Sanlorenzo 500Exp
About this yacht
The Sanlorenzo 500Exp represents a bold evolution in expedition yachting, transforming the concept of long-range exploration into a refined luxury experience. Launched in 2018, this 47-meter explorer yacht combines the rugged capability required for remote destinations with the sophisticated design and comfort that define modern superyacht travel. Built with a steel and aluminum hull and certified for unlimited ocean passages, the 500Exp extends the proven platform of her 460Exp predecessor with a lengthened aft deck capable of landing a small helicopter. This expansion enhances not only operational versatility but also significantly increases toy storage capacity, allowing owners to carry the equipment necessary for adventure in far-flung waters. At 9.6 meters in beam and displacing 500 tons, this motor yacht maintains the distinctive forward-positioned superstructure that gives Sanlorenzo's Explorer range its commanding presence. The design balances aesthetic refinement with practical functionality—clean lines and timeless proportions belie the vessel's serious expedition credentials. The connection to the sea defines the 500Exp experience. An indoor garage accommodates tenders up to 7 meters, while strategically positioned hull openings transform into expansive beach areas, creating intimate access to the water regardless of anchorage. This thoughtful integration of indoor and outdoor spaces allows guests to engage directly with their surroundings, whether anchored off a remote Pacific atoll or exploring the Norwegian fjords. Accommodating up to 20 guests across five cabins, with a draft of just 2.75 meters enabling access to shallow anchorages, the 500Exp reaches a maximum speed of 15 knots. This cruiser prioritizes range and stability over pace, designed for those who measure success in destinations reached rather than hours saved. The Sanlorenzo 500Exp redefines what an expedition yacht can be—a vessel equally prepared for crossing oceans and hosting elegant gatherings, where the journey itself becomes the destination.
