In the realm of luxury yachting, technological advancements are redefining the onboard experience, raising the bar for the world’s most discerning clients. At the forefront of this transformation is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a>, a company dedicated to turning visionary concepts into reality. As Nikusia Kooijmans, Marketing &amp; Sales Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a>, explains, “Owners’ representatives, shipyards, and designers are increasingly interested in inspiring their clientele with state-of-the-art innovations.” By merging client inspiration with cutting-edge technology, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a> aims to set new standards for onboard experiences that are already within reach today.Arjan Kleinveld, CEO, adds, “Although AV and IT might not be the first things that come to mind in defining the yachting experience, we’ve learned that in the operational phase, these systems significantly impact the owner’s enjoyment. A poor or unintuitive system can lead to frustration, whereas a flawless cinema, perfect internet, and well-balanced sound can truly add a ‘wow’ factor to any moment.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337580/image/large-0c8c666d66b53a0d9fe70d6c269ad971.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337580">An evolved approach to onboard tech – from sensory escape to AI smart systemsThe demand for bespoke, varied experiences is driving <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a>’s innovations across multiple fronts. “We’re seeing two distinct trends,” Kooijmans explains. “First, there’s a growing request for spaces free from digital interference, which we call a ‘sensory in-balance room’. These are designed as tech-free sanctuaries shielded from radiation, noise, and other disturbances, using carefully selected components to create a truly tranquil environment. Features like adaptive lighting, temperature, and sound help guests recover from jet lag and unwind in perfect tranquillity.” Project Manager Stefan van Hamburg elaborates: “Our environment is truly interference-free, even going as far as doing calibrated RF measurement to ensure all signals are below the threshold.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337573/image/large-211787c636a31f9cad74f4ece5180bd5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337573">Simultaneously, there is increasing interest in a total AI Smart System experience. What if your yacht could answer questions about your itinerary, lunch plans, or wave height – or even turn the lights on and off on command? Nowadays, voice commands can summon a coffee or service request with ease.But the possibilities go further. Clients can change the entire mood of a room simply by using their voice. Imagine saying, “Can you switch to an underwater theme?” and watching the entire room transform.This blend of AI-driven content and full voice command offers endless entertainment and creativity, sure to delight guests of all ages. Moreover, AI can help curate a personalised morning experience – from adjusting lighting and sounds based on your sleep to displaying a health report directly on your cabin window.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337583/image/large-30a004dff2093baf0f8be45f6121cc17.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337583">Andre Klepper, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V.

(Company)">ONEXP</a> has proudly realised several speciality projects that showcase their technical prowess. One standout example is a fully interactive videowall on a 139-metre yacht. The wall’s content adapts depending on who’s nearby, with fish swimming toward children, creating an unforgettable experience for all ages. The wall also synchronises with its environment – showing night-based content in the evening or enhancing a party atmosphere.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337582/image/large-eaffc358ab7457f1a4c13fc0e5c8eaf6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337582">Another example is the unique piano room on a 147-metre yacht, where <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a> designed an immersive jazz club experience. This space enables remote artists to perform via livestream, using a Steinway piano paired with a high-end Steinway &amp; Sons sound system.

Their Innovation Lab brings team members together to brainstorm and develop new ideas. “The power lies in having a variety of perspectives, which brings out the best in us all,” Klepper shares.Project Manager Stefan adds, “For each specialty project, we have a dedicated team, including an AV specialist, IT specialist, and Project Manager, which allows us to sit down with clients and understand their needs in depth. Equipment is set up, tested, and approved in our offices before it even goes onboard.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337581/image/large-bbbeaca1aae73063a2170cefe6169d27.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337581"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V. (Company)">ONEXP</a>’s highly structured approach guarantees predictability, with systems ready and operational even before interior installations are completed. Arjan explains, “With over 25 years of AV/IT experience on yachts, we’ve optimised our approach to save tremendously on commissioning time onboard, which minimises disruption. Commissioning with a small team rather than a large one on 100-metre-plus yachts has a significant positive impact on logistics and risk management. Our approach ensures all details are addressed well before launch, leading to a smooth handover process and client satisfaction.”In essence, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="One B.V.

