Sanlorenzo’s positive financial outlook follows a busy year for the Italian superyacht building stalwart that has already seen it launch its new High-end Services Division and open new production facilities in Ameglia.

According to The Superyacht Agency, since 2010 Sanlorenzo has delivered a total 103 superyacht projects at an average of 10.3 units year on year. According to the yard’s order book, there is a further 13 deliveries scheduled in 2020, which would mean Sanlorenzo starts the new decade with a delivery output that outperforms its average output for the previous 10 years. Additionally, over the course of the same 10-year period Sanlorenzo’s average year on year fluctuated between 35-38m. However, between 2020-2022 the yard’s average LOA is expected to climb to 45m-plus, which falls in line with the data suggesting that superyachts are, on average, getting bigger.
