Introduced in 2018 as the Sanlorenzo SL102 Asymmetric, the launch of this now-discontinued model marked a departure from conventional yacht design as the industry’s first asymmetric superyacht.
The result of a pioneering collaboration between Sanlorenzo, Zuccon International Studio, and American automobile designer Chris Beagle, her innovative asymmetric configuration, which abandons traditional symmetrical layouts in favour of enhanced spatial utilisation and improved functionality, reclaims internal volume while preserving exterior spaces. Measuring 31.10 metres in length, with a beam of 7.10 metres and a draught of 1.90 metres, she is constructed from GRP with a semi-displacement planing hull design that delivers exceptional performance capabilities. The SL102’s trademark half‑wide‑body layout features purposely mismatched side decks that maximise interior volume through widebody principles. The starboard side maintains a conventional side deck configuration, whilst the port side eliminates the walkway entirely, allowing the main salon to extend to the full beam and recover approximately 10 square metres of additional living space. Additional expansive panoramic windows flood the interior with natural light across the main salon, strengthening the indoor-outdoor connectivity. One of the main features of the SL106 is the flybridge, which offers generous alfresco dining, sunbathing, and entertainment areas all with generous overhead clearance. Another is the beach club, complete with a transom swim platform that provides direct water access. Able to accommodate up to ten guests across five ensuite staterooms, this includes a full-beam owner’s stateroom positioned forward on the main deck, featuring a chaise lounge and private exterior access, and four additional guest staterooms on the lower deck, whilst crew quarters forward house up to five staff members. Powered by twin MTU 16V2000M96 diesel engines, the SL102 has a top speed of 28 knots with a cruising speed of 24 knots.
