SONISHI is a striking 40-metre motor yacht from the Sunseeker 131 series, delivered in 2019 and representing the pinnacle of the British builder’s semi-custom range. With her aggressive styling, powerful twin engines and contemporary interiors, she epitomises the modern performance superyacht, built to cover ground quickly while delivering the space and comfort that Mediterranean chartering demands.
Designed to make a statement at anchor and underway, SONISHI’s sleek hull form cuts through the water with authority, reaching a maximum speed of 22 knots and maintaining a comfortable cruising pace of 12 knots. Her GRP construction keeps displacement low and responsiveness high, while a range of over 1,000 nautical miles at cruising speed provides the freedom to explore from the French Riviera to the Greek islands without refuelling.
The interior reflects Sunseeker’s signature approach to modern luxury, clean lines, premium materials and an open-plan layout that maximises natural light and flow between spaces. The main saloon opens onto the aft deck through full-height glass doors, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor living. Rich wood veneers, soft leather upholstery and polished metal accents create a refined but relaxed atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire charter experience.
Accommodation aboard SONISHI caters to ten guests across five generously proportioned cabins. The full-beam master suite on the main deck is a genuine highlight, offering panoramic views, a walk-in wardrobe and a lavishly appointed en-suite bathroom. On the lower deck, two double cabins and two twin cabins complete the layout, each with its own en-suite and climate control. A dedicated crew of eight operates from separate quarters forward, ensuring attentive service while preserving guest privacy.
The yacht’s three-deck layout punches well above its length. The main deck provides a spacious saloon and dining area, the upper deck houses a helm station and a skylounge perfect for casual entertaining, and the sundeck, arguably SONISHI’s greatest asset, is a self-contained oasis with a large Jacuzzi, sunpads, a wet bar and panoramic views in every direction.
Water toys are a particular strength. SONISHI carries a 7-metre De Antonio tender for shore excursions and a Williams jet tender for more spirited runs, alongside jet skis, paddleboards and a full complement of inflatables. The hydraulic stern platform provides easy launch and recovery, making the transition from yacht to water effortlessly smooth.
From her flybridge Jacuzzi, guests can soak in warm water while gazing across the azure coastline, and the generous sun deck forward provides yet another intimate space for morning yoga or a quiet read. The aft deck, shaded by the upper deck overhang, serves as the yacht’s social hub, a versatile area for alfresco dining, evening drinks or simply watching the sun dip below the horizon after a day of exploration.
SONISHI’s professional crew of eight brings extensive Mediterranean experience and an intuitive sense of service that transforms a luxury holiday into something truly personal. From customised itineraries and on-board dining tailored to individual preferences, to seamless coordination of shore excursions and watersports activities, the crew ensures that every moment aboard exceeds expectation.
With her 2019 build year and ongoing maintenance programme, SONISHI presents in excellent condition throughout, a compelling combination of Sunseeker performance, contemporary design and a comprehensive charter inventory that makes her an ideal choice for groups seeking a dynamic cruising experience in the Western Mediterranean.
