EKKA Yachts has announced the sale of the first unit in Sanlorenzo's new 60-metre-plus series, the 1150EXP. The superyacht will be available for charter once delivered.
Commissioned by an experienced Greek owner and previous client of the shipyard, this marks the largest explorer yacht to be ordered from the shipyard to date. The 1150EXP has been designed by Zuccon International Project and will have "privacy features never found before on a Sanlorenzo superyacht".
Accommodation will be across six to seven cabins, not including a "master residence" that spans the upper two decks. There will be further quarters for 14-15 crew. The entire main deck will be dedicated to indoor-outdoor entertainment and formal dining.
Meanwhile, the full-scale beach club has been designed with opening terraces and a spa, illuminated by a glass-bottomed pool on the deck above. Other highlights include a touch-and-go helipad, an elevator serving four out of five decks and capacity for a 10-metre chase boat and 7.5-metre main tender.
"We are thrilled to have secured such an important order for Sanlorenzo, which marks our biggest new-build to date and Sanlorenzo’s biggest explorer yacht order ever," said EKKA Yachts managing director Dimitris Kyriazakos. "We are grateful to the commissioning owner for having entrusted our brokerage services for the second time, and for demonstrating vision and determination to embark on this project after months of commercial and technical negotiations with the builder.”
The project will be managed by EKKA Yachts and the owner’s team. This is EKKA Yachts’ fourth metal superyacht order with Sanlorenzo in the last three years.
