Firefly

An explorer's stance built into a flybridge layout is the idea behind the Sanlorenzo SX76, and Firefly carries it through with conviction. Sanlorenzo delivered her new in 2025, and she lies in Nice today. The result reads as a yacht suited to a quiet weekend at anchor as much as a longer coastal passage.

Build and provenance

The SX76 is built in fibreglass on a monohull platform, and this example, Firefly, follows that construction, a straightforward base for the flybridge she carries above it. She was delivered new in 2025, so a buyer takes on a boat early in its working life rather than partway through a longer one. She measures 24 metres and 111 gross tonnes, dimensions that come through in the space below deck.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, including a full-beam master suite, and a crew of two attend to them from their own quarters. A dining table for eight and a wet bar and grill on the flybridge extend the living space up top, so meals and the view move outside as easily as they stay in.

Performance and engineering

Twin 900hp Volvo Penta engines give her a 16-knot cruise and a top speed of 22.5 knots, with a range of 615 nautical miles that puts more distant anchorages within reach on a single tank. Stabilisers work both at anchor and under way, keeping a night off a beach as settled as a run along the coast.

On deck and at anchor

A beach club at the stern brings the sea within a step of the swimming platform, and sunpads spread across the deck for the hours in between swims. A jet ski and seabobs are stowed aboard, so the toys are never far from the platform either.

Where she lies and how to see her

Firefly lies in Nice, France. Boatcrowd sets up viewings and is there for each one, and once a buyer's offer is accepted, a survey and sea trial follow before anything is final.
