The SX76 joins a confident set of crossovers - the Wally wallywhy150, Arcadia Sherpa 80, Sanlorenzo’s own Bluegame range - but this one feels like something a little bit special.
The aft deck is wide and flat, but it still keeps the style. That’s the thing with the SX76 - utility out back, but Italian finish and sharp lines running right through the interior. Sanlorenzo’s gone bold with the layout. There’s no helm on the main deck. Instead, you get a forward dinette, a wide, open saloon, and big, panoramic views. It’s clean, social, and easy to move through. It’s IPS powered, which brings joystick control into play - a real advantage if you’re thinking about running a 24-metre yacht yourself.
Test & Review Video
Around the Marina
Bringing the SX76 into the marina is an interesting experience. Threading something of this size up a river like the Hamble takes some concentration, but the raised driving position does provide an excellent view. You do lose a bit of sight along the sides, though, and there’s only one external camera fitted, pointing aft. If you were handling the boat yourself, you’d probably want to add a couple more - cameras on either side would be helpful, and one on the bow wouldn’t go amiss either.
The drop-down windows on either side are useful for docking, as they’re both electric. This means you can lower the glass to hear what’s going on or communicate with the crew. You can easily lean out on the starboard side, and on the port side, it’s a quick glance down to check your distance, but you’re still relying heavily on the cameras. There is a second joystick back in the cockpit hatch to be used when mooring stern-to if you’re operating in the Med or somewhere similar. The only drawback is that from down there, you don’t have much of a view forward to the bow.
What you don’t get on this boat is any classic lower helm - that’s part of the compromise of this open-plan main deck design. It’s a trade-off, but you’re rewarded elsewhere. When it comes to manoeuvring, it’s classic IPS - knock it into neutral, pick up the joystick, and the boat responds cleanly.
Working the joystick, the twin 900hp engines do the hard graft, shuffling the boat around with just the right amount of power. Joystick control is responsive, and up at height, you’re nicely insulated from the engine noise - the only real clue the boat’s moving is the wash you can just pick out on the aft camera. There’s a bow thruster fitted, but it might be better to upgrade to a proportional unit. The standard electric thruster works fine, but having the extra finesse is a real benefit if you’re dealing with stronger sidewinds.
At Sea
The Sanlorenzo SX76 moves through the rev range with the sort of composure you’d expect from a fast displacement hull. There’s no hump to push through - just a progressive build-up of speed. It’s one of the reasons the SX76 delivers such a calm, settled ride, slicing through the water with no fuss. Even at around 20 knots, there’s very little sensation of speed. The boat has that grand touring character - long-legged, refined, perfect for moving comfortably from A to B. With the helm fully enclosed and the deck so well insulated from noise, any conversations can carry on at speed.
It’s also worth noting that the SX76 is CE Certified Category A: Ocean. That puts it in the toughest category of classification, meant for yachts over 12m (40ft), designed to handle offshore passages. Officially, this means it’s rated for seas up to 7m (23ft) and winds up to Force 9 - serious weather.
Top speed sits at around 22.5 knots, not blistering, but she's so happy at cruising speed, it doesn't matter. At the upper end, range is still impressive - close to 300nm - and throttling back to around 9 knots stretches that to roughly 700nm.
The SX76 finds the spot between 12-18 knots - it’s here that the boat feels particularly settled and efficient. What’s impressed most is how effective the Sleipner fins have been, especially at rest. The SX76 carries quite a bit of weight up high, but even in the choppy anchorage we had towards the end of the day, the boat stayed remarkably steady.
Handling is deliberately relaxed. The wheel is light, and the response is smooth and steady - not something to hand-steer through long passages but more than capable when you need to make course adjustments or steer around objects. The SX76 is designed to work with the autopilot to do the heavy lifting - set the speed to match the sea state, and the boat will manage itself.
The helm layout reflects this. It offers excellent visibility forward, supported by camera feeds and a clear chart view, though the helm geometry could have been refined further. It’s a comfortable driving position, but not the sharpest arrangement Sanlorenzo has ever produced.
The SX76 is a wafty, long-range Grand Tourer. There’s space at the helm for just one other passenger, with the rest of the flybridge seating arranged further aft under the shelter of the hardtop. Despite the boat’s 24-metre length, it’s an easy yacht to manage.
The IPS drives, paired with joystick control, make tight handling straightforward, and while the upper helm is the only driving position on board, the setup feels manageable. It’s a big boat that doesn’t feel overbearing, though full visibility aft relies on the camera system rather than direct sightlines.
