Sunseeker 76

Onboard the Sunseeker 76

The Sunseeker 76 reads as a sport yacht built for pace as much as comfort: 23 metres of hull with a cruising speed around 28 knots, so the run down to Sitges or a loop around Barcelona's bay covers ground quickly, leaving more of the day for being at anchor than in transit. Below and on deck, the layout keeps things practical for a full day out — three cabins for guests who want to extend into an overnight, and open aft space designed for being outside rather than sheltered from it.

Al-fresco dining is where this yacht does its best work. The aft deck table sits close to the swim platform, so a lunch stop off Sitges bay or a quieter stretch of the Costa Maresme can move straight from a swim into a meal without much reorganising the deck. At the speeds this Sunseeker holds, a half-day out of Port Olímpic can still reach open water with time to anchor, swim, eat, and turn back before the afternoon breeze builds.

It suits a group of up to ten who want a yacht that moves with intent — couples marking an occasion, friends splitting a day between swimming and a proper lunch on deck, or a small family wanting speed without the scale of a superyacht. Barcelona's harbour traffic is heavy near the entrance, so departures and returns are timed with that in mind; once clear of the port, the Sunseeker 76's speed opens up route options — Sitges and back in an afternoon, or further along the coast if the day allows for it.
