In occasion of the 23rd edition of the Miami Yacht & Brokerage Show 2011, the Italian Trade Commission, in collaboration with UCINA (Italian Marine Industry Association) awarded Sanlorenzo with the Nautical Design Award, recognition that the Italian shipyard distinguished itself by its efforts in promoting the “Made in Italy” brand in the USA.

Mr. Massimo Perotti, President Sanlorenzo, received the award because he has developed foreign markets and in particular the American one by founding Sanlorenzo of the Americas, with three locations promoting the “Made in Italy” brand.
The Nautical Design Awards is instituted by ADI (Association for the Industrial Design) which has a leading role in the development of the industrial design as a cultural and economic phenomenon.
SANLORENZO Spa
Sanlorenzo shipyards were established in Viareggio in 1958 and up to 1985 the production consisted of semi‐custom boats totally wooden‐made. In 1985, the first Sanlorenzo fibreglass flying bridge was born, the SL57. In 1999 the company moved to Ameglia into a natural park area (Sanlorenzo is certified “UNI EN ISO 14001” which guarantees the utmost respect for the environment). The lines of the Sanlorenzo fleet have always been extremely classic, never‐aging. In April 2005, Massimo Perotti took over from Giovanni Jannetti the shipyards that become Sanlorenzo Spa. Massimo Perotti, after bringing to completion many of the most original and successful products of the sector, decides to leave the industry figures where he had built his background to join a traditionof absolute perfection and small production numbers. The Sanlorenzo philosophy remains focused on “customization and total dedication to the customer, top notch quality and personal relationships”.
Today Sanlorenzo is based on two divisions: the Ameglia Division, for the production of fiberglass motor yachts ranging between 62 and 108 ft., and the Viareggio Division, for the production of navettas in composite material with semi‐displacement hull from 92 to 122 ft. and super yachts in metal (aluminium and steel), from 40 to 50 metres over.
