Verdict
An older Sanlorenzo with classic flybridge styling and large guest capacity for its size. Best viewed as a refit-dependent charter platform: attractive layout and solid pedigree, but age, fuel efficiency and modern amenities will trail newer yachts.
Pros
- +Classic Sanlorenzo styling with a proven flybridge motor-yacht layout
- +Large guest capacity for an 82 ft yacht: 25 guests and 5 cabins
- +Inboard diesel setup suits established crewed cruising use
- +Popular charter-oriented format with usable outdoor/social spaces
Cons
- −1991 build means systems, finish and efficiency depend heavily on refit history
- −No verified performance data provided for this specific boat
- −Older hull and machinery are unlikely to match newer yachts for fuel economy or quietness
- −Accommodation of 25 guests suggests charter use rather than private-owner luxury
The Sanlorenzo SI72 is an early-1990s Italian flybridge motor yacht in the 82-foot class, a format that typically prioritizes deck space, guest flow and a practical family/charter layout over cutting-edge styling. Public listings for this model and similar Sanlorenzo 72 variants indicate a GRP planing hull, inboard diesel propulsion and an arrangement centered on a main saloon plus multiple cabins.
On the water, a yacht of this era and type should be expected to deliver comfortable coastal cruising rather than the refinement of a modern build. Handling is usually straightforward for an experienced crew, but performance, noise levels and fuel efficiency will depend greatly on engine condition, maintenance and any refit work; no verified performance figures were provided for this exact yacht.
Comfort and livability are the main strengths here: 5 cabins and the stated 25-guest capacity make it suitable for charter-style use and group entertaining. As a value proposition, it can be appealing if the refit is strong and the price reflects its age, but buyers should budget carefully for surveys, machinery checks and ongoing maintenance on a 1991 yacht.
