SHARE
The Italian shipyard’s 44.3m X-Space superyacht is distinguished by a vast, open aft main deck with a swimming pool and balconies.
Sanlorenzo has presented the 44X-Space following delivery of the series’ first two hulls including La La Land, which is part of IYC’s charter fleet and managed by Antonela Pericic, Head of Charter Management – Croatia.
Zuccon International Project designed the exterior of the six-level, 499GT yacht, which has an overall length of 44.3m (145ft), a beam of 8.3m (28ft) and a full-load draught of 2.8m (9ft 2in). Featuring two 1,450hp Man 12V engines, the 44X-Space has a top speed of 15 knots and an estimated range of 4,000nm at 10 knots with a fuel capacity of 54,000 litres.
The distinctive design includes an expansive aft main deck featuring a sea-facing swimming pool and two drop-down sides that deploy directly above larger, lower-deck balconies, which open each side of a full-beam beach area featuring a gym and spa.
Piero Lissoni, Sanlorenzo’s Art Director, handled the interior, which includes accommodation for 12 guests in five cabins and for nine crew.
“On 44X-Space, the hand has been forced and it has become an almost completely glass boat. There are large glass panes, large windows and some of the cabins no longer even have portholes but glass walls. The interior has forced its hand on the exterior and the exterior has been so elastic and so well designed that the interior almost fits in in a totally natural way.
“I believe this is the most innovative language I’ve seen to date on a superyacht. It has made it possible to create a boat that’s compact but with extraordinary proportions and the unique quality of Sanlorenzo.”
The main deck includes a large saloon and a full-width forward room that can be configured as a media room with a bar (as on La La Land), a formal dining room or a sixth guest cabin. The lower deck houses four en-suite guest cabins, as well as the crew quarters, while the tank deck houses the technical area.
The upper deck or owner’s deck has a covered cockpit that connects to a sky lounge, where the aft doors can slide out of sight and a side window can open to create a veranda. Forward is the owner’s suite, which has an openable skylight, 270-degree views through full-height windows, and access through sliding doors to a foredeck with sun beds and a spa pool.
A helicoidal staircase designed by Lissoni links the lower, main, upper and bridge decks. The bridge deck includes the wheelhouse and the captain’s cabin, while the open aft deck features outdoor lounging and dining. There’s also access to the sun deck, which has loose sun beds aft and a covered, integrated sunbathing area forward.
