GRACE XI is a Sunseeker built for the way the Mediterranean is actually cruised: fast between anchorages, sociable at rest, and easy to live aboard for a week at a time. Delivered in 2014 and refitted in 2025, she is a 23 metre flybridge motor yacht that pairs real pace with a layout sized for a group of eight. Her recent refit keeps the finish current, and her price positions her as one of the more accessible ways to charter a yacht of this quality through the Greek islands and the wider eastern Mediterranean.
The flybridge is where GRACE XI makes her case. It runs almost the full width of the yacht, with a wet bar, a dining table under a bimini and a spread of sun pads that catch the breeze at anchor. It is a deck built for the long, slow part of the day, when the group drifts between swimming, lunch and the shade. One level down, the main deck aft sets up for alfresco dining in the cockpit, a step from the salon and from the bathing platform. Forward, the bow carries a second set of sun pads for anyone chasing quiet, and at the stern a swim platform opens onto the water with a locker of toys ready for the day. With a top speed above thirty knots, she can reach a distant island for lunch and still be back in a favourite bay by evening.
Inside, the main salon is bright and contemporary, finished in pale leathers and warm timber with large windows along both sides. A comfortable lounge sits forward of a formal dining area, and the galley is arranged to serve both the interior and the cockpit without crossing guest space. The mood is relaxed and modern rather than formal, a single open level that keeps the group together while leaving room to find a quiet corner.
Accommodation is generous for her size, with four cabins sleeping up to eight guests. The full beam master sits amidships on the lower deck, with a double bed, good natural light and an ensuite, and is the calmest cabin aboard at anchor. A VIP cabin forward and two further guest cabins, each with a double bed, give a broker the flexibility to place couples and friends sensibly across the yacht. Every cabin has its own ensuite, and the warm timber joinery and crisp linen carry the same calm feel through all four.
A crew of three runs GRACE XI, handling the helm, the service and the watersports so guests are free to enjoy the trip. She cruises the Greek islands and the eastern Mediterranean through the summer, where her speed shortens the passages and her flybridge rewards the hours spent at anchor. The short hops between islands suit a yacht built to plane, and the sheltered bays of the Aegean reward one that is quick to reach them and comfortable once the engines are off. For a group that wants a fast, comfortable and well kept yacht without stepping up to a larger budget, she is a sharp and sensible choice, and a genuinely easy one to book.
