Sunseeker 100 Yacht full tour | Inside Sunseeker's new 100ft masterpiece | Motor Boat & Yachting

Welcome to one of the most important launches at the Cannes Boat Show. Behind me is the Sunseeker 100

yacht

and we got up early to come and have a first look at it. It is now a rather unusual new

boat

. You can see it. The bow area is actually quite high, it rises up and up with these huge windows coming down the top sides and that's because right behind here is the owner's cabin, so it's the owner's cabin. from the main deck on a 100 foot

yacht

, but let's go and take it. a closer look at some of the details so some facts and figures firstly the cost of this new beauty is around £8.3 million x tax so it's probably more than 10 once that you have finished fixing it with some additional details.

I have some size figures here, oh no wait, those are the opposite 90 ocean size figures, they're down here so we can see it's 97 feet 11 inches 29.85 meters it's 22 feet 8 inches wide 6.9 meters has four guest cabins plus the main one. The suite has accommodations for 10 guests plus five crew and engine options with 5,280 horsepower, a top speed of approximately 29 knots and a range of up to 1,300 nautical miles at 12 knots, so let's take a look at what's on board so we can see this area here. It's a huge hydraulic swim platform and just behind this section is the clever extendable seating system.

We've seen this in action before on the Ocean 90 and 88 yachts, but this whole section opens up and can look both ways, so you can fold it down and then you have a lovely sun lounge looking aft across the stern or all It can be raised and then you open these two straight windows and you can have the sun visors facing the raised area of ​​the cabin, so it's really clever. solution that works on two different levels and you can look in or out of the

boat

, but you can get a little impression of what that looks like from up here, so these are the two doors that open, you can see that they just open, They rise and open. open and then you have this beautiful seating area for socializing here where you have these two corner benches and then the extended seats that face the cockpit and you have that beautiful elevated space for socializing, so in another part of this half cabin section you can see below This is where you have the secondary station, if you want a helm station where you can be right next to the stern, so that when you are born in the stern also in the Mediterranean, you have very close control there, you can see some of mooring equipment. here a huge winch and cleat and then a small locker for the tails of the ropes.

All controls are here for x10 seats. You can see here the buttons for that and then the telescopic walkway to work from there to provide a walkway to the shore and then of course also the hydraulic fade platform so there are the seats that you can see how they go up, down and the lights and everything else, so all the controls for that exactly where you need them, big swinging glass doors with teak top. It can help close off that area and provide a little more security, but it's all about the connection to the water, so you have these beautiful glass doors on the transom that allow you to have a great view.

You see, there are also side deck doors a little too high here. but again, it simply provides easier access to the water or even a pontoon, so where are we going to start? Let's start on the inside, sliding glass doors so big that they are manual, but one, two, four sections slide all the way, we're not going to do that right now because we want a little peace and quiet in here, in fact, you could just slide it to close it, but here's the main hall, there are those four glass doors, oh, it's wonder

full

y cool and quiet in here, but that's the kind of impression you want to get here, you've got this huge open seating area, all low level, quite casual but with a great variety of seating, a very clever little chess set placed on the coffee table, everything is low level so you can appreciate the views across.

These big glass windows around the living room, a huge TV that's not very low, you can see it's actually fixed there, there's nowhere to fall, but you have these wonderful doors on both sides, you don't get the

full

impression. because we're kind of enclosed in the show, but these are full height glass panels and even in the bull walks outside you can see that there are sections of glass there again so you can look right in and appreciate the view being so big and open. dining area which is part of this main lounge very stylish overhead lighting, you can see these LED lights inserted and exactly the same on this side, large full height glass windows and those glass inserts in the ball path so you can see through them and then access through them. to the crew area we'll go take a look at the crew area in a minute, but let's move on for now.

