GATSBY - Sanlorenzo FOR SALE

Delivered new in 2021 and lying in the United States, this 96-foot luxury motor yacht pairs Italian pedigree with American poise. A Sanlorenzo-designed hull constructed in advanced fiberglass composite with GRP decks strikes a perfect balance of strength, efficiency, and poise, while twin MTU inboard diesel engines deliver the confident performance discerning owners expect—cruising smoothly at 22 knots and surging to approximately 28 knots when the horizon calls. With thoughtful tankage—about 2,736 gallons of fuel and 391 gallons of fresh water—she is purpose-built for extended cruising, transforming weekends into journeys and coastlines into playgrounds.

Inside, the ambiance is unmistakably bespoke. Marty Lowe’s interior vision elevates every moment aboard, weaving natural light, refined textures, and sophisticated finishes into a serene, contemporary retreat. The main salon welcomes with sweeping views and an effortless flow to dining and lounge spaces, while the accommodations cocoon up to eight guests in beautifully appointed suites, complemented by four luxurious heads. Every detail feels curated for comfort and conviviality, from quiet mornings over coffee to elegant dinners at anchor, all supported by the intuitive ergonomics and craftsmanship that define elite motor yachts.

Outdoors, her 22-foot beam gifts remarkable volume across sun-drenched decks designed for seamless living at sea. The broad aft terrace invites alfresco dining just steps from the water, the foredeck lounge sets the stage for sunset aperitifs, and the elevated bridge deck becomes a private resort underway, equally suited to open-air entertaining or lazy afternoons at anchor. Underway, the composite build and expert naval architecture confer reassuring seakeeping and a whisper-quiet ride, while the responsive helm inspires confidence whether island-hopping or stretching out on a longer passage. Elegant, powerful, and welcoming in equal measure, this 2021 motor yacht is a refined statement of taste—an invitation to travel beautifully.

Remarks

Delivered in 2021 by Sanlorenzo, GATSBY is a 96-foot SL96A motor yacht that showcases the yard’s acclaimed asymmetric design, unlocking greater main-deck volume, amplifying natural light, and fostering a more fluid connection between the salon, the owner spaces, and the sea.
