ELITE is a 28 metre Sunseeker flybridge motor yacht from 2016, a sleek and modern yacht that charters the Caribbean with quick, confident style. She looks after ten guests across four cabins with a crew of four, and her point of difference is that recent British blend of pace and polish: a fast, flowing hull, a generous sun deck and a warm, beautifully finished interior, all run by an attentive crew who keep the days relaxed and the yacht immaculate. For a family or a group of friends who want a stylish, contemporary yacht that moves easily between the islands and lives large for its size, she is a sharp and genuinely enjoyable choice from the first morning to the last.
She is built to make the most of a warm island charter. A quick planing hull covers the run between the Leeward and the Windward Islands with ease, and once the anchor is down she settles into a cove with the poise of a yacht made for leisure. Clean Sunseeker lines, a crisp white profile and large hull windows give her real presence on the water, and the crew of four keep every part of the day running without fuss, from the first swim off the stern to drinks on the sun deck as the sun drops. She feels sharp and capable underway and composed and unhurried at rest, with the pace to chase a change of scene and the comfort to make a full week in the Caribbean feel effortless.
Life in the open air rises to the sun deck, the natural heart of the yacht in the warm months. Raised above the main deck and open to the breeze, it gathers sun loungers, soft seating and a shaded helm with a clear view over the anchorage, a place to spread out through a long afternoon and gather again for sundowners. A deck below, the aft deck sets out an alfresco dining table and soft seating a few steps from the sea, a forward sun pad opens the bow to the sky, and a broad swim platform opens the yacht to swimming, to the tender and to the toys. The clear light of the Caribbean is never far, and a quiet cay or a lively island harbour is always within an easy run.
Inside, the mood is warm, bright and contemporary, finished in rich walnut with soft cream seating and large windows that keep the sea in view and the light flooding through. The main saloon is a comfortable, open living space with deep sofas and a low table, set close to an elegant formal dining area in the same warm wood, so the whole party can gather in one bright, sociable room when the sun climbs high or the evening draws in. A calm, enclosed wheelhouse sits a few steps forward, and a well appointed galley serves the yacht close at hand. The warm walnut joinery and the generous glass give the interior a settled, refined feel, an easy counterpoint to the long days spent out on deck and in the water.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for ten guests, set below the main deck where the motion is gentlest. The full beam master takes a generous, private position with a wide bed, warm walnut joinery, soft seating and its own bathroom, while a VIP and a run of guest cabins, each quiet and comfortable with their own facilities, look after the rest of the party. It is a flexible plan that suits two families or a group of friends travelling together, the cabins ready for couples and for younger guests sharing, every one finished to the same warm, modern standard. Quick, stylish and easy to live aboard, ELITE is a relaxed and genuinely enjoyable way to charter the Caribbean with the whole party kept close.
