Sanlorenzo launches second 50Steel, advancing the legacy of a superyacht uniting sustainable exploration and elegance

 Sanlorenzo today celebrates the launch of the second unit of its revolutionary 50Steel, further consolidating the model’s position as one of the most forward-thinking concepts in the contemporary superyacht landscape. With five units now fully allocated to clients, 50Steel has rapidly established itself as a reference point in the superyacht market below 500 GT.

The 50Steel traces its origins back to Almax, a landmark yacht that marked a true turning point for the industry. With her launch and delivery in Summer 2024, Sanlorenzo reaffirmed its pioneering spirit through a breakthrough approach to onboard energy: a green-methanol fuel-cell system converting methanol into hydrogen and then electricity to support hotel loads. A milestone that strengthened Sanlorenzo’s position not as a follower of trends, but as a shipyard capable of shaping them.

A key element of continuity across the 50Steel models is Sanlorenzo’s patented Hidden Engine Room (HER) system: a truly revolutionary layout concept redefining onboard space while keeping displacement under 500 GT. By re-engineering the engine room, the traditional two-level configuration gives way to a horizontal arrangement of the propulsion systems and a new distribution of technical areas in the under lower deck. This unlocks valuable volume on the lower deck, enabling the creation of an additional guest-focused lounge.

Fine moduloLaunched today from Sanlorenzo’s Superyacht Shipyard in La Spezia, Italy, the second unit combines the strong architectural identity sculpted by Zuccon International Project with interiors developed by Sanlorenzo’s renowned Style Department. The result provides a superyacht pairing a highly bespoke sense of space, atmosphere and comfort.

“The 50Steel line perfectly expresses Sanlorenzo’s approach to innovation,” said Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo.

 “From the first unit, it introduces pioneering solutions that anticipate where our industry is heading. The market response confirms that owners recognise this direction, not as an experiment, but as a credible and desirable evolution of the superyacht.

With the launch of its second 50Steel, Sanlorenzo continues to advance a clear vision for the future of the segment - one where design, technology and responsibility converge to create iconic yachts that do not follow trends, but set new benchmarks for what comes next.
