Sunseeker launches 100 Yacht in Poole

Sunseeker’s 100 Yacht has been launched into Poole Harbour, seeing daylight for the very first time. Preparing for her maiden sea trial, the 100 Yacht is currently at Sunseeker’s Poole HQ before her delivery into the Mediterranean this summer.

Andrea Frabetti, chief executive officer at Sunseeker International, comments: “We are incredibly proud to unveil the 100 Yacht here in Poole with the owner in attendance to see, for the first time, this spectacular new model. Our project team has worked incredibly hard to present the first build and prepare the vessel for initial sea trials and testing. The second hull is following in close succession and our teams are now busy building multiple 100 Yacht orders for delivery in 2022 and beyond: it’s been a remarkable success. The order book is a reflection of our brand strength, the in-house creativity and the passion of all involved to deliver a spectacular new model. This is the only yacht offering seamless access between flybridge, foredeck and owners’ private terrace on the sea.”

Sunseeker says The 100 Yacht will revolutionise the Sunseeker Yacht range, marking ‘the start of a new era in flybridge design and functionality for the British yard’. The 100 Yacht has a beam of 22ft 8in, accommodation for up to 10 guests and up to five crew.

Powered by MTU 12V 2000 M96X or MTU 16V 2000 M96L, the 100 Yacht has a claimed top speed of 29 knots and a range of 1,300 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. The yacht has been awarded CE Category A/Ocean status.

The 22ft beam adds significant interior volume. The full-beam master suite situated on the main deck benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows port and starboard as well as a glass atrium door forward, leading to an owner’s private bow terrace.

From its manufacturing base in Poole, Dorset, on the south coast of England, Sunseeker employs around 1,700 people and produces around 150 boats every year ranging from 38ft to 161ft with 95 per cent being exported.
