88 Yacht
The all-new 88 Yacht perfectly showcases Sunseeker's new-found design direction. There is an abundance of social spaces on board, making it the perfect place to spend quality time with family and friends. 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 foredeck features another private, social space with a large sunbathing area and comfortable lounge seating.
Exemplifying the very best in technical excellence, the 88 Yacht features Sunseeker's X-TEND™ transom seating system that cleverly converts at the flick of a switch, facing forward at Beach Club level to facing aft into the cockpit, offering flexibility to seating arrangements dependent on owner preference. The 88 Yacht is the perfect yacht for relaxing, entertaining and having fun with family and friends in style.
76 Yacht
The stunning, multi-award winning 76 Yacht gives you everything you want from a Sunseeker. From exceptional sea-keeping, the latest deep-V hull design to the class-leading space throughout the beautifully appointed decks. Not only does this model cut an impressive silhouette on the horizon, but an expanse of glass and sunlight also welcomes you on-board the 76 Yacht, and the main deck allows you to entertain with an almost 360-degree view of your surroundings. For 'al fresco' life, the exterior decks provide unprecedented levels of space and flexibility to suit owner needs. On the flybridge, choose a spa tub, jet-ski with crane or additional sunbeds to maximise this space. Complement the superyacht feel with any number of layouts.
The cockpit can be adapted to include additional lounge seating or a cocktail bar. At the stern, enjoy the addition of a mini beach club, complete with a barbecue grill, fold-out seating and a rain shower, perfect for entertaining family and friends. Make the most of the extended bathing platform, which can accommodate a Williams DieselJet 445, SeaBobs, and more. The impressive layout of the 76 Yacht continues on the foredeck, where large twin sunbeds, fore/aft seating and optional refrigeration ensure space maximisation for any social occasion.
Manhattan 68
Building on the exceptional family of award-winning Manhattan models, this new addition to the range has been designed to offer exceptional levels of comfort and luxury with incredible detailing. With the feel of a much larger yacht, it delivers a unique contemporary space that maximises on entertainment options.
She enjoys an expansive cockpit, main saloon area with sumptuous lounge seating and a fully equipped aft galley. The innovative and meticulous design that has gone into the layout of the main deck makes this the perfect boat for welcoming guests, with a strong focus on ambient lighting and interior detailing. From the generous saloon and upper aft galley, through to elevated companion seating at the helm, this exceptional layout allows the owner and guests to move effortlessly between spaces. Interestingly, where a lower galley is specified, the space can be utilised as an additional saloon 'snug' or feature bar, seamlessly integrating with the main living space.
The flybridge has been designed with an integrated hard-top option in mind and features large forward sunbathing areas and a second helm. It also offers extensive seating with open space for freestanding furniture customised to the owner's choice. The wet bar has been designed for multiple uses and now includes built-in storage, BBQ and refrigeration options to create the focus for yet another social and entertaining space.
Available with a range of engines including the Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1350 and Twin MAN V8 1000 or 1200, the Manhattan 68 is perfect for extended cruising with a 300-mile nautical range. Utilising space, innovation and design, the Manhattan 68 is the ideal long-range cruiser with unparalleled comfort.
Predator 65
The Predator 65 benefits from next-generation technology designed to take the stress out of boating. Installed with the latest Volvo Penta IPS System with their fully integrated pilot, engine data and navigation systems, the Predator 65 is an intuitive motor yacht capable of effortless manoeuvring and easy handling for new boat owners.
The dramatic exterior is a striking blend of tinted glazing, carbon fibre and polished stainless steel, perfectly balancing traditional Sunseeker design concepts with cutting-edge material innovation to create a dynamic performance model. A single piece windshield and newly designed Carbon Fibre sunroof floods the main deck with an abundance of natural light, bringing the owner closer to the elements than previous models.
In a standard arrangement, the aft cockpit comprises of comfortable seating backed onto a large sun pad over the garage and a social bar unit with matching stools on the port side. Owners can opt for a fully integrated wet bar or extended C-shaped lounge seating running aft from the galley across the width of the cockpit if desired. This new model benefits from an optional crew cabin, accessed via a dedicated stairwell in the aft cockpit. Below deck, the three-cabin layout provides accommodation for up to six guests.
An extra-wide tender garage allows a Williams SportJet 345 to be carried and launched via a new diagonal sliding hydraulic bathing platform. The additional garage space can store SeaBobs, inflatable paddleboards, diving equipment or racking. If specified as a Beach Club, the fully flush floor lends itself to free-standing furniture with a rain shower, lighting and speakers built into the opened door.
Altogether, the Predator 65 combines power and performance with generous cabins and a striking interior, offering a one-of-a-kind owner experience.
Manhattan 55
Exemplifying the latest in Sunseeker's exceptional design capabilities, the Manhattan 55 enhances comfort and cruising whilst providing owners with several social spaces from the vast flybridge to the generous saloon. The open-plan layout allows owner and guests to move effortlessly between entertainment 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. With the adjacent cockpit door open, this feature creates an exceptional inside/outside environment. The interiors boast exquisite attention to detail with a new palate of upholstery that provides a contemporary look. The lighting design is considered throughout and includes concealed lighting within ceiling panels and furniture. Powered by new Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, the Manhattan 55 can cruise comfortably at 25 knots with a range of 230 nautical miles or achieve more than 30 knots at full throttle.
