Sanlorenzo is an Italian superyacht builder based in La Spezia, producing semi-custom motor yachts and sailing yachts with a design philosophy that consistently attracts leading architects and interior designers to give each build a distinct visual identity. The yard operates across three build lines: the SL fibreglass series up to around 28 metres, the larger steel and aluminium SP and SD series, and the SX cross-over series that sits between sport yacht and superyacht. Sanlorenzo’s boats are consistently among the most photographed at any international superyacht show, driven by proportions and detailing that transcend the platform production model. The seven Sanlorenzo yachts available in Caribbean and Windward Island waters from Barbados represent a range of sizes and build programmes, offering charter parties the opportunity to experience the yard’s celebrated exterior lines and interior finishes in the Caribbean context. Barbados is a natural western staging point for the Windward Islands, with calm anchorages at Carlisle Bay, Holetown, and Paynes Bay on the island’s platinum coast and provisioning facilities in Bridgetown. Weekly charter rates for a Sanlorenzo from Barbados run from approximately 35,000 to 130,000 euros per week depending on size, with an advance provisioning allowance of around 30 percent covering diesel, provisions, crew gratuities, and marina fees. Caribbean peak season is December through April. The passage from Barbados to Bequia in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines takes five to six hours at 14 knots, and Mustique and the Tobago Cays extend the circuit south within a comfortable five-day programme.
