British boatbuilder Sunseeker revealed its a new 36.6-metre addition to its superyacht range at the Monaco Yacht Show 2023.
The shipyard says the new Sunseeker 120 Yacht shares many of the same characteristics as the smaller Sunseeker 100 model, and is characterised by bold geometry, an athletic silhouette and immaculate style.
The main deck saloon aboard the Sunseeker 120 Yacht can become a private retreat, offering flexibility to furnish with statement loose furniture suited to the taste of the owner.
Other key features aboard include a large, elevated foredeck with a Jacuzzi and an open flybridge offering multiple seating, dining and entertainment layouts.
“We’re excited to reveal the spectacular 120 Yacht, a new superyacht destined to join our dynamic product range,” says Andrea Frabetti, Chief Executive Officer at Sunseeker International.
“The inspiration for the 120 Yacht comes from our heritage superyachts, the Sunseeker line is ever-present but has been completely reinvented, projecting the superyacht range forward fit for the future.
“We have worked very closely with Design Unlimited to realise a spectacular interior design for the 120 Yacht. Immediately, we want owners to be met with a very special interior space with high impact but with the comfort and practicalities of home.”
The Sunseeker 120 Yacht has an elegant low profile, with impressive glazing, raised stainless steel handrails and a sleek hardtop and raised pilot house.
Forward of the raised pilot house is an elevated foredeck. An optional spa tub beneath the windshield complements a seating group comprising asymmetrical sofas and a four-person sun pad.
The flybridge aft comprises two large seating arrangements for formal dining and socialising, with space further aft for freestanding furniture. The aft flybridge and foredeck are linked via a starboard side walk-through in the coaming, promoting free movement between social zones.
The aft cockpit is accessed via one staircase on the starboard side, moving away from dual symmetrical staircases from the bathing platform. This space features a curved seating group for ten guests with dual symmetrical tables centralised around a four-person wet bar. Altogether, the exterior zones, seating arrangements and features provide an outdoor sanctuary.
At water level, a full-width rise and fall bathing platform features a gull-wing door that opens up to a day-head, shower and storage space. An integrated tender garage comfortably houses a 6-metre tender and two jetskis for fun on the waves.
The interior on the 120 Yacht has been created by Design Unlimited, which opted for materials that maximise the natural light on board. The 120 Yacht also introduces reflective surfaces to bounce the light around the space.
There are uninterrupted views from the dining area to the lounge in the expansive open-plan main deck. The main deck is subtly zoned with framing screens on the port and starboard side to offer a sense of separation between the formal dining and comfortable saloon.
The aft cockpit leads directly into the main deck saloon furnished with freestanding furniture. On the opposite side, comfortable armchairs with a side table provide enough seating for twelve guests. Forward of the saloon is a dining space that can seat 12 guests.
Lower-deck accommodation consists of generous ensuite cabins for eight to 10 guests and five crew.
Re-engineered to improve accessibility, the owners’ stateroom features marble bulkheads and floor-to-ceiling windows. The dressing room leads to the en suite with dual wash basins, finished with elegant brassware and a rich mix of marble, metallic finishes and rustic timber.
“We have a long history of producing industry-defining superyachts, dating as far back as 2000 with the 105 Yacht,” says Sean Robertson, Sales and Marketing Director at Sunseeker International.
“For over 20 years, we have launched 14 superyacht lines and over 147 yachts over 100 feet sold worldwide. The 120 Yacht is a stunning new concept that, to the right owner, will fulfil their yachting dreams.”
An efficient hull form on the 120 Yacht achieves 20 knots with relatively low power and a range of 1,730 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 10 knots.
