Sunseeker, and its North American Distributor, OneWater Yacht Group, have revealed the line-up of performance motor yachts on display at the Miami International Boat Show, which runs from 14 to 18 February 2024.

Among the models on display are two debut appearances: the 100 Yacht, making its US debut, and the Predator 75, marking its show debut at Miami.

Joining these two yachts is one of the largest Sunseeker displays in the show’s history, including the 90 Ocean, 88 Yacht, 76 Yacht, Manhattan 68, Predator 65 and Superhawk 55.

“We are excited to exhibit at Miami International Boat Show with a stunning display of yachts this year,” says Sean Robertson, president at Sunseeker USA Sales Co.

“With the thrilling US premiere of the superb 100 Yacht and the show debut of the Predator 75, we’re just as excited for the appearance of six yachts new for 2024, introducing a fleet that benefits from the latest design enhancements to suit the American market.”

“Miami is a boater’s paradise and we couldn’t be more thrilled to exhibit at one of North America’s greatest boat shows for the fifth consecutive year running,” says Bryan Braley, president at OneWater Yacht Group.

“The Sunseeker line-up is one of the best yet, with a diverse product range of new yachts available to view from 55 to 100 feet. The award-winning 100 Yacht truly showcases the continued commitment to an uncompromising approach to design and engineering excellence, and the Predator 75 is an exciting new edition to our fleet, with an immaculate specification, we know this yacht will be popular.”

This year’s lineup features three superyachts and is one of the largest in the British boatbuilder’s history.

The full Sunseeker lineup comprises the 100 Yacht (US debut); 90 Ocean; 88 Yacht; 76 Yacht; Predator 75 (show debut); Manhattan 68; Predator 65; and Superhawk 55.

90 Ocean

For the first time, the 90 Ocean is being shown with a new main deck configuration centred around a fully equipped galley, which can be enclosed or opened up to the rest of the main deck. This layout allows for open family-style living or a more formal crewing arrangement.

The model, which is tailored to the American market, also features a new breakfast seating arrangement in the master cabin.

Manhattan 68 Pacific

For the first time, the Manhattan 68 on display at Miami International Boat Show features a new main deck configuration. Onboard living is enhanced with a full beam galley and large centre console, suitable for laying out a buffet, while Sunseeker says the forward-facing seating adjacent to the helm delivers an improved cruising experience.

Superhawk 55

The Superhawk 55 returns to Miami for a second year following its 2023 debut. Sunseeker says this multi-award-winning model is the result of 50 years of innovation and style. Characterised by complete walk-around access from the large open cockpit to the foredeck, the Superhawk 55 is a performance yacht designed to entertain.

100 Yacht

Making its US debut, the 100 Yacht is powered by MTU 12V 2000 M96X as standard or MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines as an option, reaching speeds of up to 30 knots. The 100 Yacht accommodates up to twelve guests and five crew in comfort.

With a striking owner’s stateroom forward with a private bow terrace, sunbathing hideaways, a single-level exterior deck from flybridge to foredeck, a well-proportioned open-plan interior and beach club with X-Tend convertible seating, the boat boasts many features that can deliver a superyacht experience.

Sunseeker says this vessel offers a new-found design and direction, with a unique main deck, penthouse-style saloon and elegant staterooms.

The owner’s stateroom forward grants greater flexibility and freedom on board, offering a large lobby entrance, walk-in wardrobe with feature shelving, desk unit and a generous en suite with twin washbasins and rain shower.

The yacht can be specified as a four or five-cabin boat, ideal for the charter market. In either case, the twin amidship cabins can be fitted with Pullman berths for added flexibility. The crew cabin is also worthy of mention, featuring a captain’s cabin with en suite, two twins each with en suite, and a highly specified crew mess.

Predator 75

Powered by twin MAN V12-1900 engines, the Predator 75 is a performance yacht built for long stretches aboard. Reaching top speeds of 40 knots, the latest addition to Sunseeker’s Predator range is fitted with fin stabilisation, creating a smooth on-the-water experience whether at anchor or helming at speed.

The next generation of Sunseeker Predator has a ‘shadow grey’ gelcoat and sleek exterior detailing in jet black. The coupé-style hardtop, coamings and air intakes are finished in black, lowering the overall profile of an already aggressive silhouette. Dual colour blue and white Lumishore underwater lighting and 22 additional LED side deck lights help transform the Predator 75 into a striking feature at night.

Within the aft cockpit, a second station is positioned on the port side with engine throttles, stop/start and thruster control. This allows for better visibility when docking and manoeuvring, enabling more precise and responsive handling in confined spaces, ultimately making marina navigation safer and more efficient.

The Predator 75 is a yacht purposefully designed to host gatherings with flair. The cockpit offers several features crafted especially for entertainment and socialising.

A sleek carbon fibre table has a folding top fitted to polished stainless steel synchronised electric legs, and can accommodate eight guests.

Four Sonance Extreme Speakers and Sonos Amp create an immersive audio experience on board. There’s also a convenient electric BBQ grill and 80-litre refrigerator in the cockpit.

On the foredeck, socialising takes place around a table with a canopy and comfortable seating. Further forward, the sunpad features folding backrests and comfortable sunbathing cushions. Two large drawer refrigerators are fitted conveniently under the seating.

In the saloon, the cockpit door slides to starboard and then the door and window descend beneath the seating, uniting the cockpit with the saloon. Seating arrangements complement a thoughtfully designed storage unit on the port side, complete with an integrated mini-bar refrigerator. The centrepiece of entertainment is a 55-inch UHD Smart 4K television equipped with Apple TV app and Airplay 2.

Audio zoning is accessed easily through a tablet pre-loaded with the Sonos App.

The helm console features a steer-by-wire autopilot system for precise navigation, while the dual 16-inch Garmin Chartplotter displays offer real-time navigational data. The Sunseeker Cm8 power management and boat monitoring system ensures holistic control over the yacht systems on board, while electric Besenzoni helm seats offer ergonomic comfort for extended periods at the helm.

The lower galley is fully equipped with integrated Miele appliances, while the lower saloon comes with an HD television and Sonos sound bar. The lower deck offers sleeping accommodation for up to eight guests and two crew, with three guest cabins. The full-beam owners’ cabin has a dressing table fitted with storage, en suite and walk-in wardrobe.

The tropical air conditioning package offers cooling technology and climate control features that ensure a comfortable atmosphere in hot climates, including the Florida heat.
