Welcoming new and existing clients from across the globe, the vast Sunseeker collection attracted worldwide interest across the whole display, from the striking red wrapped Portofino 40 through to the iconic 115 Sport Yacht “ZOZO”.

Particular attention was also paid to the brand new 86 Yacht which made its very successful debut at the show in Vieux Port, Cannes. The model generated serious interest at the show and is set to be in high demand for the coming seasons.

Representing each of the key models from the British shipyard – Performance Cruiser, Manhattan, Predator, Sport Yacht and Yacht – Sunseeker powerfully demonstrated their commitment to producing the most extensive yacht range from a single brand, and reasserted the importance of meeting client’s specific boating requirements.

Based on the exceptional and well-recognised “BLACK LEGEND” yacht, delivered in May by Sunseeker London and the sumptuous 3-cabin customised version “SANDY” sold by Sunseeker France and on display at the show, the award affirmed Sunseeker’s unrivalled and forward-thinking design capabilities.
