Italian yard Sanlorenzo has released new interior images of the first unit of its new 25.5-metre Heritage model, SHE, following her world premiere at the 2026 Cannes Yachting Festival.
First unveiled as a concept in 2025, the model marks the debut of Sanlorenzo's Heritage line, reinterpreting the styling of 1960s Italian yachts through contemporary engineering and design. The first five units had already been sold ahead of the yacht's official appearance, according to the shipyard.
Designed by Zuccon International Project and Lissoni & Partners, SHE is intended as a more understated expression of luxury, prioritising proportion, balance and longevity over trends. Continuous connections between interior and exterior spaces, carefully considered volumes and an emphasis on onboard living define the model's design.
The yacht's interiors evoke a mid-century Italian design with a contemporary sensibility, paying tribute to the classic yachts of "yesteryear", according the yard, which made clear that the aesthetic on board was refined but not nostalgic. A curated colour palette, mahogany finishes and tailored detailing with fine materials evoke the ambience of a Milanese lounge, while loose furniture and sculptural accents echo a mid-century Italian design.
A mezzanine creates a split-level main deck, where the elevated saloon is designed for both navigation and relaxation, thanks to a lounge, bar and helm station.
A circular staircase leads to the lower mezzanine, which houses the dining area, galley and crew quarters.
Located on the lower deck, accommodation is for up to six people and comprises a full-beam owner's cabin, a VIP cabin and a guest cabin, all with en suites. Crew accommodation sleeps up to three people across two cabins.
The same staggered arrangement is reflected in the yacht's superstructure, which develops across two decks. The main deck aft serves as a dedicated relaxation area with moveable lounge furniture, while the stern can transform into a water-level terrace, expanding the usable outdoor living space.
The bow and flybridge spaces are customisable, with the option to add sunpads.
A unique design feature of the yacht is the Smart Island system, which has been used to configure the sundeck. Developed by Sanlorenzo in collaboration with Zuccon International Project and Lissoni & Partners, this system allows an exterior space to transform from a lounge to sunbathing area by reconfiguring the furniture layout.
On the technical side, SHE is the first Sanlorenzo model to integrate Volvo Penta's IPS Hybrid propulsion system, combining electric and diesel power. The hybrid setup is paired with a bespoke 3.9-metre carbon-fibre tender equipped with electric propulsion, reflecting the builder's broader focus on low-impact technologies.
The yacht also represents another step in Sanlorenzo's "Tomorrow's Timeless" philosophy, which combines traditional yacht design with contemporary technology and craftsmanship.
“SHE is designed for connoisseurs who appreciate timeless elegance and purity of form. A tribute to beauty and heritage, where every detail reflects our vision of a contemporary, conscious way of experiencing the sea,” said Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo.
According to BOATPro, Sanlorenzo currently has 52 yachts under development.
In June, it launched the second from its flagship 74Steel line, Virtuosity, the largest built by the shipyard to date. She boasts several unusual features, such as a living tree rising through two decks, a submerged aquarium integrated into the hull and a 230-square-metre "Ocean Resort".
