SANSSOUCI STAR Motor yacht for charter

If you’re looking for a proper traditional superyacht, SANSSOUCI STAR is the real McCoy with sweet hull lines and vast amounts of interior living space on three main levels. She’s a 54-metre (176ft) vessel designed to host up to 12 guests in seven cabins, including a big master suite with a separate office on the upper deck. With two main deck VIP suites and four cabins that convert from doubles to twins, her versatile accommodation can be configured to suit your guests.

A long range ocean-going yacht with great potential for extended voyaging, she’s equally suitable for relaxed, short-distance cruising along the coast where her elegant silhouette and graceful presence will elicit admiring glances wherever you decide to drop anchor. She’s freshly refurbished in a recent refit but also has the distinction – increasingly rare among large classic motor yachts – of retaining her original layout.

There’s plenty of outside deck space on three different levels, from the seats and day beds on the open sundeck to the semi-enclosed main deck aft with a big teak table for informal al fresco dining. The expansive upper aft deck is an ideal place to stage a private party or hold a large family gathering. Elegant covered companionways with slanted mullions and traditional teak handrails link the large exterior guest spaces, and there are sheltered, intimate nooks too – she offers a wide variety of settings to suit your mood.

Interior highlights include a splendid formal dining room with classic nautical wood panelling, a gym with big windows and exercise machines, a sit-up bar with a clubby atmosphere, several areas for games and activities, a snug sitting room next to the master cabin and a comfortable, sociable main deck lounge.

Her tender deserves a special mention – it’s a seven-metre (24ft) high-performance powerboat with 3,000 horsepower and an exhilarating top speed of 40 knots. There’s also a jet ski or two and a high-spec water scooter, plus a canoe to go exploring in a tranquil, sheltered bay.
