28m Sunseeker NIGORA Offered for Caribbean Winter 2026/27 Charter

NIGORA offered for Caribbean winter holidays

The 28.07-metre Sunseeker motor yacht NIGORA is listed for Caribbean and Bahamas charters during winter 2026/27, including the sought-after Christmas period highlighted in a 15 October holiday-yacht roundup. Delivered in 2025, she is a comparatively recent charter addition, combining a fast cruising profile with accommodation for up to ten guests. The yacht is marketed for smaller family and friendship groups rather than the large parties accommodated by some multi-deck megayachts.

Charter details have to be checked for specific dates, because a listing of seasonal cruising grounds does not guarantee availability for every holiday week. Her published rate starts at approximately $90,000 a week plus expenses in the winter low season, rising for high-demand periods. Prospective guests should request a current quote that identifies the embarkation port, applicable taxes, advance provisioning allowance and precise contract terms.

A 2025 Sunseeker with five guest cabins

Built by Britain's Sunseeker in 2025, NIGORA belongs to the yard's 95 Yacht family. Her published length is 28.07 metres, with a beam of 6.55 metres and a draft around 2.13 metres. An elevated pilothouse helps create additional usable space on the main deck, while the contemporary accommodation is arranged for ten guests. A professional crew of four is listed to manage guest service and the operation of the yacht.

The five-cabin layout includes a main-deck master suite, a VIP, additional double accommodation and convertible twin rooms according to charter material. The flexibility of the twin cabins may suit groups combining parents, children and friends, but the final berths and sleeping arrangement should be confirmed directly with the broker. A detailed deck plan is especially helpful for guests who need privacy or who have mobility considerations.

Full-beam principal suite on the main deck

One of NIGORA's distinctive features is the full-beam main-deck principal suite, a level of accommodation often associated with significantly larger yachts. The raised pilothouse concept makes it possible to locate that private suite above the lower guest deck without sacrificing all the main-deck living space. Extensive glazing brings natural light into the central saloon, giving the interior a relatively open feel.

A suite of this kind can provide a quiet retreat during an active island itinerary. Yet prospective charterers should check access between decks, the actual number of ensuite bathrooms and where guest circulation crosses crew working areas. Those details can matter more over a week aboard than the headline size of the master cabin. The yacht's plans and current photography should inform expectations.

Flybridge designed for outdoor socialising

NIGORA's flybridge is described by her charter managers as the principal outdoor gathering area. It combines dining space with a grill, wet bar, sunpads and a retractable canopy, allowing guests to alternate between shade and open sky. An additional foredeck seating area offers a more private place to sit, while the aft deck connects the interior with views over the anchorage. The layout suits the warm-weather emphasis of a Caribbean season.

Underway, guests must use appropriate seating and observe the crew's instructions. The position of furniture that is attractive at anchor does not necessarily make it suitable for every passage. Weather, swell and local wind conditions can change the plan for an evening meal or time on the upper deck. A flexible itinerary allows guests to enjoy whichever outdoor space is most comfortable on a particular day.

Fold-down balcony and a sea-level platform

The main saloon opens to a fold-down balcony on the starboard side, giving guests another connection with the water when the yacht is stationary in an appropriate location. At the stern, a hydraulic swim platform helps with water access and the handling of leisure equipment. These elements create different choices for guests who wish to spend time outside without always taking the tender ashore.

Access to the sea is governed by the captain's assessment of local conditions, vessel movements and the use of other equipment. Currents, nearby traffic and protected-area rules can limit swimming or anchoring. Passengers should understand that a comfortable platform is not itself proof that the water is suitable. The crew's local planning remains essential to a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Seabobs and tender for more active guests

NIGORA's advertised watersports collection includes two F9S SEABOB underwater scooters, paddleboard, snorkelling and fishing equipment, as well as a Williams tender listed at about 4.6 metres. A wakeboard and towable tube are also specified in broker material. This collection provides options for guests who enjoy active time in the water, while others may prefer quiet days aboard or visits to Caribbean beaches.

The ability to deploy each toy depends on conditions, operating rules and the crew's safety plan. Some equipment requires instruction or supervision, and availability can change as items are serviced or replaced. A charter broker should confirm the inventory before the agreement is signed if a particular activity is important to the holiday. Local regulations can also restrict powered watersports in certain bays.

Performance between island destinations

The yacht's twin MTU diesels give a quoted cruising speed of twenty-four knots and a top speed of approximately twenty-six knots. Charter specifications also cite a range around 1,400 nautical miles at an economical twelve-knot speed, showing that fast cruising and long-range economy should not be treated as interchangeable. Actual consumption and passage times vary with fuel load, sea state and operating speed.

For charter itineraries, speed can help guests move between islands without devoting every morning to long passages. But a reasonable route still needs to account for customs formalities, local weather, anchorage suitability and arrival times. The captain's advice should guide decisions when a schedule becomes too ambitious. The attraction is flexibility, not an obligation to visit the maximum number of ports in one week.

Booking terms for the 2026/27 season

IYC's current charter information identifies the Caribbean cruising season from October 2026 through April 2027 and lists winter rates between $90,000 and $100,000 per week plus expenses. Those are indicative market figures rather than a confirmed quotation for any particular Christmas date. The yacht is also marketed for Western Mediterranean cruising during the warmer months, with a different currency and seasonal schedule.

Guests considering winter dates should check the exact location of NIGORA, number and ages of passengers, sleeping arrangements and the activities they expect to enjoy. The full financial picture includes charter fee, expenses, tax treatment where applicable and crew gratuity arrangements. With a recent Sunseeker design and a strong focus on social deck space, NIGORA offers a distinctive option for a smaller private group, subject to confirmed availability.
