Sunseeker Yachts: The Complete Guide to Sunseeker Yachts

Last Updated on November 8, 2021 by Boatsetter Team

Sunseeker yachts are James Bond-worthy. They have dazzled screens in  Die Another Day, Casino Royale,  and  Quantum of Solace .

Tuxedo on, martini in hand, you too can experience what a luxury yacht feels like with  Boatsetter .

Headquartered in the seaside town of Poole, England, Sunseeker is the largest UK-based luxury yacht, maker. Originally named Poole Power Boats, Sunseeker was the brainchild of brothers Robert and John Braithwaite way back in the heady year of 1969. Harnessing revolutionary materials and technology, the Braithwaite brothers dreamt of building boats of the future. Their early designs were tailored to a handful of customers, keen to embrace the newfound freedoms of the decade.

But things got off to a bumpy start. Across the pond in the United States of America, the owner of Poole Powerboats, Owens Cruisers, decided to close their British operation down and focus instead on domestic production. This was when Robert saw an opportunity. With a bundle of hastily borrowed cash, he drove to Owen’s offices in the sleepy town of Arundel and successfully negotiated the purchase of their boat molds.

Although a small problem remained: he had never built a seagoing craft before.

First came the Sovereign 17 in 1971, followed closely by the Sovereign 20. By the close of the decade, Sunseeker yachts were selling well in the UK and northern Europe. Sunseeker had arrived.

The rest is history.

A leap of  courage  and  imagination  inspired Sunseeker in its early days. In fact, few manufacturers have pioneered as many innovations in the yachting world as Sunseeker. These include duoprops, stern -driven race-bred Arneson surface drives, and a water jet powering system – previously thought impossible.

Now, these bold traits have become the hallmarks of a Sunseeker yacht. Above all, a Sunseeker yacht will give customers exactly what they want. Its expert teams have designed unprecedented and ultimately  successful  yachts to realize their dreams, ensuring that each one is as unique as its customers. This refreshing and prolific stance puts distance between them and their competitors. Not to mention bringing  fabulous  vessels to the waves.  

Capitalizing on the skills passed down from generation to generation, each sunseeker is a triumph in  craftsmanship . While harnessing the best of what digital production and automated assembly have to offer, Sunseeker yachts remain  hand-built  and  hand-finished . Why? Because there is no better way of making the unique, remarkable, and ultimately exceptional.

Sport Yacht

Sleek and powerful

Magnificently crafted, expertly finished and composed of raw, unassailable quality materials, every Sunseeker Sport Yacht seamlessly blends elegance and performance. Their two most popular sport yachts are the  74 Sports Yacht  and the  65 Sports Yacht .

The  74 Sports Yacht  is the best of both worlds. This beauty is enhanced by cutting-edge technology and elegant finishes throughout and everything you and your many guests could wish for. Speaking of which, it can accommodate eight passengers plus two crew members.

In a world where distance is everything. The  74 Sports Yacht  has a freshwater capacity of 800 liters (211 US Gal.) and a fuel capacity of 4,800 litres (1,268 US Gal.). This lavishes drivers with a range of up to 900 nautical miles and maximum speeds of up to 38 knots.

Sport, sleek and wonderfully spacious best describe the interior of the  74 Sports Yacht . This is a yacht built to impress. It has copious amounts of entertaining space, including plenty of comfortable seating, large sun pads (both back and front), and the bridge deck seductively shades the cockpit .

The newer  65 Sport Yacht  is a trailblazer. And inside it, you will be one too. Take your holidays to new heights with the yacht’s direct sea access, bar, fridge, BBQ, and free-standing seating. Together these are the perfect spaces for water-loving nymphs and party animals.

20.50 meters (67′ 2″) in length and with a beam of 5.10 (16′ 8″), space is not a premium on the  65 Sport Yacht . With three cabins – including a full-beam master stateroom – it can comfortably accommodate up to 7 guests and 1 crew in absolute luxury. The main deck has a large C shaped sofa and offers options of additional seating with a TV. All of which amounts to a versatile space that adapts seamlessly to all kinds of socializing and adrenaline-seeking.

When you wish to tear up the waves, the innovative Sky Helm of the  65 Sport Yacht , complete with IPS driving joystick, is there. It allows the boat to be sailed while the driver is standing in an upright position, or it can be lowered to fall perfectly into outstretched arms.

