access is part of why you are buying the boat, get the number from the build specification in writing and make it a condition of the purchase rather than an assumption.
Why does the Sanlorenzo SP92 use waterjets?
Waterjet propulsion is central to what Sanlorenzo calls its Smart Performance concept. Combined with dynamic trim control, lightweight composite construction and integrated solar panels, it lets the SP92 reach a published 38 to 40 knots without the horsepower competitors need for similar speed. Jets also change low-speed handling and generally allow a shallower installation than shafts and propellers. They bring a different maintenance regime: less frequent attention than running gear, but more specialised when it is needed.
