About this yacht
ARADOS represents the pinnacle of Sunseeker's design philosophy—a 47-meter flagship motor yacht built in 2014 and thoroughly refreshed in 2018, now available for ARADOS charter through Drivasy Yachts. This tri-deck beauty was conceived with entertainment as its cornerstone, featuring a sprawling sky lounge on the upper deck and a comprehensive range of outdoor living spaces designed for both grand gatherings and intimate retreats. As the largest Sunseeker yacht operating in the charter market, ARADOS holds flagship status within the builder's prestigious range, making her an exceptional choice for those seeking proven design excellence combined with genuine cruising capability.
The interior architecture, crafted by the renowned French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, combines modern sophistication with natural luminosity through light oak flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Mediterranean seascape. Accommodation spans five cabins accommodating ten guests in exceptional comfort: a full-beam master suite on the main deck with fold-down balcony and his-and-hers closets, two VIP cabins also positioned on the main deck, and two convertible twin cabins below. The formal dining area seats all ten guests and flows seamlessly onto side balconies, while the main deck foredeck lounge provides a quieter sanctuary for those seeking solitude. Every interior space has been designed to blend modern comfort with the natural light of the surrounding seascape, creating an environment that feels both luxurious and genuinely livable.
The outdoor entertainment strategy is equally compelling. The expansive sundeck centers on a generous Jacuzzi surrounded by sunbeds and a full bar, while the water-level beach club offers unmediated access to the sea. ARADOS carries an impressive water sports collection including two Seadoo jetskis, Seabob devices, paddle boards, snorkeling equipment, and water-skis—and holds RYA training center certification, allowing guests to develop competency with these toys during their charter. Two tenders—a 13-meter chase boat with twin 425-hp Yamaha diesel engines and a 6.3-meter Williams jet—provide flexibility for coastal exploration and tender diving operations.
Powered by twin MTU engines producing 2,950 horsepower, ARADOS achieves a cruising speed of 16 knots with a maximum speed of 20 knots, delivering a 4,000-nautical-mile range that extends well beyond the Mediterranean. Advanced stabilizers provide comfort whether anchored or underway, while comprehensive amenities including a gym, air conditioning throughout, and high-speed WiFi ensure modern conveniences remain uncompromised. Based in Antibes, ARADOS operates throughout the West Mediterranean, with particular strength in French and Italian waters—regions where her shallow draft and responsive handling excel. Her proven track record as the flagship Sunseeker charter yacht makes her an exceptional vessel that balances world-class design with genuine cruising capability, available from €235,000 weekly through Drivasy Yachts.