The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYBA (Company)">International Yacht Brokers Association (IYBA)</a> has launched a new brokerage platform Yachtr. Powered by Yachtbroker.org, Yachtr provides brokers with new ways to list yachts, while giving prospective buyers a platform to view the yachts internationally.&nbsp;The platform is designed after several years of software development led by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYBA (Company)">IYBA</a>. “Yachtr is taking control from private enterprise solutions and putting it back in the hands of the community,” explained Paul Flannery, Chief Operating Officer, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6362" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="IYBA (Company)">IYBA</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/337394/image/large-abd7cbd87484a9f546255c665d8f8ea8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/337394">When on the website, users can search verified listings that are on the market by category, such as motor yachts, sailboats and cruisers, or by broker and yacht builder. Those interested in selling a vessel can also be connected directly to professional brokers by searching either by name, city or zip code.&nbsp;“We have heard concerns from our members, and we believe that Yachtr addresses and solves the challenges that current listing sites present. We want to provide a platform that is accessible to all, and inherently fair in its approach to displaying listings,” Flannery continued.&nbsp;The website also includes a ‘From The Bridge’ blog that offers an array of posts on topics including sea trials, captains, and boat insurance. Yachtr users are also invited to subscribe to have articles sent directly to their email inboxes.&nbsp;“We firmly believe that if the industry can be able to control their data that they will then be able to control their destiny and provide an enhanced consumer experience. Help us spread the word about a better way to buy and sell yachts where you’re always in control of your data,” Flannery continued.&nbsp;

Following their early 2000s advancements in zero-speed stabilisation, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a> is now leading the charge in electric stabilisation with the launch of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> E-Fin. This first fully electric stabilisation system was revealed at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> breakfast event on 25 September during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/224" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2024">2024 Monaco Yacht Show.</a>“The product is designed for a fin size in the three to five-metre range, which we refer to in terms of fin square-metres, and can be easily retrofitted to a Quantum XT™.” says John Allen, owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a>. The system is engineered to accommodate vessels in the 40m – 65m range. &nbsp;The system provides reliable stabilisation both at zero speed and underway, essential for modern luxury yachts prioritising comfort and performance.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330703/image/large-f4e408235b36f31880a395cdcdf2631b.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330703">This new system promises to boost energy efficiency by minimising wasted power during standby mode, leading to quieter and smoother operation compared to traditional stabilisers. With the e-FIN, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> aims to address the increasing demand for sustainable solutions in the luxury yachting sector. Furthermore, the e-FIN simplifies maintenance, reducing the complexities typically associated with hydraulic stabilisers and offering a user-friendly experience.First fully-electric stabilisation systemDesigned to enhance both operational efficiency and environmental impact, the e-FIN features a compact, robust gearbox and electrolytic capacitors that facilitate seamless power recovery and storage. This innovation reduces energy consumption and lowers emissions, while providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional hydraulic systems.A significant advantage of the e-FIN is its ability to recover and store energy through proprietary technologies, ensuring that excess energy generated during fin movement can be reused. “Depending on sea conditions, we can recover nearly 80 percent of the energy used to move the fin in underway mode,” highlights John Allen. This not only boosts overall efficiency but also decreases the yacht’s power consumption, resulting in reduced operational costs and a smaller carbon footprint.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330702/image/large-d3b307e8cbdb7e9b09e8bc5e97a8c893.