Wow, I wasn’t expecting such a thorough in depth presentation for a 23 minute video. Well done, mate!

I wrote an article on 'erganomics at the helm position' for MB&Y 30 years ago, good to see Sunseeker might have read it for flybridge helm. Much more elegant glass design in the hull than on some models.

Of course it's a nice boat. But I'm not totally sold on it. (Like I could afford it). But I do wish that Sunseeker would do more of the XPS versions, would love to see a Predator 60 XPS.

The Yacht 88 I saw had the best interior of a Sunseeker I've ever seen, pocket Superyacht level trim, and the Sport 65 has that peerless sportsbridge. Mans & Preds are not my thing, personally, but that's just ME not a reflection of the boats which many people love to bits.

Great video as usual - Sunseeker builds the best boats by far IMO, don't see many here in Canada unfortunately, but when I was in Florida last year there were a number there I got to see first hand. Brilliant is a word that is overused in the Brit vocabulary, but in Sunseeker's case, it's warranted.

Great video 👍. 8:54 I bought the land that building over your right shoulder sits on for a company called Prowting Homes based in Ruislip in about 1999. It is in such a great position on the Quay overlooking Sunseeker but look at the design. It's absolutely abysmal. It looks awful. But the boat looks 👍

Might be a stupid question: But for someone who is new, what type of crew would you need for a yacht like this? - If u do need any at all. No experience with sailing though

@MotorBoatYachting 2 жыл бұрын

Strictly speaking, you don't *need* a crew for anything under 78ft, but unless you're very experienced, you'd probably want some crew help on something of this size

Great boat. Thorough review and I particularly enjoyed the cruising part. However, terrible camera-work. The camera does NOT show what you are talking about when you are talking about it. Show more of the boat and less of Captain jack. Just terrible.
