Unique S is a current, confident expression of the Sanlorenzo semi displacement line. Delivered in 2024 as an SD118, she carries exterior lines by Zuccon International Project over naval architecture and interiors developed by Sanlorenzo, a combination that has made the SD series one of the most sought after on the water. She is modern where it matters, with the volume, the light and the systems of a brand new yacht, and she cruises the western Mediterranean through the season.
Her interior sets the tone. Where many yachts of her size lean traditional, Unique S is calm and contemporary: pale timber, soft neutrals, sculpted furniture and marble used with restraint. The main deck opens to a bright salon around a low marble table, with a dining area alongside and full height glazing that keeps the sea in view. A separate sky lounge one level up gives guests a second, quieter room, warm underfoot and easy to settle into at any hour.
Outside she is built for the Mediterranean day. A bow lounge carries a curved sofa and sun pads with the light and the breeze, the aft decks step down toward the water for dining and swimming, and the swim platform and beach club open the yacht to the sea. Her toys match the setting: a jet ski, a Seabob, water skis, paddle boards and snorkelling gear, with a tender for exploring the coast and the coves along it.
Unique S sleeps ten guests across five cabins, each with a private bathroom. The master is a full width, sea view room in the same restrained palette, and the guest cabins offer doubles and a twin, finished with the same care and natural light. Seven crew run the yacht discreetly, trained to keep the experience effortless and the yacht quiet, from a morning swim off the platform to a long dinner on deck as the coast lights up.
Her cruising ground is among the finest anywhere. Summers move between the French Riviera, from Saint Tropez to Cannes, and the Italian coast down to the Amalfi and its islands, with the Balearics and the wider western Mediterranean within easy reach. Twin Caterpillar engines give her a relaxed cruise and a comfortable turn of speed, so a run between the Riviera and the Amalfi is a pleasure rather than a passage.
For guests who want a genuinely new yacht, designed with a modern eye and backed by one of the most respected names in the industry, Unique S is a rare opportunity. She pairs the polish of a fresh build with a cruising ground made for it, and a crew and layout built around the way people actually charter. Little about her feels like a compromise, which is exactly what a new Sanlorenzo should offer.
The SD line earned its following by getting the balance right. It carries the interior volume and long range manners of a displacement yacht, yet moves with more ease and a little more speed when the day calls for it, and it does so with a shallow enough draft to tuck into the shallow bays and busy harbours of the coast. Unique S brings that formula to charter still close to new, with a fresh interior, a full set of toys and a crew that knows how to make a week aboard feel unhurried from the first morning to the last.
