Next month’s Cannes Yacht Festival will be marked by Sunseeker’s exclusive celebration to recognise a huge landmark for the business – the delivery of the 100th luxury performance yacht in the 100ft+ “superyacht” category. The first 100ft+ model of the prominent British shipyard was Sunseeker 105 Yacht (example is charter yacht Moliver), launched in the summer of 2000.

Today, the shipyard produces on average around seven 100ft+ yachts every year at its manufacturing facilities in Dorset, UK. The company’s 100ft+ offering now extends from the elegant and striking Sunseeker 101 Sport Yacht (example can be luxury yacht Sandy) to the impressive flagship – Sunseeker 155 Yacht (example is superyacht Blush), with a diverse range of options in between. Moreover, the company is currently working on the construction of several amazing new models set for launch in 2016, including the new Sunseeker 131 Yacht and Sunseeker 116 Yacht. Both of these have attracted multiple forward orders from customers until 2017.

Sunseeker’s CEO Phil Popham comments: “Sunseeker is renowned for making luxury performance motor yachts that deliver innovation, technology, design and style. The breadth of our range is the world’s largest under a single brand, built upon a heritage spanning nearly 50 years. From our earliest model measuring a very modest 17 feet to our current flagship 155 Yacht, we pride ourselves on hand-crafting boats that inspire and delight. This is a momentous occasion which is truly worth recognising and I am delighted to be joining our customers and colleagues from around the world to celebrate our milestone of delivering 100 luxury yachts over 100 feet.”

In addition to the celebrations of an important milestone for Sunseeker, eight of the brand’s luxury performance motor yachts will be displayed at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2015, including the majestic Sunseeker 115 Sport Yacht (example is charter yacht Chimera) and the superb Sunseeker 86 Yacht. Visitors will also be able to learn more about three amazing new models scheduled for launch in early 2016 – the Sunseeker 131 Yacht, Sunseeker 116 Yacht and Sunseeker 95 Yacht.

Sales Director at Sunseeker, Sean Robertson, comments: “We are really looking forward to displaying our iconic range of luxury performance motor yachts at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival and delighted to be celebrating the delivery of 100 luxury yachts over 100 feet. This major milestone for the business will be celebrated with Sunseeker owners at the show and we’ll also be sharing more details of the exciting new models set for launch in 2016.”
