A bold step paving the way to incredible success, the 34 knot Portofino 48 is the first Sunseeker designed exclusively for pod drive propulsion. Rave press reviews focus not just on the point-and-park joystick manoeuvring, low noise levels and high performance values, but also on the class leading layout above and below decks, with both having the space and plan of much larger craft.
The cockpit is big, the social and sunning areas interwoven with a convertible arrangement, the sliding hard top clever, and the size of the tender garage a pleasant surprise. The true surprise though is below, where the owner's suite is not confined as convention would have it at this length on the bow, but amidships, spanning full beam and with centreline king-size bed, side sofa dresser, and plentiful headroom. The forward cabin presents a neat double, too, which quickly transforms, opening scissor fashion, to create outboard twin beds.
