34.1m Sanlorenzo SD112 Motor Yacht for Sale.

Sanlorenzo's company motto says it all: "Made-to-­Measure". Just like every other model nowadays from this Italian builder, a review of this SANLORENZO SD112 is not about standard features because her unique features aren't really standard. We like to think of Sanlorenzo as an Italian tailor, which made our listing of this SD112, even more revealing.

First you should know that the SD112 as a model fills a gap in the yard's line of semi-displacement Superyachts between the SD92 and SD122 (which recently was extended to 126 feet). The 112 is a dedicated hull, not a stretched or sawed-off version of another existing mould.

Francesco Paszkowski created a profile that is as seaworthy as it is eyeworthy. This well-proportioned tri-deck yacht features a forward main-deck Owner's suite with a great panoramic view. Tanganyika was the wood of choice of Sanlorenzo's new design team lead by Sergio Buttiglieri, for this splendid and contemporary motor yacht.

Her current (and single) Owner is a proficient architect who arrived with a sheaf of ideas, and several changes were made from the base layout. For example, the SD series usually has curved doors from the afterdeck to the salon, but this owner wanted more deck space, so fully opening sliding doors were moved closer to the salon, allowing room for a hidden bar as well as a large TV in an open-air salon extension. The extended planked overhang is chic. In the salon, the owner and interior designer Marty Lowe drew from Italy's best furniture companies with Edra, Minotti and Paola Lenti sofas, and placed them within a light-and-bright decor of whites and Penelope Oggi leathers setting off the Tanganyika woodwork. There is no fixed dining table, but instead, a stylish dining table can be placed between the two white couches that sit crossways here.

The Edra couches are fascinating, using wedge-shaped backrests so guests can sit facing forward (toward a wall-mounted, 65-inch TV to create a two-row media room) or aft toward the stern. The wedges can also fit sideways, allowing guests to enjoy the opening terraces on each side, another nod to Sanlorenzo's versatile yet comfortable layouts.

The Owner's suite fills the forward section of the house with entry through a dressing area that resembles a Loro Piana boutique, with stitched suede covering drawers with pull tabs. A Hermès freestanding hat rack accents this area. The master head is panelled in soapstone, including the shower, and the vanity is also soapstone. Three additional items are of note in the owner's suite: First, the wraparound windows give a 180-degree view forward and to the sides. For privacy, a discreet stainless-steel gate on each side deck behind the stateroom windows can be closed to alert the crew. Second is the planking behind the couch forward that gives the effect of a curved ship's hull, and third is a pantograph door opening to the side deck. This door provides access to a bow sitting area with a table for the owners.

Four guest cabins are on the lower deck and each is en-suite, with mirror queen staterooms aft and a pair of twin cabins with Pullmans forward, making this a good layout for large families with children. Access to the lower accommodations as well as the upper-deck sky lounge is via a curved stairwell in the port entry foyer, and at first glance, it is a striking sculpture of polished stainless steel, glass and a three-deck bulkhead of soapstone "bricks" that create an interesting texture.

When you use the stairwell, you discover there are no handrails. At all. This was the Owner's design, and Sanlorenzo will of course add handrails on future builds if owners want them.

The pilothouse is three steps below the sky lounge level and separated by a bulkhead to minimize distractions. The Captain has a handy office to port with desk, files and a swivel chair, a settee is to starboard. Aboard this SANLORENZO SD112, Simrad electronics in a three-monitor package was the gear of choice, as were CMC electric zero-speed stabilizers to avoid piping hydraulic fluid through the yacht.

The sky lounge is relaxing, with nubby Angiuoni fabrics on the couches and a planked wood overhead as a reminder that this is a yacht, not some New York penthouse. A partially covered afterdeck has a table for alfresco meals plus access to the flybridge. Another of the unique design features is the faux funnel that provides a good-looking mount for the electronics while remaining classic in style. Just forward is a spa surrounded by seating and sun pads, while the afterdeck is open for chaises and couches made for kicking back.

If you prefer dinner with a view, the SANLORENZO SD112's dining space on the back of the upper deck, will put a smile on your face in any direction you look.

This SANLORENZO SD112 for sale, is powered by a pair of 1450 Hp Caterpillar C32s (detuned from 1,600 horsepower), which reduces the maximum rpm from 2350 to 2150. Given reasonable care, these engines should run forever under these loads. Yet, this magnificent yacht is no slouch when it comes to speed, topping out around 17 knots and having an extended range of 2750 nautical miles at 11 knots, giving her long legs for cruising.

Construction on this SANLORENZO SD112 is superlative, with flawless joiner work, hand-stitched leathers that practically shout Italian craftsmanship and metalwork that is pure eye candy.