The SX76's exterior comes from the Zuccon International Project studio - the same team that designed the superyacht Chopi Chopi and the rest of the SX range. Their work here is all about balance: carefully managed volume, beautifully curved topsides, and just enough architectural detail to make the hull feel sculptural without over-complicating it. The hull rises strongly forward to a high bow, but then sweeps down towards the stern, slimming the overall profile. And that flow carries through the whole boat – you see it in the soft curvature of the side decks and the glazing that wraps into the superstructure.
Internally, one of the key elements is flexibility. Owners can work closely with Sanlorenzo’s design team to personalise almost every aspect: interior woods, fabrics, furniture layout, galley arrangement – it’s open to interpretation. The yacht can be finished in light modern tones or with darker, cosier materials - the shipyard’s bespoke programme is at the heart of the SX philosophy.
The SX76 sits firmly in the crossover space, sharing similarities with flybridge yachts and also the new generation of compact explorers. That’s most evident in the wide, open aft deck. There’s no tender garage here; instead, the deck is left clear to carry a substantial tender and jet ski side by side, with space left over for Seabobs, paddleboards, and other water toys.
Beneath the carbon fibre superstructure is a carefully engineered hull built in GRP using advanced lamination and infusion processes. The semi-displacement hull is versatile, happy to cruise at 20 knots or settle into displacement speeds for more economical passages.
The SX76 is the smallest model in Sanlorenzo’s SX range, carrying the same core design language and layout philosophy as the larger SX88 and the upcoming SX120. Where the SX88 feels more like a floating villa – with greater volume, a larger flybridge, extended layout options, and the capacity for a full beach club - the SX76 scales things to a size that’s more manageable for owners.
Both yachts share key signatures: the single flybridge helm, the open-plan main deck, and the connection between interior and exterior spaces. But the SX76 refines these features for the way owners typically use a yacht of this size - still offering four cabins, a generous aft deck, and flowing deck levels, but in a footprint that feels more personal, easier to berth, and comfortably operated without the need for a large crew.
Engine Room
One trade-off with that wide, flat aft deck on the Sanlorenzo SX76 is that it sits directly over the engine room. For access, there’s a main door plus an emergency hatch, but once you’re inside, space quickly tightens up. When you first step into the engine room, there’s good headroom and easy access to the generators on either side. Getting to those is straightforward.
But as you move further in, around the twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS1050 engines themselves, things get pretty cramped. Pod access is good, but getting over to the sides and across the top of the engines is much less convenient. It’s a tight space right through to the back of the engine room.
That said, the installation is spot on - clean, well finished, and very well laid out. The white chequered plate makes it easy to spot any leaks or spills, and the engineering here is very thorough. There’s strong redundancy throughout, with layers of filtration on both the generators and the main engines, plus clear sight gauges for the fuel system. It's just a bit snug.
The interior of the Sanlorenzo SX76 is wide open to owner choice - woods, colours, finishes, layout, furniture. etc - it’s all bespoke. The test boat's layout is typical, with a long sofa on one side and a storage block opposite, which houses an 18-bottle wine fridge. There’s a TV that slides out from the opposite side of the sofa as well.
Light floods in through the big windows - the broken topsides help with that - and the view connects you to the water even from deep inside the saloon. The galley is carefully positioned, with a smart balance between social and privacy. It can be fully open, ideal for family use, or fully enclosed to create a crewed setup. The two-person crew cabin below works neatly with this flexible arrangement.
The galley design has a clean marble countertop with fiddled edges, a well-placed window for fresh air, and full domestic appliances. There’s a big Samsung fridge-freezer and a full-size dishwasher, which isn’t always the case on boats of this type. Additional fridge and ice maker units are in the dining area.
The dining space itself is set right forward, fringed with storage, with panoramic side windows and a steeply raked screen ahead. From the table, you can see straight out over the bow, which is lovely. Sanlorenzo also offers a country kitchen layout, where you lose the formal dining table and gain an open-plan galley with a kitchen island.
Most owners stick with the closed-galley layout, but the country kitchen could be nice for more casual/family use. Unlike on the Princess X80, you can’t fit a cabin in this space - all the sleeping areas are downstairs. But a tempting idea would be to add a smoked glass ceiling panel to draw even more light into this already bright space.
