I was actually at the Southampton boat show in September for 4 days from up north. It's always a pleasure to visit the hospitality stand of Sunseeker. The 100 is yet another super bit of marine design produced by Sunseeker. A fabulous yatch I managed to view. Keep up the good work lads at Poole and all the sales team. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🐬

The Sunseeker 100 has so many amazing design features! The owners cabin has incredible views and with the bow deck, wow! Connecting all the decks together by stairs works well. The crew area is very respectable. The redesigned owners bathroom entrance through the closet allows for that wonderful corner sofa. What a yacht!

Great video Hugo! Eye watering fuel burns above 10 knots, but I guess if you can afford to buy it it’s not so scary! Looked very comfortable in the swells too.

Thanks Nic, that is the reality of owning a big boat and why they mostly cruise everywhere at 10-12 knots

And for most a lottery win.I wonder if it could be single-handedly launched comfortably using a Yacht controller. Dan's Boat Life has done it on a 65 foot Yacht (Princess S65) Might need some wing mirrors for the pilot house though, or some side mounted cameras shown on a big screen, as visibility looks a bit limited.

@@timk3939 mate I wouldn't want to be short-handed or inexperienced on this, but that's - strangely - the law. Love Dan and there's a Chicago boat dealer who delivers and does a lot of 65 ish foot single handed (Elevate Yachts) and yeah this is way too large for that... except... if you have Skyhook (DPS, Dynamic Positioning System) then in theory you can single handed do it. But that would be madness. And don't forget any yacht can have a remote YachtMaster so it's not like you're fixed to a position if you don't want to be.

Where did you find your statutary definitions? I can only find a requirement for yachts longer than 24m to embark a qualified skipper. The term 'superyacht' appears to be in the gift of the describer.

Question - Not a boater, but would love to be able to afford it. You only seem to be pushing 1 throttle forward. Is that correct? Can the Sunseeker 100 run for long periods of time at displacement speed on 1 engine? Does that then double the range/distance it can travel?

Great video Hugo. Would have been cool to see you drift that yacht. Maybe trail brakes it a d kick the back end around and chuck her into a swell. Just kidding. That would be ridiculous. I understand she is quite fast and luxurious, but if we look at the original king of speedy large yachts, Heesen, I think the yachts are way quieter. Ditto that for ISA, and AB, Mangusta and to some extent, Pershing, but the noise from them was swell wash and hull slap. I get you're going at a great speed, however the noise levels would be something I would want diminished so maybe that wouldn't be the yacht for me. Oh well. Can't buy one anyways. Lol.

@hugoandreae3785 5 ай бұрын

For a large production GRP yacht I thought the noise levels were very good in the areas that really mattered. It’s very rare that you would be running at planing speed with guests in their cabins
