NEW YORK is the newest expression of Sanlorenzo’s SX line, a 2025 crossover that rethinks what a 30 metre yacht can offer eight guests. Where a conventional flybridge yacht hides its machinery aft and stacks its volume upward, the SX100 pushes the engine room low and forward. That single decision frees the main deck, opens the sightlines, and turns the stern into a beach club that meets the water on three sides.
That beach club is the reason to charter her. Fold down terraces drop from both quarters and the transom lowers toward sea level, so the aft of the yacht becomes a shaded, teak floored platform a step above the waves. It is where the day starts with coffee and ends with the tender coming home, and it changes how a week aboard feels. The sea stops being a view from the rail and becomes the room you are standing in.
Above it, the main deck reads as one long, low, glazed space. Sanlorenzo’s design language here is quiet and precise: warm oak, pale stone, full height windows that carry the light across the floor, and a layout drawn for easy movement between saloon, dining and the open aft deck. Nothing shouts. The confidence is in the restraint.
She sleeps eight across four cabins. The main deck master runs to the windows on both sides, a genuinely bright owner’s room rather than a cabin with a porthole. Three further cabins sit on the lower deck, two doubles and a twin with a Pullman berth, so a family or a group of friends settles in without anyone feeling they drew the short cabin. A crew of five, discreet and well drilled, keeps the whole yacht turning without ever seeming to be in the room.
Underway she holds a comfortable 20 knots at cruise and will reach 23 when the schedule asks for it, with the range and fuel efficiency of a semi displacement hull rather than the thirst of a planing one. That balance, distance without drama, suits a proper Mediterranean itinerary. Think the French and Italian Rivieras through the high summer, the Balearics when the wind allows, and the quiet anchorages that reward an easy passage over a hard sprint.
Each deck has been given a clear purpose. The foredeck carries a sun pad and lounge seating for the slow morning hours. The aft deck sets for dinner under shade. The flybridge opens the sky for the evening. Water toys stow neatly and the tender launches without turning the day into a project, which is exactly how a charter should run: the logistics invisible, the experience front and centre.
For a party of eight who want space, natural light and the water close at hand, delivered by one of the most respected yards in Italy in its most current form, NEW YORK is a considered and modern choice. She is built around the way people actually use a yacht in the Mediterranean, and it shows across every deck.
Available for charter in the West Mediterranean from 90,000 EUR per week.
