Chameleon

A 29-knot top speed and a flybridge built as a social deck rather than an add-on set the tone for life aboard Chameleon: a yacht for a quick run to lunch and an afternoon at anchor, not a slow passage. Sanlorenzo built her in 2024 to an asymmetric layout that widens the main salon onto the portside rather than keeping it mirrored down the centreline, and living aboard means noticing that extra width every time you cross the room.

Build and provenance

Her hull is composite, with a GRP superstructure, and Zuccon International Project designed her. She was delivered in 2024 with no refit yet recorded, so a buyer takes on a young yacht with her service history still ahead of her.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, with a crew of three living apart in their own quarters to run the yacht around them, a compact ratio suited to day trips and long weekends rather than large house parties at sea. The master suite sits on deck rather than below, with direct access to the bow and skylights overhead, and amidships an atrium links the two guest decks together.

Performance and engineering

Twin MTU 12V 2000 M96L engines, each producing 1,920 hp, give her a 29-knot top speed and a 25-knot cruise, the numbers of a yacht built to plane rather than push through the water. Electric stabiliser fins hold her steady both under way and at anchor, and a Garmin navigation suite runs the technical side, a specification suited to a yacht taken out on short notice rather than planned weeks ahead.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the flybridge is the main gathering space, with a bar and a louvered sunroof that opens it to the weather or closes it off, and lounging that spreads from there down to the foredeck sunbathing area. Astern, a hydraulic swim platform lowers to the water for swimming and tender access, with floor-to-ceiling windows through the accommodation keeping the interior lit even when the day is spent outside. Air conditioning runs throughout below.

Where she lies and how to see her

Chameleon lies in Miami, USA. Boatcrowd arranges viewings and attends every one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, survey and sea trial follow before the yacht changes hands.
