Sunseeker

Sport yachts and flybridge from 11 to 40 m, composite superyachts in development.

Robert Braithwaite founded Sunseeker in Poole in 1969, and the brand made its name in the 1980s and 1990s with fast, aggressively styled open boats, popularised by the cinema. Acquired by the Chinese Wanda group in 2013, it passed to private investors in 2023.

The Predator and Superhawk (sport), Manhattan (flybridge), Sport Yacht and Ocean (large volume) ranges cover 11 to 30 m; the Yacht 100 and the 131 go beyond 30 m, and a 49 m project has been announced. The style remains recognisable: taut lines, large cockpits, contemporary interiors.

Before you sign: Stock availability is good, and the sport yachts resell well in the Mediterranean. Changes of ownership have weighed on after-sales service at times: we check local coverage before any order.
