Unless you’re intimately involved with the yachting scene, take note that not all hulls are built the same. Many lavish vessels docked at the world’s most exclusive marinas do have limitations. Depending on the type, these opulent ships can handle coastal waters, open-sea crossings, and trans-oceanic trips. So far, expedition/explorer models like the 1150EXP are the ideal platform for challenging voyages.
The vessel in question comes off as just another sporty blueprint at first. However, the details paint a different picture. Sanlorenzo goes on to describe it as “the spirit of discovery and the freedom to explore the next horizon.” Meanwhile, technical specifications place the overall length at 197 feet, with a beam about 37 feet wide.
Checking the technical specifications, its 1150EXP namesake alludes to its 1,150 gross tonnage. A steel hull and aluminum superstructure equate to formidable seafaring even in rough conditions. Next up are the twin MTU 12V 4000 M63 engines pumping out approximately 2,012 horsepower. Its propulsion system helps the watercraft reach a top speed of 16 knots.
Taking into account a fuel capacity of 85,000 liters, we’re looking at a range of around 4,000 nautical miles when cruising at 11 knots. You’ll need a crew of 14 to fully man this superyacht. Depending on a client’s requested layout, it can accommodate up to 12 guests. In charge of personalization is the firm’s in-house style department.
Some of the suggested options include a 3,229-square-foot private duplex with terraces, a private pool, and a sunbathing area. As you can already guess, panoramic views are an established standard on the 1150EXP. Additional amenities can include a gym, an aft beach club with fold-out terraces, a garage for water toys, a helipad, and so much more.
