jack i just gota tell you i watch this so often almost daily ;)

[@joshhillis7388]

That's an absolutely stunning flybridge and especially that helm.. wow I'm in love 😍😍

[@EZ8E]

Absolutely amazing!! Joystick plus thrusters! What a pleasure it must be.

[@Mr.E-]

Well that’s blue sky/out of the box thinking for the upper helm. Stunning 😎✌🏻

[@chrish2996]

Hi Jack. This is definitely on the list for MBY sea trial. Can't wait. Thanks 😊

[@jackhaines123]

It’s already done, watch this space 👍

[@63melvyn]

I don’t like fly bridges but I love this one

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

I really like the walkthrough videos now and is it me or has Sunseeker stepped up a level for style incorporating technology with this boat. I don't usually like this type of sports cruiser but I do this one.

[@maritimefilminguk]

Cheeky clothing change at the end there 🤣 Great walkthrough Jack 👍

[@jackhaines123]

😂. It was so busy I had to film it over two days!

[@maritimefilminguk]

@@jackhaines123 It was so popular at the show! Although it's an epic boat!

[@lockywylie]

abso;utly fanyastic tour jack, best so far , i love this boat ive watched it over and over

[@peterdekker5918]

This one is really great. Thnx for the tour!!

[@markward3242]

Great looking boat great vid and wow great idea with that sports bridge console well done sunseeker 🇬🇧

[@mikenelson1495]

Top marks on overall kit. Glad to see a flip-over at the Manhattan bar to cover the vertical slide window. Other yachts leave a big gap for Manhattans 🍷 to get spilled in. Oh, and bollocks on that knee-high rail and step over for the 👙's when lounging fore deck. Splendid accomodations!!!

[@bertramlefarge69]

Not having a pop at anyone in particular (are you listening Nick) but its great to hear some criticism of a boat however minor. Nearly all the channels just gush superlatives. Great review.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

I did ask Nick that question via the medium of You & Tube and his response was his are “walkthroughs”, whilst Jack is conducting a “review”. Marginal, but I can certainly understand where he’s coming from.

[@bertramlefarge69]

@@PhilbyFavourites I'd go as far as to say 'Promotional Tour' .Plus, if you're not prepared to criticise a boat yet still help to sell it then your core loyalty isn't with the viewer but the sales office. Maybe he should make people as aware of that as he does promoting his sponsors ;)

[@jimbob1427]

Love your reviews !!!

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@wilacosta1637]

Getting around the deck is setup as a safety trap, someone will be over board before long. What was the designer thinking 🤔

[@frankiegregoriou4604]

Excellent video Jack

[@nigelmaisey272]

Brilliant … can’t wait for the sea trial … but can’t help thinking that 35knts for a Sport yacht … seems a little sluggish … when Pershing 60x & 70x can make 50 knots !! I’m thinking Maybe Sunseeker should go back to using Surface Drives & a pair of MTUs and give this baby 50 knots !! 🤔🤔🤞🤞😎

[@philipmason3218]

"I can stand with my joystick." Oooeerrr misus.

[@TheOriginalItchyman]

haha I was thinking "no way am i gonna sit down all the time on the flybridge, or use the joystick angled that steep" and then voila!

[@darthkek1953]

I really like sport flys, but I don't know if this fly is amazingly better or slightly overdone. I mean this is for a boat that tops at 40 mph and will spend most of its time around 30 mph. Seats for a 150 mph car seem a tad excessive. I mean the Pershing 8x does 55 mph and cruises at over 50 and it's not half as overblown as this. But this is the first Sunseeker I've really liked, along with this years Sunseeker Yacht 88 with it's verging on superyacht level interior trim.

[@abruptpegasus]

I feel like it'll also spend a lot of time at roughly 0mph while people are fishing, diving, or playing with water toys, and this gives a great place for the family that isn't out doing those things.

[@darthkek1953]

@@abruptpegasus Well the big "full" flybridge helps for "big" entertaining at anchor, but the sports flybridge (should and here does) give a lovely window over the main cabin helm. Anyway I'm only half serious bout the fly being overdone - I'd LOVE it. :-D

[@davidikin683]

Got to love how boat designers are influenced by super cars / luxury cars; and car designers are influenced by boats and yachts!

[@rogerfrith7551]

Form over function! The bow seating step over is rediculous.

[@oscarlainz]

Those helm seats are Corbeau’s Le, a replacement seat for Lotus Elise, they are very cheap…

[@mikenelson1495]

Drove an Exige for a few years. Tossed in a bolster for my fat arse. At 6-4 i still fit with a race helmet. 😆 I didn't think much about the cheap seats when i was hauling ass At the track or having the car photographed with professional hotties!!! 👀

[@steveo8810]

no shower for the captain ?????. and i dont go for the fly-bridge, planes should look like planes - cars should look like cars - and boats should look like boats

[@scottlusardi9111]

Can u please buy a mic so we can hear u better so I dont have to turn u way up.

[@HoustonBrownPhotography]

Just when I thought we were moving away from BROWN coloring.

[@AaBb-fb8yz]

Question for Sunseeker: how is this different than Manhattan??? This was supposed to be Predator with a bridge. What the hell did you do???

[@kokomo9764]

Nice, but...

[@beibei93]

the tender garage is such a waste of space.

[@futte2303]

Come on, Nick show this one 2 weeks ago

[@ZarkoMahovic]

I don't like your videos because I get seasick from them. You are constantly and unnecessarily swinging the camera left and right so the viewer has to really make an effort to see what you want to show him. The comments are good, it's a pity that the recording is not of the same quality.

[@jackhaines123]

Noted, I’ll slow it down going forward 👍

[@steadytube]

If you get seasick watching a video perhaps boats aren’t your thing.

[@williamcrawford805]

This bucket can't take any weather, first casualties will be the front cushions whether or not anybody is sitting on them
