Remarks
Sunseeker Portofino 400 for sale in Kent £69,950
This 1995 Sunseeker Portofino 400 presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious and capable sports cruiser fitted with significantly upgraded modern engines. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-350 5.5-litre diesel engines, installed in 2017 and showing approximately 653 hours, she offers impressive performance and the benefits of a comparatively recent engine installation. The boat is well-equipped with an array of navigation equipment and a Fisher Panda generator, while her spacious layout provides accommodation for up to six people in three cabins, making her equally suitable for family cruising or extended stays aboard.
The current owner has used the vessel relatively lightly, primarily as comfortable getaway accommodation, rather than for extensive cruising. The boat now requires the engines to be serviced and the vessel lifted for antifouling and a hull polish. These requirements have been fully reflected in the competitive asking price. With her desirable Sunseeker styling, spacious accommodation, generator and relatively modern low-hour Volvo Penta D6-350 engines, this Portofino 400 represents an attractive opportunity for a buyer prepared to undertake the required routine maintenance and recommissioning.
Early viewing is recommended. Please call our Kent Office at +44 (0)1634 571605 for further information or to arrange a viewing.
Accommodation
The Sunseeker Portofino 400 offers spacious and versatile accommodation for up to six people, with two cabins, a generous saloon and an exceptionally large cockpit providing an excellent space for relaxing and entertaining.
The forward owner's cabin features a large centreline island double berth with useful storage beneath. A hanging wardrobe is positioned to starboard, with additional shelving and storage to both sides of the cabin. The cabin is light and airy, benefiting from an opening deck hatch above the berth and opening portlights to port and starboard. The forward cabin also has a 12V Bush TV fitted.
Moving aft, the heads compartment is located to starboard and is fitted with a wash basin set within a vanity unit, pressurised hot and cold water, a marine toilet and a separate shower area with doors and shower tray. Hot water is supplied via the engine calorifier or 240V immersion heater. The heads also benefit from Jack-and-Jill access from both the owner's cabin and saloon.
The main saloon has a luxurious and comfortable feel, with a large U-shaped settee to port surrounding a saloon table. The table can be lowered to create an additional double berth when required. Overhead cupboard storage and two opening portlights complete this bright and practical living space.
Opposite, to starboard, is the well-equipped galley, offering generous worktop and cupboard space, a cream sink with pressurised hot and cold water, a Samsung Microwave and an electric hob.
Aft of the saloon, amidships, is the guest cabin, providing two single berths together with a hanging wardrobe and additional cupboard storage. Comfort throughout the accommodation is enhanced by a diesel heating system, providing warmth to the saloon, owner's cabin and guest cabin.
Companionway steps lead up to the impressive open-plan cockpit, one of the standout features of the Portofino 400. The helm position is located to starboard and incorporates the engine controls, navigation equipment and vessel control switches, while comfortable seating is provided to port.
Further aft is a generous entertaining area, with a large U-shaped settee and cockpit table to port, opposite an external cockpit galley area. This is fitted with a stainless-steel sink with hot and cold water, a refrigerator making the cockpit an ideal space for entertaining family and friends.
A transom door provides easy access from the cockpit to the bathing platform, ideal for swimming, watersports or boarding from a tender.
