Sunseeker 2021. A breakthrough year. With a £38 million investment plan, the British shipyard is betting big on the three-year period 2020-2023. In fact, CEO Andrea Frabetti wants to bring Sunseeker among the international “maxi-powers” of boating(read the interview here). To do this, an expansion of the fleet and supply has been planned. And presenting five models in a year like 2021 show that the shipyard is determined to pursue the goals.
Would you like to visit the Sunseeker range? All you have to do is enter the booth at Milan Yachting Week.
The upcoming models are the Predator 55 EVO, the Manhattan 55, the 65sportyacht, the 88yacht and the 90 Ocean.
The Predator 55 EVO has a sporty imponta in the superstructure. Carbon fiber and stainless steel details combined with a sporty and elegant design. In the interiors, a fine selection of fabrics and textures. Independent dashboard seats allow the owner to enjoy its penetrating performance while sailing. A carbon-fiber sunroof with multiple glass panels and carefully designed retractable lighting makes the boat bright. The boat is available with Volvo Penta D11-725 engines with shaftline transmission for a maximum speed of 34 knots, using the fly-by-wire steering system.
Manhattan is a highly successful range from Sunseeker. The Manhattan 55 follows and has been developed to offer exceptional levels of comfort throughout the range, with a focus on convivial spaces for entertaining.
A key feature of this new model is the innovative glass cockpit/gallery that can be lowered electronically to create direct contact with the outside world. On board are three large cabins with classy finishes, with the master designed for absolute comfort. A well-equipped bathing platform with Beach Club at the stern and a cozy entertainment area at the bow make it perfect for relaxing and entertaining family and friends.
Continuing with the sporty and elegant styling, the new 65 Sport Yacht shows the new design philosophy of the next generation of Sunseeker models. It also brings a fundamentally different motor boat to the 60-foot segment.
With an almost invisible minimalist deck and significant use of glass, the deck and exterior profile is a blend of teak, carbon fiber, and polished stainless steel features. The 65 Sport Yacht’s modular dashboard can be transformed into a standard ‘Sky Lounge’ with comfortable chaise longue and companion seats or a ‘Sky Helm’ with two reinforced, lowered swivel seats on either side of a center console. The boat offers different options in propulsion. Aft then you can have an extra-large garage or a fully equipped beach club. There are three cabins on board, each with a private bathroom. There is ample room for customization.
The 88yacht that combines the feel of a superyacht with all the practical advantages of a yacht. This boat has striking exterior lines and, optionally, an elegant hardtop with a central opening canvas canopy or tilting aluminum vanes. Up to eight people, plus four crew members, can be accommodated on board. All this in luxury and comfort. The boat is capable of speeds up to 30 knots. The flybridge has a spacious deck with U-shaped seating, outdoor bar with ice-maker, grill, and two refrigerators. The Beach Club, on the other hand, with a cantilevered umbrella, can be fitted with X-TEND loungers, which, from their low-slung beach configuration, transform by rising at the flick of a switch.
The 90 Ocean, built in Poole’s “superyacht” shipyard, sees a significant increase, about 20 percent, in overall volume on this new model over its predecessor. How? Due not only to its width, but also to its vertical bow that brings forward the internal volume.
The Ocean’s 90 exterior lines have been modified to allow for a large and spacious Beach Club of over 6m x 4m, helping to bring those on board closer to the water. Not to mention ample space for a 4.6 m JetRib, a JetSki and two SeaBobs in dedicated lockers, and a large submersible ladder walkway.
The flybridge is equipped with an infinity pool and a cabinet with an integrated second barbecue. Perfect for entertaining, the space also offers a wet bar with stainless steel sink, drawer refrigerators, ice maker, and glass bar top sitting amid uninterrupted panoramic views.
Inside, the feeling of open space is enhanced by clever design and glass windows with a remarkable saloon-style attic, dining room, and kitchen. The full-beam master cabin is complete with panoramic views through 2.5-meter windows. The furnishings are carefully designed, with curved bulkheads, textured paneling, a curved sofa, a desk, and a super king-size slatted bed that offers additional storage below deck. Behind a decorative full-width mirror is a 55-inch television, again showcasing the yacht’s range of advanced technology.
