34m Sanlorenzo Christina Sold With Northrop & Johnson Representing Buyer
Northrop & Johnson has announced the sale of the 34-metre Sanlorenzo SD112 Christina, with broker Ed Dickinson representing the buyer.
Royal Yacht International is marketing the 54m Mangusta VELOCITY at €29.5 million after a 2025 survey and a major 2026 upgrade programme.
Royal Yacht International is offering VELOCITY, a 54-metre Mangusta GranSport 54 delivered in 2020. The brokerage's current yacht page lists an asking price of €29.5 million and identifies Camilla Maurizio as the sales broker. An October industry update has returned attention to the yacht, whose aluminium construction, sporty profile and long-distance cruising aspirations place her among the more distinctive fast superyachts on the market.
The latest figure should be checked directly with the broker, because a separate Royal Yacht International announcement from earlier in 2026 carried a different asking price. The current listing establishes that the yacht is being marketed, not that a new transaction has been concluded. Buyers should confirm location and availability before arranging a viewing.
The yacht belongs to the Overmarine Group's Mangusta GranSport 54 series, the yard's flagship in the series, with exterior and interior styling by Alberto Mancini. The builder's naval architecture was developed with PierLuigi Ausonio Naval Architecture. VELOCITY combines a low, athletic silhouette with large openings and outdoor guest spaces, intending to reconcile speed with the facilities of a yacht used for longer stays.
The build is all aluminium, which helps distinguish this yacht from smaller composite performance craft. Material choice alone does not determine the maintenance profile, however. A purchaser will want surveys covering hull condition, coatings, any galvanic-corrosion management measures and the quality of previous repair work. The naval design is only one component of the technical assessment required before purchase.
Royal Yacht International says the yacht completed a five-year survey in August 2025 and received more than $5 million in upgrades during 2026. Those are substantial claims that merit inspection of class records, project scopes and invoices. The brokerage positions them as evidence of continued investment in the vessel, complementing her original 2020 construction.
The term upgrades can refer to varied work, including improvements to guest areas, mechanical equipment or onboard technology. Interested buyers should request an itemised description of what was carried out, who supervised it and whether the relevant works were accepted by class or flag authorities where required. An announced expenditure figure is useful context but does not replace a condition survey.
The published arrangement accommodates up to sixteen guests across seven ensuite cabins, including a full-beam owner's suite on the main deck and two spacious VIP rooms. The owner accommodation includes a fold-down balcony, bringing the outside closer to the private interior suite. With a reported volume of about 497 gross tonnes, VELOCITY provides generous guest space without extending beyond 54 metres in length.
The guest number quoted in a brokerage specification should be distinguished from any commercial passenger limit. Registration, certification and the intended type of operation may affect how many people can legally be carried. A prospective purchaser considering charter use should establish the vessel's approved operating regime before relying on the marketing layout for commercial planning.
The design incorporates a sizeable beach club with fold-down transom and side platforms. On deck, a glass-enclosed forward Jacuzzi is surrounded by sunpads, while the bridge deck aft is arranged for alfresco dining. These features spread social activities across the yacht and offer alternatives for different sun and wind conditions during a day at anchor.
Platforms close to the sea improve access to water activities but require disciplined use when tender traffic or swell is present. Owners should review the moving structures' mechanical systems and sealing arrangements, as well as the crew procedures used to control them. The layout can be an asset during Mediterranean cruising, although practical comfort will depend on anchorage conditions.
According to the broker's current specification, VELOCITY cruises at around 21 knots and has a maximum speed of 31 knots. Her beam is given as 8.89 metres and draft as 2.31 metres. The figures distinguish her from slower displacement yachts of similar length and could be useful to owners who regularly need to cover greater distances in limited time.
Speed has consequences for fuel planning, operating costs and passenger comfort. A vessel able to reach 31 knots will not necessarily make every coastal passage at that rate, particularly in rough weather. Buyers should ask for fuel-consumption curves, machinery service history and recent sea-trial information before judging whether the performance profile matches their planned use.
The listing describes accommodation for nine crew, necessary to handle the technical and hospitality demands of a large and fast motor yacht. Full guest capacity, high-speed machinery, water toys and opening platforms all increase the number of daily checks. In this category, the consistency of crew procedures and preventative maintenance has a direct effect on reliability.
Owners planning to operate across different regions should consider whether the yacht's equipment can be supported at their preferred ports. Spare parts, authorised service engineers, insurance terms and crew training can matter as much as the headline specification. A technically sophisticated yacht is most useful when the owner has a realistic programme for keeping its systems operational.
VELOCITY's latest advertised asking price is €29.5 million, and the published yacht page places the vessel in Cannes. The brokerage identifies the yacht as a 2020-built Mangusta with the five-year survey and the 2026 improvements completed. Those details help frame the opportunity, but no asking price establishes the outcome of a sale or independently proves a yacht's current condition.
Due diligence should include documentation, a competent marine survey, machinery analysis, verification of refit work and a trial under way. Legal and tax status, inventory and outstanding commitments must be confirmed through the sales process. VELOCITY offers a particularly high-performance approach to a 54-metre superyacht, and its suitability will depend on the buyer's intended cruising and the evidence gathered during inspection.
