Fresh from her world premiere at the Cannes Yachting Festival, SHE marks a new chapter for Sanlorenzo as the first model in the new Heritage range.
Inspired by the Italian navettas of the 1960s, SHE brings together classic proportions with a distinctly contemporary approach to design. Exterior lines by Zuccon International Project and interiors by Piero Lissoni create a considered balance between Sanlorenzo’s heritage and its modern design language.
SHE also introduces Volvo Penta’s IPS hybrid propulsion system to Sanlorenzo, reflecting the shipyard’s continued focus on innovation and more efficient onboard systems.
With the first five units sold ahead of her official debut, the response to the new Heritage range has already been significant.

The Mediterranean summer may be drawing to a close, but there is still time to enjoy the region’s mild temperatures and fewer crowds. Where two continents meet, Turkey reveals a coastline shaped by centuries of history and life at sea.
Waterfront palaces line Istanbul’s Bosphorus, while Bodrum’s whitewashed villages give way to clear Aegean bays and refined marinas. Further south, Göcek’s sheltered waters open into pine-covered islands, followed by the dramatic Gulf of Fethiye and the wild, mountainous shores of the Datça Peninsula.
Ancient cities, quiet coastal villages and secluded anchorages reveal a different character at every point along the coast.
Ocean Alliance has access to a vast selection of yachts available for charter in Turkey. Contact our team to explore current & last minute availability and begin planning.
The Cannes Yachting Festival is officially underway.
Sanlorenzo is once again presenting a strong line-up across the show, with Joachim Howard, Country Manager of Sanlorenzo Australia, on the ground throughout the week and available for private appointments across both the Sanlorenzo and Bluegame stands.

Hamilton Island Race Week once again provided the perfect backdrop for bringing together a group of owners, clients and friends of the yachting community.
Hosted by Joachim Howard aboard the Swan 82, CRACKERJACK, the private gathering was an opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, welcome new ones and enjoy an evening centred around a shared passion for yachting.
The strength of this community lies in the relationships built over time, and it was a pleasure to spend the evening with those who continue to shape and support the Australian yachting scene.
