Sanlorenzo’s revolutionary asymmetric design arrives at the Cannes Yachting Festival with the SL96A this September.
Her asymmetric layout reshapes life on board, introducing flexible spaces and a seamless flow between interiors and exteriors. Concealed gangways, full-height glazing and opening terraces enhance light and volume, while her elegant, balanced lines retain the unmistakable refinement of the SL range.
Clean architectural lines, tailored materials and a refined palette create light-filled interiors shaped around comfort, balance and an enduring connection with the sea.
Joachim Howard, Country Manager of Sanlorenzo Australia, will be at the Cannes Yachting Festival at the Sanlorenzo and Bluegame stand and will be available for private viewings throughout the show.

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.
Thank you to everyone who joined us during one of the country’s most prestigious sailing events.

Beyond the familiar lies Vanuatu, an archipelago of volcanic landscapes, pristine reefs and deeply rooted island traditions.
Across its remote waters, secluded anchorages lead to Espiritu Santo’s crystalline blue holes, Ambrym’s dramatic volcanic terrain and the untouched marine environments of the Maskelyne Islands. Best revealed by yacht, Vanuatu offers a rare depth of adventure both above and below the surface.
With yachts operating across Vanuatu and extensive regional expertise, Ocean Alliance provides considered guidance on yacht selection, tailored itineraries and exceptional experiences. Enquire now to begin planning your charter.

Sydney in summer is a city shaped by the water.
Long days and warm conditions bring the harbour to life, from the Opera House and Harbour Bridge to secluded beaches and protected anchorages. Athol Bay offers uninterrupted views of the skyline, while Middle Harbour opens into calm coves framed by national park.
Further north, Pittwater and the Hawkesbury reveal a quieter side of Sydney, where forested shores, glassy inlets and secluded anchorages feel far removed from the city.
Ocean Alliance has access to a curated selection of yachts available for charter in Sydney this summer. Contact our team to explore current availability and begin planning.
Sanlorenzo`s 50X-SPACE — where volume meets a new sense of freedom.
The 50X-SPACE extends Sanlorenzo’s X-Space philosophy into a 50-metre platform designed around openness, versatility and a closer connection to the sea. Expansive exterior areas, generous interior volume and a strong focus on how guests move between spaces create a yacht that feels equally suited to long-range cruising and relaxed time at anchor.
Distinctive, contemporary and highly considered, the 50X-SPACE reflects Sanlorenzo’s continued approach to evolving the way life onboard is experienced.

After her current Australian season, BELUGA will set a new course in 2027, beginning the year in New Zealand before continuing north to Fiji.
Built for exploring beyond the usual cruising grounds, the 34.7m Moonen explorer is particularly well suited to a year like this — combining generous deck spaces, a dedicated chase boat and genuine expedition capability with the comfort of a private superyacht.
From New Zealand’s dramatic coastlines to the reefs and islands of Fiji, her 2027 programme opens the door to a very different kind of charter year.
Enquiries are now open for BELUGA’s upcoming New Zealand and Fiji seasons. Contact Ocean Alliance to discuss availability and itineraries.
Modern, spacious and perfectly suited to island cruising, AURA has become a familiar presence in the Whitsundays charter fleet. Her generous volume, five ensuite staterooms and relaxed indoor-outdoor layout make her an easy choice for families and groups looking to spend time together on the water.
From mornings at anchor to long afternoons exploring the islands, AURA offers a comfortable base for experiencing one of Australia’s most established cruising grounds.
Contact Ocean Alliance for availability and charter information.
