New Model: Sunseeker 80 Yacht

Sunseeker launched the new 80 Yacht at the Southampton show. Presented as the entry level for the Yacht range, the new 80 also replaces the 82 in this nine model range, which carries up to the soon to come 46 Metre Yacht, the future flagship of the renowned British builder currently under construction at Poole. Also latest model to carry the illustrious Yacht title, the 80 is a pocket size super yacht just in the border to get this title and being large enough for big luxury and small enough to helm and maintain with minimum crew. The 80 Yacht offers below deck sleep accommodation arrangements allowing for three double full beam suites, or two double guest cabins and two twin guest cabins with crew accommodation for three aft. Power is by twin 1800hp diesel engines, which give 30 knots max at wide open throttle, a cruise of 26 knots, and an economic speed of 22 knots, which allows a range of about 350 nautical miles. Other notable features of the new 80 Yacht are its large flybridge providing separate helm position, ample seating, sunbathing space and the large aft submersible bathing platform providing space to carry a personal water craft, Sunseeker being one of the first builders to offer this solution on its yachts.
