A Brief Overview of Frivolous
Delivered in 2009 by the renowned UK shipyard, Frivolous boasts a sleek design created by industry veteran Don Shead. Made from high-quality GRP (glass-reinforced plastic), this yacht underwent an extensive refit in 2021, enhancing her elegance and functionality. Prior refit work was completed in 2016, showcasing the owner’s commitment to maintaining and upgrading this splendid vessel.
One of Sunseeker’s Most Popular Models
Frivolous is part of a celebrated collection, being one of 16 yachts from Sunseeker’s 34-metre model series. This particular line is recognized as one of the most popular of the shipyard’s creations, demonstrating Sunseeker’s mastery in blending style and performance.
Accommodation and Living Spaces
Onboard, Frivolous comfortably accommodates ten guests across a carefully designed five-cabin layout, complemented by space for six crew members in three cabins. The guest cabins are well-appointed, featuring a main deck master suite complete with a private lounge. Two VIP cabins and two twin cabins make up the guest accommodation, all equipped with en suite facilities and entertainment systems that ensure a luxurious stay.
Interior Elegance

Rich gloss cherry wood accents contrast beautifully with a neutral color palette that includes cream leather upholstery and ambient lighting. This thoughtful design fosters a refined yet comfortable atmosphere, making it an inviting retreat.
Main Salon and Entertainment Areas
The expansive main salon is a true highlight of Frivolous. Here, guests can enjoy a formal dining area alongside a comfortable lounge, both drenched in natural light filtered through full-height windows. Advanced entertainment systems ensure that every moment spent in this space is delightful.
Outdoor Luxury
One of Frivolous’s standout features is the magnificent flybridge.

It’s the perfect spot for soaking in the sun or enjoying a meal with a breathtaking backdrop.
For those who favor alfresco dining, the aft deck is another inviting area.

At the stern, a sizable swim platform provides easy access to the water, perfect for tender rides or engaging with various water toys.
