Sanlorenzo introduced its SD122 – signifying “semi-displacement” and an LOA of 122 feet, or 38 meters – in 2008. This month it launched the third yacht in the series, Anastasia M.
Just like FX and Dancing Milly, the two prior SD122 deliveries, Anastasia M bears styling from Francesco Paszkowski. Each owner can tailor the interior, so these owners chose mahogany parquet soles paired with both pearwood and beech for bulkheads, a nice contrast. And what would an Italian-built yacht be without leather and suede on furnishings throughout the decks, including the three guest staterooms below?
While Sanlorenzo continues to finish Anastasia M, this video the yard produced gives you a better look at what the SD 122’s styling is like. It also showcases her performance, including a 12-knot cruise speed thanks to twin Caterpillars:

Time and additional expense can be saved by preparing the vessel for inspection and making her more accessible.
Arrange to present a clean, shipshape boat, and have all papers and miscellaneous gear ready. If applicable, you will need to make arrangements with the marina to haul the vessel for bottom inspection, and retain a captain for sea trials. Lockers and cabin areas should be cleared of all miscellaneous gear.
The surveyor should never be asked to prepare a boat for inspection. The surveyor may request minor dismantling of interior ceilings, headliners, flooring, etc. in order to gain access to the suspected areas. Random removal and examination of below-the-waterline fasteners on wood boats may be required. Any dismantling and re-installation of parts should be performed by qualified personnel and is the responsibility of the person ordering the survey.
Written authorization from the owner may be needed to board and/or to remove part of the vessel the vessel.
Once you retain the Surveyor, he or she works only for you and reports to no one else. The Surveyor is there to protect your interest.
Marine Yacht Surveying does NOT “pass” or “fail” vessels. The findings are reported, basic recommendations are given, and an opinion as to the “Fair Market Value” of the vessel is stated. As a buyer only you can determine whether the vessel meets your requirements based on our report.
Marine Yacht Surveying does NOT make insurance or financing decisions. The surveyor reports observations which insurance or financing companies take into consideration to arrive at their decisions.
Marine Yacht Survey Report should include:
● A detailed description of the yacht and its systems.
● Notes on conditions which affect the vessel’s value and suitability for its intended service
● Recommendations regarding safety, necessary repairs and maintenance.
● Estimated current fair market value of the vessel.
● Estimated replacement cost.
● Photographs of the vessel and any unusual features or problems.
When you go out boating you can go fishing, swimming, go just to get away and relax, and there are many other things you can do. A lot of people love to go boating because it is a way to get away from problems for a while and to have fun. Before you are to go out on any water source, heck the boat over make sure there are no leaks and everything is working right. Check over the engine, check the oil, gas, and check the condition of it structure itself. You will want it to work good so you will not get stuck out on the water.
You will want to make sure you have your safety gear like life jackets for each person on board, a whistle, lights, and a horn on the boat. Make sure each life jacket fits the passengers well, especially any have kids on board. You will need to have enough water and food on board for everyone.If your boat is motorized, make sure you have enough gas so you can get back. Always have a first aid kit on hand just in case of an accident.
Whatever you are going out boating for, you will need to have all your gear, make a list so you will not forget anything important. When you are out on the boat you will need to wear your life jackets the whole time just in case you fall in the water or if something happens. Another safety element you will need is a fire extinguisher on the boat. There are two types of fire extinguishers for boats they are type B and C. They two types are for the different things that can cause a fire in the boat.
There can be an electrical, oil, grease, or a gas fire and this is why it is necessary to have one board. Always have a map on board so you will know where you are going and where you are at. This way you will not get lost and so you will know where to go if someone gets hurt. When you get all this done, you can go out and enjoy the water. You can have a safe boating trip for your family and friends and you will be prepared for anything that may happen on your day on the water.
Finding the perfect boat is an undertaking for an experienced boater. For the first time boater, it can be a very difficult task to accomplish. To help you with your quest for the perfect boat, there are a few things you should know.
Deciding what’s important
Choosing the right boat is all about knowing what’s really crucial to you. You need to decide whether you’ll be using the boat for your own private use, fishing, or cruising. You should also consider your families feelings, as buying a boat for your own personal needs without consulting your family will probably lead to disappointing experiences or less time spent on the water.
