Sanlorenzo is an Italian shipyard based near La Spezia in Ameglia, producing semi-custom motor yachts across several distinct series. The SL series covers displacement motor yachts from 26 to 52 metres; the SD Superdisplacement adds long-range capability in larger sizes; the SX explorer range brings an asymmetric, open-deck aesthetic. Sanlorenzo’s consistent performance on the Mediterranean charter market reflects the brand’s reputation for interior quality and strong resale values.
Menton suits a Sanlorenzo charter well: the town’s sheltered bay, its proximity to Sanlorenzo’s own yard in Ameglia, and the quick access to Monaco and the Italian coast make it a natural operating base for these versatile yachts. Crew teams are experienced in the eastern Riviera and familiar with the provisioning options, anchorages, and marina protocols between Menton and the Italian border.
Weekly charter rates for Sanlorenzo yachts in the South of France range from approximately 80,000 to 400,000 euros per week across the yard’s size range. The advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covers fuel, provisions, harbour dues, and crew gratuity. July and August attract peak rates; June and September represent strong value for the same Menton and eastern Riviera itinerary.
From Menton, a Sanlorenzo yacht reaches Monaco in under 30 minutes and Cap Ferrat by mid-morning. East from Menton, Ventimiglia and San Remo are a short passage; Portofino and the Cinque Terre are achievable within two to three days. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, immediately west of Menton, provides a calm anchorage for the first afternoon of the charter.
