The founding of Casa Sanlorenzo as its future cultural hub in Venice illustrates how its legacy could extend beyond the world of yachting to the realms of art, sustainability and community engagement

Italian custom luxury yacht builder Sanlorenzo sets sail on a new cultural venture by revealing the latest details regarding Casa Sanlorenzo at Art Basel Hong Kong this year.

Guided by its passion for transcending trends through its timeless custom luxury yacht designs, the shipyard injects the same dedication to excellence into Casa Sanlorenzo, the future headquarters of Sanlorenzo Arts, which is set to open its doors in Venice this year.

Italian luxury shipbuilder Sanlorenzo has been crafting tailor-made yachts for six decades

Sanlorenzo’s art director, Piero Lissoni, brings this ethos in design and performance to every custom-built vessel. Tapping into more than six decades of know-how at the Italian shipyard, Lissoni has forged a new path, redefining the conventions of design and artistic expression in the realm of luxury superyachts.

The art director’s vision for bespoke vessels first appeared in the SX88 motoryacht at Cannes Yachting Festival 2017. Lissoni brings an approach that facilitates new potential nautical design scenarios, putting modern and elegant spins on classic yacht design that reflects Sanlorenzo’s legacy.

Sanlorenzo Asia-Pacific, represented by Simpson Marine, brings this exquisite Italian tradition of luxury yachting to the region by offering Asian yacht owners exclusive opportunities to create bespoke vessels that bring whole new meaning to opulence at sea.

The celebration of Italian artistic and cultural tenets at the shipyard extends beyond the world of yachting. Sanlorenzo Arts, soon to be headquartered in Venice inside the beautiful confines of Casa Sanlorenzo, paves the way for the brand to take on a pivotal role in arts, culture and sustainability.
