We have some incredible models on display, and we are looking forward to showcasing the exquisite #88yacht and innovative 90 Ocean for the first time in the US.”
88 Yacht – US Debut
The award-winning 88 Yacht perfectly showcases Sunseeker’s design and technological excellence, creating an innovative, class-leading model that has been considered in meticulous detail and exudes a style and elegance that is distinctively Sunseeker.
Powered by twin MTU 10v 2000’s as standard or twin MTU 12v 2000’s as an option, she accommodates eight guests and four crew in complete luxury and comfort reaching speeds of up to 28 knots.
The #88yacht features Sunseeker’s industry-leading ‘Beach Club’ accessed by dual sweeping staircases featuring recessed LED lighting. This expansive area transforms the space into a private outdoor sanctuary complete with Sunseeker’s award-winning convertible X-TEND sunbed that can face forward at cockpit level or, once lowered, aft into the Beach Club. Set beneath is an overhead rain shower and plentiful stowage, including dedicated lockers for two SeaBobs. The extended bathing platform is perfect for carrying a Williams 435 Sportjet or Seadoo Spark jet ski, with an optional flybridge crane for a jet ski or similar.
Inside, the interior is one of warmth, luxury and incredible social spaces. From the expansive saloon and dining area through to its comprehensively equipped galley, you will be spoiled for choice. Below deck is a four cabin/four en suite arrangement with the master suite positioned amidships for ultimate space and light. The opulent detailing and quality of materials is unparalleled; an interior to take your breath away.
This is the perfect yacht for relaxing, entertaining and having fun in style.
90 Ocean – US Debut
The multi award-winning 90 Ocean sees Sunseeker break new boundaries and create a spectacular yacht that boasts a 20% increase in overall volume and 25-30% more deck space; thanks not only to her substantial beam but her stem bow that creates a brand new Sunseeker silhouette cutting through the water.
The flybridge is a staggering 25% larger than a comparable yacht, and owners can select an infinity style spa pool for up to five guests. U-shaped seating with a large sun pad perfectly complements a sideboard with a second integrated barbecue. A newly styled wet bar framed with LED lighting houses a stainless-steel sink, two Coolmatic refrigerators, an ice maker and a glass bar top is also available to make the most of this popular entertainment area. Handrails are capped with glazing below, allowing for uninterrupted panoramic views. The carbon fiber hardtop with full-width retractable canopy provides the shade for an exceptionally generous seating and dining area that can be configured or left open-plan depending on owner requirements.
Keen to showcase the fresh design direction of Sunseeker’s next generation of larger models, the exterior lines of this new yacht are revolutionary, allowing the ‘Beach Club’ to become an even more impressive space. This spacious deck, measuring over 6×4 meters, is perfect for family and friends to socialize close to the water, perhaps utilizing the large built-in barbecue with countertop. The Besenzoni retractable ‘Ladder Gangway’ allows guests to effortlessly access the watersports on offer, after which they will be keen to use the oversized ‘rain shower’ before relaxing on the new transformational chaise sunbeds. Importantly, these innovative award-winning X-TEND sunbeds allow for a myriad of arrangements, facing aft in their lowered position or, at the flick of a switch, forward at cockpit level.
Its unique main deck, penthouse-style saloon and luxurious staterooms offer a new-found design direction and materials selection, providing elegant interiors to enchant any owner. The interior finish combines traditional elegance with contemporary updates. The layering of textural elements and the mix of furnishings and fabrics feels timeless with a modern twist that oozes sleek simplicity and sophistication.
The lower helm can be specified with a panoramic skylight and electric blind that floods the area with light, accentuating the carbon fiber detail to the console and raised companion seating to port. Provision is also made for a day-head to port, rare on a yacht of this size.
The elegant furnishings and flawless design continue below deck. A spectacular wooden feature wall leads owners into the luxurious full-beam master stateroom offering panoramic views via its 2.5m feature windows. Carefully considered furniture selections complement the elegant lines of the 90 Ocean, with sweeping curved bulkheads, textured paneling, curved sofa, vanity desk and a super king slatted bed that offers additional stowage below. A full-width, decorative bulkhead mirror houses the television, complementing yet again the array of advanced technology on board the 90 Ocean. A feature of the stateroom is his and hers pivot-hinge wardrobes and drawer units adjoining feature lobby shelving sitting behind paneled full-height mirrors. The generous en suite incorporates a floating vanity unit with twin porcelain sinks, backlit framed mirrors, more drawer stowage and a freestanding rain shower.
