Skye

A full-beam owner's cabin and two further guest cabins besides the forward VIP suite give Skye a layout built around family time rather than close quarters. Sunseeker completed her in 2020, an 86-foot motor yacht carrying eight guests in four cabins, and she now lies in Japan.

Build and provenance

She is a Sunseeker-built motor yacht from 2020, a monohull with a GRP hull, 26 metres long and 95 gross tonnes, with a beam of 6.47 metres. That tonnage on that length gives the full-beam owner's suite room to spread across the width of the hull, rather than being tucked into a narrower forward cabin.

Layout and accommodation

Eight guests sleep across four cabins: the full-beam owner's suite, a forward VIP cabin, and two further guest cabins, with a crew of four looking after them. The main saloon is arranged as one open room, its large windows keeping the lounge and dining areas connected rather than divided by walls, the kind of layout that suits a family who want to gather rather than split off into separate spaces.

Performance and engineering

Twin MTU diesels and zero-speed stabilisers give Skye a steady, 12-knot displacement cruise rather than a sprint: the sort of pace that keeps a family crossing calm instead of racing to the next port. It suits cruising in company more than covering distance quickly.

Where she lies and how to see her

Skye lies in Japan. Boatcrowd sets up every viewing and is present for it, and after an accepted offer we bring in a surveyor and arrange the sea trial before handover.
