LUCIEN

LUCIEN is a 40.05-metre motor yacht built by Sunseeker in 2010 to the 40 Metre Yacht model, registered in the Cayman Islands. She is one of the larger examples of British builder Sunseeker's in-house design philosophy — both exterior and interior conceived by the yard's own studio — and her GRP construction reflects the production quality standards that established Sunseeker's reputation in the late 2000s.

With capacity for 12 guests across seven cabins and a crew of seven, LUCIEN offers a notably generous cabin count relative to her length, suggesting a layout that prioritises sleeping accommodation. She operates across a broad western Mediterranean sweep: the French Riviera, Monaco, Cannes, St Tropez, Sardinia, the Balearics, Ibiza, Mallorca, Greece, Mykonos, Santorini, and Turkey. This range makes her a flexible charter yacht for clients who value geographic versatility. Her high maximum speed of 30 knots — paired with a 14-knot cruise — gives her genuine passage-making pace, though no range figure is on record. Those requiring a stabilised passage experience or extended blue-water capability may wish to look at displacement alternatives.

Her character is defined by the Sunseeker house style of that era: a bold, sport-forward profile with a generous flybridge and a layout that keeps the main social spaces open and connected. The deck jacuzzi, sun deck, sunpads, exterior bar, and swimming platform represent the essential Mediterranean charter configuration, executed without excess. Bow and stern thrusters add manoeuvrability in confined marina berths, which her size demands.

The water sports selection includes e-foils, a kayak, paddleboard, and inflatable toys — a modest but serviceable range for a vessel of this profile. The seven-person crew maintains a one-to-one service ratio with guests, appropriate for a yacht where the sailing schedule is as much a feature as the onboard facilities.

The provisional rating is based on available public data, reflecting acceptable standards across safety documentation, maintenance records, and operational protocols.
