Super Yacht of the Year 2011 - Sanlorenzo SL94

A month of 2 Awards + 3 Nominations!



Winning "Superyacht of the Year" at her first yacht show appearance was an impressive way to start her career, during the Genoa International Boat Show 2011.

The most recent edition to the Sanlorenzo SL line, the SL94 offers a contemporary profile, yet retains the traditional look of Sanlorenzo. The strong Sanlorenzo design genetics of the window line remain, in keeping with the renowned design language that is the hallmark of the yard.

As with the entire range, the interior is tailored to fit each owner's needs and wishes, like the finest bespoke suit, reflecting the owner's sense of style and individuality. This award winning yacht has a very innovative layout. A substantial salon, a large dining area and ergonomically-designed galley occupy the main deck, has never been arranged like this before.

Below deck, Sanlorenzo offers absolute flexibility, allowing up to four suites for eight guests. A full-beam master, with his and her heads, sits aft. Twin-berth staterooms, a huge VIP suite, and three en-suite heads offer privacy for all the guests.

A beautifully outfitted crew space allows four crew access directly to the galley. A surprisingly large pilothouse offers your captain all that is needed to safely maneuver this amazing creation.

The flybridge lounge is without equal, a huge space dedicated to one thing: enjoying the sea with your fortunate companions, friends and family. This wonderful socializing space has been made possible thanks to being able to store the tender in the generous Aft Garage.

Ferretti Group on the brink again

Second bailout for Ferretti


Royal Bank of Scotland and American hedge fund Strategic Value Partners (SVP) are to offer a huge cash injection into the Italian yacht builder Ferretti. The rescue plan suggested is the second for the Italian company in two years.


The bailout deal aims to invest between €150m and €180m (US$206m-US$252m), and to reduce the company's debt again, according to a report last week in Britain's Sunday Times newspaper.

The move follows a further cut in the Italian manufacturer's debt made by both financial institutions in 2009. They were part of a consortium of lenders to Ferretti that reduced the company's liabilities to approximately €600m (US$842m) from more than €1bn (US$1.4bn) in exchange for a 53 per cent stake.

The report also suggests other lenders have been given the opportunity to take part in the restructuring financing — if that offer is rejected RBS and SVP could end up owning a bigger slice of Ferretti.

The Italian yacht builders financial trouble dates back to the takeover by British private equity firm Candover. In 2007 the company financed the acquisition worth €1.1bn (US$1.5bn) almost entirely by a loan package. Then came the 2008/09 slump in sales.

"To this end, the Ferretti Group has already started talking to its main lenders, who have expressed their willingness to assess the possibility of such a restructuring process. With regard to the offer by Shandong Heavy Industry Group (SHIG), the Board of Directors of the Ferretti Group, while confirming the industrial validity of a possible deal with the Chinese company, deems that to date it still contains a number of elements of uncertainty, which therefore require further evaluation.The Ferretti Group therefore confirms its intention to continue to pursue discussions with counterparties with the aim to evaluate all opportunities. In terms of its business, despite the phase of contraction that the entire nautical sector is currently witnessing, the Ferretti Group continues to operate with the usual dynamism, taking part with its prestigious brands to all the main international nautical trade shows.
