About Archipelago III
M/Y Aurora is a 2022 Sanlorenzo SD118 — a tri-deck semi-displacement motor yacht that delivers on every measure that matters in this segment: range, volume, build quality, and finish. Refit in early 2024 with new tender garage doors, refreshed paint, and an updated Crestron AV stack.
The owner has spared no expense maintaining her. Engine hours are low for her age (1,240 / 1,265), and a full Lloyd's survey from December 2025 is available to qualified buyers. Twin MTU 12V 2000 M86s push her to 18 knots with a 4,200 nm range at 12-knot cruise — genuine ocean-crossing capability in a hull that's still nimble enough for the Med.
The interior is by Achille Salvagni — a study in restrained Italian luxury: walnut, bronze, marble, and natural fabrics. The owner's suite spans the full beam of the main deck with a private balcony and a master bath that's arguably the finest in her class. Four guest cabins below sleep 8 in genuine luxury, with separate crew quarters for 7 aft.
