Sunseeker 95

Onboard the Sunseeker 95

The Sunseeker 95 reads as a proper motor yacht rather than a scaled-down superyacht: 29 metres of low, purposeful lines, four cabins below for up to 12 guests, and a main deck built around being outside as much as being under cover. The al-fresco dining table sits open to the air rather than tucked behind glass, and the swim platform at the stern gives the boat a natural low point of entry to the water — useful both for swimming stops and for the practical business of getting guests and bags on and off at the dock.

At a cruising speed of around 26 knots, the Sunseeker 95 covers ground briskly, which makes it a realistic choice for a day run down to Sitges bay and back without the outing feeling rushed, or for staying closer in and using the extra time on the jacuzzi and swim platform rather than in transit. Barcelona's bay is open water with some ferry swell, so the shorter, more sheltered Sitges option tends to suit swimming stops better than lingering directly off the city.

With four cabins, the layout works equally well for a family group wanting cabins for grandparents and children, or for a set of couples splitting a multi-day booking rather than a single afternoon. Chartering from Port Olímpic, the base puts the yacht close to fuel and provisioning before departure, so turnaround between a morning arrival and an afternoon cast-off is straightforward to plan around.