The water shark

The Predator range is mythical. Coming in sizes from 50′ to 77′, every boat is a head -turner. Sunseeker has ensured it is strikingly styled, expertly made, and nimble on its hull . The fastest predator models will achieve speeds over 45 knots.

Winner of the prestigious 2019 Motor Boat Awards, the  Predator 50  is ideal for spontaneous adventures or the afternoon adrenaline rush.

Its interior is awe-inspiring. There is plenty of space to host friends, family, or corporate colleagues with space for up to six guests. Plus, each cabin is designed to impress. Sunseeker’s British interior designer’s attention to detail has created the perfect blend of comfort and elegance, especially with their open spaces and large windows, which allow the magical light of a summer sunset to flood in. This is enhanced by an open plan design that boasts a fully opening hardtop roof and fully opening cockpit glazing – bringing the outside inside.

And let us not forget the  Predator 60 Evo . The first model of Sunseeker’s major new product development plan, this bold yacht is tailored for practicality and performance. On the waves, the  Predator 60 Evo  packs a punch. It can glide across the waves at speeds of up to 32 knots. This is matched with its sharp, impressive figure, which allows for unrivaled agility on the open water. The sporty posture of the  Predator 60 Evo  is complemented by a bold, modern interior design. The white finish of the interior and furnishings only aid this sleek feeling.

The conquerors of distance

In this collection are the  Manhattan 68, Manhattan 66, Manhattan   52,  and the  Manhattan 55 .

Fitted with Volvo Penta d13-800 engines, the  Manhattan 55  can cruise comfortably at 25 knots with a range of 250 nautical miles. Or, if you need a speedy getaway, it can be cranked up to an excess of 30 knots at full throttle. Think where you could go with that fuel capacity of 2,200 liters (580 US gal.).

An attractive aspect of the  Manhattan 55  that truly distinguishes it from the crowd is the revolutionary glass-cockpit and gallery window, which can be dropped with the touch of a button, creating a fantastic inside/outside environment. 

Speaking of design capabilities, the exceptional yacht has been meticulously crafted to maximize comfort and cruising, as well as providing owners with a vast array of social spaces – something typically limited to larger yachts.

Length: 21 m (69′). Beam: 5.25 m (17.3′). Range: 550 nautical miles. Maximum speed: 32 knots. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Well, these are the specs of the  Manhattan 68 . Building upon the exceptional family of award-winning Manhattan models, this yacht redefines luxury and relaxation. Across the main deck, keen attention has been paid to create social spaces fit for a king. It can accommodate up to 8 guests and two crew members.

Performance

Built for speed

Sunseeker’s Performance range does what it says on the tin: perform. Capitalizing on Sunseeker’s incredible racing heritage, every boat in this series is a masterpiece in speed. The Performance range dares you to dare, like never before.  

Following several long years of intense speculation, the  Hawk 38  arrived on the yachting scene with much fanfare. It had been almost 20 years since the British shipyard had last launched a proper performance boat. And it was worth the wait. Motorboat & Yachting Magazine called it Sunseeker’s  coolest boat ever . Boasting a range of up to 200 nautical miles, the  Hawk 38  has a maximum speed of 62 knots. Yes, you read that right, 62 knots.

No wonder the  Hawk 38  has won 43 World Speed Records and 55 World Championships.

Coming in bright Marlin Blue, fiery Sunfast Red or ice cool Super Jet Black, the  Hawk 38  can dazzle onlookers on the beach. Its Spradling Marine Silvertex coated fabrics are engineered and tested to resist the toughest marine conditions, ensuring that the vessel remains in its prime.

The  Hawk 38  is packed with an array of high-tech features; 

• Inflatable STAB (stabilizing tubes)to keep the boat stable against whatever odds the ocean may throw at it
• Simrad 16″ Navigation display
• Smart, adjustable steering wheel with function buttons to control it
• Mercury Verado dual-engine Hydraulic Power Steering 
• Mercury Vessel View link, which interfaces with engine data to display engine temperature, pressure, engine alarms, fuel tank level and engine battery voltages via an app. .

