Sunseeker Yachts for Sale – James Bond’s Top Picks
If it’s good enough for James Bond, then it must be top notch! It’s no wonder that Sunseeker’s luxury motoryachts featured in four consecutive James Bond films. Sunseeker International is Britain’s biggest luxury yachtmaker, located in the English seaside town of Poole, on Britain’s South Coast. They have come a long way since their famous open sporty high-performance yachts, now building yachts that range from 51’7″ / 15.74m to 155′ / 47.24m. Sunseeker’s acclaimed design and production professionals have earned two International Superyacht Design awards, the Queen’s Award for Export Achievement and the latest, in 2016, the Champion of British Luxury Manufacturing award.
In 1969, at a time where there were no significant builders of boats for sports and leisure in the United Kingdom, Robert Braithwaite (later to be named Ernst & Young’s UK Entrepreneur of the Year in 2002) grabbed the opportunity to acquire Owens Cruisers’ boat molds and thus, began his journey as a boat builder. The first craft to launch was the Sovereign 17 followed by the Sovereign 20 in 1971.
A major turn-point came about when the Formula One driver, Henry Taylor,required a full-width sunbed accommodated to his boat; hence, the design and launching of the sports cruiser Sports 23 and Daycab23. Sunseeker’s first true performance model was the Offshore 28, gaining sales in the Mediterranean market. By the mid-eighties, their focus shifted from overnight accommodation boats to larger cockpits, two cabin high-performance boats: the Portofino31 and the Tomahawk 37.
In the early 90’s, Sunseeker’s first production boat with twin jet drives was launched, the Renegade 60, followed by the Predator 80. The millennium saw the launch of the 105 yacht, made with advanced composite materials and winning two of the world’s most prestigious accolades in the International Superyacht Design awards. In 2015, the delivery of Sunseeker’s 100th luxury performance motoryacht in the 100ft+ category was accomplished with Sunseeker’s flagship 155Yacht.