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330702">Developing the E-FinThe E-FIN is the product of a multidisciplinary collaboration among <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a>’s team of 15 engineers from the United States and the Netherlands, spanning fields such as hydrodynamics, naval architecture, and electrical and mechanical engineering. Katie Ross, Business Development Manager, notes, “When I asked our Engineer Manager how our electric system differs from the competition, he responded, ‘We don’t know. We just decided to design the best electric stabiliser possible. That removed any boundaries for us.”<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> initially explored electric stabilisation a decade ago, but the available technology fell short of the company’s standards. “The components weren’t there. They needed to be lighter, smaller, cheaper, easier to install, and less likely to overheat. Energy storage and recovery were also not as advanced,” explains Andrew Corbin, Technical Sales Manager. At that time, the concept of an electric stabiliser seemed impractical due to these technological limitations.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330701/image/large-1c1b9c467fdedf9dcbd7d29e1d684e02.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330701">After pausing research into the e-FIN in 2014, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum</a> shifted its focus to improving existing systems and developing new innovations, such as the F45, as shared by John Allen during the unveiling event. “In 2022, we revisited the electric stabiliser, and by then, the technology had advanced considerably. What wasn’t available to us in 2012 was now readily accessible,” Allen continued.“For us, the key to the e-FIN was the technology developed for the F45, our hybrid power unit used in larger stabilisers. Essential to this is energy storage and recovery. We realised that with an efficient design, we could recover energy from the stabiliser while it’s in motion, which is substantial,” elaborates Allen. “We used the F45 energy storage and recovery theory for the e-FIN, allowing us to smooth the power output, reduce overall energy consumption, and recover energy during operation for future use,” he adds.A unique gearboxA standout feature of the e-FIN is its proprietary gearbox, engineered to endure up to, at least 10 million cycles, ensuring durability in demanding marine environments. In addition, this robust system employs electrolytic capacitors for power storage, chosen for their capacity to withstand high temperatures and effectively manage power fluctuations.John Allen explains, “We approached the design of the e-FIN with an in-house designed gearbox. We didn’t outsource a drive or gearbox from a supplier; instead, we designed our own, that could accommodate unique movements, while meeting the structural noise requirements and longevity that were important to our requirements.&nbsp;To address the challenges of cyclical loading, Allen continues, “Cyclical loading, such as a jump from zero to 25 kilowatts every four seconds, can compromise the ship’s electrical grid, causing a major strain and potential failure. &nbsp;With the electric stabiliser, the unit becomes so efficient that we had to find a solution to smooth the power. So we did.”&nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330705/image/large-1dffb2853fc68f62b37802c96ff1d3e4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330705">Andrew Corbin, Technical Sales Manager, adds, “Every yard will tell you that stabilisers can be an issue for onboard power systems. Fluctuations are detrimental to the power grid, and power is more easily drained at anchor. Energy storage for power smoothing is inherently important for the operation of the system, and until now, no one could recapture the power.”&nbsp;Complementing the gearbox is the E6 controller, which enhances the system’s functionality by monitoring the motor’s torque. This allows for real-time adjustments, reducing maintenance needs. The controller tracks power consumption and operational cycles, and it can be remotely accessed, adding a layer of convenience for yacht operators.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/330704/image/large-08b642d2e7f3e560f4e4265d7f273a0d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/330704">The launch of the E-Fin marks a new chapter for <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5020" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Quantum Marine Stabilizers (Company)">Quantum Marine Stabilizers</a>, and underscores the company’s dedication to innovation and sustainability.