The Sanlorenzo SX76 has a four-cabin, four-bathroom layout. The structure is set - a full-beam owner’s cabin amidships, a forward VIP, and twin cabins on either side of the central passageway. But the detailing is where the owner’s personality comes through - from the colours and furniture choices to the finishes and fabrics.
Owner's Cabin
Shut the door of the midships owner's cabin, and the difference is immediate. It’s more like a bank vault than a yacht door, and once it’s shut, the outside fades away. The generators may be running, the electric fins steadying the boat, but you barely notice. Even in a bit of chop, the hull stays quiet - no slapping sounds to disturb the piece.
The twin porthole-style windows open - rare on a boat of this size - and they bring a connection to the sea. The option to run fresh air through the cabin is there if you want it. These windows look good inside, and they sit well in the exterior styling, too.
There’s practical storage around the room at knee level, under the bench, and in the bureau - but the walk-in wardrobe is the highlight. It’s full height, air-conditioned with space for hanging, drawers, shoes, bags, and a safe. In this layout, you keep the bureau - a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view - though you can have a version with the bathroom folded into the cabin if you prefer. This separate bathroom works well as it adds another sound buffer between the cabin and the working spaces.
The bathroom itself is smartly arranged, with a long shower cubicle, a marble seat, good headroom, a rainfall shower head, and plenty of storage. It’s a quiet, luxurious cabin, finished to a typically high Sanlorenzo standard.
VIP Cabin
Forward, the Sanlorenzo SX76’s VIP guest cabin does things a little differently. We’re used to seeing the bed pointing towards the bow, but here it’s set across the cabin. It’s a nice touch - you get loads of flat floor space around the bed, and there’s a big open area at the foot where you can get changed properly without having to edge around the furniture.
The portholes are a good size and they both open, so you can get a bit of natural breeze running through on top of the air con. There’s a little seating spot as well - not quite a chaise longue as the backrest is a bit upright - but it’s a handy place to sit that isn’t the bed. Behind that, the TV pops up when you want it and disappears when you don’t - just right for watching from under the covers.
The bathroom’s a lovely space. The shower’s a good size with a rain head, and the marble-topped vanity is nicely finished with plenty of storage underneath.
Twin Cabins
A couple of steps up takes you to the first twin on the port side, where the berths are fixed, though sliding berths are available if you want the option to make a double. The cabin feels fresh and open, with good headroom, storage over the bed, a full-length mirror, and an auto-illuminated hanging locker. There’s a discreet TV tucked behind the door, individual climate controls, and bedside switches for lighting and blinds. The ensuite here is a smart use of space - it doubles as the day head, with direct access from the passageway for guests.
On the starboard side, the second twin offers the same feel but has a fully private ensuite with no external access. Sanlorenzo hasn’t cut corners, as even in the guest bathrooms, there are marble finishes and the detailing is excellent throughout. The darker wood finish might create a more intimate feel, but the lighter scheme used here keeps the space bright and modern. Throughout, you notice the weight and quality of every fixture - the doors, the handles, even the simple mechanics of closing lockers.
Crew Accommodation
The crew cabin on the Sanlorenzo SX76 is accessed from the cockpit, through a door that also leads you straight into the engine room. It’s a compact, tucked-away space, but it’s been set up with the basics in mind. The bathroom is right at the bottom of the steps - it’s a wet room, so there’s no separate shower cubicle and things are likely to get a bit splashy when you’re using it.
This is where you’ll find the washer-dryer as well. There’s no laundry space up in the guest accommodation on this boat, though you could probably spec one if you wanted to. Without crew, this area works well as a standalone laundry room. If you do run with crew, they’ve got two bunks through here - basic, practical, no frills. There’s no mess area; it’s strictly for sleeping.
What’s good about this layout is the direct connection through to the engine room via a watertight door.
Let’s get the grumbles out of the way first. The wheel is fixed, which is a shame. The bench is fixed too. And the throttles and screens are just a bit too far away. You end up leaning forward, on the edge of the seat, rather than sitting back and feeling in control. The joystick’s fine where it is - you’re usually standing to use that anyway - but the throttles should be closer.
The MFDs are a little out of reach as well. You’ve got three screens, which is great, but the remote that controls them is placed up high. It’d make much more sense to have that down within easy reach, so you’re not leaning forward every time you want to adjust something. Small tweaks - but they’d make a big difference.
Now, onto the good stuff. This is a brilliant place to drive the boat from. The IPS system keeps things quiet to start with, but you’re so far away from the engines here, you hardly hear them. Even with a bit of chop and a steady 20-25 knot breeze, you feel properly insulated. It’s open, but you’re well protected.