If we move over here, you can see there's access to the guest cabins, obviously we'll have a look there in a minute, but first let's keep moving, this little lobby area here is pretty nice actually because there's a little bit of storage just for pieces. additional, it's a beautiful day here again, it's really nice on a big boat like this to be able to have one day heads that they can use without having to go down into anyone's cockpit another access point here this is for the electronic machinery type uh a lot of the onboard entertainment there's even some sparklers stored there so there's a lot of useful storage areas and in the little lobby area here you can see there's a wine fridge there and more, again, many times, Did you see that was a little electric push, so when you knock on that door I'm not even sure how I did it there?

Come on, it just opens up a little so you can access the wine fridge. Very good, an electric door on the refrigerator, which is a novelty at the moment. Let's go to the main area. This is the owner's cabin. You can see what makes this work. It's so special that when you move forward, this is the full beam owner's cabin on the main deck and not only do you get fantastic views through these large side windows on the upper sides that we showed you earlier from the outside, but the real resistance to the party is this, this is the door to your little private four-story terrace, we'll get to that in a minute, but while we're here, let's admire the cabin itself, a large bed, obviously, a forward-facing island bed , quite a lovely and elegant headboard here. lots of texture and detail, they are very good at their little details right now Sunseeker and even recessed lighting, nightstands, a nice little seating area with soft stool cushion, but most importantly it doesn't interfere with those windows to So that you can appreciate the view from outside there are some ports that open up there and then a private bathroom, as you would expect, really big.

Actually, I mean, this is huge for a boat this size. Huge shower area. Overhead rain shower. Normal removable shower, but absolutely huge area. two sinks and then, nicely, a separate toilet. In this section, here you can see that it works very well, but let's go out and take a look. There are many other people trying to do the exact same thing. See yours, but I think we can probably open. This now, if I open it up, excuse me, thank you and look how special that direct access is from your cabin to this lovely little four deck area right at the bow so you're right at the stern of the boat.

Two beautiful sun loungers. vantage point right on the bow imagine what it must be like to be sitting here underway don't go too fast i think you stick with it probably speed of travel but sitting there having a coffee or a chin and tonic in the evening that's so cool Of course, It's also a crew area, they'll need to access some of these lines when they dock and there's also plenty of space to store all their gear, but that's really quite special. Now we'll take a look at the deck area up here. Wait a minute, but first let's go look at the rest of the guest cabins, but one of the key things is that you can go up and down these different levels so you can see that there are steps to the rest of the guest spaces. upstairs, but it's really clever, there's also a nice little umbrella so you don't get too hot in the day's sun, so we skipped this a bit, someone was here before, but you can see there's a desk area here too so the owner can do their work, take their work with them if they wish or use it as a vanity and makeup desk area.

Very nice light oak finish. Lots of soft leathers and a full walk-in closet. It's very nice to have that kind of luxury on a boat of this type. size, so it is less than 100 feet, it is less than the load line length of 24 meters, so you can skip it yourself. You don't have to have a full business license, obviously, there's more storage here, lots of closet space, safe, all these little storage areas. So in addition to the walk-in closet, there's plenty of storage space, so let's go downstairs and take a quick look at the guest cabins while we're here.

I'm sorry I have to go down the road. There are a lot of people interested in a new boat like this, but let's go down to the guest cabins, a nice little lobby area here, some little artwork and then we can go back towards the stern of the boat and there's a beautiful double cabin here, Obviously, they all have a private bathroom. come with our own bathroom, sorry we are getting some slightly fun lighting effects here due to the LED lighting, let's stay in the cabin, large double bed again, lots of storage, lots of nice feature elements and then there is another double opposite, so they are pretty.

You can see a lot of mirror effect, there is one on the port side and this is the one on the starboard side, so we are still looking towards the stern of the boat. Here exactly the same big double bed, big windows again, shame you don't. get the full effect because we arrive relatively early in the morning and we're caught up in the show, but there's plenty of space around the bed, big TV, very nice little dresser, all in these spring-loaded closets, so there are almost no handles , everything minimized, a very charming private bathroom. once again and then moving on to the other two guest cabins and in this lobby area again there is a lot of well thought out space so there is actually a storage unit here because as you can see masses and masses of towels, never There are too many towels on a boat like this with guests. stay on board and even more storage for all the bedding underneath and then there are two more cabinets.

