Sunseeker 86

Onboard the Sunseeker 86

The Sunseeker 86 carries the look of a serious motor yacht without asking guests to negotiate a maze of decks to feel it. Twelve guests move easily between the cockpit, the saloon and the bow seating, and four cabins mean the group can split into couples or families for the night without anyone feeling like an afterthought. Sunseeker's cues are all here — low sheer line, planing hull, a helm station built for confident open-water running rather than careful crawling.

From Port Olímpic, the Sunseeker 86 suits a full day run down toward Sitges: out through the harbour mouth past the commercial traffic, then a steady run south along the Maresme-facing coast before easing into the more sheltered water off Sitges bay for a swim stop and a late lunch ashore. The same boat works just as well kept close to the city — a few hours circling Barcelona's bay at a gentler pace, guests on the bow watching the skyline change as the light drops.

Groups booking the Sunseeker 86 tend to be mixed-generation families or a small party of couples who want one boat, not a flotilla, and are happy to plan the day rather than leave it loose. With four cabins on board, it also handles a short overnight stop reasonably — useful if the plan runs past a single afternoon. Our team talks through guest numbers, route and season before confirming dates, so the boat matches the day you actually want rather than the one on the brochure.
