Sunseeker Portofino 400 for sale in Kent £69,950
This 1995 Sunseeker Portofino 400 presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a spacious and capable sports cruiser fitted with significantly upgraded modern engines. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-350 5.5-litre diesel engines, installed in 2017 and showing approximately 653 hours, she offers impressive performance and the benefits of a comparatively recent engine installation. The boat is well-equipped with an array of navigation equipment and a Fisher Panda generator, while her spacious layout provides accommodation for up to six people in three cabins, making her equally suitable for family cruising or extended stays aboard.
The current owner has used the vessel relatively lightly, primarily as comfortable getaway accommodation, rather than for extensive cruising. The boat now requires the engines to be serviced and the vessel lifted for antifouling and a hull polish. These requirements have been fully reflected in the competitive asking price. With her desirable Sunseeker styling, spacious accommodation, generator and relatively modern low-hour Volvo Penta D6-350 engines, this Portofino 400 represents an attractive opportunity for a buyer prepared to undertake the required routine maintenance and recommissioning.
Early viewing is recommended. Please call our Kent Office at +44 (0)1634 571605 for further information or to arrange a viewing.

Companionway steps lead up to the impressive open-plan cockpit, one of the standout features of the Portofino 400. The helm position is located to starboard and incorporates the engine controls, navigation equipment and vessel control switches, while comfortable seating is provided to port.
Further aft is a generous entertaining area, with a large U-shaped settee and cockpit table to port, opposite an external cockpit galley area. This is fitted with a stainless-steel sink with hot and cold water, a refrigerator making the cockpit an ideal space for entertaining family and friends.
