Sanlorenzo 62Steel Alchemist: A Five‑Deck Superyacht Steals the Show at PBIBS 2026

At the Palm Beach International Boat Show (25–29 March 2026) one of the largest yachts on display drew a steady stream of visitors: Sanlorenzo’s 62Steel Alchemist, a 62‑metre displacement superyacht delivered in February 2022. As the second hull of the yard’s 62Steel series, Alchemist pairs substantial internal volume with the sort of outdoor living that defines contemporary Italian superyacht design.

Design and construction

Built in La Spezia by Sanlorenzo, Alchemist combines a steel displacement hull with an aluminium superstructure and teak decks. The naval architecture was handled by Sanlorenzo’s in‑house team, while Officina Italiana Design devised the exterior lines — long bands of glazing, stepped decks and a poised, contemporary profile. The yacht is built to Lloyd’s Register ✠ 100A1 SSC Yacht, Mono, G6 standards and is Marshall Islands‑flagged.

Interior and layout

Most sources attribute the interior to Officina Italiana Design, though U.S. commentary notes American designer Marty Lowe completed the styling, which critics described as a relaxed beach‑house aesthetic. Warm neutrals, light woods and marble are balanced with extensive glazing to create bright, airy living spaces across five decks organized around a central staircase and an elevator that serves the main and bridge decks.

Alchemist accommodates 12 guests in six suites: a full‑beam owner’s deck with panoramic 180° views and a private forward terrace with a pool/jacuzzi; a VIP cabin; two double cabins; and two twins with Pullman berths. The owner’s suite includes his‑and‑hers bathrooms, a dressing room, a study and a private lounge and bar. Crew quarters sleep up to 16 across eight cabins, maintaining discreet circulation and service.

Amenities and guest experience

Resort‑style features are concentrated at sea level and on the owner’s deck. The beach club furnishes a waterside lounge with a bar, gym equipment and a hammam, augmented by fold‑down terraces that open directly to the water. A wellness area adjacent to the beach club includes a treatment room and gym. The yacht hosts two pools — a forward owner’s pool/jacuzzi and a glass‑bottom aft pool above the beach club that admits natural light to the lounge below — plus multiple al‑fresco dining and relaxation spaces on the bridge and main decks.

Tender and toy capacity is practical and considered: twin side garages amidships house a 9.75 m Frauscher tender and a 6.8 m Ribeye RIB alongside jet skis, while the aft area is preserved for the beach club and pool. Entertainment is served by a convertible cinema, satellite TV, video‑on‑demand and Wi‑Fi throughout. Additional features include a spa/beauty salon and underwater lights.

Performance and engineering

Alchemist is engineered for long‑range cruising. Twin MTU 16V 4000 M53 diesel engines (2 × 2,502 hp) drive twin screws to a top speed around 17–17.5 knots and an economical cruising speed of approximately 11–12 knots. The yacht’s quoted range is up to 5,000 nautical miles at 11 knots, with some broker listings estimating as much as 6,000 nautical miles at 15 knots. Capacities include roughly 120,000 litres of fuel and about 36,000 litres of water. Stabilisation comprises at‑anchor and underway systems, supported by bow and stern thrusters.

Show presence and sale status

Making her U.S. show debut at PBIBS, Alchemist drew attention as one of the larger superyachts on the docks. Boat International’s preview and on‑site coverage highlighted the main saloon’s open plan and warm leather accents alongside the lower‑deck beach club with fold‑out platforms and wellness facilities. Listed for sale in January 2026 through a joint central agency between Cecil Wright and Zarpo Yachts, Alchemist carried an asking price of €64,000,000 (about US$74 million) at the show. She remains privately owned and is not available for charter; viewings are arranged through the listing brokers.

Industry context — why Alchemist matters

Alchemist underscores two converging priorities in contemporary large‑yacht design: generous interior volume and a focus on wellness and seamless indoor‑outdoor living. The 62Steel platform channels both, offering a five‑deck arrangement that feels larger than its length alone suggests. For buyers seeking a turnkey superyacht with transoceanic capability, Alchemist represents an attractive alternative to new builds — a finished asset that combines Italian naval engineering with amenities aligned to the current market appetite for wellness, privacy and versatile guest spaces.
