Sanlorenzo, the Ameglia-based Italian shipyard now listed on the Milan stock exchange, has maintained a semi-custom build philosophy since 1958 that prioritises individualism over volume production. Each Sanlorenzo is built to a specific owner brief, with interior and exterior options that mean no two examples within the same model line are identical. The result is a charter fleet of consistent quality and individual character that sits comfortably between the production motor yacht sector and the fully custom superyacht tier. In Bimini, where charter guests cross 50 nautical miles from Florida to a compact island anchorage, a Sanlorenzo provides a level of interior comfort and exterior elegance unusual at this price point. Charter-available Sanlorenzo yachts in the Bahamas run from around 28 to 55 metres, accommodating four to twelve guests with crews of three to ten. Weekly rates range from approximately 60,000 to 250,000 euros before the advance provisioning allowance of 30 per cent, covering fuel at Bimini Bay Marina, food and drinks, harbour dues and applicable sportfishing licences. High season runs December through April. Bimini suits a Sanlorenzo charter well: exceptional water clarity, productive fishing grounds and an accessible location from Florida play to the strengths of a semi-custom Italian motor yacht that performs well on passages and presents well at anchor.
