Sanlorenzo SHE: a 25.5 m Heritage Yacht With Hybrid Power
SHE, short for Sanlorenzo Heritage, takes the lines of 1960s Italian motor yachts and pairs them with Sanlorenzo's first Volvo Penta IPS Hybrid drive. Sanlorenzo has now released the official photo selection, inside and out.
Sanlorenzo unveiled SHE in La Spezia in October 2025. She is 25.5 metres (83 ft 8 in) long and built as a one-off production offering. Sanlorenzo says SHE is not the start of a new range.
The design came from a five-year collaboration between the yard, Zuccon International Project and Lissoni & Partners. Zuccon drew the exterior. Piero Lissoni, Art Director of Sanlorenzo, coordinated the interiors.
“SHE is a gentle yacht.”
Piero Lissoni, Art Director, Sanlorenzo
One level aft, a beach club at anchor
The main deck runs on one level with no steps. The stern stays compact under way and opens at anchor into a sea-level terrace.
Forward there is a solarium, and above it a sun deck. Sanlorenzo's Smart Island modular furniture moves between the sun deck and cockpit, so nothing fixed blocks the glass. The decks use a synthetic teak that Sanlorenzo says runs 3 to 4°C cooler than natural teak and needs almost no upkeep.
“SHE is not just a yacht; it is memory in motion.”
Bernardo Zuccon, Zuccon International Project
Three levels, three guest cabins
Aft on the main deck, the living area holds a lounge, a bar and the helm station. The raised main salon opens straight onto the cockpit. A round staircase leads down to a mezzanine with the dining area, next to the galley and crew quarters.
The lower deck has a full-beam owner's cabin aft, then a VIP cabin and a guest cabin, all en suite. Two crew cabins forward sleep three. The finish is mahogany with loose furniture, which Sanlorenzo compares to a Milanese lounge.
Sanlorenzo's first hybrid IPS
SHE runs twin Volvo Penta IPS30 Hybrid units, 2 x 1,000 hp. It is the first Sanlorenzo to use the system. The hull is sandwich laminated with bio-based resins to save weight.
Full electric
Up to 9 knots on battery. Quiet in and out of marinas and at anchor.
Recharge under way
45 minutes of diesel running fills the battery, enough for a night at anchor without the generator.
Booster
Electric thrust adds to the diesels for more performance at lower engine rpm.
Electric tender
A 3.95 m (13 ft) carbon-fibre tender with electric drive, built for SHE.
“A tribute to beauty and heritage, where every detail reflects our vision of a contemporary, conscious way of experiencing the sea.”
Tommaso Vincenzi, CEO, Sanlorenzo
“Launching SHE during the 20th anniversary of my custodianship of Sanlorenzo is deeply meaningful.”
Massimo Perotti, President and CEO, Sanlorenzo Group
