Fully Operational
Proven Italian Flybridge Yacht with Timeless Appeal
The 1994 Sanlorenzo 72 is a classic example of Italian yacht craftsmanship, blending refined style, robust engineering and a highly practical flybridge layout. Measuring approximately 21.2 metres in length with a 5.60-metre beam and 1.90-metre draft, this GRP-hull yacht offers a solid 60-ton displacement that translates into smooth, confident cruising and excellent stability at sea. Her hull and superstructure are constructed in GRP, ensuring durability, reduced maintenance demands and quiet operation underway. The flybridge configuration enhances visibility and increases the external living areas, creating inviting open-air spaces for relaxation and entertaining. Currently based in Hong Kong and carefully preserved for functionality and comfort, she represents an attractive opportunity for buyers seeking a proven model from a prestigious yard with a layout well suited to family cruising, extended voyages or private use with occasional guests.
Performance, Propulsion and Range
Powered by twin MAN diesel engines rated at 1,100 HP each, the Sanlorenzo 72 delivers a cruising speed of approximately 22 knots and a maximum speed around 28 knots. This performance profile ensures swift passage-making between destinations while maintaining efficient fuel consumption suitable for regional and medium-range itineraries. The engines show around 2,000 hours of use, a balanced figure for a yacht of this age and calibre. Shaft-drive propulsion provides robust and reliable power delivery, straightforward maintenance and long-term mechanical resilience, making it an appealing configuration for experienced and first-time owners alike. A 14 kW generator with only 36 hours of operation supports onboard hotel loads at anchor and during stays away from shore power, supplying energy for climate control, galley equipment, entertainment and domestic systems. With a fuel capacity of approximately 5,000 litres and fresh water capacity of 1,500 litres, the yacht offers strong autonomy for weekends away, multi-day trips or extended coastal cruising.
Technical Systems, Comfort and Handling
The yachtâs technical backbone is designed to support reliable operations and comfortable living. Essential systems include air conditioning throughout the interior, shore power connectivity, a battery charger and a well-arranged bank of service batteries. A water maker further increases independence from shore facilities, allowing longer periods at anchor with full access to fresh water. Navigation and safety are enhanced by GPS, autopilot, VHF, compass, stabilizers and heel repeater, which together provide situational awareness, reduced motion and easier handling for the captain. The stabilizer system offers significant comfort improvements both underway and at anchor, making life more pleasant for guests who may be sensitive to motion. Combined, these systems ensure that the Sanlorenzo 72 remains an enjoyable and confidence-inspiring yacht to operate in a variety of coastal and offshore conditions.
Elegant Interior with En-Suite Guest Accommodation
Inside, the Sanlorenzo 72 presents a warm, contemporary ambience characterised by light woodwork, soft furnishings and an airy layout. The main salon is arranged as a comfortable social space, featuring a large blue leather sofa, coffee table and integrated entertainment systems to create a welcoming environment for family and guests. Forward, the formal dining area provides an elegant setting for shared meals and hosting, while large side windows bring in abundant natural light and are complemented by neutral Roman blinds that preserve privacy when required without detracting from the yachtâs refined interior style. On the lower deck, six guests are accommodated across three en-suite cabins, each with its own private bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience during extended stays. The layout is ideal for families or groups of friends, with each cabin benefiting from thoughtful storage and well-finished detailing.
Well-Equipped Galley and Practical Crew Arrangement
The galley is fully equipped for extended cruising and onboard living, featuring a stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, fridge, freezer and ice maker. This comprehensive equipment suite enables full meal preparation and provisioning for longer itineraries without dependence on shore-side restaurants. Two crew cabins provide accommodation for up to four crew members, together with a dedicated crew head, allowing the yacht to be operated professionally with discreet, efficient service. This separation of guest and crew areas ensures privacy for owners and guests while supporting smooth daily running of the yacht, housekeeping and hospitality.
Outdoor Deck Spaces and On-Water Living
Externally, the yacht offers a range of attractive spaces for alfresco enjoyment and water access. Teak-laid decks add a touch of classic yachting elegance while providing secure footing. A spacious sundeck and flybridge create ideal areas for sunbathing, casual dining and enjoying panoramic views while underway or at anchor. The cockpit is equipped with a table for outdoor meals or drinks, and the aft area flows naturally down to the swimming platform, which together with a swimming ladder ensures easy entry and exit from the sea. Features such as a bimini top provide shade options, while the davit facilitates tender handling and stowage of water toys or small auxiliary craft. These exterior amenities come together to create a versatile environment suited to relaxed family cruising, entertaining guests or quiet weekends on board.
Attractive Opportunity with Long-Term Ownership Potential
Overall, this Sanlorenzo 72 combines proven construction quality, reliable systems, a practical yet elegant layout and a desirable cruising profile that remains highly relevant today. Her location in Hong Kong facilitates inspections, surveys and sea trials, giving prospective buyers the chance to fully evaluate her condition and performance. With a strong technical base, full galley, comprehensive navigation electronics, stabilizers, generator and well-thought-out interior and exterior spaces, she is well positioned to serve as a private family yacht, a long-distance cruiser or a platform with future charter potential.
