Sunseeker Portofino 48hardtop sports cruiser charter in Mallorca

Rather than climbing to a flybridge, the Portofino 48 keeps life on the main deck under a hardtop, as befits a sports cruiser from Sunseeker's Portofino range, built in Poole on the south coast of England. Her layout puts the helm and cockpit in the shade and leaves the aft deck open to the sun. At 15 metres with a 4.5 metre beam, she has a low, swept profile: a dark band along the hull, a raked windscreen and stainless rails running forward to the bow. It is a timeless, elegant shape.

Life on board is easygoing. The cockpit gathers around a long table with cream upholstery and striped cushions, the natural place for lunch at anchor, and a wide sunpad sits just above the swim platform for anyone who wants to stretch out between swims. Further forward, a sunpad on the foredeck offers a quieter corner once the anchor is down. Below, the saloon is finished in warm, honey-toned joinery, with a galley and a dining table, and two cabins and two heads give shade and privacy through a long day. With a crew of two looking after the boat, guests are free to swim, eat and rest at their own pace.

Cruising at 20 knots, with 28 knots in reserve, she suits unhurried plans: a morning in the Bay of Palma, a run west to Port Adriano and its protected marine reserve, or out to Sa Dragonera when the sea is calm, then a slow return as the light softens. The jet tender handles trips ashore, a paddle board and snorkelling gear suit the clearer coves, and a wakeboard and a towable donut are there for livelier afternoons. She is a dependable choice for a group that values comfort over outright speed. She is chartered by the day or for sunset from Mallorca, and the team confirms her berth once your dates are set. A longer charter can be discussed on request.
