ALADDIN - Sunseeker FOR SALE

Delivered in 2017 for a seasoned yachtsman, ALADDIN is arguably the lowest-hours Sunseeker 131 tri-deck superyacht on the market today. Privately owned from new, EU VAT paid, meticulously maintained, and only lightly cruised along the Côte d’Azur—an exceptional 40m motor yacht with true luxury yacht pedigree.

Main specifications

Built by Sunseeker to the 131 Yacht platform and delivered in 2017, this tri-deck luxury motor yacht measures 40.05m (131’ 5”) with an 8.09m (26’ 7”) beam and a 2.70m (8’ 10”) draft, constructed in GRP to RINA classification. VAT is fully paid. She flies the Maltese flag with Valletta as port of registry. Designed inside and out by Sunseeker, she welcomes up to twelve guests in five staterooms comprising a full-beam master suite, two VIP suites, and two convertible twin cabins each with Pullman berths—ideal for family cruising or luxury charter—while a crew of eight is accommodated in three twin crew cabins plus two single cabins. Power comes from twin MTU 12V 4000 M93 engines delivering a planing superyacht performance with a maximum speed of twenty-two knots, a comfortable cruising speed of sixteen knots, and an economic speed of twelve and a half knots. Fuel capacity is 26,700 litres, and fresh water capacity is 4,950 litres, offering excellent autonomy for a forty-metre superyacht in the Sunseeker 40m class.

Key features

Arguably the most lightly used Sunseeker 131 on the brokerage market, this planing tri-deck superyacht has been privately operated only, with VAT paid, and specified far beyond standard with an extensive catalogue of upgrades. She presents expansive outdoor leisure decks and a striking profile with floor‑to‑ceiling glazing, while zero‑speed and underway stabilizers elevate comfort at anchor and on passage. Accommodation is arranged for up to twelve guests in five cabins—master, two VIPs, and two convertible twins—supported by quarters for up to eight crew. Performance blends confident top-end speed of twenty-two knots with practical cruising efficiency, and a comprehensive inventory of tenders and water toys is included. As a certified RYA training center, she adds a rare operational advantage for an owner-operator or luxury charter program.

Consumption figures

Her efficient operating profile is well documented: at an economic twelve and a half knots she consumes approximately 260 litres per hour, at a comfortable cruising speed of sixteen knots around 540 litres per hour, and at maximum twenty-two knots approximately 1,180 litres per hour—impressive figures for a forty‑metre luxury motor yacht.

Colours

The specification is timeless and bright: a white hull with matching hull band, a grey boot top, and a white superstructure set the tone, while the interior features gloss American walnut cabinetry, Shimmer Polar White roof linings, and “Ice” upholstery complemented by exterior “Shingle” cushions. Satin walnut plank flooring, one hundred and forty millimetres wide, flows throughout with a refined mix of timber planks and carpet to balance warmth and acoustic comfort.

Classification upgrades over standard specification

Built to RINA Rules for the Classification of Yachts Designed for Commercial Use 2013 and compliant with the MCA Large Yacht Code (LY3), she carries the operational notation PLEASURE VESSEL – RINA: C + HULL . MACH Y, Unrestricted navigation, EFP (Enhanced Fire Protection). Documentation includes the International Tonnage Certificate, Panama Canal Tonnage Certificate, and Suez Canal Tonnage Certificate, with flag registration in Malta—an ideal framework for a luxury superyacht with private or charter potential.

Interior upgrades over standard specifications

The interior is refined with electric sliding patio doors to the main deck saloon aft and to the upper deck saloon aft, full‑height glass to port and starboard in the main deck saloon, and medium‑tint solar film to side windows and sliders for glare control. Lower deck cabins are fitted with electric blackout blinds; powered blinds also serve the main deck master, the port aft and starboard aft guest staterooms, and both forward guest staterooms. The master suite gains a Dometic HiPro mini‑bar and a concealed Dometic Safe MD 281C, while both forward guest cabins feature Pullman berths and sliding beds to convert between double and twin layouts. Throughout, sprung mattresses enhance rest, Turnstyle leather with polished chrome door furniture adds tactile luxury, and a second helm seat is installed in the wheelhouse. The upper deck saloon is provisioned for entertaining with a Vitrifrigo Classic icemaker, a Miele under‑counter refrigerator, and a dedicated wine cooler; the Vimar By‑Me lighting system is controllable from interior touch screens and mirrored on the wheelhouse bridge touch display, ensuring seamless ambience control across this tri‑deck motor yacht.

