JAVA

Java — Sunseeker 64 Sunseeker built her reputation on boats that flatter the sea rather than fight it, and this 20-metre motor yacht from the British yard's 2004 line is a clear example of that thinking. A refit completed in 2024 has brought her back up to standard, which shows in the details that matter day to day aboard a yacht of this size. She sleeps six across three cabins: two with a double bed, one with twin beds. It is a straightforward, well-judged layout — enough separation for two couples travelling together, or a family that appreciates having its own corners of the yacht. For daytime cruising she takes up to fifteen guests, with dining laid out both inside and on the flybridge. That upper deck is where most of the day tends to be spent in the Emirates — shaded when you want it, open to the breeze when you don't, and with the kind of view over the water that makes lunch run long. The crew handles the yacht, the housekeeping and the galley, with a trained chef aboard to build menus around what you actually feel like eating rather than a fixed programme. Provisioning, timings, the choice of anchorage for the afternoon: all of it is discussed with you and then simply taken care of. Java cruises the United Arab Emirates, a coastline that suits her scale well — short passages, warm water, and a rhythm that rewards a yacht you can use easily rather than one that demands to be managed.
