Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht review | This is how driving a £3m boat should feel | Motor Boat & Yachting

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

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Great production chaps, really noticing the efforts you’re all making with the video, sound, edit and presenting to make you’re reviews different to other popular boat reviews.

[@jackhaines123]

Thank you

[@tripsteregypt8416]

I don't think I've ever seen Jack this excited about any boat.

[@jakoflynn2560]

Your best presentation yet mate

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

Im very impressed with mother-in-law's cabin. 😉

[@shawnwood9875]

Awesome fly bridge. Now that's the boat I pictured myself in!

[@cookiemonster2299]

Stunning yacht, huge congratulations to sunseeker for this one, I like everything about it. Great video guys, very professional. 👍🇬🇧❤️

[@jonathanevans9257]

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.

[@lockywylie]

omg i so love this boat jack ive watch it over and over again great job bro

[@Toby_the_Glen]

Many thanks Jack!

[@clifbradley]

The real drinking game is every time Jack says 'really really'. You'd be on the donation list for a new liver at the end of the video. It's OK though cause we love your enthusiasm. You're awesome

[@jackhaines123]

😂 thanks

[@xrplover2785]

Damn, that looked like a fun ride on an absolutely beautiful boat. Thank you!

[@colinturner4158]

Great video Jack can see how much you really enjoyed being up in that special fly bridge fantastic boat. Thanks

[@colinturner4158]

Absolutely beautiful boat and great video and information as usual

[@Ognir1962]

Just incredible, would love to be along for the ride. Sunseeker continues its dominance!

[@johnhickman2915]

Fantastic review Jack 👏!!

[@Nezzer57]

Superb review and big budget presentation. This boat deserves it, very impressed 👍

[@bobothree]

Reminds me of the time I drove a super tanker from the emergency helm on top the bridge house.

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

Excellent video Jack

[@jackhaines123]

Thank you 👍

[@7rays]

Wow. Just wow.

[@michaelolsson5193]

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.

[@eddu4361]

Nice boat! Helm up looks good!

[@darthkek1953]

The Sport 65 and Yacht 88 are the first Sunseekers that have turned my head towards the yard. The price tags turn them back again.

[@idib1739]

😂

[@row0111]

Mahattan?

[@darthkek1953]

@@row0111 Great boats but not really exciting for "me". 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.

[@rtbinc2273]

Well done all the way around.

[@Gman-109]

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.

[@martigrey5872]

The cranchi E52S had a bridge like that before sunseeker. So it's been done before.

[@Ob1sdarkside]

Really nice boat, great review. Jack got a bit of colour on the fly bridge

[@jackhaines123]

🥵

[@Ob1sdarkside]

@@jackhaines123 the way you moved to the flybridge helm suggests it was worth it...

[@decencywarrior9598]

Very cool.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@BrassNuts]

High praise indeed 👍 Yup, had a sip of me lovely craft beer, from Lough Gill Brewery and played bingo for "attention to detail". 😂 Gonna do that again N again 😁👍

[@markh7304]

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 👍

[@kutark]

This guy has the best job in the world /sigh.

[@MotorBoatYachting]

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it ;-)

[@row0111]

Someone get this man a bottle of sunscreen

[@66beber]

super

[@MS-nk4xb]

- Å fan! 👍

[@alexandruolteanu]

Great boat, great job doing the presentation. Still, I don't understand why they don't think about crew. The requirements from crew are quite high and not even a decent cabin with normal facilities is offered.

[@SeanSoraghan]

Designedtoo be owner operated A guest cabin can be given to crew if necessary

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

Can you install a sun protection fold away bimini on the flybridge. Where I am its hot, so you need cover from the sun.

[@barryf1966]

Best flybridge driving position-

[@robertfrost1683]

Lets see it beside the new Riva 68 Diable" - which would you choose ?

[@KB-qe6jo]

I played the drinking game ;)

[@benzamg1982]

Where is the outside barbecue ? No barbecue , no fun. Nice tour and thank you for it.

[@glenlittlefield9869]

I think you have the best job in the world....

[@MotorBoatYachting]

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it 😉

[@glenlittlefield9869]

@@MotorBoatYachting Roger that! Enjoy and keep posting!

[@robertbonefant8271]

The seats look wonderful. However I think the seats could use folding arm rest. Perfect for your gangster lean while cruising!

[@SeanSoraghan]

And put a joystick in the armrest

[@MrSilus2000]

How many other boats have this fly bridge helm position??

[@justthink5854]

actually the jazzy detail really dates the boat. straight out of the 80's. crew cab with no shower?

[@johnmoritz]

Couldn’t agree more! Overall beautiful boat, but these current pseudo-(non!-) contemporary “design” details obstruct timelessness. And unnecessarily drive up the price a bit. :)

[@justthink5854]

@@johnmoritz Sunseeker is the worst at doing this.

[@adrianmccann6428]

Any thoughts on where I find the 3 million quid to be able to buy the boat!

[@gaycha6589]

… I just looked down the back of the sofa - on the Riva. No problem.

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

Sounds so sad when he says that crew will have to shower at the back (outside in the open) or shore facilities ☹️ If I was the owner I would let crew shower in the master heads.

[@SeanSoraghan]

Is there an option for a jacuzzi

[@mikerohde7959]

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]

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

[@paulroberts237]

Fantastic boat but the engine access bothers me somewhat. I didn’t think you were too impressed either in your voice Jack.

[@arekpetrosian4965]

Oh, all right...sigh...I'll take it.

[@robertlangley1664]

Time to buy more lottery tickets beautiful boat

[@fmartmart8099]

Anybody have an educated guess on what a boat like this will cost used in say, 7 years?

[@MotorBoatYachting]

You can currently get a 7-year-old Manhattan 65 for £1.5m: www.yachtworld.co.uk/yacht/2015-sunseeker-manhattan-65-8135285/ Add 7 years of inflation and you're looking at £1.8m, maybe £2m

[@SeanSoraghan]

Is yacht CE class C

[@EpicSlug]

Was Jack attacked by a beetroot before this video?

[@Brandon-eq7hk]

Man, I really don't like the cockpit. The wheel and the displays are too far away. I can see the constant hunching over leading to back issues later on.

[@patrickmolloy6994]

if that were just a few million cheaper ....

[@cJ-cr8gp]

….of course driving from the inside means you don’t end the day with a sunburned head..!

Why do all these salespeople wear Rolex watches? Obviously they get paid way too much.

[@Redavisunwind]

Let's see crotch in the steering wheel, and no wind control on top no thanks.

[@dreamfunction4491]

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.

[@Helloworldwrjfjrjrj]
