Manhattan 66
We believe that to stop seeking in life is to stop living.
Which is why we never let the sun set without knowing we’ve looked for more.
The most innovative design.
Exhilarating engineering.
Jaw-dropping performance.
Breathtaking attention to detail.
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.
Defining an eraSunseeker is a name revered the world over.
Born from a passion for powerboat racing in 1969 and an obsession to be the best, the Hostess 17 was created.
A small open speedboat that changed everything.
Robert and John Braithwaite had created a boat that set a new standard.
And even though that was nearly half a century ago, its roots are ever-present in everything we do today.
It’s about unrelenting passion, imagination and innovation. About the courage to be daring, to be different and to always seek a better way. To always seek more.
That vision is now shared by over 2,400 employees and in every one of the 120 Sunseeker retail and service locations.
And they carry the Sunseeker name in everything they do today and tomorrow.

Ahead of our time
We haven’t stayed in front by looking backwards. We’re always looking ahead.
Always looking forward for new ways to push the boundaries of technology and ourselves. It begins at the core of
the build. The hull. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has now become a key
part of our design process. Allowing us to experiment with variations of hull
shape to ensure we get the performance in the water we’re renowned for.
It’s the type of technology not uncommon in motorsport design.
We use it to allow our designers to assess sea-keeping, fuel economy, ride quality
and try different drive systems and power options before construction even begins.
And this is just the beginning. This innovation continues throughout the build.
In every step, from a 3D CAD design, to carbon-fibre technology, resin infusion and
direct tooling methodologies. It’s how we stay in front. It’s what we’re renowned for.
A heritage of details
There are some things that never change. No matter how far we come to the cutting edge, there is no machine or auto assembly that can compare to generations of true craftsmanship.
Those highly skilled masters of painstaking detail that nothing can replicate. It’s why we use no substitute when it comes to our carpentry, cabinet-making, engineering, upholstery and more. We know our customers appreciate the finest of details. And we know these details can only come from true artisans.

A life unlimited
Every Sunseeker is unique from the crowd.
It’s what makes them stand out. It’s what makes them recognised and
revered the world over.
But when our customers want something even more distinctive, they can create a Sunseeker that reflects their tastes and
lifestyle perfectly.
Because to them, it’s more than a yacht – it’s creating a deeply personal space. A space that will enhance each day.
Working with our in-house team, our customers can create a yacht which is
truly their own. From choosing upholstery and fittings, to optional floorplans and
arrangements, it can all be made to measure for them and them alone.
Translating their ideas into their very own vision of perfection.

Beyond boundaries
We’ve never believed in boundaries.
In the way we build our yachts. In the way we see the world.
We started breaking them when we built our very first boat.
And this spirit is instilled within every yacht we make today.
The desire to seek more.
Being the UK’s largest boat manufacturer has not diluted this. In fact, it’s deeper than ever.
You’ll find it in over 120 Sunseeker retail and service locations, across five continents and 74 countries.
