Long Way Round

Six guests across three cabins is an intimate ratio for a yacht of 22 metres (71 feet), and Long Way Round keeps the layout simple rather than crowded. Sunseeker built her as a Sport Yacht in 2015, and she lies for sale in Sotogrande, Spain.

Build and provenance

Sunseeker built her as a Sport Yacht, a fibreglass-hulled, monohull design finished in 2015. Her sport-yacht styling puts the emphasis on a low profile and a cockpit built for pace rather than an extra open deck. At 22 metres she sits toward the larger end of that model line, and her 5.1-metre beam runs the length of the hull.

Layout and accommodation

Three cabins for six guests is a tight, uncomplicated layout, the kind a couple or a small group uses without needing to fill every berth. Two guests to a cabin on average leaves space to spare rather than a boat packed to capacity.

Performance and engineering

She cruises at 34 knots and tops out at 44, figures that put her firmly in sports-yacht territory, built for a fast run along the coast rather than a long, slow passage. At a beam of 5.1 metres on a 22-metre hull she carries that speed on a narrow, efficient profile rather than a wide, stable one, and the gap between her cruising and top speed leaves plenty in reserve for a quick burst.

Where she lies and how to see her

Long Way Round lies in Sotogrande, Spain. Boatcrowd sets up a viewing and is on hand for it, and once an offer on her is accepted, the survey and sea trial follow before the sale completes.
