BLADE I makes a simple, confident case: a 34 metre Sunseeker, comprehensively refitted in 2026, offering the space and crewed service of a larger yacht at a price that still leaves room to enjoy the week. She is proof that a thoughtful refit can be the smartest value in the charter market.
Sunseeker built her in 2009 as a semi-displacement motor yacht, and the bones were always good: a long flybridge, a full beam owner’s deck below and an easy, sociable main deck. The 2026 refit has brought the finishes, the systems and the soft furnishings up to current standard without losing the warm, classic Sunseeker character that charter guests know and trust.
Life aboard gravitates to the main deck, which runs open plan from a formal interior dining table through to a relaxed salon lounge. Rich joinery, soft seating and generous side glazing keep the space bright and calm, and the eye is never far from the water. Step aft and a shaded deck table seats the full party for lunch in the open air, a few steps from both the salon and the bathing platform, so meals move outside the moment the weather invites it.
Up top, the flybridge is the yacht’s social heart. The upper helm sits alongside shaded seating and a bar, a natural perch for the run between anchorages and for sundowners once the hook is down. Forward and aft, sun pads and loungers give guests room to spread out through the day.
Below, five cabins sleep ten. The master takes the full beam of the lower deck, a calm room with a large bed, side windows and a private en suite. The guest cabins follow the same warm timber language, a mix of doubles that gives the layout real flexibility for families or groups of friends sharing the charter. A crew of six runs the yacht and looks after the party, close at hand without crowding the experience.
BLADE I cruises the Western Mediterranean, equally at home along the French and Italian coasts and among the islands. She suits guests who want a proper 34 metre yacht, a flybridge for long days outside and a crew to handle the detail, without reaching for the headline rates that newer hulls command.
She is a sensible, well judged charter: refreshed, comfortable and ready, with the kind of easy flow between deck, salon and sea that keeps a week aboard moving at exactly the pace the party sets.
The appeal of a yacht like BLADE I is that she asks for nothing to be forgiven. A 2026 refit means fresh soft furnishings, updated systems and a galley ready to feed a full party through a long charter week, so guests step aboard a yacht that feels current rather than one carrying its age. The semi-displacement hull is comfortable and economical at a cruising pace, well suited to coast hopping where the pleasure is in the anchorages rather than the speed between them.
She also carries the toys and tenders that make a Mediterranean week, with the bathing platform and aft deck set up for easy days in and out of the water. For a group weighing the cost of a newer hull against the experience actually delivered, BLADE I lands squarely on the side of value: the space, the flybridge, the full beam master and the crewed service are all here, refreshed and ready, without the premium that a recent delivery would command.
