YXXI Yacht Design reveals 127m concept Project #4


French studio YXXI Yacht Design has revealed its latest concept, the 127 metre Project #4.



Project #4 boasts multiple options for sport on board. The superyacht sundeck can be converted into a sports court, suitable for tennis, basketball, football, badminton or golf, while the walkaround bridge deck can be used as a 200 metre running track.

On yacht there is a
superyacht swimming pool. The pool is situated on the aft deck and it measures 12 metres long by eight metres wide and 2.75 metres deep. Glass sidewalls ensure plenty of natural light will filter down into the beach club below.

Accommodation for up to 30 guests is split across 15 staterooms, including an upper deck owner’s suite, complete with its own private spa and terrace, eight bridge deck double cabins and six further doubles on the main deck. The entire lower deck is dedicated to crew and technical areas, with enough room for a staff of 46 people.

Other key features include a 30-seat movie theatre and a superyacht helipadon the foredeck with a maximum diameter of 11 metres.

YXXI Yacht Design adds that Project #4 could be driven by either a diesel-electric or traditional diesel propulsion system supplemented by an electric azipod, with both offering the option for silent cruising.

Sold new-build Sanlorenzo SL78 yacht Hull 686


The 14th hull in the entry-level Sanlorenzo SL78 series has been sold by regional dealer Sanlorenzo Spain.



This 24.64 metre yacht is being built from composites at the Italian yard’s Ameglia facility and will be delivered to her experienced European owner in July.
Hull 686, as she is currently known, will be based in Mallorca, Sanlorenzo Spain revealed.

The specification has been designed around luxurious Mediterranean cruising with room for up to eight guests and two crewmembers.The guest layout includes an amidships owner’s suite on the lower deck, a VIP cabin, a double and a twin. Key features include a hydraulic launching system that will allow Hull 686’s 3.95 metre jet tender to be splashed with ease. Vital statistics include a 5.74 metre beam and a maximum draught of 1.8 metres – ideal for shallow waters cruising.

Propulsion will come from a pair of 1,622hp MTU 10V2000M96L engines, which is the more powerful of the two set-ups that Sanlorenzo offers, giving an estimated top speed of 29 knots. What’s more, a total fuel capacity of 5,350 litres ensures that extended coastal cruises are on the cards.

First introduced at the 2016 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Sanlorenzo SL78 series has proven to be particularly popular.
The Italian yard will be hoping that its new entry-level model the SX72, which is due for a public debut at Cannes this year, will continue this trend.
