Sunseeker is a British production builder producing planing motor yachts and flybridge boats from 55 to 161 feet at its Poole facility. The four charter vessels available in Italian waters represent the upper end of the Sunseeker range, typically the 95, 115 and 131 Ocean series, which combine volume and speed in a package suited to the pace of Italian coastal cruising. Sunseeker yachts are faster than comparable displacement vessels of similar length, typically capable of 25 to 32 knots at full throttle, which suits guests who want to cover the Italian coastline quickly and spend more time at anchor than in transit. The fleet is active from May through September, with peak demand in July and August. Embarkation is typically from Genoa, Rome or Naples, depending on the specific vessel. Weekly rates for the Italian Sunseeker fleet run from approximately 20,000 to 60,000 euros. Advance provisioning allowance adds roughly 30 percent for fuel, food, berthing and crew gratuity. Fuel costs for planing yachts at speed are higher than displacement equivalents, so itineraries covering long daily distances should budget accordingly. For groups of six to twelve guests seeking Italian coastal cruising at pace without the formality of a large superyacht, a Sunseeker at 30 to 40 metres represents a sensible and often more available alternative. Specific yacht layouts and captain profiles are available from our charter team.
