We are grateful to the #event organiser for ensuring a safe and enjoyable #event for guests and visitors." 

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. Available with twin Volvo Penta D11-725 engines on shafts, the Predator 55 EVO™ will perform a top speed of 32 knots.

65 Sport Yacht 

The #sunseeker 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.

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.