Starlink was the lynchpin we were waiting for to fundamentally re-invent the onboard AV/IT systems we tailor to owner needs.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322599/image/large-a561ce10bcb309cc0cab486ec60e95a9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322599">AV/IT systems are complex and costly. What is your advice for project managers or owners' reps tasked with choosing an integrator and speccing a system?&nbsp;We respectfully challenge the assumption that AV/IT systems must be complex and costly. &nbsp;There is a clear trend towards simplification which we at bond are leaning into, and it is possible today to simultaneously shrink systems and future proof them. &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;Returning to the question, one should first make sure a good team is creating the system specification packages. If you are considering bringing expert consultants onto your team like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond TM</a>, then scratch the surface to ensure their merit and avoid cronyism. It takes time to build a good specification, and cutting corners at early stages can be costly in the end.Next, there has been a downsizing trend in the last decade which has allowed us to return space back to the interior, but it relies on good communications with the owner in terms they can relate to. If you ask an integrator or anyone really who doesn’t know the client, you will get over-spec’d systems containing everything plus the kitchen sink. However the systems we’ve been working with our customers to specify are smaller, cooler and more capable than those of the past, because customers today are rejecting a lot of the complexity which in the past was under-utilised or never used at all. &nbsp;Armed with a solid specification, one can then of course go to tender. If done right, you will get good apples to apples offers, and you can select your suppliers based on price and compliance to specification.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322598/image/large-1cc1724a3788481a08127e53899b4a72.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322598">Some superyachts now have a full-time ETO (Electro Technical Officer) on board. Generally speaking, is there sufficient training for crew to run and maintain the AV/IT systems properly? A well trained and knowledgeable crew will always make the guest experience onboard better, zero doubt. For over a decade, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond</a> has offered a variety of technical and cyber training courses to help crew enhance the skill set they bring onboard.Furthermore, our push to simplify and streamline the AV/IT systems means that these systems simply cause fewer headaches for the crew to begin with. The interesting caveat however is IT system administration. Switches and Wi-Fi over the next decades will always be required, as will the need for IT specialists who are experts in keeping the network secure and performant.Our Support Services group has been delivering expert technical assistance to crew for over 15 years, exactly to reinforce the crew and ensure they have access to all skills necessary to keep their yacht running smoothly.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/322165/image/large-9baeaf85af25d3b0b9d19bf5328f94bf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/322165"> In an increasingly connected environment, how important is it to have a cybersecurity management plan when designing an onboard IT system?A Cyber Security Management Plan is a vital operational matter that crew must attend to; it is not a tangible thing one can design into a system or pay cash up front for. If experts have designed the IT system to adequate standards using sound best practices while not cutting important corners, then it will be possible to operate it safely and securely. However a system packed with the most exotic security technologies in the world will amount to nothing if it gets hacked due to being operated and maintained incorrectly, or because the crew was not trained adequately to understand and avoid cyber threats.If the worst does come to pass and there is a cyber incident onboard, the crew need to have a good plan they can follow to ensure they immediately do the right things to mitigate harm and/or loss, while quickly bringing the vessel back to a secure state. This is what good cyber policies and plans can do.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond</a> serves the Cyber needs of yachts at every level. Our build management group ensures systems are designed and delivered to robust standards. &nbsp;Our service and support group maintains those systems at a secure state and helps crew to craft world class cyber policies that are well tailored to their needs. Lastly, our training team routinely conducts Cyber Awareness courses for entire crews to help everyone level up their operational security. Daily vigilance is needed in the face of the threats out there, and a well-prepared crew is the first and best line of defense. Fast connectivity at sea can be elusive. Are 5G, Starlink and other low earth orbit satellites taking over from traditional VSAT technology?This is not elusive any more since virtually every yacht on the sea has already installed Starlink. This constellation of satellites has fundamentally changed everything. Since 2014 when Greg Wyler and Elon Musk first started planning a Low Earth Orbit constellation called WorldVu, and when O3B went online, we have been preparing our customers to be ready for low and medium earth orbit systems. &nbsp;We are therefore proud to have had SpaceX as a guest on our stand at the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Monaco Yacht Show - 2022">Monaco Yacht Show 2022</a> when they first launched their marine service.It’s not nice to hear for legacy providers, but the fact is that conventional VSAT is now only a backup service, and one that will be in decline for the next decade. On the new-build side, we are now working on the first generation of yachts that will not have any large satellite radomes, resulting in a stunningly sleek exterior. &nbsp;Some in the industry made mistakes over the last decades, recommending unripe technologies that were obsolete