The view through that curved, pillarless windscreen is excellent. Sightlines to the bow are great, and even with the slightly awkward seating, it’s still a comfortable driving position. Cruising at 18-19 knots, you’re only getting around 65 decibels up here (equal to motorway speeds in a car).
The aft deck on the Sanlorenzo SX76 is a working space at heart. There’s room to set up stand-up paddleboards, windsurfers, hoverboards - whatever you want to bring. No built-in clutter to get in the way, and there’s a 700kg crane hidden in the buttress, ready to handle a decent-sized tender like a Williams SportJet 395, plus a Jet Ski and still leave room for Seabobs and smaller kit.
This deck works well for side-by-side storage – you can launch one toy or all of them without the usual shuffle. And often, when the boat’s rolling a little, a crane connection is easier to handle than trying to line something up on a moving platform. Still, the central section here does also drop down into the water, not for lifting toys but as a bathing platform and an easy step into the sea. There’s also a passerelle that forms a staircase into the water, or up to the quayside.
Usually, you’d set out freestanding furniture each time you stop, but Sanlorenzo offers the option to fit fixed seating across the transom, trading a bit of storage for a ready-to-use deck. A pop-out grill would be the perfect finishing touch down here - something like the aft deck on the Sunseeker 90 Ocean, though cooking on the flybridge is still an option. For shade, parasols can slot into the deck, but for actual shelter, you’ve got that mezzanine cockpit above.
Mezzanine Cockpit
Firstly, it’s easy to get on board to this raised position as there are boarding gates on both sides, so if you’re side-to, you can step straight on. The fuel fillers are behind little lockers - a clean setup that’s easy to get at.
As it's elevated, you’re just a little bit removed from the action. The water sports, the swimming, all the noisy fun is happening down at the waterline, while this high cockpit gives you a calm spot to sit back and take it all in.
There’s a really useful storage hatch on one side for stashing cleaning kit, deck shoes, covers - all the bits you need but don’t want lying about. There is also a really nicely engineered docking station here. You’re raised just enough to get a clear view over the stern, you can see the winches and cleats clearly, and you’re close to the crew while you’re manoeuvring.
Side Decks & Foredeck
The side decks on the Sanlorenzo SX76 are easy to move around - wide, well-finished, and nicely protected. The metalwork gives a bit of structure, and the high bulwarks offer solid security even though the decks are fairly open. Life rafts are mounted to either side, cleverly positioned in hinged compartments that release automatically when they hit the water.
There’s a side door leading directly into the saloon and an internal staircase to the top deck. That’s key - there’s no staircase in the cockpit, so access to the upper deck happens from here. It’s a detail that really shapes the flow of the boat.
Right up on the foredeck, there’s a generous social space. Even though the wheelhouse pushes quite far forward, Sanlorenzo has still carved out a lovely sunbathing area, with space to stretch out and built-in tables to perch with a drink. The angled backrests set the tone - this is a spot to recline and relax. They’ve gone a step further, too - the tops of the anchor equipment have been covered with removable cushions, turning another bit of deck into extra lounging space when the anchors aren’t being used.
Above the wheelhouse, there’s a large flat section that seems like a wasted opportunity. Perhaps some solar panels - or even a glass section to bring light into the dining area below.
Flybridge
Access to the flybridge on the Sanlorenzo SX76 is internal only, and you can close it off with a door if you want a bit more separation. The flybridge itself is semi-open, fully enclosed with glass around the front but still letting plenty of light in through the vane-style sunroof. It’s air-conditioned too, with vents tucked along the structure, and the whole space can be sealed and cooled when needed. This is the main external dining area on board - the teak table opens up, and the seating layout makes it easy to gather around. You can pull in director’s chairs and add a few more seats to fit everyone comfortably.
Opposite the dining area, there’s a wet bar with useful storage and a fridge tucked underneath. The lounging space aft is a flexible spot - you might choose to set it up with a coffee table or just leave it open for casual seating. Although it’s in full sun, there’s the option to rig a sail-style canopy here using carbon fibre poles - the same system can be used on the bow to shade the forward sunbeds.
The base price for the SX76 is €5,500,000 excluding VAT (correct at time of writing), and as it's very bespoke, each one is going to be different. It comes with a pretty healthy standard spec, but obviously, you can add lots of options; our test boat, for example, has around €850,000 worth of cost options fitted.
