About Our Yacht – Sanlorenzo 82
The Sanlorenzo 82 (2020) embodies modern Italian styling and seakeeping poise. Day capacity welcomes up to 50 guests for social cruises, while eight can reside overnight in four serene cabins, framed by soft lighting and panoramic windows. A bright saloon with lounge-dining flow opens to a shaded aft deck; forward, sun pads invite quiet moments. Above, generous flybridge seating creates a convivial perch for sunset. Cruising briskly with a top around 26 knots, the yacht is equally happy gliding at slow speeds for dolphin-spotting or pressing on between anchorages.
Onboard touches include BBQ service for open-air dining, a selection of soft drinks, water and ice, and a high-touch crew who anticipate details – from chilled glassware to perfectly timed playlists. The tender, paddleboards and snorkel kits (where conditions permit) create an easy interplay between yacht and water. Safety briefings are clear and relaxed, ensuring confident first-time guests and seasoned cruisers alike.
