Sunseeker's All New Predator 55 to show in Cannes

The Cannes Yachting Festival 2024 will feature nine yachts from the UK yacht builder.

British yacht builder Sunseeker is set to impress at the 2024 Cannes Yachting Festival, held in September, with a fleet of nine yachts ranging from 17m-30m (55ft-100ft). This premier European boat show will feature the world debut of the all-new Predator 55 yacht for sale.

The Sunseeker Predator 55 marks 30 years of design evolution in the UK builder's iconic Predator range. This 17m (55ft) yacht stands out with its curved silhouette and sloping hardtop. Powered by Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines delivering 1,450hp, the yacht reaches speeds up to 36kn.

Key features include retractable glazing, a carbon fiber sunroof, an integrated tender garage for a Williams TurboJet 325, a hydraulic bathing platform, and an aft sun pad.

The yacht's expansive aft cockpit and newly styled exterior seating enhance outdoor living. The aft retractable doors connect the galley side units with the cockpit wet bar. Inside, the Predator 55 offers an upholstered sofa, L-shaped seating, and a formal dining area with an expandable table. The foredeck features comfortable seating, a sun pad with integrated storage, and a carbon fiber sail canopy for sun protection. A gyro option reduces rolling at anchor.

The interior is customizable, allowing the main deck galley to be relocated to the lower deck for additional seating and a rise-and-fall TV. The lower deck can also be converted into a twin cabin with an en suite, accommodating up to six guests. The Predator 55 features a new collection of interior fabrics and finishes, developed in collaboration with Design Unlimited, offering a versatile color scheme tailored to each owner’s preferences.
