[@markshutt1476]

Such a beautiful boat. I love when they think out of the box, so many boats can pretty much be the same. The owner's cabin/bow setup is brilliant. Being retired navy, USN, I have a soft spot for crew and am glad to see they are well taken care of. My only real issue is what seems to be a real lack of visibility from the pilot house. Were there wing stations we missed? Thanks for bringing this to us, and I'm happy you managed the engine room access safely.

[@whotf888]

Yeah, with no former experience with boats and generally just being an enthusiast who can tell what makes sense and what doesn't. I can tell the same things about this vessel. I also believe that a helm position on the flybridge would benefit the design. After all, it may be run by the owner, too. Edit: thank you for your service, brother!

[@gervers]

I have seen another review from Sunseeker and you can have a flybridge helm if you want. This particular yacht is owned privately but with full crew aboard

[@clifbradley]

Wow Sunseeker is always upping the game to new levels. That is nice. That front view out the owner's cabin. Got a little bit of that Sirena 88 type view, especially if you put a hot tub there instead of all that seating. What an amazing boat. People always complain about the prices of Sunseeker yachts but I always tell people the amount of detail and design is why they are worth so much.

[@ironichumorist]

gotta say the exterior lines are not very pleasing. and this owner has definitely made some choices that make this a boat only for themself. hope sunseeker works on this design a bit.

[@einovahvanen]

I mean if i was spending 10mil on a yacht i'd want it to be just how i like

[@ironichumorist]

@@einovahvanen i agree. but you better want it that way for a long time. resale is dead.

[@einovahvanen]

@@ironichumorist i don't think so, a lot of people looking to buy a yacht don't want to wait for years so they just get something from the market. Also personally i found nothing wrong with the layout so it's just personal preference i guess

[@pistonburner6448]

Fantastic boat, but I wouldn't buy from Chinese-owned companies. Sunseeker is Chinese-owned. And we know what things China is involved in, and plans to do, so us financing them by buying products from companies they own makes no sense. (I cannot list any of the activities China is involved in because apparently youtube censors it)

[@rtbinc2273]

Hmmm - Not a favorite. The interior is nice but a lot of compromises. The engineering space is cramped. Don't like the lines, but there are more yachts with those lines these days. Also, just one bridge position? Sunseeker was desperate to get this out under the 24 meter line.

[@sirmurf]

I can only dream of yachts, but when I dream of driving myself I’m thinking of about 65ft as a reasonable limit. Anything bigger seems too much.

[@motoryacht-wannahave5502]

@@sirmurf Agreed, 60 to under 70 feet seems to be the largest sweetspot for owner operated, and if you go up to crewed I think I would prefer a bit larger still than this size. Maybe around 120-130 feet is the perfect size for a floating luxury hotel to fit the whole family and a bunch of friends, along with enough crew to create the luxury resort experience. 😅

[@fishtigua]

There's some really good design features on there, plus some very awkward ones too. You have that super entertainment deck but no dumb-waiter to get the food up there, so lots of clambering around with trays up steps. The spotlight on the foredeck would be a hassle when bearthing, get ripped off pretty quick. Lots of little things a seasoned mariner would notice.

[@brentduanefoster]

Sunseeker, you’ve done it again!!!!! Amazing new yacht!!!! I love that there is two pullman berths. You can accommodate up to 12 guests, along with crew.

[@jimj2683]

@@MotorBoatYachting How is the sunseeker 100 able to go below the 24 metre LLL rule?

[@Ownmylifee]

Thank you universe for giving me 1.3 billion ❤

[@flacjacket]

Can this squeeze under the 24m reg standard? It's never very clear, the calculation seems super convoluted (I know it is not LOA or waterline length that determines it) and it's best to just let the manufacturer tell you rather than working it out for yourself. Edit: you answered my question in the video, amazing that something this big can be owner operated.

[@jimj2683]

Apparantly it does! But I have now idea how it is able to without a removable nose cone.

[@brianmiller6443]

Great tour Hugo! I like it . It has some new features and is in a great size range for them. The engine room access is pretty bad though. Also it's hard to tell from the video how the helm view would be. The fly bridge or upper deck is amazing! The salon and the rest of the interior is beautifully done!

[@whotf888]

The visibility from the helm is probably horrendous with the height of the "dashboard" and the slope of the windshield. Maybe if they added a second helm position to the flybridge (I see absolutely no problem with it, just extend the wiring from the main helm), it could help a lot, especially since you can owner-operate it with minimum crew

[@paulfrost4678]

Great video Hugo of a great yacht , it’s took a long time coming but it did not disappoint. Thank you

[@hugoandreae3785]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@salimerdem7544]

Thanks for taking us around, difficult job during a busy show. Lots of glitters, but a boat to have a berth in south of France or Mikanos, not to go to sea. I hope that master room will not be flooded in big seas, wonder how water tight that door master cabin door is? Too much furniture and seating space, very ambitious to mimick large boat environment, but looks too crowded. Not much space to move. Also not much space for storage of boat stuff. Many refrigerators, but not enough lockers. Engine room is a failure, too tight, again a lot of compromise to have large living space. Accessing the engine room during voyages will not be easy and pleasant.. Pilothouse is also a compromise, I feel with such high bulwarks and lounging space in the front, view is limited during the cruise. Captain will be operating blind during docking and have to rely on the crew assistance for the maneuvers? The dining table in the salon has better and more open views. Nevertheless, looks like this is what is selling, but a good, seaworthy boat is always preferred by experienced and educated owners..

[@rschm87568]

Get a better camera!

