Sanlorenzo Yachts are truly one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Each is custom-built to the owner's needs, defining the epitome of luxury. Sanlorenzo Yachts has limited its yacht production so that none of the nearly 1,000 Sanlorenzos launched have been built with the same design. Although the brand has continued to grow and build more yachts annually, it previously aimed to launch about 50 yachts a year.

Yachts produced at Sanlorenzo fall into several categories: composite yachts ranging from 24 to 38 meters are under the yacht division; aluminum and steel yachts between 40 to 68 meters fall under the superyacht division; and the 13 to 22-meter composite yachts are manufactured in the sport-utility Bluegame division.
With a business start in Limite Sull’Arno in Italy’s Tuscan region in 1958, Sanlorenzo Yachts has grown to facilities located in four shipyards in Italy, which has greatly improved the annual number of available Sanlorenzo yachts for sale. Company headquarters are located in Ameglia, superyachts are built in the La Spezia shipyard, with two more facilities in Viareggio and Massa.
In 1974 Giovanni Jannetti acquired the majority of the Sanlorenzo company and elevated the concept of customization. He transitioned the company from wooden boat building into the fiberglass era and highlighted the individuality of each yacht and limited annual production. In 2005, Massimo Perotti, the company’s executive chairman, became the majority shareholder in the company.
To meet design and build needs across the Atlantic Ocean, the company opened Sanlorenzo Americas. That team includes classically trained designer Marty Lowe and Italian-born project engineer Fabrizio Loi of Inter Yachting. Although tailor-made, Sanlorenzo yachts can include luxury lighting brand Artemide, kitchen designs from Boffi, and furniture from Minotti and Flexform.
Luca Santella was a champion Olympic sailor who designed unique sailboats including the Luja 55. He eventually enlisted naval engineer Louis T. Codega to work with him and they developed the Bluegame 47. In 2018, the company became part of the Sanlorenzo group.
