JUNIOR is a 26.4 metre Sunseeker 88 Yacht, a British-built flybridge motor yacht delivered new in 2024, and one of the most current designs afloat at her size. She pairs the clean, modern lines and hardtop profile of Sunseeker’s latest range with a proper beach club and a genuine turn of speed, a yacht built to make the most of a week on the water. For a couple or a family who want a brand new boat that can cover ground between islands and still anchor somewhere quiet by lunch, with eight guests across four staterooms, she is a sharp and good looking choice.
Her point of difference is the way she opens to the sea. A beach club sits at her stern, reached by twin staircases and opening onto a broad bathing platform at the waterline, a shaded waterside lounge that turns the back of the yacht into a room of its own. Above it the hardtop carries a retractable central canopy, so the flybridge can be open to the sky or shaded at the touch of a button, and the whole yacht is set up to move easily between sun, shade and the water through the day.
She is also built to move. A quick planing hull driven by twin engines lets her cruise comfortably in the low twenties and reach higher when asked, yet she stays level and quiet enough for the group to talk on the flybridge underway. That pace turns a long run between anchorages into a short one, so a week aboard can take in more of the coast without ever feeling rushed, with time to swim before lunch and reach the next bay before the light goes.
Inside, the design is light and current. The main salon is bright and modern, a pale sofa and low table on warm timber floors under a run of wide windows that keep the sea close on both sides, opening aft to the shaded cockpit at anchor. A dining table sits forward beneath soft pendant lights, and the galley beside the lower helm is finished to the same standard, a sign of how completely she was prepared for looking after guests rather than for private use.
Accommodation is for eight guests across four staterooms, all with their own bathrooms. The full-beam master sits amidships and runs the width of the yacht, a light and private room with hull windows on both sides, a sofa and a marble bathroom of its own. The VIP takes a bright double with a sofa and a round mirror, and two further cabins, including a twin, complete the layout, a mix that suits two couples with children or four friends sharing, with the master and VIP giving the lead cabins real space.
Her cruising ground is the Balearic Islands, and she is well matched to it. From the calas and clear water of Mallorca across to Menorca and the anchorages of Ibiza and Formentera, the islands sit close together, the water is a clean turquoise and the harbours come alive after dark, while her speed makes the crossings easy. With her beach club, her retractable hardtop and the polish of a brand new Sunseeker, JUNIOR offers a modern and easy way to cruise one of the finest cruising grounds in the western Mediterranean.