Sunseeker’s  Superyachts  are the largest and most extravagant amongst all their ranges. Inspiring and adaptable, these yachts represent the Sunseeker’s knack for style, design, practicality and ingenuity  par excellence . At present, there are four beauties in this range, each one a tribute to British engineering:  50M Ocean ,  52M Ocean ,  131 Yacht  and the  116 Yacht.   

When Sunseeker launched the  50M Ocean , they said that a ‘new dawn had arrived.’ The tri-deck yacht offers beautiful space and volume. It can accommodate up to 10 guests in five cabins under the standard configuration yet has upgradable options for 12 guests – depending on your needs. Indeed, the already opulent interior spaces of the  50M Ocean  can be styled to each buyer’s personal preferences thanks to Sunseeker’s renowned ‘Bespoke’ Service.

Read more about this customization service  here . It is beyond par.

Space and flexibility characterise the theme of the  50M Ocean . It contains a wealth of compelling features, all to maximize the pleasure of passengers. Typically belonging to larger craft only, there is a plunge pool on the main deck and a delectable beach club at the rear of the yacht. This amounts to a fantastic area for revealing in the water.

Another tri-deck, the Sunseeker  131 Yacht  epitomizes all that the British shipyard has got right over the decades. Grandiose yet gracious, this behemoth can sleep up to 12 guests (and 9 crew) in sheer luxury and comfort. It has a range of up to 1,600 nautical miles at 12 knots. Just think of where you could go in that distance.

The interior is finished with ultra-modern materials and techniques. While on the upper deck, you will find the sky lounge, cocktail bar, and Skydeck, which commands awe-inspiring views of the night’s sky; the main deck is complete with a lounge, dining area, and full galley . 

Like the  50M Ocean , the  131 Yacht  comes with the ‘Bespoke’ Service, meaning that the interior is fully customizable according to the buyer’s taste. This is the king of all yachts as impressive out in the open water as it is in the harbor.

About the Sunseeker London Group

In 1993 together, Managing Director David Lewis and Sales Director Chris Head (in left figure) established Sunseeker London, that has today become the head office for the largest distributor network of Sunseeker boats worldwide, which year on year sells over 60% of the Sunseeker production. With growth at the heart of the business, both men who are spearheading the award-winning company have developed a strategy which is underpinned by three core principles: to expand into new territories; to build on its online brokerage platform (sunseekerbrokerage.com); and control the stock of boats in the supply chain – these are key to the company’s success.

Thanks to the men spearheading the business, Sunseeker London is proud to have expanded in such a phenomenal way. Located in Mayfair, the group’s HQ sells to an international clientele worldwide and is the official and leading distributor for new and pre-owned luxury Sunseeker motor yachts ranging from 38ft to 161ft. David who has been in the boating industry since his late teens, previously owning David Lewis Yachts comments, “We’ve been running the company very tight since its inception, which has made our cashflow strong, which is quite unusual in our industry.”

With 41 offices in over 20 countries, the Sunseeker London Group is now the official and exclusive distributor for Sunseeker products in the UK and a major part of Europe and Northern Africa, as such this has allowed the group to have a centralised support network and a team of engineers that fly out at a drop of a hat to customers Europe-wide, ensuring that we maintain our award-winning customer service.

The Sunseeker Story

Back in 1969, in the English seaside town of Poole, two brothers had a vision of building a new kind of boat. They saw a unique opportunity to fulfil their customers’ dreams by using novel materials and innovative technology to tailor the design process.

At the time, there were simply no significant boat builders around for the sport and leisure markets in the UK. Having negotiated a deal to acquire the boat moulds from the US company Owners Cruises, the Braithwaite brothers now had a huge challenge on their hands. They wanted to build a boat that no-one else was making.

The first boats that the company produced were small open-cockpit speedboats with deepchine hulls. By 1972, the Braithwaite brothers were exhibiting at the London Boat Show with a range that included a striking new 23ft model.

One visitor, none other than the Formula One driver Henry Taylor, absolutely fell in love with the boat but wanted to incorporate a never before- thought-of feature – a full width sun bed. In true Sunseeker style, the team showed no limits and set about designing the new boat specifically for Mr Taylor. Riding this wave of early triumph, the company was perfectly positioned to fulfil the demands of the growing day cruiser market. They launched the Sports 23 and the Daycab 23 – the first boat to carry the new Sunseeker name.

