JOHN

JOHN is a 30.55-metre planing motor yacht built by Sanlorenzo in 2011 to the SL100 specification, with exterior design by Francesco Paszkowski Design. The SL100 represents a significant model in Sanlorenzo's mid-range production portfolio — a yacht that bridges the informal performance sensibility of a fast day-boat with the amenity standards expected for extended cruising.

She accommodates 9 guests across 4 cabins with a crew of 5, a complement suited to a small family or social group comfortable with an intimate atmosphere. Service will be attentive by the standards of a 30-metre vessel, though guests accustomed to the crew depth of larger yachts should adjust expectations accordingly. JOHN operates across an extensive Mediterranean charter region covering the French Riviera, Amalfi Coast, Corsica, Sardinia, Portofino, Ligurian Riviera, Monaco, and the Cannes and St Tropez coastlines — a territory that rewards pace and range. She is less suited to guests requiring transatlantic repositioning capability or large social decks.

Built on a GRP planing hull, JOHN achieves a cruising speed of 20 knots and a maximum of 28 knots. The Paszkowski exterior design is characterised by flowing lines and a well-integrated profile, consistent with the SL100's reputation as one of the more aesthetically resolved production yachts of its generation. Sanlorenzo's construction standards in GRP are consistently regarded as among the best in Italian production building.

Underway stabilisers reduce fatigue on longer coastal passages, while air conditioning, satellite television, and Wi-Fi meet standard connectivity expectations for a charter of this class. The water sports inventory — water skis, towable inflatables, kayak, and snorkelling equipment — provides sufficient scope for active days at anchor in the coves and bays along the Ligurian and Tyrrhenian coastlines. For guests whose priority is covering significant cruising ground with comfort and without delay, JOHN is an honest and capable choice.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
