Sunseeker Yacht 86 “The Best Way”: 27-Meter Luxury Motor Yacht Charter in Croatia

Combining British naval engineering with effortless Adriatic cruising, the Sunseeker Yacht 86 “The Best Way” is a standout choice for a high-performance luxury yacht rental in Croatia. Measuring 27.00 meters (88.7 feet) and Refitted to maintain pristine mechanical and aesthetic standards, this sleek planing-hull motor yacht accommodates up to 8 to 9 guests across 4 en-suite cabins. Based at Marina Frapa in Dubrovnik and operated by a seasoned crew of 4, The Best Way delivers the speed to link Southern Dalmatia’s best islands in hours, alongside the stability and volume expected from a top-tier private yacht charter in Croatia.

Vessel Overview & Exterior Deck Life

Sunseeker designed the 86 Yacht series to maximize outdoor living space without sacrificing its signature sporty profile. Across the exterior decks, guests have three distinct social zones:

• The Flybridge: The social hub of the yacht features an expansive alfresco dining table, a fully equipped wet bar with an ice maker, and an outdoor barbecue grill. Surrounded by generous sun pads and sheltered by a retractable Bimini top, guests can choose between open sun or cool shade throughout the day.
• Foredeck Lounge & Sun Pads: The bow is configured as a private retreat featuring an intimate seating lounge with a cocktail table and forward-facing sunbathing mattresses—ideal for enjoying coastal breezes while underway or watching the sunset in port.
• Aft Cockpit & Hydraulic Swim Platform: The sheltered main deck aft accommodates 8 to 10 guests for outdoor dining with direct access to the main saloon. Twin staircases lead down to a full-beam hydraulic swimming platform that lowers straight into the sea, creating an effortless private beach club for swimming and boarding water toys.

Interior Design, Saloon & Stateroom Layout

Stepping through the aft glass doors, the main deck saloon blends dark high-gloss wood paneling with cream leather sofas, beige wool carpeting, and wide panoramic hull windows that flood the interior with natural light. The lounge is outfitted with an LCD/LED flat-screen TV, DVD player, and a Bose Lifestyle surround-sound system with Bluetooth connectivity, while a formal indoor dining area forward seats up to 8 guests.

Accommodation for up to 8 Guests (4 En-Suite Cabins)

Located on the fully air-conditioned lower deck, the four staterooms offer rare layout versatility for both families and couples chartering together:

• Full-Beam Master Suite (Amidships): Positioned in the most stable part of the yacht, the Master suite offers walkaround space comparable to larger vessels, featuring a queen-size bed, walk-in wardrobe, vanity desk, oversized side windows, Bose audio, LCD TV, and a spacious en-suite bathroom.
• Forward VIP Stateroom: Features a queen-size bed, wide hull windows fitted with electric blackout blinds, a walk-in wardrobe, LCD TV, Bose sound system, and a private en-suite bathroom.
• 2 x Convertible Twin/Double Cabins: Situated between the Master and VIP suites, both mirror-image twin cabins feature side-by-side single beds that slide together to convert into full double beds. This allows the yacht to be configured with up to four double cabins for four couples. One of the twin cabins also includes a Pullman berth, accommodating a 9th guest. All cabins include private en-suite bathrooms with shower stalls.

Performance, Zero-Speed Stabilizers & Crew Service

Powered by twin 1,821 BHP MTU V12 2000 M93 diesel engines, The Best Way cruises comfortably at 20 knots and reaches a top speed of 27 knots. Crucially for guest comfort, the yacht is fitted with a TRAC Star digital stabilizing system that operates both underway and at zero speed (at anchor). Whether crossing open channels or sleeping overnight in a secluded bay, sideways roll is virtually eliminated. With a shallow draft of just 1.70 meters, the Captain can drop anchor much closer to shore than deeper-draft vessels.

Dedicated Crew of 4

Your charter is managed by a seasoned 4-member Croatian crew: Captain, Chef, Stewardess/Hostess, and Deckhand. While the Captain and Deckhand handle navigation, mooring logistics, and water sports setup, the onboard Chef crafts bespoke daily menus tailored to your preferences—highlighting fresh Adriatic wild-caught fish, local olive oils, and regional wines served by the Stewardess.

Water Toys & Recreation Equipment

The Best Way carries a well-curated selection of water toys and shore equipment stored cleanly on the stern platform and flybridge:

• Tender: 4.50m ZAR Formenti rigid inflatable tender with a 60 BHP outboard engine (ideal for shallow beach landings and towing)
• Jet Ski: Sea-Doo GTX Limited 300
• Boards & Paddles: 2 x Stand-Up Paddleboards (SUPs)
• Towables & Skis: Water skis for both adults and children, inflatable banana, and towable donut/ringo tube
• Snorkeling & Ashore: Full sets of snorkeling gear, plus 2 x Segways for effortless promenade cruising in historic ports