Sunseekers were selling well in the UK and northern Europe but the Braithwaite’s were determined to achieve what no UK boat owner had yet taken on – they wanted to break into the Mediterranean market.

By employing the skills of boat designer Don Shead, the Offshore 28 came into being. The model combined the comfort of a cruiser with the twin driver power and hull lines of an offshore racer and set the precedence for performance standards and luxurious styles attributed to the brand. The Offshore 28 was Sunseeker’s first big boat and won sales in the South of France, Spain and Germany, leading to the launch of Sunseeker International.

Now, over half a century onwards, Sunseeker International has a worldwide network of over 80 retail and service locations, exporting over 140 boats a year to more than 45 countries. Still, Sunseeker’s passion to seek perfection and exceed boundaries remains stronger than ever and it now has a dedicated team of over 2,000 highly skilled designers, engineers and master craftsmen to realise these goals.

In 1993 David and Christopher set up and independent organisation for the sale of Sunseeker Boats: Sunseeker London.

With the global growth of the Sunseeker brand, David and Chris set up the Sunseeker London Group to dominate the European sales market - one that they knew would be a success. Founder of Sunseeker Robert Braithwaite comments, "David, Chris and the team are instrumental in bringing the sunseeker business to where it is today."

Craftsmanship & Design Process

Individuality is at the heart of both our service and our luxury motor yachts here at Sunseeker. It is this element of Sunseeker London that creates a boat that is uniquely yours. It goes far beyond the choice of woods or fabrics to encompass vital aspects of your personality and lifestyle that will be reflected in your boat. As part of the design process, we encourage all our clients to make a personal visit to the Sunseeker factory in Poole, giving them the opportunity to meet the designers, learn about the unique manufacturing techniques and appreciate the build quality that puts the Sunseeker brand in a league of its own.

In an age of digital production and automated assembly, we stay committed to creating hand built, hand finished boats as there is no better way to craft such an exceptional product inside and out, the extraordinary detail, finish and sheer artistry of our yachts can only be achieved by human qualities. Most importantly, no machine can ever give our boats such spirit, or take such pride in their creation – a vitality passed on to every owner. From floor plans to furnishings and even on-board water features, our expert interior designers are here to support our clients in creating their unique signature.

We will liaise closely with the client throughout the build process, once we know what they would like, our craftsmen will take over and construct the Sunseeker luxury motor yacht to the client’s exact specification.

We Took Sunseeker’s New 75-Foot Sports Yacht Out for a Cruise. Here’s What It’s Like on the Water.

Last week, I had the chance to do a sea trial on the new Predator flagship. The other models in the series include 55- and 65-foot models. The 75, which replaces the 74 XPS, shares the same hull as the Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht, but without its flybridge. The long foredeck and swept-back hardtop of the new Predator makes it look fast, even at the dock in Fort Lauderdale.

The 75’s theoretical top end of 40 knots comes courtesy of the upgraded 1,900 hp MAN V12 turbo diesels. A whopping 3,800 horses. Smaller, standard 1,550 hp versions are available. But as Loran Stavrou of OneWater Yacht Group, the U.S. distributor, puts it during the test: “It’s a Predator. Why would you want smaller engines?”

The Predator concept has been a staple in the British yacht builder’s line since 1996, when the first 80 was launched. The idea was to create a yacht that was fast and beautiful, but with a sizable interior. The lack of a flybridge means that you’re steering inside from the helm on the main deck, rather than up top in the open air.

It was a feisty day out in the Atlantic as we exited Fort Lauderdale via the cruise ship channel, with a strong northerly throwing up four- to five-foot waves. We closed the sunroof to fend off the inevitable spray, pushed forward the throttles, and to the accompaniment of a lovely, throaty turbo whistle, the 52-ton Predator climbed up on plane.

With the wind behind us, we got close to the Sunseeker’s claimed 40-knot top speed, but the water was too rough to see what the boat could really do at speed in flat conditions. That day was more about running through, avoiding and occasionally slamming into the ocean swells. Throttling back to the yacht’s 30-knot sweet spot put the Predator right in its element, turning the slamfest into a fun ride.