Electrical upgrades over standard specification

Her electrical and communications package is both robust and future‑ready: a Kahlenberg Chimetone D1 twin‑trumpet horn crowns the forward brow; Aquasignal Series 55 halogen navigation lights provide clear signalling; and the yacht is pre‑wired for VSAT with all power supplies, with a Starlink maritime antenna already installed and operational. Laundry capacity is doubled with a second set of Miele Professional machines—washer and tumble dryer—complementing the primary Miele units. Shore power is exceptionally flexible: one one‑hundred‑and‑twenty‑five‑amp, twenty‑metre flexible cable on an electric reeler and a second one‑hundred‑and‑twenty‑five‑amp, twenty‑metre loose cable via fixed inlet feed an Atlas 90 kVA SPA‑II shore power converter (input 180–530V three‑phase up to 90 kVA; output 230/400V, fifty hertz, three‑phase, 90 kVA). Interior AC sockets are European two‑pin, and key generator parameters are displayed via Tijssen, with remote VPN access for the Tijssen Elektro factory enabled under captain‑approval control. The Tijssen suite integrates fire alarm monitoring with pop‑up alerts, AC and DC power monitoring and display, an eight‑camera CCTV system with recorder (main deck aft entry, two engine room PTZ 360°, port and starboard side decks viewing aft, tender garage, upper deck aft cockpit, and sky deck aft), and comprehensive MPA control with Master touchscreen displays of seventeen inches, nineteen inches in the wheelhouse, fifteen inches in the crew mess, and seventeen inches in the tech room. It supervises and controls major fluid pumps (fuel transfer, black and grey), engine room ventilation, navigation lights, AC and DC switchgear status, exhaust temperatures, tank levels (diesel, fresh, grey, black, and oil), portlights and hatches, and bilge water levels across thirteen compartments. Upgrades include MPA generator control for full parameter and alarm management from the Tijssen touchscreens, a fifteen‑inch slave display in the engine room, swipe‑card security integrated into MPA, two LED up‑lighters for the navigation mast, and twin shorelines for PABX and external Ethernet—an ideal backbone for a modern superyacht.

Engineering upgrades over standard specification

Mechanical systems are engineered for reliability and finesse. ABT‑TRAC supplies hydraulics for bow and stern thrusters, stabilizers, foredeck windlasses, and aft capstans, driven by a 140cc load‑sense pump on each gearbox PTO and two 75cc load‑sense pumps via twenty‑four‑volt clutched PTOs on the main and second generators. Climate control is by Marine Air MCG V120 modular chillers—four units at 120,000 BTU each—with two Marine Air VCD27K self‑contained 54,000 BTU units dedicated to the engine room. Fuel is polished by an Alfa Laval MIB303 centrifugal separator (240V, single‑phase, fifty hertz, 760 l/h). Manoeuvring finesse is enhanced by Auto Troll transmission control for slow‑speed handling. The bilge system uses a Gianneschi self‑priming centrifugal pump (400V, three‑phase, fifty hertz, 7.5 kW) as primary in the engine room with a secondary Gianneschi self‑priming centrifugal hydrant‑shared pump powered by an independent diesel engine in the pump room, all valved to strum boxes throughout, plus an MTU‑fitted starboard engine direct bilge pump with strum box. Waste systems include an integral GRP black water tank of 1,340 litres with Gianneschi 400V three‑phase macerating discharge to shore facility, overboard per MARPOL, or to sewage treatment. Fuel storage is comprehensive: a 19,000‑litre main tank, a 3,900‑litre day tank replenished via AC transfer, and a 5,700‑litre long‑range integral tank. Fire‑fighting is robust with Gianneschi primary and a Yanmar diesel‑driven secondary hydrant pump in the pump room and a dedicated hose station, complemented by a Fireboy‑Xintex Syncro ASM detection system with Apollo smoke/heat detectors across accommodation and a galley heat detector, all repeated on the MPA. Fresh water is held in a WRAS‑approved integral GRP tank of 5,200 litres, pressurized by twin Gianneschi duplex self‑priming pumps (400V, three‑phase, fifty hertz, 100 l/min each) and purified via a General Ecology Seagull IV X‑2BK system serving the galley, upper deck servery, crew mess, and two independent icemakers. Power comes from two Kohler 75 kW 400/230V three‑phase fifty hertz generators (80EFOZDJ) with sound shields. Grey water drains via Tecma 240V transfer units to a large gravity‑fed manifold and into a 1,250‑litre integral tank, discharging via Gianneschi macerating pump either overboard, to black water for shoreside removal, or to the sewage plant. Domestic hot water is supplied by two Surejust horizontal two‑hundred‑litre stainless steel calorifiers, each with three two‑kilowatt 230V three‑phase immersion heaters and a sixty‑litre expansion tank, with hot/cold ring main circulation pumps (230V, single‑phase, fifty hertz, 120W) running continuously across lower and main decks. Thrusters are ABT‑TRAC hydraulics: a one‑hundred‑horsepower twin‑blade, opposed twenty‑inch bow unit and a sixty‑five‑horsepower twin‑blade, opposed sixteen‑inch stern unit. Potable water quality is assured with a Hydrosil dosing unit from the starboard aft service locker or watermaker feed, plus an Octo Marine Compact fresh‑water softener located in the garage. Service equipment includes an OP20P portable air compressor (AC 220V) in the engine room and a Reverso portable electric oil transfer system with quick‑couplings for engines, gearboxes, and generators. Fixed protection is by Sea‑Fire FM‑200 H‑Series in the machinery space. Black and grey water are processed by an ECOmar 32 SX‑R plant (3,200 litres/day, 230V, single‑phase, fifty hertz). Trailing pumps safeguard gearbox lubrication during windmilling on one engine or under tow. An Idromar watermaker delivers three hundred and seventy‑five litres per hour—ideal autonomy for a blue‑water superyacht.

