Sanlorenzo’s 50 X-Space: A New Era in Sustainable Yachting

28 February 2025

Sanlorenzo’s recent unveiling of the 50 X-Space at Boot Düsseldorf is a groundbreaking moment for the superyacht industry.

This new yacht incorporates a green methanol propulsion system, making it the world’s first bi-fuel yacht, significantly reducing emissions by up to 70%. This development is a key part of Sanlorenzo’s “Road to 2030” initiative, a strategy aimed at achieving carbon neutrality in yachting by the end of the decade. As the first step in this ambitious goal, the 50 X-Space represents a bold commitment to sustainability, setting a new standard in eco-friendly luxury.

The introduction of green technologies like the methanol propulsion system marks a transformative moment for luxury yacht manufacturing, where the industry increasingly aligns with global environmental goals. The collaboration with MAN to create this innovative propulsion system demonstrates the increasing demand for greener options without compromising the luxury experience. With sustainability now firmly in the spotlight, Sanlorenzo is leading the charge toward a future where eco-conscious yachts become the norm, not the exception.

This forward-thinking initiative has the potential to inspire other builders to prioritize sustainable innovations and push the industry toward a more environmentally responsible future. We, at Ocean Alliance, are excited about these developments and are eager to see how these innovations will enhance the sustainability within the industry. This step forward proves that luxury, performance, and environmental responsibility can coexist, offering a glimpse into the future of yachting.

Stay tuned for more updates on how this revolution in yachting continues to shape the industry.