I like the way they've done it, so they're not entirely symmetrical. This is a little bit smaller cabin because it has the double bed, sorry, the double bed, but again, big windows, obviously, ensuite bathroom, very large bathroom here, all very well done again, a lot more storage space and, in this case, these lovely pull out lockers again, a lovely smooth opening hatch with the same textured arrangement of the head of the bed and You can see there's a pull out bunk bed here. It's a little difficult for me to reach it. I could do it in the other cabin, but you can see it unfold.

If you really need an extra bunk bed, you can have one more small one. The kids gorge themselves up there and then this one here has the twins. I think they are actually the same size, but somehow it seems bigger because you have a lot more space between the beds, but you can see they have this. configured as twins, I think they can slide, I don't know if it's a standard or optional feature but you can have the flexibility of a twin or a double layer, but there is a very good floor surface between the two beds and you can see here.

There is another Pullman bunk. Maybe I can lower it at least partially. You can see that you pull on it and that releases it and you can see that there is a bed there. I won't lower it completely, it's quite a heavy thing. but again, it just adds flexibility, meaning you can have three people sleeping in these cabins if you need to go back to having the ensuite exactly the same, so you have a lot of flexibility and different options. You've got these four cabins down here, all good sizes. I won't feel bad about any of those cabins you get and then of course the huge owner's cabin, but now let's go upstairs, we'll take you through the spaces of the cruise ship, so here we are back in the main dining room.

You have this. Lovely open plan dining station. You can seat 10 people around this table without any problem and you can see that there is direct access from here to the dining space.the kitchen, so it seems a little busy. Why don't you get out of there? Sorry, thanks, so let's take a look at the galley space, so it's going to be a crew area on a boat like this, but you have direct access to the dining area, obviously, huge refrigerated storage. You can see the size of these. They are all the same, but on both levels there are four large refrigerators there, a filling station here with a small mini coffee maker with a sink, lots of storage space and then a cooking zone here again.

They did it right by getting two burners here, two burners for cooking, so I have a total of eight burners, I have the oven underneath, a good work surface here, the sink here is not the biggest sink I've ever seen in my life, but you'll have the dishwasher and everything, so you should be able to handle it. There's the dishwasher. Miele kit which is quite well made, very clever, all neatly divided so that the knives, forks, cutlery and everything fit together and, again, plenty of overhead storage and microwave there and then in the crew space. I asked the captain before if we can.

Take a quick look down here, there's already someone else there, it's okay if I collapse, thanks here we go so you can see there's a crew dining area down here, pretty good space actually for a 100 foot yacht like this one, so there's actually somewhere they can hang out and socialize without being in the main guest spaces, they have their own area here, you can see, there's a refrigerator, there's a decent sized sink down here, washing machine , dryer, television and just touch to make sure we have one, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, this nice guy has already given me permission to take a quick look here, but you can see we have a cabin with a bathroom there, we have a cabin for a single crew there again with bathroom and Then we move on, another bunk cabin with bathroom here, so there are very good cruising spaces for a yacht of this size.

Okay, okay, it's pretty comfortable. You are very good. We're definitely going. So let's take a quick look. You're very kind. Thank you. You can see that kind of mirror version of the other person next door. We have twin berths here and a private bathroom so all the crew cabins are en suite so all the crew cabins are really nice very comfortable excellent thank you and you can. Look, there are also controls on the bulb on the bulkhead here so you can keep an eye on some of the key features. We have fuel and water capacity and basic navigation elements, very useful to be able to keep an eye on them even when we are going down and having something to eat and also VHF and intercom, so let's go back up.

We have seen that there is direct access through this door. I think we're going to go back this way to appreciate. in full extension, come on, actually, let's go up to the elevated cockpit. Now this is where the captain gets to work. You can see this is the fully enclosed elevated cockpit, the bridge deck, so this is where everything happens and in fact it's the only helm station on the ship, there's no outside one, everything happens from here and you are on that raised deck level, you are not on the flybridge level, which is a little bit higher, but you are above the main deck and just behind it.

