SUN SEEKER 65 SPORT YACHT

here do you start with the 65 Sport Yacht? The way it looks, maybe? Sleek, muscular and proportioned to perfection, it might be the best looking model in Sunseeker’s current range. Or maybe the accommodation? Three beautifully appointed cabins with access to their own equally impressive bathrooms. Then there’s the cavernous tender garage, which can swallow a Williams 345 and a Seabob but, with a teak-laid floor, optional overhead shower and a hi-lo bathing platform that elegantly glides down diagonal tracks into the water, could also be used as a beach club. Let’s not forget the power. Volvo Penta IPS1350s (or 1200s, though it’s unlikely many will be built with the smaller engines) with a combined total of 2,000hp, which will propel this 38-tonne sportsbridge to a top speed a whisker shy of 35 knots. The price? Well, all told, the one we tested came in at just under £3.1 million including VAT, which is quite punchy if you’re of the opinion that you’re getting half the amount of flybridge deck compared to a Manhattan. This boat had some high-ticket items on board, though, like the £200,000 Mediterranean Package (see costs and options panel on p51) and £140,000 worth
