Great tour James, it's nice to go out on a trial with you. You would not think you were at sea as you showed us around, great stability. Love the interior obviously been well looked after. This will be a great purchase for someone. Thank You.
Very nice walkthru and cruise. I like the Galeons also. The 2020 and newer have the better controls for docking and remotes which make a very nice touch. This is also an extremely clean boat for three years old.
Lovely boat as usual, however a bit noisy I noticed up on the fly deck! Is this a notable issue of the engine's James? Never got a chance to speak to you at the Southampton boat show regarding this issue.
Very tidy (and comfortable) looking boat. If I were buying it I would ask to keep the art and furnishings. The current owners have nice taste. There was certainly no reason for you to apologise for the engine noise in the master cabin. Considering that the engine room was only on the other side of the bulkhead, the comforting murmur of the engines should be described as a feature.
Always nice to watch your sea trial videos to remember what the sun actually looks like!!! You mentioned the side and foredeck teak can go green in the UK environment - is there any data yet on how the synthetic teak that we see on the newer predator and sport yachts fair in comparison?
The synthetic is moving on so much with each evolution that I think in the end it will entirely replace real decking. The graining is nearly perfect. It's hotter to walk on in warmer climates but even that they now tell us the engineered chemical makeup can bring the surface temps down. We've had early gen Flexiteek on our Broom since 2008 and it's still well adhered. Not as pretty as the new stuff but with dogs/kids it works really well.
Thats a great price thats a lot of yacht. Big bang for the buck. Live the way the crew quarters are so organized. They thought of everything in thete. I would love to own tbis one. Thank you for such a detailed tour of her.😊
Can I just verify how much fuel this boat burns, not sure if be worked it out correctly, but at 22 knots I worked it out to £297 p/h for both engines at £1.24 per litre. Lovely looking boat, nicely kept.
I understand the concept of the aft opening up and calling it social but to me it seems like it’s not very social because it breaks up the two main social areas. I guess I’m not of the mindset where the kitchen is the central hang out area of my life, its a place to go to cook and then you get out and go and sit somewhere cozy. I’m glad to see with the newer Sunseeker’s They’re starting to put the kelley’s back up in the front near the helm. It makes sense. What would be even better as a galley down. I recently checked out a 50 foot Trojan from the 70s where the whole metal deck it’s just nice and big and open and it drops down to the kitchen and a little dining area and it’s something really cozy about that
Are you going to be driving some sunseekers to the water pontoons that are set up for the 2023 Southampton international Boat show next month and if so how long before the show opens do the boats start arriving? it would be nice to see some videos of you driving the boats to the Sunseeker stand at the show in Mayflower park please?
Probably not the setup as I will be at Cannes Boat Show (there is an overlap for the first few days), but if I get the chance, might run one of the boats back to Swanwick after the Soton show finishes like we did last year with the 76Y.

As always, a very informative and well presented tour.
A great tour of a beautiful boat.
Love a sea trial!
Many thanks James!

What would be the best size to start with as an absolute beginner & are there courses to learn from scratch how to pilot a small yacht.
I’d like to know that too
Enjoy the rest of the British summer!

Nice boat, practical size

What is the unbranded boat to the right? It’s so strange that long aft. The fair line to the left almost seems similar.
Never mind, spotted y85. Princess.

Very nice boat. Impressive. The throttle beeps can be turned off, which is what I would do :)
Yup easy to switch off but I like knowing that they're back into neutral (without having to constantly check the levers). All personal choice.
Καταπληκτικό σκάφος αλλά εξίσου καταπληκτική παρουσίαση. Μπράβο σου
ive always wondered what you would upgrade to from a 55. 68, 76? predator?
Generally either a new 68 or used 76 seem to be the common upgrade. Depends if you are looking for more cabins / switched to a crewed setup etc.
Nice boat in great condition love the art work etc shame they're taking the name love it 😂
Promo sm 😃