Deck upgrades over standard specification

On deck, safety and guest comfort are equally prioritized. Lifesaving is covered by four Zodiac SOLAS A life rafts for ten persons each. The garage door’s moulded return carries six sixty‑five‑millimetre LED lights, while all teak decks are finished with grey caulking in lieu of black for a contemporary aesthetic. Boarding is effortless via a Besenzoni hydraulic three‑stage telescopic stainless‑steel passerelle of five point eight metres and a Marquip eight‑step side‑mount staircase with dedicated stowage port and starboard; a carbon‑fibre and polished stainless ensign staff suits a two‑and‑a‑half‑yard ensign. Exterior AC 220V sockets are thoughtfully placed at the sky deck wet bar, in the forepeak locker, at the upper deck aft cockpit servery, and by the wheelhouse deck seating. Relaxation is assured with four Summit SD345 sun loungers on the sky deck in Sunbrella Shingles, complemented by a removable polished stainless bathing ladder with teak treads and a removable overhead shower stand on the platform. The hydraulically rising, lowering, and tilting bathing platform lifts up to two thousand kilograms, perfect for tenders and toys, supported by hot and cold freshwater wash‑down points. Upper deck aft loose furniture includes Fischer Möbel pieces from the SUITE collection, plus four Summit teak chairs and four Summit side tables. Sun protection options abound: a retractable electric sun awning in Sunbrella Plus Silver shades the aft sky deck, and forward on the sky deck, sail canopies with stainless poles and integrated rope tensioning create a versatile lounge. The radar is finished in white and blue epoxy with the navigation mast in white epoxy. Practical details include natural teak plinths either side of the tender recovery recess in the garage aperture with grey‑caulked teak infills; port and starboard stainless‑steel stern hawse openings through the aft bulwarks for stern‑to mooring or towing; seawater pressure wash for the anchor chains with outlets in each hawse; and a second pair of mooring bollards on the forepeak. Entertaining features extend to a Waeco Coolmatic refrigerator and a Vitrifrigo Classic icemaker on the sky deck, beneath a GRP hardtop, together with a special circular ten‑seat dining table with a lazy Susan on the forward sky deck. Handling and operations are assisted by port and starboard wing stations at the main wheelhouse, two Lewmar C10 hydraulic stern capstans, a tender diesel fuelling station with transfer pump from the day tank and a fuel hose reel, two lengths of seventeen‑and‑a‑half‑millimetre high‑tensile galvanized stud‑link chain of one hundred and sixty‑five metres each, two Manson Ray 210‑kilogram galvanized bow anchors, and a dramatic underwater lighting package of twenty‑one Lumishore TIX601‑FF‑W white LEDs—five across the transom and eight along each side—for an unmistakable superyacht signature at night.
