Sunshine Yacht Charter

Sunshine is what happens when a museum piece quietly installs Wi‑Fi, air‑con and a Cummins engine, then goes sailing past the 21st century.

Designed by William Fife in 1900 and faithfully re‑created in 2003, this 31m gaff‑rigged schooner gives you the full classic-yacht theatre—long overhangs, towering Sitka spruce masts, 5,000+ sq ft of sail—without the “100‑year‑old wooden hull” maintenance drama. Steel hull below, teak and rosewood craftsmanship above. Heritage look, modern structure.

For guests, the logic is simple: 8 people, 4 double cabins, all en-suite, full-beam master, and a crew of 5 whose main job is to make sure you only touch a rope if you actually want to. The raised pilothouse and big open teak decks are effectively your moving grandstand for watching a proper sailing yacht behave like it was designed to—before rating rules and motor-yacht habits messed with hull shapes.

Onboard life isn’t cosplay-vintage. You get full air conditioning, Wi‑Fi, indoor TV/audio, and normal showers rather than “Edwardian cold bucket experience”. When the sails are down, there’s a RIB with outboard, snorkelling kit and light fishing gear—enough toys to turn the anchorage into a low-key playground without turning the deck into a plastic showroom.

If you want infinity jacuzzis and neon underwater lights, keep scrolling. If you want to charter a rigorously built Fife schooner replica, refitted in 2016, that actually sails properly and sleeps eight adults in real comfort, SUNSHINE is the serious option hiding in plain sight.
