Wednesday, May 7, 2014, saw Sanlorenzo China announce that the superb Sanlorenzo SL96 Special Edition yacht has just reached Hong Kong. With her trademark Sanlorenzo design DNA, the beautiful 96-foot motor yacht SL96 Special Edition boasts sleek lines and provides maximum comfort and luxury.

What makes the SL96 Special Edition yacht special however, is that you will not see this yacht anywhere else in the world, because the SL96 Special Edition is only for the Chinese market – It is the first yacht to be specially designed for Chinese yacht-owners and their unique preferences.
The arrival of the SL96 Special Edition superyacht in Hong Kong is a fitting milestone in Sanlorenzo’s new Greater China strategy, led by CEO Traugott Kaminski.

Major Layout Changes to specially suit Chinese yacht buyers
While many yachts offer customisation options, luxury yacht SL96 Special Edition does not just offer cosmetic changes, but boasts major layout changes that Chinese yacht-owners will find extremely attractive. Many sophisticated yacht owners in China use their yachts for both business and pleasure, and the SL96 Special Edition yacht is designed for that.
Stepping into the main-deck, the SL96 Special Edition yacht’s layout has been changed so that there is one continuous living and entertainment area. However, with the addition of special partitions, the saloon then becomes closed off from the dining area, making the saloon a perfectly private place to talk business, because the crew will be able to clear the dining area without disturbing the owners talking business. The wheelhouse is in a special half-deck, so that the captain of the boat will never need to walk through the saloon and distract the owner and his guests while they are deep in discussion.

When business is done, pleasure activities are not forgotten. With water-sports being a top activity of Chinese yacht owners, superyacht SL96 Special Edition has been re-designed to have a much larger bath platform. Most yacht-owners will need to choose between either storing a jet-ski or a tender boat in their garage, but owners of the SL96 will be able to store a tenderboat in the garage and two jetskis on the bath platform. A fun day in the water is guaranteed for owners of the SL96 yacht.
High up from the fun in the water in the Flybridge, the specially designed Spa Pool, fits 6 people, and the special design of the Spa Pool allows other guests on the flybridge a visual and aural experience.

The ultimate quality Italian furnishings and fittings
The SL96 Special Edition yacht is equipped and furnished to a level above regular luxury yachts. Owners will be pampered and surrounded by the best of European design and furnishings.
In the saloon, the owner’s and guests lounge in Minotti sofas, enjoying wine from the owner’s own collection, stored in his 102 bottle Gaggenau wine cooler. Entertainment options abound with multiple TV, with the largest sound system provided by Bose, the most extensive ever installed on a yacht. To get fully into the Italian mood, enjoy meals cooked on a Boffi kitchen, and finely roasted coffee made by the Gaggenau coffee machine.

The Sanlorenzo DNA
A Sanlorenzo yacht is built to make its owners feel perfectly at home. Many subtle touches are in place, from even the aft-deck which is designed for more perceived privacy, to the sliding windows that let light into the saloon without spoiling the look of the boat from the outside.
And while the MTU engines powers this sleek yacht to a top speed of 29 knots, any occupant on the SL96 Special Edition superyacht will notice how much quieter the yacht is when moving, a result of special Sanlorenzo engineering techniques to minimise noise to its occupants.

Mr Traugott Kaminski, CEO of Sanlorenzo China, comments “The SL96 Special Edition is a dream yacht for sophisticated Chinese yacht owners. I have been fortunate to be serving the Chinese yacht buyers over the past 10 years, but never before has a top European yacht factory designed a yacht specially for the Chinese market, and I am extremely happy that Sanlorenzo has accomplished what other yachts have failed to do: cater 100% to the needs of our Chinese customers while building it to 100% of European yacht-building standards.”