We spent close to an hour offshore. Hard-over turns on the 75’s deep-V hull delivered the kind of super-tight response one might expect from a 30-foot sport boat. The turns became even more dramatic when the Predator’s Side-Power Vector fin stabilizers temporarily acted up, creating even sharper leans as we did tight circles.

After playing in the surf, we returned to the dock, noting how well the 75 maneuvers in tight quarters with the bow thruster.

During a walkthrough, the Predator’s softer side became apparent, especially the way the salon flowed into the rear cockpit, courtesy of big, power-sliding glass doors that drop out of sight. The ability to open the boat to the elements, or close down instantly with the push of a button, is key to understanding the Predator ethos.

Back inside the boat, the galley-down arrangement may not be too thrilling to those who would rather cook on the main deck with everyone else. But the glass sunroof, windshield, and lower-deck side windows delivered plenty of natural light. The galley was equipped with Miele appliances, including a full-sized fridge, freezer, and 33-bottle wine cooler.

The Predator shares the same three-bedroom layout as its 75 Sport Yacht sibling. The full-beam master amidships, large VIP cabin in the bow, and a guest cabin with twins were all ensuite, boasting seven feet of headroom. There was also a stateroom for two crew, though a surprising number of 75s are owner-operated. Sunseeker also used quality materials throughout, with high-end finishes like carbon fiber, Calacatta quartz, bleached oak and stainless steel. Fit and finish was universally strong.

Pricing for this new Predator 75 starts at around $4.6 million, with our heavily optioned test boat stickering for $5.72 million. After our lively sea trial, I also realized that, as part of its DNA, each Predator comes with a license to thrill.

Are Sunseeker Boats Any Good?

Sunseeker has been building boats since 1969 and is one of the largest motor yacht builders in the world. With approximately 150 boats produced each year and their range exceeding 20 models to choose from, it's safe to say that the Sunseeker brand will continue its pursuit for quite some time. With thousands of monthly searches for Sunseeker Yachts on Google, one question that continues to arise from boat buyers is "Are Sunseeker Boats any good?"

This is a very subjective question as Sunseeker builds a particular style of yacht for a particular style of boating, one that may not appeal to someone that loves sportfishing boats or center-consoles. By looking at both industry awards and a good volume of boats sold, we can assume the answer. Sunseeker Yachts are widely considered a good boat builder as they are often recognized through marine industry awards, like the World Yacht Trophies, but there have also been more than 450 used Sunseekers sold since the beginning of 2021. 

"Builders like Sunseeker, Princess, Fairline, Azimut, and others are all pretty similar in their styles with some of the shipyards investing in new technology that may give them slight advantages," said Jay Hendrix, Vice President of SI Yachts. "We are proud to represent Princess Yachts and Absolute Yachts as dealers, which are competitors to Sunseeker, but we have also sold a fair amount of all of these brands on the brokerage market. If you have a Sunseeker you want to sell, call us and we'll put together a full marketing plan just for your boat. We can also help you with learning more about Princess, Absolute, and other luxury motor yacht builders.

What Kind Of Awards Has Sunseeker Won?

The Sunseeker designers and engineers are not strangers to the major marine industry awards that are given out annually. The Motor Boat Awards are arguably one of the top ceremonies for yacht builders on the international stage. The 2022 awards which were held in January included multiple Sunseeker models in the running for various categories. The Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht was the winner in the 'Sports Cruisers Over 45-Foot Category'.

"The Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht lives up to its name with the kind of nimble handling and near 35 knot performance that belies its size and simply wouldn’t be possible on a full-blown flybridge," the judges said. Add in the exhilarating experience of driving the boat from the Skyhelm station on the flybridge and you have one extremely fun boat ride. Additionally the Manhattan 55 was nominated for 'Best Flybridge Up To 60-Feet' and the Manhattan 68 was nominated for 'Best Flybridge Over 60-Feet.

The World Yacht Trophies are another highly-regarded awards ceremony where Sunseeker did tremendously well in 2021. Three models took home awards in major categories, a testament to the popularity of the British shipyard. The 65 Sport once again won an award, this time for Best Exterior Design in its category. The 88 Motor Yacht won for Best Exterior Design in its category as well, while the 90 Ocean won for Best Layout.

What Are The Most Popular Sunseeker Models

Again, this is a very subjective thing to say that any one model is more popular than another, especially when there can be many differences between ranges like the Manhattan, Portofino, Superhawk, Predator, and others. There are also going to be much fewer boats sold in the 90-foot and up range as there is less of a market at that price. 

