Sunseeker Predator 65 Yacht Tour & Review | YachtBuyer

Predator 65 or the 65 Sport Yacht?

[@Nezzer57]

Never thought I'd say it, but I prefer the Predator. Lower price, lower COG, and amazing quality. Crew cabin is a waste, rather have lazarette storage space. Good review 👍

Pershing 6x in this market.

Always loved the predator, its lines are slick and who isn't going to be attracted to a boat that has the name "Predator". However, since the intro of the sport yacht version, apart from the additional weight and I assume, well managed change to the centre of gravity, Sunseeker have found a way to arguably make a flybridge look very sexy. That helm station on the 65 sport is a thing of beauty and a little 007ish dear I say it.

neither

Predator 65 for me 👌

[@trischurch5289]

I’m leaning towards the Sport version but the fact it’s such a difficult decision speaks volumes about both models. Thanks for your insight Jack. One minor point of accuracy (Sunseeker Geek here, sorry) - if you select the 4th cabin option, it is a single berth purely because the rake of the hull doesn’t provide enough room for a bunk.

I really love that sunroof and the accommodation is beautiful. I'd go for this one but move the galley below.

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

In Australia we design the BBQ first and then build the boat around it. I love the wrap around seating in the cockpit, which is very similar to the Princess V55, BUT there is no place for a BBQ in the cockpit. Whereas the V55 Princess has both the wrap around seating and a very nice BBQ. Sunseeker really needs to think of their customers outside of the UK and the Mediterranean.

[@dtutssel]

These boats aren't meant for the uk market either, otherwise they wouldn't bother with all the sunbathing sections for the 3 days of the year you could use them.

[@chrisoleary9876]

Riviera are my favorite luxury yachts in the world! Practical, fast, economically efficient and comfortable!

[@VoxOptimatium]

Agreed. The crew cabin/storage space in the cockpit is a lost opportunity.

[@cookiemonster2299]

I like this a lot, I love the big master cabin and the pods that manufacturers are using for the MFD's, they sort of look very classic sci-fi and modern at the same time. I would be happy to lose the tender garage for better engine access though and put the tender on the bathing platform. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@brianmiller6443]

I prefer the sport. The upper helm is so nice i couldn't pass it up. If i bought the predator i would be thinking about the upper helm all the time. Where as if i buy the sport ill never be wishing i had a bigger sunroof. Its an easy choice for me

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Jack!

[@MR_BJH]

What would you go for Jack - Sport Yacht or Predator?

[@Yachtbuyer]

It’s hard to say having only driven the Sport Yacht but I found the driving experience so rewarding from the Sky Helm that I’d be surprised if driving the Predator swayed me in its direction - Jack

[@michaelreutter9821]

When you employ the Aquaholic guy, I will subscribe.

[@steadytube]

ive always wondered why on a multi million pound yacht the electric windows are soooooo bloody slow.

[@cgctorrag]

give me the pred and convert the 'crew cabin' into usefull storage et al.

[@Skysailor1000]

💙

[@OllieW501]

I remember the Predators of the 90s, they were more long and sporty looking, I think in 30 years they have become a bit fat and tubby. Well, so am I, but hey ho...

[@TheLemouria]

The video is great and gives a good feeling about the boat.... Unfortunately for Sunseeker, it feels like a caravan not like a sport yacht. That kitchen on the main deck in the prime spot is just a punch in the face.

[@JohnSmith-zo6ir]

I would go for this boat over the flybridge version. It's too hot where I live to be frying in the sun on an open, non-airconditioned flybridge. The cockpit is very nice and social with the wrap around seating. I don't see this as a compromise at all. It has a good connection to the galley and I like the social design of the saloon with opposite facing seating. Connection to the sea is very good in the saloon, cockpit, forward sun lounge and hi-lo platform. Just wish is had a twin grill BBQ in the cockpit with some benchtop workspace. No need for a fridge or sink in the cockpit since the galley is close by. Very good boat. I was about to order a Princess V55, but this might be better. My choice will be based on whether I can go out on my own and skipper single handed with say a remote docking control (dockmate) and of course a twin grill BBQ, one ribbed grill for steaks and a flat grill for bacon, eggs and teppanyaki. That's me sorted ✅

[@solaryatra]

Same here - I am in Singapore/Thailand and we rarely use the outdoor spaces during day time. Also, we are born tanned so the only folks sun bathing are my 2 crew (pale skin). Whats funny is the captain and the lady crew get mistaken as owners while we brown curry folks get mistaken as the crew. In Asia, we create a spectacle when some curry Indian family has 2 or 3 staff who are europeans. Also, we have staff of 5 sometimes - massage lady, chef & nanny. Need to upgrade to a bigger one but new build wait times are crazy now. Enjoy your new boat.

[@davidweston8758]

Think I prefer the Fairline or Princess S66 , not a fan of the new cockpit style of the Sunseeker , although having a hi low tv is a better idea , don't want to be watching TV when people or scenery watching is more fun 😊 , thanks though for another great review

[@davebuckman8841]

The crew cabins and lack of engine space put this and the 65 soort at such a disadvantage with the princess equivalents

[@terrywalker1624]

Definitely the Princess F65 instead of either (weirdly Nick's review of that one automatically followed your review just as I was thinking of it). Great review, thanks!

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks for watching!

[@lajucb]

Princess S66 would be my choice over this. Navetta 64 the ultimate 65 footer for me though!

[@nickwebb9290]

Superb tour as always Jack. Sunseeker sure make wonderful motor yachts, I’ll keep doing the lottery 😁

[@kevinmole9982]

[@clifbradley]
