Behind the Listing: Ed Cavendish on Why MERCY OCEANS Stands Out

When talking about MERCY OCEANS, it’s clear this isn’t just another 35-metre performance yacht. It’s a Sunseeker 116 done properly, specified without compromise, privately used from day one and kept at exactly the high level as you’d hope.

Built by Sunseeker and delivered in 2018, MERCY OCEANS was constructed to RINA Commercial standards and is fully compliant with MCA LY3. From a buyer’s perspective, that matters. It means flexibility. She can remain a private yacht or step straight into charter service without a headache. As her broker, Ed Cavendish, puts it, “The 116 is a proven charter platform, but MERCY OCEANS is one of the few that’s never actually been chartered. She’s had minimal private use, and it shows.”

What sets the Sunseeker 116 apart is volume and light. MERCY OCEANS leans into that advantage hard. The main salon is flooded with daylight thanks to full-height windows, opening doors on both sides, and overhead skylights that are still rare in this size range. It’s a space that feels open, calm and connected to the sea. The layout works equally well for relaxed family cruising or entertaining guests, with a proper dining area, generous lounge seating and clean sightlines straight out to the water.

The owner’s suite is another area where buyers tend to pause. Located forward on the main deck, it delivers uninterrupted sea views through floor-to-ceiling glass and cutaway bulwarks. Two walk-in wardrobes and a standout open-plan ensuite with heated marble floors and a central rainfall shower underline that this yacht was built for owners who planned to spend real time onboard, not just weekend hops.

Below deck, the accommodation remains consistent and well thought through. Two VIP cabins and two twin cabins, all ensuite, make MERCY OCEANS particularly strong for family use or charter flexibility. Crew accommodation for five ensures smooth operation without crowding guest spaces.

Outside, the yacht plays to her Mediterranean brief. The aft deck centres around a bar that links directly to the main salon and swim platform. The flybridge is expansive, with a second bar, dining, sun loungers and a retractable sunshade. Forward, the foredeck spa terrace is a genuine highlight. It’s private, sheltered, and ideal whether in port or at anchor.

Performance is the final piece. “You can cruise comfortably at 20 knots,” Ed notes, “which really sets her apart as a true go-anywhere yacht.” Add low engine hours, TRAC fin stabilisation, tropical air-conditioning with quiet interior fans and upgraded AV and security systems, and MERCY OCEANS presents as a turnkey option with no excuses attached.

Offered for sale at €9,000,000, MERCY OCEANS is a sharp, well-specified example of one of Sunseeker’s strongest platforms. She’s clean, fast, light-filled and ready for her next owner.