Our Options & Pick
Some of the main ones we would add include: Raymarine Diamond electronics package, the sunroof, aft sun awning, teak decking, electric side windows, flybridge air-conditioning, lift swim platform, second joystick, fin stabilisers, and an additional 27kW generator.
Regarding value for money, the SX76 isn't cheap, but when you consider the quality of its construction and the fine detail on board, teamed with an almost unrivalled level of customisation in this size and sector, the price point makes more sense.
Our Verdict
There are a couple of things that won’t suit everyone. Having just one helm station won’t be for all buyers - some will want the option to steer from the deck below. And while I like how it feels from this helm, it’s not perfect. It’s close, but with a little more refinement, the driving position could be even better.
But the more time you spend with this boat, the more it shows you what it’s for. That aft deck isn't just somewhere to sit with a drink - it’s also a flexible working space that makes using the toys easy. You’re not squeezed onto the bathing platform or limited to a tender garage - you’ve got room to set up, launch, and really enjoy them.
It’s also a boat that feels within reach to run yourself. It doesn’t overwhelm, and the IPS system gives you that manageable feel when you’re handling her in tight spaces. Yes, there are always a few quirks with single-helm setups, but this feels like a boat that won’t get away from you.
And there’s how it looks. This thing turns heads. Sure, any 75-foot yacht is going to make a bit of an entrance, but coming into Cowes in this is like rocking up to your local golf club in a Cybertruck. You don’t sneak in. People stop, they look, they get their phones out. If you’re not up for that, it might not be your boat, but it is very cool.

Rivals to Consider
There’s no mistaking the Wally wallywhy150 - it’s a bit of a rule-breaker. At 23.99m long with a 6.78m beam, this is a yacht that prioritises interior volume over sleek lines. That’s part of the charm. The main deck owner’s suite stretches the full beam, sitting right forward - not something you’d usually find on a yacht of this size. The Sanlorenzo SX76, by contrast, sticks to a more classic lower-deck master. On performance, the Wally is a steady cruiser - three Volvo Penta IPS1200s give it a top speed of 21 knots, or you can upgrade to IPS1350s and squeeze out 23 knots. But speed isn’t Wally’s game. Its trump card is that vast open aft deck, no barriers - a ‘sit-back-and-soak-it-up’ space.
The Arcadia Sherpa 80 is a yacht that feels more like a floating beach house than a traditional flybridge cruiser. It’s 24.61m long with a big, square 6.98m beam, and that beam carries all the way forward. The standout feature is solar panels stitched into the superstructure, feeding the hotel loads to keep generator use in check. Powered by twin Volvo IPS1050s, the Sherpa can reach 23 knots, but it’s happiest around 12-16 knots, settled into a quiet, efficient cruise. The SX76 feels more agile, a little sportier with its semi-planing hull. Inside, the Sherpa plays it wide open. The saloon and cockpit are effectively one space. The Sherpa leans into big outdoor volumes, low environmental impact, and that relaxed, house-on-the-water vibe.
The Numarine 26XP has adventure in its bones. It’s the toughest of the bunch here. The full-displacement version cruises at 9 knots and can cover up to 3,000 nautical miles on a single tank. Even the semi-planing model maxes out at a modest 13.5 knots with its twin 560hp MAN engines. The SX76, by contrast, offers faster coastal hops and a semi-planing ride, but it’s not a long-distance boat in the way the 26XP is. Accommodation is similar: both offer four guest cabins, but the Numarine’s spaces feel sturdier, designed for longer spells on board.
The Princess X80 takes the super flybridge concept and runs with it. Stretching to 25.18m with a 6.06m beam, the X80 offers a huge upper deck that sweeps nearly the full length of the boat - a change from the SX76’s more modest flybridge. Power comes from twin MAN V12s, with up to 1,650hp each, nudging the X80 towards 31 knots at full throttle. That’s comfortably quicker than the SX76’s 22-knot top speed, though most owners will settle into a 20-24 knot cruise. The X80’s main deck layout really pushes things – you can spec a forward owner’s suite with elevated views, something the SX76 can’t offer with its lower deck master. There’s also the Sky Lounge, a signature Princess feature, where sliding doors open up the upper saloon into a breezy, hybrid indoor-outdoor space. The SX76 feels more tightly drawn, more connected to the sea at deck level, while the X80 trades some of that intimacy for volume and long-range versatility. Different flavours, but both cleverly owner-orientated.
