Sunseeker Malta’s first international appointment for this year was the Tullett Prebon London International Boat Show held at Excel London between 7 and 16 January.
During this show, regarded as one of Europe’s most prestigious, Sunseeker International launched two new yachts, the all new Predator 115 and the Manhattan 73.
Besides the stunning boats, the Sunseeker stand featured an exclusive performance by Rebecca Ferguson, who secured second place in the latest series of the popular reality-TV talent competition X-Factor. Ms Ferguson performed three songs that she sang on the X-Factor. The 24-year old singer from Liverpool wowed the crowds with her elegant vocal performance.
Commenting about these two latest models, Edward Woods, Managing Director of Sunseeker Malta said “among the main attributes of these two exciting additions to the Sunseeker range, one finds the maximization of internal space and the combination of exhilarating performance with luxurious design, qualities that have always defined the Sunseeker brand from the rest,” said Mr Woods who was present during the opening of the boat show in London.
Retaining the aggressive lines and sharp long bow which are synonymous with the Predator range, as well as many of the stunning characteristics that have made the award-winning Predator 130 so successful, the all new Sunseeker Predator 115 has the exterior deck space of a Yacht but remains Predator in her look, with an exemplary level of onboard luxury.
“The boat can comfortably accommodate a party of up to 10 in five cabins, with a crew of five, and features expansive aft cockpit, flybridge and foredeck social areas which provide endless entertainment opportunities. There is an option for balconies on either side of the main deck saloon which open up magnificent seascapes and bring in more natural light, and the vessel also accommodates a large aft tender garage for two jet bikes, and a tender up to five and a half metres plus hydraulic rise-and-fall transom platform,” added Mr Woods.
“In its continued quest for excellence, Sunseeker has also developed the all new Manhattan 73 – an innovative extension to its range of Flybridge Manhattan motoryachts, famed around the world for their luxurious open-deck sportboat design and exceptional performance. Featuring a brand-new hull which allows for space to be maximised throughout, the Manhattan 73 offers plenty of accommodation for the owner, family and guests and includes an adaptable entertainment space. For the first time she also offers a joystick manoeuvring system to provide greater control of the vessel when docking,” added Mr Woods.
A further ten Sunseeker crafts were displayed at the show, including the 40 Metre, the firm’s flagship, the 30 Metre, the 88 Yacht, the Manhattan 63, Predator 84, Predator 64 and the Portofino 48 were displayed on the Sunseeker stands.
In his comments during the event, Sunseeker Founder, Robert Braithwaite, said: “In our continued quest for innovation we have explored ways of maximising space and of increasing the customisation potential of two of our most popular motoryacht designs, and have achieved exactly that in these two new yachts. Our abiding commitment to innovation and to developing world-class motoryachts has led to Sunseeker becoming a truly global brand and we are incredibly proud to be now selling to five continents and 61 countries around the world.”