Types of boats
Typically, boats will fall into five categories – fishing boats, power boats, sailboats, personal watercraft, and self powered boats. To help you find the perfect boat, we’ll take a look at what each one offers.
Fishing boats
The designs for fishing boats will vary quite a bit, as are the places you can use them. The boats that are meant for shallow waters of inland lakes and rivers are not the same boats meant for deep seas and great lakes. There are many different designs, even boats that serve no other purpose besides fishing.
These types of boats usually have stowage and holders for bait, fishing poles, tackle, and even special tanks to hold live fish. Other types of fishing only boats feature an open platform where anglers can fight fish from all sides of the boat.
Power boats
Power boats are the most popular boats sold. The designs with power boats are as varied as their uses. Boats with seating in the front are called bow riders, which are mainly used for towing skiers or rafts. Most boats can also be used for fishing as well. If you want to do both, there are ski and fish combinations available.
Sailboats
When you first learn to pilot a sailboat, it can be very challenging, although very rewarding as well. A sailboat requires more skill and knowledge to operate than boats, although they are considered more rewarding once mastered.
With all available sailboats, the single masted sloop is the most popular design. For those who only boat on occasion, catboats, daysailers, and dinghy’s are small and easily trailer-able.
When you finally decide on the perfect boat for you, look at what each one offers and how you plan to use it. The perfect boat for you is out there, all you have do is obtain the one that best matches your needs.
Choose a Professional Boat Transport Company experienced in moving your type of boat.
A successful boat transport company and their drivers must have combined experience working with DOT, permit agencies, marinas, boat yards, and ports to offers better savings to you by avoiding costly delays. Drivers are instructed not to move the load in any circumstance they regard as unsafe. At the sole discretion of the driver, he may decline to accept any load which he believes to be inherently unsafe for any reason. Experienced, dedicated drivers have the knowledge and driving skills to transport your boat safely and professionally. They are all highly trained and experienced at transporting over width and over height boats nationwide.
It is critical to the safety of your boat to be sure oversized yachts being moved use the required escorts and high poles when state regulations require them. Professional boat hauling and yacht transporting drivers know how the boat must be supported, balanced, stabilized and secured. They know how to properly distribute the weight on both the boat, and the trailer axels and how to correctly secure the boat to the trailer. The dispatcher must match the right boat trailer and driver for the proper transport of your boat. The driver will complete a thorough condition check of your boat prior to loading and again at offloading.
As you head into that ever so elusive horizon, you feel the cool crisp salt air on your face, and your yacht rises to meet the oncoming waves, you realize: “This is what life is supposed to feel like!” We totally get it! You see, we belong at sea too, which is why our yacht moving company is not only a business but a passion. So why settle for anything less than that incredible feeling of sailing your own “baby” into the great blue yonder anywhere in the world? You don’t have to. Because our yacht moving company meticulously and flawlessly handles every detail of getting your yacht to exactly where you want to be, so you can sail off into the horizon without a worry. With our varied yacht transport methods, our comprehensive yacht management services, and decades of experience, our yacht moving company is literally at your beck and call to meet every need.
● Having the boat ready to load when the truck arrives at its scheduled time. Besides having to pay the driver for unnecessary delay, this also causes the boat transporting company to get behind on the other boats they have scheduled for transport. Transport companies do their best to deliver the boat at the estimated time. However, this is an approximation only due to the many factors beyond their control such as weather, traffic, permitted re-routes, and availability of marina operations for loading and offloading schedules.
● Your participation and cooperation to prepare your boat for a safe transport as outlined in this document.
● Boat transport preparation done by an experienced boat yard. We recommend for boats 30 feet and up, the preparation be supervised or inspected by a licensed marine surveyor (see below for How to Prepare for a Marine Survey).
● Your understanding that transporters will not be responsible for damage to or caused from improper preparation or loading by the shipper for faulty or defective cradles, trailers, chains, binders, or other equipment provided by the shipper to secure the cargo. This includes anything that shakes loose, becomes unattached, drops, falls or breaks. Bear in mind these are not the result of driver negligence but are due to road vibration and high winds that are a normal part of boat transport and would happen no matter who was transporting your boat.
● Your consideration that if your boat is being moved at 60 miles per hour into a 14 mile per hour head wind, it is experiencing hurricane force conditions, as well as any inclement weather that may be encountered en-route. Please expect normal road dirt on the boat.
