Black Mamba Motor Yacht

Fold-down balconies off the main salon turn Black Mamba's interior into extra deck space at the push of a button, the kind of detail that matters once you are living aboard rather than reading a spec sheet. Sunseeker built her as an 86 Yacht in 2020, and she lies in Skradin, Croatia, ready for a new season.

Build and provenance

She is a GRP-hulled flybridge motor yacht at 26 metres and 86 gross tonnes. Her beam runs to 6.47 metres, giving the flybridge and the fold-down balconies room to work without crowding the side decks below.

Layout and accommodation

Four ensuite cabins sleep eight guests, and a crew of four look after them. The salon's fold-down balconies extend the living space outward whenever she is at anchor, rather than confining guests indoors.

Performance and engineering

Twin 1,950 hp MTU 12V2000 M96L engines give her a 22-knot cruise and a 30-knot top speed, enough to close a distance between anchorages inside an afternoon rather than a full day. Stabilisers work both underway and at anchor, twin generators keep the systems running once she is parked for the night, and tropical air conditioning holds the cabins cool through a warm season.

On deck and at anchor

On deck, the sun deck and the foredeck's seating and table give the top two levels their own reasons to be used, while the hydraulic swim platform lowers to the waterline for swimming or tender work without any fuss. Bow and stern thrusters plus dynamic positioning make her simple to hold steady off a quay, and sunpads and WiFi round out a boat built for long days outside as much as evenings on board.

Where she lies and how to see her

Black Mamba lies in Skradin, Croatia, and we take buyers to see her there rather than sending a set of photographs to decide from. A survey and sea trial follow once an offer is accepted, before anything moves to handover.