At the beginning of the forward owner's cabin I see the helm station itself, three large Simrad glass bridge screens, I mean they are as big as they come, I'm not quite sure what size it is but they are absolutely huge, I have a fantastic view of everything that happens. Address this one, obviously we have it set up with a camera looking towards the engine room, the main navigation screen and here are all the stats and figures again, a repeat of that screen below where you can see exactly what the fuel pellet is about 13,000 liters that this boat carries, we have approximately half the tanks at the moment, just over six thousand fresh water capacity, that is, 1600 liters, gray tank, 1100 black tank, 1100 accelerators for the two engines mtu, we have twin mtus on this side, power controls, hydraulic thrusters in the bow.

The thruster and the stern thruster give you very good control of the boat at close range and obviously as well as being touch screens you also have manual control through here and this is the autopilot so everything you need is there. very clear, everything at your fingertips and The traditional compass on the top is now very pronounced displays. They have the umbrellas up right now, but it's interesting to see what kind of view you get from here, but you have full control of everything you see from the side. and then you go up to the main deck and it's quite nice to have a little seating area here so other crew members or guests can come and see what it takes to control a yacht like this.

This is where things start to get really really complicated. interesting, this is on the flybridge deck and is purely an entertainment space, so on a traditional flybridge yacht you would probably have an outside helm station here, clearly there is no need for that, you have it all internal in that cockpit elevated pilot. so there are two beautiful corner seats there, one corner seat here and you can see that they seem to almost float, they are dimly lit, but they give a very nice, extra foot space under the seats, very nice and small. sociable corner areas with a couple of director's chairs, a large dining area here and you can see this is already set up for 12 people, which is a very wide antique table, a large bar area on the starboard side, four stools and many good things behind here.

We'll see, we've got an ice maker in there, twin refrigerators, I think there's two more refrigerators in there, storage sink, really imagine sitting there with a cocktail or two in the evening and down here is the grill so the chef can eat. to work there, grill some prawns or a steak within sight of the gas and then this fantastic spa pool at the aft of the flybridge area, a lovely couple of steps with handrails and that infinity pool effect you can look out over the end of of glass. the spa pool and glass are worth it so you can get an uninterrupted view, there are a couple of sun loungers next to it and it is actually a full walk so you can get the maximum effect from sitting here looking at the stern, beautiful and beautiful.

You can see there are big speakers all over the place installed in these cockpit combinations, a couple of life rafts up here, nice and accessible, and then let me show you how all of this ties into the forward decks and this is the real beauty of this. There are two big, wide side platforms on either side of this space and that windshield is going to provide really nice protection on the road, so these seats here should be beautifully protected, but look at this, they're going down slightly, they're very wide so you can walk. here, sure as you like, waist-high handrails here and then this fantastic socializing space forward here, so again it's just below the raised cockpit, but you can see the decks slope down slightly in this direction and there's a big Seating wrap here big T shaped table again there's coolers under here everywhere you go you're never more than an arm's length away from a cold beer which frankly is how it should be on a yacht like this we have a big awning here, carbon fiber poles. that slot provides a little bit of shade, I mean this is the place to be and then those big loungers up ahead, you can see these raised backrests so it's an absolutely fabulous place to hang out.

Imagine reading your book there, looking forward to it. the nice cooling breeze off the bow is moving at a fantastic 10 12 knots and you can see this links to the private four deck owner's deck and those are the steps to climb up and that big sliding glass door into the owner's cabin so you can see how there's kind of a private space where you want it to be, but equally everything connects to this area here, a lot of storage here again, mainly equipment cleaning stuff, etc., but let me show you that this is the full surround effect, so you can see you can also walk down this side and that just means that this entire raised flybridge full deck area is connected, it's all one big space, so you effectively have the entire length of the boat almost the entire length for most of it. 90 foot long entertaining space from that little discreet private area here across this four deck space again, a huge storage space underneath here huge and that's actually a refrigerated space.

