STARDUST OF MARY is a twenty six metre Sunseeker 86 from 2015, a sports flybridge motor yacht refreshed in a 2023 refit, built for fast, sociable cruising along the Algarve and the wider West Mediterranean. She carries eight guests across four cabins with a crew of four, and she pairs the pace and the clean lines of a modern Sunseeker with a warm, beautifully kept interior.
Her point of difference is the Sunseeker blend of performance and finish. With a top end near twenty eight knots she can move quickly between ports and anchorages when it suits, yet she is just as happy at an economical cruise, holding comfortably for a longer passage along the coast. The profile is low and athletic, unmistakably current, and the whole yacht is laid out to make the most of the sun and the sea.
The flybridge is the heart of a charter aboard. Open to the sky with a dining table, soft seating and a clear outlook over the water, it is the natural gathering point for breakfast, for lunch in the sun and for drinks as the light drops over the cliffs. Forward, a run of sun pads on the foredeck gives a quieter, more private spot, and aft the deck opens onto the bathing platform with a full playzone of water toys close at hand for an active day in the water.
Inside, the main salon is bright and welcoming, lined in warm teak with pale sofas and armchairs gathered around a low table, large windows drawing the light and the sea right into the room. A dining area sits forward within the same open space, set for meals aboard out of the heat, and a lower interior lounge gives a calm corner away from the main living area. The finish is warm and considered, timber against cream with the soft navy notes that run through the yacht.
Accommodation is arranged over four cabins for eight guests. The master stateroom is a generous, full beam room with its own ensuite, while a guest suite, a further double and a twin cabin look after the rest of the party, each finished in the same warm teak with good daylight and its own facilities. The cabins are private and restful, the kind of rooms that make a week aboard feel effortless.
Under way she is a quick, easy planing yacht, so a hop to the next bay or a run along the coast is a short, dry passage rather than a long day at sea. Her natural ground is the Algarve and the West Mediterranean, the cliffs and clear water of southern Portugal and the ports beyond, waters that suit a yacht built for sun, speed and easy days at anchor.
STARDUST OF MARY suits a family or a group of friends who want a modern, well finished yacht with pace and a sense of fun, a base for swimming, water sports and long lunches on the flybridge. Sharp, comfortable and attentively crewed, she is a smart way to charter the Algarve and the West Mediterranean coast.