[@kokomo9764]

It is nice to see something that is not an explorer yacht. Of late, all of these walk through are explorer type yachts, like NuMarine, Bearing etc. I much prefer this yacht. I'm not interested in seeing obscure locations. Give me Miami and the Bahamas any day.

[@andrew_ep_curtis]

Stunning. I'd be happy with one of these. Sadly I'm £10million short. Maybe one day haha.

[@darploin5071]

That one actually cost about 10.5 million dollars according to James from sunseeker who did a little brief tour on Sunday but I'm glad they actually got one built so we don't have to just look at CGI renderings we can actually see the real thing

[@jamesallen7750]

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for such a comprehensive tour.

[@SubtleReed]

Not impressed do not like the white, boat looked chinzy and access in the engine room is not great. Layout poor, no word concerning range - Of course I didn't watch the whole thing because I really was not impressed with this yacht. I have seen 8 million dollar boats much more impressive. Like langborgini. However only had a range of 300 nautical miles.

[@doug3117]

Great tour considering the number of people on the yacht. You managed it very well.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Cheers Doug

[@nicbennett6554]

Awesome yacht and if the only compromise is a steep access to the engine room I’d say Sunseeker have nailed it! Huge amount of space for the length and all very classy. Great work Hugo, thanks!

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks Nic, it’s quite a boat!

Wow. What a machine. Endless amount of superlatives for this beaut that top deck is incredible - be interesting to see her out at sea at some point too. Great tour Hugo, impressive managing it on a yacht of that size and with so many people milling about. Top job!

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks Ben, much appreciated

[@dv100000]

Great video tour 10/10 just one question though. The yacht is 29 mt and it falls in the 24mt that the owner can sail on their own with out crew, why is that?

[@hugoandreae3785]

Because the measurement is taken from the load line length of the main hull not including the bathing platform and the protruding bow section above the waterline.

[@bikersoncall]

00:54 Quiz; How many people are touring this yacht right now.

Fit and finish is totally different.

[@Eric-xg9nq]

J’aime énormément ce Sunseeker 100.. D’abord, WC du propriétaire sont séparés de la salle de bain. Ensuite, l’agencement du poste de l’équipage. J’imagine qu’il est possible de faire une seule cabine VIP, qui pourrait devenir la seconde cabine du propriétaire, s’il est seul, et en cas de gros temps. Une seule Timonerie : ainsi le "skeaper" est à sa place, séparé du groupe "propriétaire/invités" : chacun à sa place ; sauf si c’était moi qui conduis ce beau bateau, mais hélas, je n’ai pas cette compétence... En revanche, je n’aime pas les fauteuils du salon : un détail je suppose, il doit être possible de personnaliser cela avec un salon "Roche Bobois" par exemple... Vraiment, un superbe yacht... Merci pour ce partage..

[@AB-80X]

Why don't you post in English so people know what you are saying? It's an international world we live in.

[@Churchill250267]

You're not a patch on "Aquaholic" imo.

[@EpicSlug]

Hugo said there is only one helm on the boat. You can have a helm on the fly bridge it's just an option this owner didn't choose.

[@hugoandreae3785]

That is correct, although so far only one buyer has opted for it.

[@EpicSlug]

@@hugoandreae3785 thanks for clarifying. It must be expensive then! I know i'd want it or I'd rather the 90 Ocean as it's important to be able to have a little drive outside. Even if you do have a full time Captain.

[@MotorBoatYachting]

@@EpicSlug It's more because owners prefer to keep the whole flybridge as a private guest space. I'm pretty sure the Captains would specify it they were they were the ones choosing though!

[@brentduanefoster]

I like that. Sometimes, one main helm station is better.

[@gee530]

Yacht looks great in every aspect but I don't like the human traffic onboard while you're working. Sunseeker should see it as promotion if anything and having all these people obstructing your work is actually pretty rude in my opinion. I know you would never acknowledge that since you're much more well behaved than I am and make no mistake, no shadow on your work though, you always deliver and this is no exception. The video is great and so I thank you, much appreciated!

[@robertfrost1683]

Hmm - This or the new Riva 102 Corsario ?? Engine room looks ok - MUCH MUCH better than the 90 Ocean. But a STEEP STEEP Entrance. That Entrance will cost you with workers comp insurance payouts But maybe the Princess Y95.

Lovely crew space. I find it outrageous that some other offerings at a similar size and price point are so low as to offer the crew much more minimal barebones space. If you have the money for a 100 class yacht you should have the money to treat your crew to hospitable arrangements.

[@constantineding8700]

I was a bit dissapointed when you stepped into the master cabin because my expectation to see a huge palatial master bedroom was lifted so high by the super plump bow which it was located.

Can’t fault this one Hugo…….. utterly gorgeous 🥳 Daunting to helm, heavily reliant on lookouts and technology for manoeuvring in close……… a joy on an open sea. Engineering looks crisp and businesslike, cabins are nice…… although, I would have tried to get a master in the lower and have a forward lounge instead……. the private owners deck space wasn’t private enough for me to be bothered……. I would love to own one, charter it fully crewed to cover the cost of a week here and there…… 🥳🇬🇧

[@AB-80X]

Depends on who you are. Main cabin is a waste of space. You don't live in the cabin, so why take up so much main deck space? The other issue is the interior looks. I'm 43 and I feel like I would have to be 30 years older to fit in. Generally a problem with British boats I think.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Not really. They are certainly easier to control but they still take just as much cleaning and maintenance if not more due to all the extra kit they carry.