before they were even installed. However, we at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2965" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bond Technology Management (Company)">Bond</a> steered our clients to avoid this error and can today assure anyone reading this that those days are over.Internet at sea is now abundant and more affordable than ever, and as more services come online to complete with Starlink in the next years, it will only become more so.AV/IT upgrades are commonly requested during refit or maintenance periods when time is limited. What do crew and shipyards need to be aware of? Firstly, if the vessel has good infrastructure (quality ship run cabling, well built and cooled technical racks, etc..) then absolute refit costs will be much lower over time. It costs a bit more upfront to build good infrastructure, but it pays off in savings *forever*, while increasing the longevity and reliability of all systems. &nbsp;Therefore, if the vessel’s infrastructure is poor, with intermittent faults and outages, overheating equipment, etc.., it may be a wise long term investment to improve said infrastructure. It might not provide any new flashy capabilities for guests, but it can pave the way for more robust and affordable systems in the long run.Next, to get the best prices and ensure a smooth refit period, start developing your scope of work early and be realistic. Instead of trying to do everything at once, we have seen a trend with several customers whereby they prefer to develop an evolutionary upgrade strategy for their vessel with us. By breaking the upgrades into discrete chunks of work, it can result in lower costs and higher quality outcomes which don’t require the vessel to be out of service for any one long block of time.Lastly, logistical aspects such as hardware lead times, labor logistics and access to refit shipyards should not be underestimated. When these things go wrong they can cripple a refit, so they are best considered well in advance. &nbsp;&nbsp;

What to expect at boot Düsseldorf 2025

As boot Düsseldorf 2025 draws closer, we take a closer look at what to expect from the world’s largest indoor yacht and watersports show. 

boot Düsseldorf 2025: What to expect at this year's event

New details and renderings of the 27.95-metre <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> SP92 motor yacht model have been unveiled.

The SP92 model will be exhibited by <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> at the upcoming <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/275" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Boot Düsseldorf - 2025">boot Düsseldorf</a> show kicking off on 18 January.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344451/image/large-1b26ba0d8ab192a92cb32104c35565b6.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344451">First announced during the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/210" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cannes Yachting Festival - 2024">Cannes Yachting Festival 2024</a>, the Sanlorenzo SP92 yacht model follows in the footsteps of her larger Smart Performance predecessor – &nbsp;the SP110 – presented two years prior. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344470/image/large-fc1a11f2269a40f4055d25722d6bd35a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344470"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344474/image/large-c16e24de03e19cba69e22acf34b200ea.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344474">The model is the fruit of a collaboration between <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> and <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> for her exterior design, while architect Piero Lissoni created her interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344453/image/large-29808d22a2111a588ed8bd4b860b30d4.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344453">“SP92 reaffirms our commitment to strengthening our research in the segment of high - performance, sporty boats, which has been highly rewarding for us, as evidenced by the prestigious Compasso d'Oro 2024 award that SP110 received from ADI, the Association for Industrial Design,” commented Tilli Antonelli, Head of Development and Product of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>’s SP line.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344463/image/large-fb4027db02b4c05287cbf1b03b89e030.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344463"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344472/image/large-db9790301f00ccd7b2dc524a3091909b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344472">Defined by minimalistic and clean lines, the SP92 displays a condensed size compared to the SP110, but also maintains the same sense of balance and athleticism. The newest edition similarly provides a total of 4,000 horsepower with waterjet propulsion, while offering owners the possibility of a customisable layout. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344455/image/large-990f00395be500970b3c855f9025ea1d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344455"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344477/image/large-4b7867bf5b2cafe11bb3d299961854f8.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344477">“Consistent with the concept underlying the Smart Performance line, SP92 combines the characteristics of a performant yacht with unprecedented livability of both interior and exterior spaces. This model also highlights <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a>'s ongoing commitment to sustainability, one of the key growth drivers we have identified to solidify our leadership in the industry,” Antonelli continued. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344463/image/large-fb4027db02b4c05287cbf1b03b89e030.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344463">One of the SP92 yacht’s most standout elements is her aft section, comprising a beach area of nearly 45-square-metres. This area’s retractable door hides the garage, which has the capacity to house a tender at a maximum length of 3.95-metres. