by The British builder is scheduled to stage the world premiere of its Predator 65 among a strong 10-model display at Boot Dusseldorf in January.
Sunseeker is scheduled to start 2022 with the world premiere of its Predator 65 at Boot Dusseldorf (January 22-30), the world’s biggest indoor boat show. The 67ft 2in model has an acrodynamic exterior featuring tinted glazing, teak, carbon-fibre and polished stainless steel, and is powered by either Volvo Penta IPS1200 or IPS-1350 engines, reaching up to 35 knots with the latter.
Andrea Frabetti, CEO at Sunseeker International, said: “The Predator 65 is an exciting proposition for any prospective buyer. With dynamic handling and exceptional performance, the driving experience is peerless while providing spacious living quarters for owners to enjoy extended time on the open water.”
An extra-wide tender garage allows a Williams SportJet 345 tender to be carried and launched via a new diagonal sliding hydraulic bathing platform. The additional garage space can store the likes of Seabobs, inflatable paddleboards and dive equipment. With the Beach Club option, the flush platform can fit free-standing furniture, while the garage door has a built-in rain shower, lighting and speakers.
In a standard arrangement, the aft cockpit includes seating backed onto a large sunpad over the garage and a social bar unit with matching stools on the port side. Owners can opt for an integrated wel bar or extended J-shaped lounge seating running aft from the galley across the width of the cockpit. The optional crew cabin is accessed via a stairwell in the aft cockpit.
Sliding doors to starboard and a dropping window portside allow the cockpit to merge with the interior, where the aft galley is complemented by a full-height shelving unit on the starboard side.
The saloon features C-shaped seating and a fixed TV behind the helm station. The space is customisable with options including seating on the starboard side with a retractable TV or extended portside seating to suit the lower galley arrangement. Above the helm, the oversized carbon-fibre sunroof opens more than 2m wide.
Below deck, a three-cabin layout include a spacious, full-beam master stateroom with a generous en-suite midships, while the VIP cabin is forward. Lower-deck options include an open-plan owner’s office linked to the master stateroom, a single-berth cabin and lower deck galley or saloon.
Sunseeker’s Boot Dusseldorf display is also set to include the new Predator 74 XPS and this year’s ‘Famous Five’ – Manhattan 55, Predator 55 EVOTM 65 Sport Yacht, 88 Yacht and 90 Ocean. The line-up also features the popular 76 Yacht, the Predator 60 EVOTM unveiled in late 2019 and the Manhattan 68, a model now available in a Pacific’ version, with the first hull headed to Hong Kong and available for sale.
