THE BOAT
Some boats are recognised by the builder's name, while others are recognisable before you even read it. This 2006 Sunseeker Portofino 47 clearly belongs to the latter group. The hardtop, long cockpit, sporting lines and sense of power belong to a generation in which Sunseeker made the Mediterranean part of its own identity.
This example combines that character with twin Volvo Penta D9-575 engines, shaft drive, Raymarine electronics, generator, climate control, hydraulic platform and an interior layout with two cabins and two bathrooms. It is a sports cruiser designed to arrive at an anchorage with presence, open the hardtop, enjoy the cockpit for hours and still retain the comfort needed to spend several days aboard without giving up the essentials.
About this Sunseeker Portofino 47
Built in 2006, this Sunseeker Portofino 47 is a sporting hardtop with CE Category A Ocean and approximately 13.31 metres of length. Its layout combines a large exterior cockpit with saloon, galley, two cabins and two bathrooms, offering an especially attractive balance between outdoor living and cruising.
The boat is powered by two 575 hp Volvo Penta D9-575 engines, with approximately 1,100 hours, shaft drive and a combined output of 1,150 hp. Navigation is supported by Raymarine electronics, autopilot, radar, Tridata, VHF and additional systems including a day/night bow camera and KVH TracVision satellite antenna.
The inventory also includes generator, climate control, hydraulic bathing platform, automatic passerelle, exterior galley, full cockpit enclosure and a recent inspection completed in March 2026, with the stated certification valid until 2031.

Why this boat stands out
What makes this Portofino 47 particularly attractive is the way it combines a very strong sporting aesthetic with a genuine cruising layout. The large cockpit and hardtop provide the outdoor experience expected of a Sunseeker, while the two cabins, two bathrooms and galley make it possible to use the boat comfortably for several days.
The Volvo Penta D9-575 engines, shaft drive, hydraulic platform and Raymarine electronics also create a very coherent technical package. It is precisely that combination of presence, performance and accommodation that continues to make the Portofino 47 special in the used sports-cruiser market.
Fontnautic opinion
For Fontnautic, this Sunseeker Portofino 47 belongs to a generation with enormous character. It comes from a period when the British builder's design language was instantly recognisable and when large open sports cruisers were conceived so that the experience of getting there was as much part of the occasion as the anchorage itself.
We particularly like the Volvo Penta D9 configuration, shaft drive and the huge exterior area protected by the hardtop. At the same time, two cabins and two bathrooms mean that the sporting character does not limit its use as a genuine cruiser.
For someone looking for a classic, powerful Sunseeker with a layout that remains highly enjoyable today, we believe this boat retains much of the appeal that made the brand famous.
