Seable&Co creates complete and bespoke exterior spaces combining craftsmanship, engineering and innovation to bring comfort and beauty to life on deck. We believe that the essence of yachting is found outdoors—where the sea, the elements, and the luxury of space come together.

What We Do – Founded in the Netherlands in 1982 where our legacy is build on craftmanship and innovation, we specialise in the engineering, and crafting of complete exterior areas. This includes fixed and loose exterior furniture, pools, deck finishes, cap rails, flag masts, outdoor kitchens, bars, cinemas and any other aspect that makes the exterior spaces on board of a yacht enjoyable. Every feature is tailored to the client’s vision and built to last in the marine environment.

Integrated & In-House – Our process is fully integrated: from consultancy and co-design to engineering, production, installation, and aftercare. With all expertise combined in-house, we ensure quality, consistency, and a seamless experience for our clients, including shipyards, owner’s reps, designers, and owners.

Design Meets Craftsmanship –Turning design ideas into reality with advanced technologies and a deep understanding of sustainable materials. Whether using natural teak, marble, stainless steel or modern composites. The best of both worlds means modern production technologies finished to perfection by the hands of our craftsmen.

Custom Comfort & User Experience – By focussing on how people actually use outdoor spaces every element is tailored to enhance enjoyment on board. In doing so we also consider the challenging outdoor environment and the operational considerations for crew. A multi disciplinary approach towards optimal comfort and user experience.

Innovation & Smart Solutions – New technologies and new materials are at the heart of what we do and under constant development through our in-house innovation studio. Technologies such as 3D printing allow us to engineer and built whirlpools and outdoor furniture not considered possible before and in a more sustainable way. Furthermore, we specialise in the integration of technical equipment to built outdoor kitchens, bars and cinemas.  Another example is the in-house developed water treatment for our pool systems to enhance guest safety on board.

Sustainability & Refit – Engineering and building long-lasting exterior features by using more sustainable materials and allowing the maintenance and upkeep of these features to be performed efficiently. Sustainability is the driver of our innovations studio where we work on sustainable decking finishes and further development of 3D printing possibilities to constantly work on reducing of our footprint.

Sanlorenzo has been manufacturing high-quality motor yachts since 1958 and represents a boutique market of the yachting industry. The Italian yard builds a limited number of made-to-measure units per year, each designed and produced according to the requests, the style and the desires of every single owner.

In 2005, Massimo Perotti acquired the Ameglia-based company from its founder Giovanni Jannetti and opened new production sites in Viareggio and La Spezia, with the latter dedicated to the newly established Superyacht Division. Since 2005, the shipyard has experienced extraordinary growth, while maintaining its focus on customizing every single yacht it delivers. In just over half a century, the shipyard has built more than 750 yachts – each one different from the next. Under the management of Massimo Perotti, Sanlorenzo’s turnover has increased from €40 million in 2005 to €200 million in 2010 – and has increased up to €300 million in 2016.

Today, Sanlorenzo’s production is based on 4 ranges of products: planing GRP motor yachts from 78ft to 118ft (SL line), GRP semi-displacement motor yachts from 92ft to 126ft (SD line), the new fast displacement line (SX), and superyachts in metal from 40 to 64 meters (Superyacht Division).

Notable yachts include the planing-hull SL118, exploration vessel 460EXP, which made its world première at the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show, and 52Steel, the 52-metre flagship of the Sanlorenzo fleet.

Sanlorenzo considers the following values to be the keys to its success: total customization; stable shapes over the trends without flashy stresses; highly skilled manpower; attention to detail; highest quality materials; latest solutions in terms of safety, comfort and performance.

In 10 years, the shipyard was able to climb the ranks of the prestigious Global Order Book, ranking third in the world’s top 20 superyacht builders over 24-meter yachts. Sanlorenzo’s sales network is based on a calibrated number of brand representatives, shipyard embassies in the most strategic locations of international yachting.
