Design & Construction
Designed around a semi-displacement GRP hull and superstructure she features a 8m beam and a 2.28m draft. The yacht is built over 2 decks with an internal volume of 270 GT (Gross Tonnes).
This was the first yacht built on the SX120 design.
Exterior Design
Gordonia I is hull 1 of the Sanlorenzo SX120, the largest yacht in the yard’s crossover range and a much more substantial proposition than the earlier SX models. At 37m (121.4ft) and around 270GT, she still keeps the low, architectural look that has become part of the SX family, with long horizontal glazing, a relatively restrained superstructure and a high bow carrying useful volume forward.
The stern is where most of the theatre happens. A huge beach area spreads across the full beam and opens further with fold down side terraces, taking the usable footprint from roughly 40m² (431sqft) to around 70m² (753sqft). A swimming pool is built into the aft platform and can disappear when not required, so the area can switch between open deck, lounging space and poolside terrace without permanently giving up floor area.
Immediately forward of the beach club is a lower lounge, set behind large glazed doors and closely tied to the guest cabins on the same level. That creates a very different relationship with the water from a conventional lower deck corridor. Guests step out of their cabins into a proper shared living space and then straight onto the beach area beyond.
The main deck aft is used for dining and relaxed seating, with a wide open terrace before the saloon. Forward, the owner’s suite has its own direct route to the bow, where a private terrace can be arranged with loungers and a small table. It is one of the better pieces of planning on the SX120 because the owner gets an outdoor area closely tied to the suite instead of sharing every exterior space with the rest of the yacht.
Higher up, the upper deck is another full social level, with indoor lounge and dining space opening onto a large aft terrace. Above that, the sun deck uses Sanlorenzo’s Smart Island furniture concept, with loose modular seating that can be rearranged for sunbathing, drinks or more informal gatherings. The yacht has a lot of outdoor space, but it is spread through distinct areas rather than repeated versions of the same aft lounge.
Interior Design
Piero Lissoni’s interior is typically architectural, with the structure and circulation doing more of the work than decorative detail. Wood runs across ceilings and selected bulkheads, parquet floors are mixed with carpet, and steel effect finishes introduce a slightly cooler note without making the rooms feel clinical.
The main saloon is broad and open, with two large seating groups arranged around the central circulation core. A dining area sits farther aft, close to the exterior terrace, while service spaces and the galley are kept around the middle of the yacht. The amount of glazing keeps views low and wide, which helps a yacht of this volume feel more open from inside.
The central staircase is one of the strongest interior features. It rises through the yacht as a sculptural element in timber and polished metal and gives the decks a clear visual connection. Instead of a series of isolated rooms connected by corridors, the interior reads more like a stacked sequence of open living areas.
The upper saloon is looser in use. A long sofa, dining area and open floor space allow the room to work as a media lounge, dining room or quieter retreat, and the wheelhouse sits directly forward.
Accommodation
Gordonia I accommodates 10 guests in five cabins, with the full beam owner’s suite forward on the main deck and four guest cabins below.
The owner’s suite benefits from the SX120’s broad forward section and large side glazing, with a central bed, walk in wardrobe and generous en suite. The private door onto the bow terrace is the key extra, giving the owner a proper outdoor extension of the cabin rather than simply a view forward.
Four guest cabins occupy the lower deck around the central lobby, with two doubles and two twins arranged either side of the yacht. Each has its own bathroom, and the layout keeps all four close to the lower lounge and beach club.
That lower deck arrangement is one of the more interesting parts of the yacht. The cabins are not buried behind a long corridor with the machinery aft. Instead, the guest accommodation opens towards a shared lounge and the beach area, so the lower deck feels more like a self contained guest level.
Crew accommodation for 6 is forward, with separate cabins, mess and service areas away from the guest rooms. The galley and technical spaces are also concentrated around this working end of the yacht, helping keep service routes out of the main guest circulation.
Performance & Capabilities
Gordonia I is the first superyacht to use Volvo Penta’s IPS Professional Platform, with four IPS3 1350 units producing around 1,000hp each.
The compact machinery package matters as much to the layout as it does to performance. By reducing the amount of space normally taken up by shafts and a conventional engine room, Sanlorenzo was able to free up more of the lower deck for guest accommodation, service spaces and that large waterside lounge.
Top speed is around 23 knots, with a cruising speed of roughly 20 knots. At 10 knots, range is quoted at approximately 2,000nm from 19,500 litres of fuel.
The IPS system also brings steerable pod drives, counter rotating propellers and Volvo Penta’s Eco Mode. The system can adjust how many engines are working according to demand, balance operating hours between them and reduce unnecessary fuel burn at lower loads. Selective Catalytic Reduction exhaust treatment is also fitted, cutting NOx emissions from the four diesel engines.
For Gordonia I, though, the interesting thing is not simply that the propulsion is a world first. The smaller machinery footprint has allowed Sanlorenzo to use the yacht’s 37m length differently, and a fair chunk of the space gained has gone straight back to guests.
