The last year has been busy for us as we continue to develop our world-class range, and we are delighted to finally show the latest designs, technical advancements and exquisite interiors to our visitors. We have missed meeting our valued clients face-to-face, and we welcome the return of boat shows thanks to the conscientious efforts made by the event organiser."
Predator 55 EVO™
Sunseeker has revolutionised its Predator range with the enviable Predator 55 EVO™. Bursting with innovation, she enjoys state-of-the-art Hydro-Pack technology which utilises a fly-by-wire steering system for exceptional agility, allowing owners to cut through the water with effortless fluency. Her arrangement promotes space maximisation to the fullest, with low-slung furniture in the saloon and a reconfigured helm console featuring touch panels and controls that intuitively fall to the hand.
The Predator 55 EVO™ enjoys remarkable interior detailing found only in larger custom yachts, from striking feature lighting to stainless steel trim on cabinetry and shelving. Owners can enjoy a generous bathing platform at the stern, with an improved tender garage design that enables smooth launch and recovery, complete with remote control operation for ease and convenience. The garage space can comfortably accommodate a 325 Williams jet tender, paddleboards, SeaBobs and diving equipment for owners to enjoy their time on the water.

The exceptional layout allows owner and guests to move effortlessly between entertaining spaces.
A key feature that truly sets the Manhattan 55 apart from its peers is the innovative powered glass cockpit/galley window that can be lowered at the touch of a button.

65 Sport Yacht
The 65 Sport Yacht is fundamentally different from the current Sunseeker range in the 60ft segment due to its sculptured exterior design, innovative helm concept and stylish interior appointments. Her sleek exterior profile, with an almost invisible minimalist bridge deck, has been enhanced by the addition of rakish hull glazing, emphasising her modern sporting prowess whilst increasing natural light into the lower deck spaces.
The dramatic exterior is a striking blend of tinted glazing, teak, carbon fibre and polished stainless steel, perfectly balancing traditional Sunseeker design concepts with cutting-edge material innovation to create a dynamic performance model.
Central to this yacht's appeal, owners can specify a revolutionary and exceptionally innovative 'SkyHelm™'. Featuring twin bolstered seats set very low on either side of a central console, the instrumentation is courtesy of a state-of-the-art glass bridge plotter complete with retro chrome dials housing LED displays.
This design sets off a very modern fully-carbon steering arm that the driver can raise to ease ingress into this racing-cockpit design or locked in a raised position for helming while standing. Cleverly, both helm seats can pivot aft for socialising, while the windscreen can also tilt up and down depending on the driver's preference and desire to be connected to the elements. Altogether, the experience is one of pure adrenaline, akin to driving a high-performance convertible supercar.

Available with twin MAN V12-1900 engines delivering 40 knots, this yacht offers performance and style with a multitude of interior and exterior design enhancements.
The new design extends throughout the interior. The use of exquisite woods, luxurious contrasting fabrics and rich lacquers throughout, paired with new indirect and dimmable lighting, creates a sophisticated and striking ambience. Bold new options include carbon fibre trims, sharp accent designs, reflective surfaces and stainless-steel cabinet detailing.
The exterior social spaces have a cutting-edge feel, with the Predator 74 XPS featuring an electric lowering carbon fibre cockpit table and enhanced upholstery across all seating and sunpads.

The vast flybridge enjoys a superb layout with beautifully appointed furniture on the spacious aft deck and the option of an infinity spa bath with sun pad. It's a brilliant space for entertaining with ample places to sit and relax thanks to companion seating adjacent to the helm and extended U-shaped seating opposite a feature wet bar with everything you could need for a fabulous get together. Owners can also opt for fixed stools to turn this into a lively bar area. The teak foredeck features another private, social space, ready for owner and guests to enjoy the ultimate yachting experience in secluded bliss.