Before you invest in a new or used boat, you must understand that boating is an expensive hobby. You will have to spend time and money on the care and upkeep of your boat. You will also have expenses associated with docking and fuel. With that being said, there is nothing like the passion of sailing the seas, or going out into the ocean for a weekend of fishing, sea and sun. Weighing out all the pros and cons is something you must take the time to do. So that you understand some of the work required to keep your boat in tip-top shape, read the following boat maintenance guide. Please keep in mind that this general boat maintenance guide is intended only to give you an idea of the basic care needed by boats in general and is not by any means all-inclusive.
Know Your Boat
As mentioned above, this guide will only give you an idea, not an end-all be-all instruction for the maintenance of your boat. Your best bet is to research your specific make and model, including the year if your boat is older. Start your research by reading any manuals that may have come with the boat. If you purchased your boat used and it did not include an original owner’s manual, you may be able to get it directly from the manufacturer by visiting their Web site or by requesting a copy in writing. You may also be able to get a copy of the owner’s manual by calling the manufacturer directly and asking them to send it to you.
Read the owner’s manual thoroughly to find any information pertaining to regular care and maintenance of the boat. Realize that if you have an older boat, the information may be somewhat outdated in that you may wish to consult a professional such as a boat dealer or broker that specialized in your specific make and model.
Research the Web and try to find message boards and forums where boat owners that have similar boats to yours post about their experiences and how they deal with certain situations. You may find several boat owners willing to dish out advice specific to the care and maintenance of your boat. As with anything you read online, make sure to take any advice with a grain of salt and check your sources. If many boat owners are consistently giving the same advice, it is safer to assume that the information contained therein is accurate and good.
After researching your boat thoroughly, you should have a more accurate idea of the timing and specifics regarding the regular care and maintenance required by your boat.
Typical Maintenance
* Keep it Clean
A key step in maintaining your boat is to wash it regularly. Cleaning your boat regularly doesn’t only contribute to the looks of the boat, but also helps to protect your boat from the wear and tear inflicted by environmental conditions. Be sure to use only products that are earth-friendly. Also, wax your boat regularly to further protect the surfaces from the elements.
* Proper Mooring
Boats don’t only sustain scratches and dings from being used out on the water. Damage can appear on your boat’s body while docked if it is not moored properly. Make sure all lines are fastened securely and don’t show signs of wear or breakage.
* Battery Care
Check your battery regularly by inspecting its charge and fluid levels. Make sure that the area around your battery is clean and dry at all times.
* Regular Overall Inspection
Boats require regular inspection, as that is the only way to identify any problems or potential problems. Routinely check your boat’s controls, engine, cables, rudder, throttle. Always be on the lookout for loose fittings, fraying ropes or hoses/cables that are dry, cracked or brittle. It is easier to prevent damage to your boat when you are actively looking for little things that might cause damage in the future.
* Motor Maintenance
Follow best practices for motor care as outlined in your boat’s owner’s manual. Flush your engine after every use. Check fuel tanks and clamps for rust, damage or corrosion. Check the engine’s oil levels and cleanliness. Also keep an eye on your boat’s cooling system to ensure that it is working properly.
* Winterization
To protect your boat during the months that it’s not actively in use, you must take the proper winterization steps. Whether you are able to store your boat under shelter or not, you must check your boat’s owner’s manual for the proper techniques of winterizing your boat. If you are not familiar with what needs to be done to winterize your boat, enlist the help of a more experienced friend or contact your local boat dealer or broker for assistance.
* Bilge Pump
Don’t forget to check that your bilge pump is working properly. In case you do need to use your pump, you may need enough power to run it for an extended period of time. Make sure your battery system can support this.
* Electrical Systems
Keeping all of your boat’s electrical systems clean, dry and free from damage is crucial to the overall safety and well-being of your boat. Look for any signs of corrosion, and apply water-repellant grease protector to all fittings.
* Boat Covers
Investing in a boat cover can prevent much damage that can occur as a result of exposure to UV rays and the elements. Consider picking up a used boat cover, you can save some money and extend the life of your boat.
Trust the Pros
As with anything, if you are new to boating, you may wish to seek out the advice and assistance of professionals. Contact your local boat dealer or broker to get referrals for qualified technicians you can contract to help you maintain your boat. You may wish to put your boat on a regular maintenance schedule and keep a close eye on all systems between visits.
