About Sanlorenzo For over 60 years the Sanlorenzo shipyards have been producing high- quality motor yachts, the result of a combination of craftsmanship, design and advanced technology, custom made according to the specific requirements of the owner. Founded in 1958 by Gianfranco Cecchi and Giuliano Pecchia with the opening of the first shipyard near Florence, Sanlorenzo was taken over in 1972 by Giovanni Jannetti who in 1985 launched the first boat to have a fibreglass hull and then moved the company’s headquarters to Ameglia. In 2005, Massimo Perotti - thanks to the strong experience gained in over twenty years of activity in the sector - took over the baton. Thanks to the management of Cav. Massimo Perotti, Chairman of Sanlorenzo, the shipyard has experienced extraordinary growth, bringing consolidated net revenues from new yachts from 40 million Euros in 2004 to 457.7 million Euros in 2020. With determination and entrepreneurial vision, Cav. Perotti has introduced real innovations in Sanlorenzo that have profoundly changed the yachting world. A fundamental step in this sense, was the opening to the world of design through the collaboration with authoritative signatures such as Rodolfo Dordoni, Citterio Viel, Piero Lissoni (since 2018 Art Director of the company), Patricia Urquiola, John Pawson and Christian Liaigre. A unique and innovative approach that has also prompted the company to link itself, over the last few years, to the world of art through collaboration with important galleries and cultural institutions. In 2018, Sanlorenzo signed a global partnership agreement with Art Basel, the most significant modern and contemporary art fair on the international scene, for the annual appointments in Hong Kong, Basel and Miami Beach. In 2020, Sanlorenzo also became the Institutional Patron of the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the most important museum in Italy for 20th century European and American art.
