Scorpion

Three open deck spaces and a beach club give Scorpion room to spread ten guests across a gathering rather than crowd them into one, and a sauna and gym below turn a week aboard into more than transit between anchorages. Sanlorenzo built her in 2015 to the 46Steel specification, with an Art Deco-inspired interior anchored by a crystal sculpture staircase.

Build and provenance

Scorpion is a steel-hulled, aluminium-superstructure motor yacht, 46 metres overall with a 9.3-metre beam, built by Sanlorenzo in 2015 as a 46Steel. She is ABS classed and MCA compliant, classification a surveyor will confirm rather than take on trust.

Layout and accommodation

Five cabins sleep ten guests, and ten crew look after them, near enough one crew member per guest to run a full house without stretching. Three open deck spaces spread the socialising across the boat instead of concentrating it in one saloon.

Performance and engineering

Two 2,100 hp Caterpillar 3512B engines give Scorpion a 12-knot cruise and 16 knots at full power, the pace of a displacement motor yacht built to cover distance steadily. At-anchor stabilisers hold her still once the hook is down, which is what keeps the sauna and gym usable rather than theoretical.

On deck and at anchor

The beach club opens the stern to the water, and a bathing platform gives swimmers and the tender a second way on and off. The sauna and gym sit below, and video of Scorpion under way is available for a buyer who wants to see her move before flying out.

Where she lies and how to see her

Scorpion lies in Imperia, Italy. We set up viewings on site and are there for them, and once an offer is accepted a survey and sea trial follow before the sale completes.
