Founded in 1969 in the U.K., SUNSEEKER has grown into one of the largest producers of handmade luxury mid-sized yachts on earth…
After launching an in-house superyacht division at the Monaco Yacht Show recently, they teamed up with Pendennis and Icon Yachts to reveal the company’s newest 100ft model, the creatively named, Sunseeker 100 Yacht.
Sunseeker’s designers were clearly up for maximum entertainment — creating a special tender garage that can be transformed into a Beach Club with wet bar, or for hosting events close to the water, or for guests to dine on freshly caught barra on the built-in barbie. If speed is more one’s game, there is plenty of stowage area in the garage for a Williams 395 Sportjet with a GTX255 jet ski.
The lower deck swim platform uses a Benzenzoni ladder gangway for easy access to the all important water toys, while a large rain shower is on deck to wash off any sea water and seaweed. Guests can dry off and chill on the X-TEND sun loungers, which were first used on the Sunseeker 87 Yacht. These can be raised electrically to face the covered cockpit area or lowered to face Beach Club level.
Inside, the door-size windows emphasise the epic sense of space on board; with accommodation for 10 guests, there are four lower deck guest cabins, and the owner’s suite with walk-in wardrobe, office and lobby on the main deck.
Equipped with twin diesel MAN V12-2000 engines with 2000 horsepower each, the fuel capacity is 12,800 litres, enabling the 100 to reach a top speed of 27 knots (50 km) with a range of 1,300 nautical miles (2407 km) — enough for a mini Contiki tour. This forward-thinking yacht is a true game changer in the 100ft sector. Launching in autumn 2021, the new 100 Yacht is set to surprise with a luxury design eclipsing even custom superyachts — proving that size and space matters.