The Manhattan model range was quite popular and the sold data supports this. From the beginning of 2021, there have been 83 used Sunseekers sold in the United States and recorded in the MLS. Nearly half of those boats sold were from the Manhattan model line, with the Manhattan 52, Manhattan 55, and Mahattan 66 being the most popular. During this same timeframe, there were 3 Sunseeker boats sold over 100-feet, two of which were based in Miami.

Comparing Sunseeker sold numbers to other competitive brands is worthy of discussion, but other factors like production schedules, sourcing equipment, owners keeping their boats longer, and a variety of economic situations can "muddy the waters" when trying to determine popularity. Looking solely at the American market, Sunseeker came in behind Azimut in total number of pre-owned vessels sold, but did exceed the numbers for Princess, Fairline, Ferretti, and Galeon.

As a leader in the yacht brokerage industry and as one of the most successful new boat dealers in the Northeast, the team at SI Yachts is uniquely experienced to help you take your boating interests to the next level. If you are looking to sell your current Sunseeker or other boat, we can execute a personalized advertising plan, as well as utilize our vast Hubspot CRM database, to help you find a buyer quickly. If you're looking to purchase a yacht, we have access to boats on and off the market that may fit your budget and requirements.

Best Sunseeker Yachts for Sale

British luxury yacht builder, Sunseeker, is renowned for its tech-savvy yachts with stylish design. A pioneering firm that helped to create the motor yachts we know today, Sunseeker is continuing its tradition of hand-built, hand-finished yachts. The Sunseeker range runs the gamut of powerboats from 38 to 161 feet (11.5m to 49m). Yachts in the larger range can be completely customized to the buyer’s specifications.

From its humble beginnings to its now worldwide notoriety, Sunseeker has a proud heritage. The name is synonymous with performance and luxury. Having now built 100 yachts over 100 feet (30.48m), the builder continues to set and exceed standards, solidifying Sunseeker yachts for sale as some of the most sought-after on the market.

Luxury Yachts Built for Sport & Leisure

Sunseeker Yachts, then known as Poole Power Boats, first opened its doors in 1969 on the south coast of Poole, England. There, Robert Braithwaite conceptualized a new kind of boat that would be built utilizing new technology and materials. He based his creation on customers who envisioned a different kind of on-water experience.

History of Sunseeker Yachts

After launching the Sovereign 17 and the Sovereign 20 in the early 1970s, Sunseeker solidified itself as the UK’s most significant sport and leisure boat builder. Further innovations lead to Sunseeker’s move into the Mediterranean market with yachts like the Offshore 28. This performance model truly secured Sunseeker a spot on the international stage. The subsequent Portofino 31 and Tomahawk 37 models of the 80s took their design cues straight from the dream boards of Sunseeker owners and potential buyers. Sunseeker launched the Predator 80 in the 1990s and set a new benchmark for style, performance and accommodation. At the turn of the century, Sunseeker broke into the 100-foot-plus market with the 105 Yacht. Since that momentous launch, Sunseeker has delivered more than 100 yachts larger than 100 feet (30.48m). The brand continues to use innovative techniques to push the boundaries of style, design and performance of its yachts.

What Makes Sunseeker Yachts Different?

“Sunseeker is one of the most well-known brands in the production yacht market. Now offering yachts from 40 to 161 feet (12.9 to 49m) in various styles, Sunseeker casts a wide net,” says Northrop & Johnson Sales Broker Wes Sanford. “The facility in the UK is possibly one of the most modern and technically advanced of all yacht manufacturers, which, in part, is necessary to keep up with demand and production. Sunseeker is proud to produce “handmade” yachts,” says Northrop & Johnson Sales Broker Joe Foggia. “As a whole, Sunseeker is one of the best builders as far as quality and reliability are concerned. Sunseeker yachts are built to withstand the rough conditions of the English Channel and the North Sea. These yachts are constructed with a Deep-V hull shape to facilitate a more comfortable ride. This combined with ultra-modern lines and hugely customizable interiors has made Sunseeker a popular global choice.”

