Lady A Yate a motor

A full-beam owner's suite on the main deck is the layout decision that shapes everything else aboard Lady A. Sanlorenzo built her in 2019, and Francesco Paszkowski drew both her exterior and interior, a single hand across the whole boat. She is offered for sale from Dubai.

Build and provenance

Lady A belongs to Sanlorenzo's Alloy series, an aluminium-hulled, aluminium-superstructure motor yacht with a 7.9-metre beam, exterior and interior both drawn by Francesco Paszkowski. Having one designer responsible for both means fewer seams between how the boat looks from the water and how it feels once you are aboard, and for a buyer that consistency is the point of an Alloy series yacht.

Layout and accommodation

The owner keeps the whole main deck, a suite that stretches the full width of the hull with a dressing room and two separate bathrooms, and steps out on either side onto its own stretch of balcony. One deck down, a VIP sits at the bow with a pair of double cabins and a twin close by, five cabins in all for ten guests and a crew of six to run the boat. Glass doors the height of the room let the main salon spill onto a pair of those balconies, so the sitting area and the water outside sit almost level. Two more balconies fold out elsewhere on the boat, four in total, a fit more commonly seen on yachts considerably larger than her. Up top, the bridge deck opens through gull-wing doors onto a dining table, a bar and a sunbathing pad, while a sheltered deck at the bow adds sunken lounge seating for the quieter hours.

Performance and engineering

Twin MTU engines give Lady A a 20-knot cruise, carried by an aluminium hull and superstructure, at 338 gross tonnes, built for a semi-displacement platform. That combination favours a comfortable, settled cruise, with the stability an aluminium semi-displacement hull is built to hold at pace.

Where she lies and how to see her

Lady A lies in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Tell us when you would like to see her and we will set up the viewing and join you for it; from there, an accepted offer leads to a survey and a sea trial before she is yours.
