Great to see true open offshore cruisers back, shes beautiful. Equally the price (inc vat over £1.5m) and this being entry level, can’t help but think sunseeker ownership will become rarer as second hand costs sky rocket

[@KevLaj]

38 knots is pretty tame for the name Superhawk. This is a boat for Tarquin to spend his investment banker's bonus on. All the gear, no idea.

[@Ognir1962]

Awesome…. Thanks for sharing!

[@richborgo]

no day head? Love to see how garage works. Good job Hugo.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Cheers Rich

[@chrisbethmann3955]

The bed is a full size king double, riiiight

[@lawrencefoster2120]

Very plush, nice.

[@steadytube]

wow, they are going to sell a lot of these.

[@MotorBoatYachting]

When we visited the factory last summer, they said they'd already sold 20 - suspect they'll sell a lot more than that this week!

[@ramonrodriguez6692]

I don’t understand why European boat builders call something like this a “performance” boat…..38 knot top end…..so a Phantom 65 can keep up……..!?!?!?…..it should be illegal to call a boat a “performance” boat unless it can top out over 60 knots…Get an HCB Sueños or better yet, NorTech 500 …

[@AmraphelofShinar]

Polish vodka. Nice.

[@timtam6442]

Well overdue. I’d love to see Sunseeker going back to its routes and producing some limited edition sub 50ft craft again. How I’d love to see a reincarnation of a Portafino

[@dtutssel]

Roots

[@mindphaser5037]

Well, I wanted to see the other bathroom..

[@clifbradley]

As an American, I'm offended by all the Union Jack motifs!...just kidding. I love it that a brand is proud of their country. Something these woke idiots in America need more of. But this is awesome. Quite,bit like the Predator Evo in a way, but obviously sticking true to the original ethos.

[@simonroyle2806]

Chinese owned

[@Nick_G7IZR]

18:28 They missed an opportunity there to colour those lights in Union Jack colours...

[@origin178]

For that length and price, those two cramped cabins are a real let-down. I expect most people will look at it, then choose one of Sunseeker's more practical designs.

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour Hugo and what a boat! Entry level as well?! Amazing details in every area and looks superb. Can’t wait to see the sea trial in the summer!

[@Thjonsson1]

What an amazing boat!! The old superhawk 50 is still an iconic boat, that looks amzing 20 years since it was launched

[@fishtigua]

Meh, just another open cruiser. Would hardly flutter your toupee at those speeds.

[@justinlinnane8043]

Well done Hugo! First proper tour of the boat on You Tube . Excellent ! Thanks

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Thanks Justin, we really pulled out all the stops to get this one live asap, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@paulfrost4678]

Thanks for sharing this amazing craft with us Hugh , what a lot of boat for the money , sunseeker have obviously thought this one out , I love the double garage .

[@hugoandreae3785]

My pleasure Paul

[@rtbinc2273]

One of those more interesting than liked boats. I imagine it is something you keep in the med and scoot around in.

[@BenDaveFishingTips]

not at that price two cabins , the Manhattan 55 better value

[@rwg2626]

Have you noticed how Chinese owned company’s put Union Jack motifs on them, .

[@nickwebb9290]

That’s the nicest ‘day boat’. I can remember seeing. However one has to have sympathy for the service engineers. Excellent tour as always Hugo, many thanks.

[@BrawndoQC]

I have seen way better "day boat". My Azimut 50 you didn't have to crawl in the cabins.

[@whotf888]

This seems like a really nice concept, though this style of boat is not my cup of tea. Also, that Holset turbo would go well with my racecar project🤔😂

[@MrGusinfla]

Windy out don't worry we put over cleats in the worst possible spot so you can not get to them winch...same thing but we put a cheep looking screen with a hole that does nothing we hit you for 50 k do not worry we got you?????????????

[@cookiemonster2299]

Very smart boat, I like this one a lot, cheers Hugo 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@JoshuaMc7]

I thought we were going to lose Hugo at the 14:00 mark! Nice save... 😂

[@hugoandreae3785]

It was a close call, could have been messy!

[@forresthoward5868]

Great video, Hugo! Beautiful 🛥!this craft would be stunning on Lake Cumberland here in Kentucky, USA 🇺🇸!

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks Forrest, sounds like you should get one!

[@nobodysbusiness87]

Looks like the IPS pods weren't actually installed. i've never seen what the hull of an IPS boat looked like without them installed before. That's quite a big hole.

