WHITE PEARL I is a Sunseeker 34 Metre Yacht from 2010, refitted in 2022, and she is one of the best-value ways onto a genuine 34-metre in Greece. Sunseeker built a lot of this model and they built it well: a fast, deep-vee GRP hull, a huge amount of usable deck for the length, and an interior of warm cherry that has aged into something that feels solid rather than dated. The 2022 refit brought the soft furnishings up to date – the salon is now white and grey against the wood – without touching the things that were right in the first place.
She takes eight guests in four cabins. Two are doubles and two are twins that convert to doubles, so she flexes easily between couples and families. The full-beam master is the highlight, with a walk-in closet and an en-suite that includes a jacuzzi bath and a separate shower; the VIP has its own jacuzzi bathtub as well. All four cabins are en-suite and all are finished in the same warm timber. For eight guests this is a lot of cabin, and the layout means nobody draws the short straw.
The main deck is open and bright. The salon runs to white sofas and grey ottomans around a low table at one end, with a quieter lounge group forward, and a curved bar to the side. Ahead of it the formal dining room seats all eight around a high-gloss table under a large piece of contemporary art. Full-height windows keep the whole deck connected to the water, and the 2022 fabrics give it a lighter, more current feel than the timber alone would suggest.
Outside is where a Sunseeker of this size delivers. The aft deck carries a shaded dining table right on the water. A deck up, the sundeck has a second alfresco dining setting under a hardtop with a bar, and the foredeck is laid out as a broad sunpad terrace under a folding bimini – a private, quiet spot forward of the wheelhouse. Between the three areas there is somewhere to eat, drink or lie in the sun at every point of the day.
She is quick and comfortable – twin MTUs, 18 knots cruising, 25 flat out, with zero-speed stabilisers that hold her steady at anchor as well as underway. Her shallow 2.3-metre draft is a real advantage in Greece, opening up the shallow bays that deeper yachts have to pass by, and her turn of speed means the island-hopping is quick between them.
WHITE PEARL I charters Greece from EUR 75,000 per week. For a refitted 34-metre Sunseeker that sleeps eight in four en-suite cabins, with two jacuzzi baths, a proper sundeck and zero-speed stabilisers, that is strong value – a lot of yacht, freshly presented, at a sensible number.
She is an easy yacht to recommend: quick, comfortable, shallow enough for the good anchorages, and priced to leave room for the rest of the holiday.
