This is where the approach becomes transformative. Indeed, at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/285" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade - 2025">Metstrade 2025</a> the company presented itself as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SailADV Group (Company)">SailADV Group</a>, where “group” is intended as a set of multidisciplinary services and brands, organised into specialised areas covering the entire yacht lifecycle, from management and analysis to value preservation and innovation.With operational offices in Ancona, Pisa and La Spezia in Italy, a service point in Palma de Mallorca, and an innovation hub in Palo Alto, California, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SailADV Group (Company)">SailADV</a> employs technologies rarely seen outside high-end industrial sectors. Motion Amplification, for example, transforms ordinary video into a magnified analysis tool that reveals vibrations far too subtle for the human eye to see – vibrations that can lead to premature wear, reduced efficiency, or outright failure. And as diesel-electric and hybrid propulsion systems become the norm, high-frequency sampling is used to detect issues that traditional monitoring systems would miss. These measurement techniques allow shipyards and crew to shift from reactive maintenance to true condition-based maintenance.“In commercial shipping, predictive maintenance is standard,” says Palamà. “But superyachts behave differently. Their operational profiles vary dramatically from vessel to vessel, making uniform maintenance intervals unreliable. A charter yacht that spends its summer shuttling between Sardinia and the Amalfi Coast wears very differently from one that crosses the Atlantic or spends long periods at anchor.”Because every supplier uses its own communication protocol, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SailADV Group (Company)">SailADV</a> has designed its systems to ‘speak’ with virtually every machine on board, from the main engines to the stabilisers and HVAC system. The company has a multi-year programme with both <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6046" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Azimut-Benetti Group (Company)">Azimut|Benetti</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> to optimise the performance of their superyacht fleet. During sea trials of all <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benett</a>i’s 100-metre-plus yachts, for example, it used its own certified technology to log up to 5,000 variables.“The results are measurable,” continues Palamà. “For example, after monitoring a <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/212" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Benetti SpA (Company)">Benetti</a> Tradition for several seasons, we recommended switching propellers – a change that saved roughly €30,000 in fuel in a single season.”Also during <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Metstrade (Company)">Metstrade</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SailADV Group (Company)">SailADV</a> presented its newest development: D.gree V26, and its first AI Agent, Sailly, as the industry moves toward intelligent autonomy at sea. Offered in three configurations – One, Pro and Ultra – D.gree V26 is designed to adapt to both new-build and refit projects by fully leveraging intelligent node technology. Accessible both locally and remotely, the system is aboard a current fleet of around 70 yachts (expected to grow to 300 within three years), processing over 5 million data points per hour and predicting failures before they occur. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/396518/image/large-6c625f4bf1121bf5cbf12eb760b705ae.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/396518">D.gree can also track external conditions, such as weather, to provide an even more complete picture of the yacht’s actual operating environment. The benefits ripple across the industry: owners gain transparency and asset protection; captains receive a clear overview; engineers can plan work rather than firefight; fleet managers can monitor multiple vessels through a single coherent system; and shipyards are able to draw on a continuous closed loop between design, operations and service.As younger, more tech-oriented owners enter the market, expectations are shifting. They demand accountability, connectivity and smarter systems. Anchored by solid engineering and strengthened by data, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8890" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="SailADV Group (Company)">SailADV</a> is working to meet those expectations. In a sector built on craftsmanship, beauty and tradition, the company aims to bring something more tangible: proof. And as Palamà likes to remind people, in modern yachting, proof is power.

<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has unveiled the new SL80A, introducing the shipyard's iconic asymmetric architecture to the most concentrated interpretation of its historic SL line.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397501/image/large-3c2c4040a8060ff3b9d5d0a05b4fe870.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397501">Described as the "First Icon" of the range, the SL80A intends to distill more than 40 years of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> design into what the shipyard calls the purest expression of its design philosophy. Devised under 24-metres, the SL80A is designed to deliver the openness, refinement and liveability typically associated with significantly larger yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397504/image/large-8113495dfc492d411659b809265baaa4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397504">The first SL80A features exterior design and interior design by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon International Project</a>, continuing the studio’s long-standing collaboration with the Italian shipyard that has shaped the evolution of the SL line for decades.Taut yet balanced proportions, clean architectural lines and a strong continuity between her hull and superstructure preserve the distinctive identity of the SL line. Her flybridge, which is a defining feature of the SL line, fits seamlessly into the yacht's silhouette, highlighting her elegance without adding visual weight. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397502/image/large-e5489eb92275a143ef9bb950e314aaa9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397502">A defining feature of the SL80A is the further evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo'</a>s asymmetric architecture, which was first introduced by the shipyard in 2018. By relocating the side passage to starboard, the interior volume on the port side expands. This increases onboard liveability by up to 20 percent, while strengthening the flow between her interior and exterior spaces, without altering the yacht's balanced proportions.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397505/image/large-b9c28e04016c5c824ff4d1e8130042a0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397505">Accommodation onboard the SL80A is arranged across four guest staterooms, including a full-beam owner’s suite. Her main deck is designed to be bright and open thanks to full-height windows that also provide uninterrupted sea views. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397508/image/large-ee603728cded8784d7d31d7571340e38.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397508"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397511/image/large-9340e39cc8d89d66baf5ece8bfe32d96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397511" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Meanwhile, the asymmetric layout allows the saloon to feel wider and more architectural in character. A mezzanine-level helm preserves visibility while freeing up space for the living areas below.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397510/image/large-beea15d848f8f06760a8dba08a589b4f.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397510" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Inside, the yacht embraces a warm and contemporary theme, featuring warm materials such as Thai walnut, selected for its natural dialogue with the exterior teak decks. Throughout the yacht, bespoke "Azteca" parquet by Cadorin can be found, adding a geometric rhythm inspired by triangular forms. This pattern is repeated on wall panels and bed headboards to create a consistent look.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/397509/image/large-f31556ccb3ab8089a47edb9650a5bc58.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/397509" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Moving outside, the aft cockpit opens fully onto the water, making it easier to enjoy the sea view.