You can see there's a cooling panel there and a drain hole, so again, just more refrigerated storage space, that's the Fusion music system, so again you can control that from here, a couple of cup holders everywhere you look and these are the controls for the backrest, you can see just buzzing up and down, nothing as clunky as having to do it manually, that's all. done electrically it's really cool, so from that four deck right here, over the bar and back to the half cockpit, you can see how everything connects, one of the easiest boats to move around I think.

I've come across again, we have controls here, this is for the hydraulic platform, the other side was for the extended seats, again, more lights, everything you need there, so now let's go down, you can see both sides of this room, it is not completely full. There are little terraces up front and I think that's because you can get optional opening doors there, if you want to have doors that open on both sides they will open, they're not folding balconies or anything like that but it means you can open them and take some. fresh air comes in and this nice little walking area doesn't really go anywhere if you don't have the doors, just go up but look over the side, put your fenders on so it gives you good access on both sides but it doesn't really It leads down to the four deck area, so now this is actually an access to the engine room, let's see if we can open it up so you can see it opens, there's a little cutout that allows you to go through and it's a very steep vertical staircase there. down, so it's interesting to see how I achieve this with the camera in hand, but let's try it, you can see it's quite a steep vertical drop, just move my hand position, hold it, there's a long way down, one more there .

We're doing well, so this is the engine room. Now you can see that we have all the switch panels on this forward bulkhead. We have cooling fans on both sides. There's one flying towards my ear right here. Obviously I need to keep the engine spacers cool. Functional as possible exactly the same here these are hydraulic systems for the side power fins and the thrusters, so obviously it will also have stabilizer fins to make it stable at rest and underway. Here we have fuel filters that you can see on both sides again. about redundancy, so you can just move it if one gets stuck and keep running while you clean the other and here are the two engines which actually look relatively modest compared to the size of the boat, they are mtu twins, just over 2 000 horsepower strength each, I think, giving it a top speed of around 29 knots.

I think this boat tends to cruise most of the time around 18 knots for maximum efficiency, but she is really good, she has full standing clearance, you can see I can stand up easily. here and there there is a good amount of clearance over the engine, so although there is a garage area that doesn't really get in the way too much because these engines are relatively short, you can walk over both of them and you can see that there is a small platform as well. hatch in the half cockpit so you can go down there as well, let's see if we can crawl over the side and go a little bit further towards the stern so you can see we have twin generators, we have a color generator on this side and I can see another one. one over there and then here's the whole battery charge, look at that really clean wiring, beautifully done, all the wires tied together, more cooling fans, lots of thermal and acoustic insulation and then the steering gear is down there on a small fairly dark looking area, if necessary.

Come to this, here are the brackets for the big exhaust that goes up there and I think it's very similar, the other side just fell back up there, so again I almost caught my microphone cable, the tail generator, more battery chargers on this side and a big So there's the Glendon shoreline cable, so it all stacks up neatly there, but you pull it out and plug it in, and that's the Atlas marine shoreline power system, so Let's continue on our way, we lost a step to see if we can get back out, I think this is one.

Of the small commitments there are, it is abouta very steep vertical staircase. Let's see if I can climb back up with one hand. I'm sure most of the crew will be much more agile than me, but that's not the easiest access I've ever had. I've seen it before, but let's close that door, we don't want anyone to fall in there by mistake, but that's very discreet, you barely know that door was there because it's painted with that dark glow, like the rest, and that was shot towards the engines. and the fuel film, so it's all discreetly hidden behind there, so let's finish in that mid-cabin area, have a seat, I need to rest a little after climbing those steps, but that's the Suntica 100 yacht, it's the last.

Launching with that fantastic elevated flybridge area. I think that's the unique selling point along with that gorgeous full-beam main deck master suite, but I hope you enjoyed the

tour

. Thank you so much for watching and I hope to see you next time. goodbye for now
