Although the last year may have felt like the world has stood still, we’re not seeing that evidenced here at Sunseeker. Like many member businesses, we lost three months production during the first lockdown as we supported the requirement for the majority of staff to stay home. Many functions however were able to continue from home including design, engineering and sales support, all critical in ensuring we have the very latest, cutting-edge innovative models to launch year-round.
So it is with immense pride and satisfaction that Sunseeker is this month launching five new exciting models at the same time, a feat never before seen in the company’s history. Sunseeker’s ‘famous five’ global premieres are the Predator 55 EVO™, Manhattan 55, 65 Sport Yacht, 88 Yacht and 90 Ocean. Already, the first boats have left the shipyard and are now being delivered to customers.
The Manhattan 55 and Predator 55 EVO™ belong to the smaller range of yachts on offer. The overall design of these models has been elevated, excelling in practicality, finish and detail with brand new interior designs from a class above.
The 65 Sport Yacht is a truly unique project. The skilled team responsible for the new model has created something truly exceptional and unlike any other yacht in the mid-range market. Sunseeker’s dynamic integration of carbon fibre and the latest IPS drives maximises interior volume whilst enhancing performance but it is the integrated SkyHelm that commands attention; delivering a sporty side profile with an almost invisible flybridge featuring supercar-like seats set low to the floor. With 2,000hp on tap, it’s going to be a blast!
Sunseeker sits at the forefront of cutting-edge design but practicality, comfort and luxury are also a top priority. The two larger models being launched offer completely different styles of boating to suit individual preference.
Sunseeker has revolutionised its Yacht range with the 88 Yacht’s considered layout, maximising opulent living spaces with exceptional detail both to the exterior and interior. Exemplifying the very best in technical excellence, the 88 Yacht features Sunseeker’s X-TEND™ system, transom seating that cleverly converts at the flick of a switch, from rearward facing at Beach Club level to forward facing at deck level. Beneath, is an overhead rain-shower and plentiful stowage including dedicated lockers for two underwater Seabobs with charging points, an extended bathing platform for your tender and even a flybridge crane for a jet ski. This is the perfect yacht for relaxing, entertaining and having fun in style.
Last, but by no means least, the 90 Ocean belongs to an entirely new range of Sunseeker yachts. The Ocean range sharply focuses on providing ultimate comfort, volumous interiors, unparalleled efficiency and over-sized Beach Club’s that help bring you closer to the water than ever before, crafted to enhance the experience for all those on board. Exciting new developments are in the pipeline for the Ocean range, with future models coming soon.
Andrea Frabetti, CEO at Sunseeker International, commented: “This is a world first for Sunseeker and we are delighted to bring not one, but five new models to the market at the same time. Each of these innovative yachts, from the dynamic Predator 55 EVO™ to the industry-defining 90 Ocean exudes luxury and panache whilst benefitting from the very latest technology, engineering and design excellence. We have pushed the boundaries to deliver novel solutions, innovating at every opportunity. These new models are imbued with Sunseeker style and passion, poured lovingly into every yacht from conception to build. We are incredibly proud of all of them and believe, given their incredible designs, they will yet again define their respective segments.”
As you have seen, Sunseeker is passionate about new product development and we’ve remained singular in our focus during a difficult year to deliver what we hope will be future leaders in their respective segments. And we remain devoted; investing over £38 million in new product development until 2023, our range will double to a total of 22 models.
