AILY makes the case for the modern 50 metre yacht better than almost anything in her class. Built by Sanlorenzo in 2021 as part of the acclaimed Steel 52 series, she pairs a clean, contemporary profile with a steel hull and the volume of a much larger yacht, and she wears it all with the easy confidence that has made this Italian yard a favourite of design led owners. At 52 metres she is big enough for serious entertaining and small enough to slip into the quiet corners of the Mediterranean that larger yachts cannot reach.
She sleeps 12 guests across six cabins, with a crew of 10 delivering the kind of personal, unhurried service that defines a great charter week. The layout is built around outdoor living. Expansive deck spaces flow from a vast beach club at the stern to open air dining and lounging on every level, so there is always a sunlit spot to gather or a shaded one to retreat to.
Her signature is the water. A striking glass bottom swimming pool sits on the main deck, lit from within and open to the sea below, a genuine centrepiece rather than a token plunge pool. Around it, sun pads, loungers and a bar turn the deck into the heart of the yacht on a warm day, while the beach club brings guests right down to the waterline for swimming and launching the toys.
Inside, AILY is calm and contemporary. A palette of soft greys and warm creams runs through the interior, lifted by rich timber, careful lighting and blue accents that echo the sea outside. The main saloon is bright and sociable, the dining room elegant without being stiff, and a quieter sky lounge above gives the party somewhere to settle in the evening. Large windows keep the light moving through every space.
The accommodation is led by a full beam master suite on the main deck, positioned forward for privacy and paired with its own study and generous bathroom. Below, a mix of double, VIP and twin cabins welcomes families and friends in equal comfort, each finished in the same considered, modern style.
AILY cruises the Mediterranean with ease, at home in the Adriatic, the Aegean and the Ionian, where her size and friendly draft open up anchorages along the coasts of Italy, Croatia and Greece. A maximum speed of around 16 knots and efficient steel displacement make longer passages between islands straightforward, and the crew make the moves between them feel effortless.
The appeal is clear. AILY offers the design, the volume and the outdoor living of a flagship at a 50 metre scale, with a glass bottom pool and a beach club that few yachts her size can match. For a group that wants a modern, light filled yacht built around the water, she is one of the most complete options in her class.
What lingers after a week on AILY is how much of it is spent outside. Mornings begin with a swim from the beach club, afternoons drift between the pool deck and a shaded lounge, and evenings move from a sundowner on the sky lounge to dinner under the stars. She is a yacht that makes the most of the climate she was built for, and the crew keep that rhythm running quietly in the background from the first day to the last.
