- The yacht's Hidden Engine Room (HER) maximizes living space by redesigning the layout, creating a spacious Ocean Lounge beach club while maintaining the vessel under the 500 GT mark.
- Part of Sanlorenzo's 'Road to 2030' decarbonization initiative, the Almax superyacht features a sleek design by Zuccon International Project, luxurious interiors by Piero Lissoni, and is powered by MAN engines for impressive speed and range.
The luxury yachting industry is embracing the decarbonization revolution by integrating green technologies to meet low- and zero-emission goals. Sanlorenzo's 50Steel series has set a new standard by launching the Almax, a 50-meter superyacht equipped with a green methanol fuel cell system developed in collaboration with Siemens Energy. This innovative system transforms green methanol into hydrogen to generate emissions-free electricity for the yacht's services without the need for storage of hydrogen on board. With the vessel powered by a MAN engine, it can reach impressive speeds and cover long distances, all while being environmentally friendly. The yacht's design focuses on maximizing interior space with features like the Hidden Engine Room (HER) that creates a generous Ocean Lounge beach club. Almax's exterior showcases Sanlorenzo's elegance with clean lines and a sporty look, while the interior offers luxurious accommodation including a master cabin, guest cabins, gym, and spa. As part of Sanlorenzo's commitment to decarbonization, the Almax is a step towards a sustainable future in luxury yachting.
