Sanlorenzo 58Steel — A New Benchmark Between 55m and 60m
Fifteen years after redefining steel yachts, Sanlorenzo unveils the 58Steel: an evolved
successor to the 57Steel with a new diesel-electric system, expanded volumes, and a
reimagined concept of privacy, wellness, and connection to the sea.
Sanlorenzo introduces 58Steel, a refined and extended evolution of the
acclaimed 57Steel — one metre longer, infinitely more versatile, and engineered on a
completely new platform with a 10.8-metre beam and diesel-electric hybrid propulsion. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
With interior volumes comparable to a 64-metre yacht, 58Steel is conceived around flexibility, personalisation and experiential purity: from its
re-engineered engine room and three-sided beach club to its private owner’s world on
the Upper deck.
Innovation • Diesel-Electric Propulsion
A silent revolution at the core of 58Steel
At the heart of 58Steel lies a revolutionary diesel-electric propulsion system,
the first of its kind in Sanlorenzo’s steel line. Based on five 425 kW generators and a 1 MWh
battery pack, the configuration allows around 10% lower emissions compared with conventional
systems and offers extended silent, zero-emission operation. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Azimuthal pods with rotating propellers enhance manoeuvrability while reducing vibration and
noise. The entire engine room has been re-engineered to occupy a single deck, freeing more
than 40 m² of space that has been repurposed for guest and beach areas — converting technical
gain directly into lifestyle value.
“This yacht represents evolution, not repetition… unlocking more space, more light, greater
efficiency and a profound connection to the sea,” notes Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO of Sanlorenzo. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Interiors • Made-to-Measure
Engineering meets design purity
Crafted by the Sanlorenzo Style Department, 58Steel’s interiors are defined by a warm,
tactile palette: dark woods, Calacatta Borghini marble, mother-of-pearl and champagne
accents create an atmosphere of understated Italian luxury. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Two full-beam VIP cabins on the Lower deck are bathed in natural light through panoramic
windows, while the Supreme VIP suite on the Main deck rivals an owner’s
cabin in comfort and privacy.
Exteriors • Zuccon International Project
Sculptural strength, architectural calm
The exterior lines of 58Steel, drawn by Zuccon International Project, express
a sculptural yet restrained language — steel interpreted not as excess, but as balance,
proportion and innovation. The Bridge deck, extended by one metre, refines both
functionality and profile. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
A defining signature remains the three-sided beach club at the stern: doors
fold down to form a floating terrace over the water, housing a bar, hammam, gym and beauty
salon. Light, silence and direct contact with the sea transform this technical feat into a
true wellness retreat.
Steel Line • Segment 55–60m
Perla Lunar and the evolution of a leader
The first 58Steel, Perla Lunar, has been sold by Monaco-based Arcon Yachts, a brokerage company with more than 25 years of experience in
superyacht sales. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
As Sanlorenzo marks 15 years of leadership in steel yacht design, 58Steel reinforces the
yard’s benchmark role in the under-2,000 GT segment. With its new platform, hybrid
propulsion and reimagined use of space, it stands as a manifesto of the brand’s philosophy: technology serving emotion, craftsmanship aligned with conscience.
