We believe that to stop seeking

in life is to stop living.

Which is why we never let the sun set

without knowing we looked for more.

The most innovative design.

Exhilarating engineering.

Jaw-dropping performance.

Breathtaking attention to detail.

Awe-inspiring motoryachts to make

the heart race and the soul sing.

By daring to go where others don’t,

we’ll take you to places others only dream of.

To do this, we constantly

seek perfection.

And then, when we think

we’ve found it?

We seek more.

3

We da r e to dr e a m . We dr e a m to l i v e

We have always dared to seek more.

It is our past, our present, our future. It’s in our DNA.

Back in 1969, Robert and John Braithwaite were two

brothers with a dream to create a boat to surpass any

made before.

And so the Braithwaites built the first Sunseeker. A small,

open cockpit speedboat that defined a visionary new

standard of performance.

It opened up a new world to explore, spurred by the elation

that comes from achieving a higher level of performance.

Almost five decades on, this impulse still drives our work.

From the light, spacious San Remo to the majestic 155

Yacht, the largest, most advanced yacht we’ve ever

produced, each craft is more ambitious than

its predecessor.

It’s the reason we’ve grown from a dream to become one

of the world’s leading luxury motoryacht manufacturers.

And it’s living proof that, if you seek more, you always

go further.

Da r i ng by des ig n

Nothing about a Sunseeker is ordinary.

Since the fi rst Sunseeker was made, to every

yacht we launch, each is borne of a singular

boldness of vision.

Conceived by the world’s fi nest naval architects,

designers and engineers, a Sunseeker takes shape

through exhaustive hand sketches, architectural

drawings, technical renderings and the latest 3D

design software.

Yet, though a Sunseeker yacht is made by many

craftspeople, its soul is made with something

greater still – a spirit of daring.

A ceaseless desire to seek gives every Sunseeker

its powerful presence, performance and luxury.

A passion to exceed boundaries.

It’s how it will always be.

Because it’s only with this rare kind of spirit

we can begin to craft your yacht.

7

A r a r e c r a f t In an age of mass digital production and automated

assembly, we stay committed to a uniquely made,

highly crafted product.

Every Sunseeker is hand built and hand fi nished –

for one simple reason.

There is simply no other way to make a Sunseeker yacht.

It must be painstakingly brought to life by an in-house

team of over 2,000 highly skilled craftspeople.

Inside and out, its meticulous detail, fi nish and artistry

can only be achieved by handcrafting.

These are skills which are precious. Passed from

generation to generation, they are the skills that

make a Sunseeker.

Because no machine can ever give our boats such spirit,

or take such pride in their creation.

It is this uncommon vitality that you own with a Sunseeker.

9

You are truly unique.

And so it should be with your Sunseeker yacht.

In addition to our vast range of standard finishes

our Bespoke service is offered for yachts 95 feet

and above, and gives you the freedom to create

something exclusively yours. A blank sheet of paper

for you to design your yacht in a way that is

personal to you.

In collaboration with some of the world’s finest

interior designers and style consultants, or indeed

your own designer, you can select a range of

fabrics, woods, leathers, granites and marbles to

create a look and feel that’s as distinct as you are.

Every interior aspect can be tailored to reflect

your tastes and passions. From floor plans

and accommodation arrangements to unique

furnishings and sumptuous fabrics, you can fully

indulge your desires.

Indeed, our Bespoke service will give your

Sunseeker something no-one else can.

Your individuality.

We c r a f t i t. Yo u c r e at e i t

11

To own a Sunseeker is to own a world.

But not just any world – it is your world to escape to and explore.

Your way.

Own a Sunseeker and you live a life like no-one else. Because,

above all else, a Sunseeker gives you a rare kind of liberty.

That feeling of elation when your dreams become reality.

A masterpiece of high-performance design, engineering and pure

winning spirit, a Sunseeker yacht takes you to truly special places

– with those who are truly special to you.

Whether it’s exploring the tranquility of a newly discovered coast,

or cruising the seas to explore new treasures, a Sunseeker gives

that very best thing: the chance to be yourself completely.

Perhaps even to rediscover yourself.

What could be more precious?

Dis c ov er at r u e r a r i t y

At the heart of each Sunseeker is a spirit

that transcends boundaries.

It was forged in the very fi rst Sunseeker we made,

and endures in every yacht we will ever make.

An urge to seek more.

And today it is a desire that’s as strong as ever.

It’s the reason we are the UK’s largest boat

manufacturer, and the only global brand to build luxury

performance motoryachts across such an extensive

range, from 50 to 155 feet.

Such is the worldwide demand for our yachts,

you will fi nd them at over 80 Sunseeker retail and service

locations across fi ve continents and 45 countries.

Which gives you every opportunity to discover

your own rare spirit.