[@cameronrogers5862]

They had to be taken out for transport to the show. Yes, it’s a big opening!

[@timdaniel5395]

Runs with the bow very high - looks like a design fault.

[@lorddoma6637]

She's a beauty. Is the price about $2 million?

[@johansjoberg5751]

I don’t know. No clean lines. Feels overdesigned/engineered. Just to much stuff going on. Could be a boat from some small Italian niche builder.. prices on new boats have increased almost just to much the last years. It’s many business class flights and nights at 5 star hotels for this 55 foot boat.. just a reflection..

[@johnnyz8867]

How many times is he going to say Clever?

[@stefanmarraccini8646]

That is one handsome devil. Also loving the outside the box thinking regarding the outdoor seating. Yes, it's subjective, but this guy loves that dark brown woven textile for the table/sunpad in the stern area. My first thought is longevity in marine environments but knowing Sunseeker's reputation I imagine that has been addressed when choosing the materials. What a special boat. Thanks for the tour! 👍

[@adamroach3407]

Just the cockpit is a knockout. This will be copied. They solved the “seating in rows” that every open is plagued with these days. Don’t know if I care for the foredeck but thee big pad is nice. Centerline helm is a big plus in my mind. One head is an interesting choice but it makes sense really. It’s worthy of the name even if not really what I think of as a superhawk. I like this much better than the old 50 footer. I suspect Miami will be full of them.

[@gonzalopascual5936]

Very cool looking but a bit unpractical for the size and price. I would rather have a Pershing 50.1 for half the price.

[@lgriestra]

A beautiful sporty yacht!

[@michaelbeck7799]

Appreciate the upbeat but relaxed style of tour. Very comfortable.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks Michael, I do my best to please!

[@rwg2626]

I’m disappointed to be honest, those sliding side doors are just naff, should be called a predator not a superhawk

[@morghino1497]

the Riva and Italian style school is starting to teach something! ... anyway congratulations ... you have created a marvel!

[@topbuzz2292]

Are these made in China yet, Chinese owned company after all.

[@hugoandreae3785]

No, all boats are made in the UK

[@patrickmolloy6994]

thank you! She's lovely. I could live with the cramped engine room if forced LOL

[@darploin5071]

I was hoping you had one that was already all flushed out and ready to be purchased I really wanted to know more about the

[@aapompeii]

Does it have 1 bathroom or 2?

[@homerjsimpson2118]

more a camargue 55 do over.

[@SeanSoraghan]

Is there only 1 head

[@BillWalkerSD]

Did I miss something, or is the master cabin heads the only heads?

[@monikavogt8828]

very cool and very stylish Boat! Seems that this will become a great Succes for Sunseeker. Thank you for the early Yachttour! (u r much more faster than the Others :-)))

[@hugoandreae3785]

Fast boat deserves a fast turnaround!

[@josiem1681]

Love ❤️ your video keep them coming 😊 you wouldn’t be related to Nick from the aquaholic channel ??? 😅

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Haha, no Hugo isn't related to Nick, although they're both from the South of England and have worked together for many years

[@rumanuu]

That is one good looking boat 😍

[@MotorBoatYachting]

You can say that again - we love how the black hardtop makes it look even sleeker!

[@jacobyrassilon]

Very good walk through as usual.....it's pretty much a very expensive plaything, maybe something you store in a boat house on a lake, or like you said something you take out for the day. Still, it is what it is and is very stylish and pretty.

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks Jacoby

[@MrGusinfla]

Fail

[@morghino1497]

Perfect for Summer in Sardegna!❤️

[@romeobravo3793]

Great tour, thank you. The boat? Meh.

[@sirmurf]

Like a few here, not sure I see the point. But I’m sure they’ll sell, not sure how well.

[@MotorBoatYachting]

They'd already sold 20 by last summer

[@moejaime2654]

The more gadgets the more things can break ! This thing is a boaters nightmare waiting to happen !

[@michaelsmith3119]

No sale here yo😵

[@kristoferpersson1614]

So cool!

[@craiggibson2062]

Nice 👌

[@darploin5071]

I would hate to have to do any real maintenance in the engine room

[@lorddoma6637]

I think people who buy these pay other people to do maintenance

[@darploin5071]

@@lorddoma6637 oh I know that I just know that if somebody tries to hire me to do a job like that it's going to cost them big$$$$$

[@jaffaholland4039]

Think this will sell in spades

[@MotorBoatYachting]

They'd already sold 20 by last summer
