LUCKY is a 24.6 metre Sanlorenzo, an Italian motor yacht from a yard that has become a byword for clean, contemporary design, delivered in 2020. She brings the pared back style and quiet quality of a much larger Sanlorenzo to a size that stays easy to run and easy to place, and she has a genuine turn of speed to match her looks. For a couple or a family who want to cover ground between islands and still anchor somewhere quiet by early afternoon, she is a well judged and good looking yacht.
She is built to move. A clean planing hull lets her cruise comfortably in the low twenties and reach higher when asked, yet she stays level and quiet enough for the group to talk on the flybridge underway. That pace is the point of her: it turns a long run between anchorages into a short one, so a week aboard can take in more of the coast without ever feeling rushed, and there is always time to swim before lunch.
Inside, the design is calm and current. The main salon is bright and contemporary, a soft white sofa and low table wrapped in full height glass that keeps the sea in view, pale surfaces and warm timber giving the room an easy, restful feel that flows straight out to the aft deck at anchor. A marble dining table sits forward under soft light, and the galley behind is finished to the same standard, a sign of how completely she was prepared for charter.
Accommodation is for eight guests in four cabins, all with their own bathrooms. The master is a wide, bright double with a writing desk and long windows at the waterline, the VIP takes a comfortable double with a mirrored panel that opens the room out, and two further cabins, including a twin, complete the layout. It suits two couples with children, or four friends sharing, with the master and VIP giving the two lead cabins real space and comfort.
Outside is where a Sanlorenzo of this generation earns its keep. The flybridge is large for her length, an open deck of sun pads and seating under a bimini with the helm forward, the place the group gathers from breakfast to sunset. The aft deck opens off the salon for meals in the shade, a step from the swim platform and the sea, and a tender and a spread of water toys come with her for the days spent in the water rather than beside it.
Her home water is the Amalfi Coast and the wider West Mediterranean, and she is well matched to it. From Sorrento and Capri along to Positano and Amalfi the coast gives clear anchorages under dramatic cliffs and towns that come alive after dark, and her speed makes the runs between them easy. With her contemporary interior, her genuine pace and a crew of four, LUCKY offers a stylish and practical way to cruise one of the finest coasts in Italy at a price that keeps a week aboard within reach.
