Sunseeker Portofino 53 17m 2009, Motoryachten

The Portofino 53 also features Sunseeker's extremely aggressive chine design. She carries her wide, down-turned chines well forward, which, even before you employ the trim tabs, controls lateral stability (at rest and underway) and throws water and spray down and away form the hull for a dry ride. Her 20,000kg displacement also aids the ride, because the sharp bow slices through swells cleanly without banging.

The sleeping arrangements on the 53 allow eight people to overnight (if the optional convertible lounge is fitted) in luxurious comfort. The forward owner's stateroom features its own en-suite, while the two guest cabins share the day head.
Both bathrooms are quite spacious and fully featured, with all your modern conveniences.

There are twin bunks in the starboard cabin, while the slightly larger port stateroom features a six foot-plus ceiling and a full-sized double bed. All the staterooms feature cedar-lined wardrobes, so your clothes will always smell fresh and moths will never be a problem.

Her ride and handle are one of the best in her class and the workmanship used during her construction is obvious wherever you look. With a sleeping capacity of up to eight adults, this boat has everything to please anyone in the market for a big 53-footer.

The Portofino 53 is a luxurious sports cruiser that combines wide cruising potential with impressive top speeds. The yacht has recently performed her seasonal maintenance procedures. This included teak work in the cockpit and the back deck and full antifouling of the hull.

Immaculately presented. This yacht is well worth a look to purchase.