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344452/image/large-80e3edb5eec6a2b53459cf498215332b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344452">The SP92 yacht’s deck is nearer to the water for a synthesis between guests and the outdoors, whereas her superstructure has been configured for the installation of solar panels. Moreover, the yacht’s antennas have been placed in a concealed location in order to support the panels' efficiency.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344469/image/large-b57a606b1ae10c7a65a37acd7943cdbd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344469">“SP92 represents a crucial strategic step in bringing the vision of the Smart Performance range to life. The boat confirms all the aspects that have already been highlighted aesthetically in the SP110 - minimalism and clean lines aiming for a formal synthesis,” explained Bernardo Zuccon of <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> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344456/image/large-4eb63681d1fa1a4c1603f089f93de4c1.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344456">The superstructure’s expansive perimeter windows are developed with a special laminated glass composition that shields those on the inside from UV rays. In addition, the large aft window provides access to the yacht’s interior living spaces, which span across four decks.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344465/image/large-59692ef4d01a7a80e25ed65b32dcfbdd.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344465">“The only distinguishing feature is the stylistic element that defines the SP's design language: the copper-colored blade that runs along the upper edge of the superstructure, characteristic of the range, is more extended in the SP92, adding further sportiness and balance to the boat. This stylistic feature serves as the most distinctive hallmark of the entire SP fleet, infusing it with energy and a strong identity,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/105" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Zuccon International Project (Company)">Zuccon</a> added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344458/image/large-b729f2295dc64a272a7979c5f8fc400d.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344458">The motor yacht’s first level is home to a lounge that can be furnished in several different ways, while the deck above contains the central living space flanked by large windows, one of which is sliding for outdoor access.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344467/image/large-2d3a4522c7034f1216edfaaf7fe864bb.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344467"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344471/image/large-f6f5c9beb81eb90b9009b38063a2e582.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344471">Moving to the deck above, a short corridor paves the way to the guest accommodation, consisting of a full-beam owner’s suite at the bow, and two twin guest staterooms aft on either side, each with an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344468/image/large-a434f1e6e6804f7e1e186e10fca05c23.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344468"> <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344460/image/large-ee3835e5963224575dff152d5a261f38.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344460">When following the same corridor towards the stern, guests are met with a fourth level, which can be arranged into a playroom, cinema or another stateroom. In both variants, the space includes an ensuite bathroom.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344461/image/large-91105e2b77eacbd6d1e2a596c94071e0.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344461">“SP92 is a floating piece of architecture with very well - balanced dimensions . It’s like a beautiful motor boat stretching over 90 feet and has the same drivability and speed as a motorboat but with the livability and architecture of a large yacht. SP92 is a cross between a large motorboat and a vast beach. There are spaces that combine, with double height areas, connections between the deck, – which is at water level – and the rooms, as the interior blends with the exterior and vice versa,” enthused Piero Lissoni of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/78" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lissoni & Partners (Company)">Lissoni &amp; Partners / Studio Lissoni</a>. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344462/image/large-b911b41fd3230ff0fc2ba80b5008c70b.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344462">Performance-wise, the SP92 yacht is powered by twin <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="MAN (Company)">MAN</a> engines that propel her to a cruising speed of 35 knots and a top speed of 40 knots. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344450/image/large-6a4069ed3491c00e4199d16e52b89927.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344450">Furthermore, the Italian shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> has addressed the notion of sustainability in their approach to constructing the new SP92 yacht model, stating, “The unique hull geometries allow the optimisation of the resistance coefficient at commonly used speeds, thereby minimising fuel consumption.” <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344459/image/large-0ffc3b6f95167ad01e0921f05a4b23a9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344459">“For the photovoltaic system on the superstructure, a new ultra-high-efficiency monocrystalline cell was used, providing an average of about 3 Kilowatt peak per hour, which is stored in the service battery pack, ensuring all hotellerie functions are maintained while anchored. All this allows the SP92 to consume about 12-13 percent less at cruising speed than the same boat built with conventional production processes and traditional materials. The overall result is a ‘Smart Performance’ yacht that, as much as possible, guarantees environmental protection,” <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/374" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Sanlorenzo (Company)">Sanlorenzo</a> concluded. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344454/image/large-bbf11a096ab2d26f396c58ffd385d321.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344454">
