The Sanlorenzo 52 Steel is a momentous 170.6-foot superyacht first introduced by Italian shipyard Sanlorenzo Yachts at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show. Forged by customer feedback and over half a century of experience, the 52 Steel is an al fresco-focused floating palace fit for discerning, contemporary owners and charter guests.
When it comes to luxury, Sanlorenzo has pulled out all the stops on the vessel. An illuminated glass swimming pool on the aft deck is an event unto itself, while a nearby lounge provides ample seating for guests and owners across a large settee and freestanding armchairs. Below, past the swim platform and large tender garage, is a luxurious beach club with a view of the pool above, its waves and light reflecting onto the lounge area below. Two fold-out terraces to port and starboard are the perfect place to relax in a deck chair with an espresso or something stronger.
Up on the main deck, the salon is a masterclass in contemporary design, with strong dark wood and leather contrasting with light walls, ceilings, and neutral upholstery. Large windows offer stunning views and relaxed natural light. This space is for casual, social interaction, with marble coffee tables and sofas, as well as a retractable television for nights in with a movie or two. Forward and separated by a low-profile, mirrored sideboard is a more formal dining area. Two airy hallways lead from the salon to the large starboard galley, which features two sinks, a kitchen island, four-zone cooktop, and a range of other high-spec appliances and ample storage.
The full-beam owner’s cabin can be found forward, accessed via a private office, with a centrally-located walkaround bed, a starboard chaise beneath a large window, and a long vanity to port. The en suite bathroom is also full-beam, with two sinks, a privately-accessed toilet, jacuzzi tub, and a large walk-in shower.
Below deck, guests will enjoy their choice of four cabins, from two aft VIP suites with en suite bathrooms, to two dual twin guest cabins with their own en suites as well. Forward is an extensive crew quarters with a dinette and mini-galley, captain’s cabin with en suite, two bunk cabins with en suites, and an additional smaller bunk cabin with access to a day head. The crew quarters is access separately from the main guest accommodation, enabling crew and guests to go about their business without interference. All in all, the 52 Steel sleeps up to 12 guests and 9 crew.
The upper deck is a sight for sore eyes, with tons of relaxed seating on the aft deck and two extensive lounge areas inside the skylounge. The forward wheelhouse is a spacious, separate place for the captain to man the helm among state-of-the-art navigation equipment. A nearby cabin is perfect for crew or additional guests.
Up on the sundeck, you and your guests can enjoy a spectacular meal around the enormous 12-seater dining table. Afterwards, you can unwind on the forward lounge seating, or continue your conversation on a settee as you rest your cocktail on one of the low-profile coffee tables. During the day, four sunlounger on the aft deck provide the perfect spot for soaking up the sun.
The 52 Steel is powered by two CAT engines that reach maximum speeds of 16.5 knots, with a cruising speed of 13 knots. This vessel is perfect for long-range adventures, with a range of 4,000nm at an 11-knot economic speed.
