Sanlorenzo has launched six 500Exp superyachts since the new flagship replaced the builder’s 460Exp model. The 500Exp is a serious, MCA-compliant, bluewater-ready superyacht, built to cross oceans in luxury. HMY Yacht Sales has Arrow, a 2022 Sanlorenzo 500Exp, listed just shy of $32 million.
“Arrow is equipped with state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems allowing you to explore the world’s most beautiful coastlines, anchor in secluded coves, and embrace the sense of freedom and serenity that the open sea offers,” HMY says. “With its steel- hull construction, this Sanlorenzo 500 Explorer Yacht is capable of transatlantic travel, and the ability to explore remote destinations while offering luxurious comfort.”
Owners can expect a 4,000-nautical-mile range cruising at 11 knots, though the Caterpillar C32 diesels can push this 154-foot superyacht to a reported 15-knot top speed.
The yacht foredeck is accessed via the Portuguese bridge. Unlike many yachts today, Arrow’s foredeck is primarily used for PWC and tender stowage, which helps to keep the aft decks clear for entertainment and allows for an expansive beach club. The beach club utilizes the swim platform aft and a hydraulic fold-out terrace to port. It also has a day head, a flat-screen TV, a gym and a bar area with an ice maker and a refrigerator.
On the main deck, the salon’s formal dining space is aft with a lounge area forward. Sliding glass doors surround the dining area on three sides, while a table insert and two spare chairs allow all 10 guests to dine together. The lounge area has a six-person sofa with additional chairs.
The cockpit entertainment space on Arrow has been outfitted to stow a submersible, further cementing this 500Exp’s status as an explorer superyacht.
The sun deck is pure entertainment. Forward, a jacuzzi tub sits on the centerline and is flanked by lounge pads. Amidships, under the hardtop, is an L-shaped settee and an alfresco dining space for 10. Beyond the hardtop, the after section is used for sunning with four chaise-style lounge chairs.
The bridge deck has the pilothouse forward with the captain’s cabin amidships and the skylounge aft. The skylounge has an aft-facing, U-shaped settee and a flat-screen TV to catch the big game. Abaft the skylounge is an aft deck, which is partially shaded by the sun deck overhang and a sun shade.
After a long day in the sun and sea, riding in the submersible or the helicopter, retire to one of five staterooms. Owners will enjoy the on-deck master suite and its king berth. This suite takes full advantage of the superyacht’s 31-foot, 5-inch beam by keeping the living space aft and having the en suite head forward. A hydraulic terrace is to starboard for breakfast with a view. Four additional staterooms that sleep up to eight are belowdecks.
Where is Arrow located? The yacht is currently lying in St. Maarten,
