Accommodation

If hosting guests overnight is your top priority, then the Sunseeker Ocean 460 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 12 guests with its 6 cabin layout option. Nonetheless, competitors like the Gulf Craft 140 have a slight edge in guest accommodation, with the capacity to sleep up to 14 guests in 7 cabins. This makes them more suitable for those looking to maximize the number of family and friends accommodated onboard. The Ocean 460 benefits from a full-beam master cabin with an en-suite bathroom, a study and a walk-in wardrobe is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Sunseeker 131 and Custom Line 42 are tailored for somewhat smaller groupsoffering up to 5 cabins, yet can still deliver an outstanding level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Sunseeker Ocean 460 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 21 knots.
