2006 Sunseeker Portofino 53

Description

2006 Sunseeker Portofino 53 – 1st Owner Since New

A Sunseeker Portofino 53 of rare provenance – owned by one couple since new, used exclusively as a private holiday yacht, and upgraded for twenty years with the kind of patient intelligence that no showroom specification can replicate. Twin MAN 800hp engines with low engine hours, the Kohler generator has been fully serviced, and the Seafari watermaker means extended passages without a marina. The cockpit has been transformed into a genuine outdoor living space, with a bespoke gas galley, fridge, sink and chest freezer making life at anchor entirely self-sufficient.

A full retractable sunroof, new 2025 sunshades and mosquito nets, a breathable aft shade and a sealed winter enclosure give her a four-season versatility that most sportscruisers never achieve. Below, the saloon has been refreshed with new headlining throughout, and a comprehensive 2026 refit of the master cabin means the most-used space aboard presents as new. A 500W solar array with Victron management keeps the batteries topped silently while at anchor.

She is maintained up to date, ready to sail, and offered with her Williams 325 Turbo S tender included.

LIFESTYLE

Leave your Marina on a sunny morning. The solar has been running, the batteries are full, the watermaker has done its work. Clear the north channel, open the engines, and by mid-morning you are sitting off a deserted beach with the cockpit galley running. The forward bimini is up, the bow cushions are out, and the Williams is already i n the water. The generator never started. This is not a boat you manage. This i s a boat that takes care of you.