Northrop & Johnson is proud to offer the most impressive Sunseeker yachts for sale. Boasting impeccable design, excellent performance prowess, handcrafted detailing and fine-quality craftsmanship, these luxury yachts for sale offer style, safety and seaworthiness. Sunseeker offers both production and bespoke yachts. Sunseeker recently launched its largest offering to date, the 161. This beautiful 161-foot (49m) tri-deck superyacht features the striking exterior design for which Sunseeker yachts are renowned, as well as immense volume and a completely customizable interior that will suit the taste of any yacht owner. Sunseeker’s unyielding dedication to style and performance ensures its yachts will continue to impress for years to come.

Sunseeker Reviews

Early years

It wasn’t until Idris Braithwaite moved his chandlery and outboard business down the road from Christchurch to Poole in the early half of the decade that the Poole Powerboats story got started.

The change in location gave Idris and his business partner, John Macklin, shoreside access and they branched into sportsboat sales, becoming a dealer for Scandinavian, American and British-built sportsboats.

In 1962, Idris’s sons, Robert and John, joined the team and it wasn’t long before the foursome hatched a plan to produce their own line of boats, taking the best aspects of the boats they’d been selling for others and incorporating them into the new range.

Moulds were purchased from an American company called Owens Cruisers Incorporated, and in 1969 the first Poole Powerboats-built Sovereign 17 rolled into the water. This was soon followed by a Sovereign 20.

These boats were a combination of American robustness, Scandinavian finish and British conservatism, and were among the first British sportsboats to standardise on outdrive power.

Production of these boats ticked along, but Poole Powerboats was still more a boat dealer than a boatbuilder, and was appointed the distributor for Coronet, Windy and Draco – sportsboats from the part of the world that at that time dominated the market, Scandinavia.

Poole Powerboats’ ties with that part of the world were further reinforced when it found itself the largest UK parts distributor for Volvo Penta engines.

The company prospered as a distributor for other people’s products, but the drive to establish itself as an independent boatbuilder never waned, and in 1976 Poole Powerboats was back with a pair of boats designed in-house that it hoped would capture the imagination of the rapidly expanding daycruiser marketplace.

The Sports 23 and Daycab 23 were the company’s first real hits, and were also the first boats to be prefixed with the name Sunseeker (Braithwaite believed that the name Poole Powerboats was likely to be confused with ‘poulet’ on the Continent – the French for chicken). The Sports was a sleek, low-profile sportsboat with a two-berth cabin, sea toilet, stove and a large cockpit.

But it was the 36-knot Daycab that really took off. This boat had four berths, a galley, a toilet, and a hand-crafted teak bathing platform. Moreover, the build quality, fitout and handling were equal to anything coming out of Scandinavia.

More than 120 Daycabs were built between 1976 and 1979, when the model was replaced by the Sunseeker 235. The success of the model put Poole Powerboats firmly on the boatbuilding map, and there was no looking back.

Sunseeker expands

As the company looked to break into the Mediterranean market in the late 1970s, a key design partnership was formed with legendary naval architect Don Shead. His previous works included superyachts and racing boats, but the Sunseeker Offshore 28 was his first production boat and its sporty performance and innovative hull design saw Sunseeker snap up sales in France, Spain and Germany, leading to a rebrand as Sunseeker International.

The emphasis on fun in the sun saw two iconic models launched in the 1980s – the Portofino 31 and the Tomahawk 37, which were capable of hosting large parties in their spacious cockpits, whilst retaining a wicked turn of speed.

Jet-drive boats pushed the game on further still in the 1990s, with the Renegade 60 and the Predator 80 turning heads – the former was welcomed to the 1990 Southampton Boat Show with widespread acclaim, from buyers and competitors alike.

At the turn of the century, Sunseeker began a Hollywood partnership, which was to last for the best part of a decade, with their yachts appearing in four James Bond films: The World is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace .

Currently owned by Chinese group Dalian Wanda, Sunseeker remains a British company with manufacturing still based in Poole.

The current Sunseeker collection ranges in size from the entry-level Predator 50 to the Sunseeker 155 . Hull number one of this superyacht series, Blush , was commissioned by Formula 1 supremo Eddie Jordan and launched in 2014.

Looking to the future, Sunseeker plans to expand its range in both directions, with a Hawk 38 performance boat and a Sunseeker 161 Yacht both under development.
