Sunseeker 82 Yacht Review (2002 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The yacht comes with a hi-lo platform and a jet ski attached to the back for added fun.  Up the steps from here is a wonderful shaded aft-cockpit which can be enclosed using a canopy.

The yacht's outdoor areas are impressive, with sunbathing spots, seating, and a bar. The flybridge is equipped with multi-function displays, engine controls, steering, and thrusters.

Inside, the yacht boasts a dining table that can be folded up to save space and a fridge. Nick commended the social area, mentioning the seating design and the warmth the woodwork brings to the yacht.

The yacht features mesh covers on the windows, concealed lighting, a large dining table, and a galley. The owner of this yacht does not have a crew, opting to run the yacht with friends or family. The yacht is designed to accommodate this with a door that can separate the galley if needed. The galley features a wine cooler, a large American-style fridge freezer, storage for food, and cooking equipment.

The lower helm has two large black leather chairs, Raymarine auto function displays, autopilot, wind indicators, searchlight control, and throttles. It also has bow and stern thrusters.

The yacht has a snug area up ahead of the galley, a perfect spot for a morning coffee or a good book. The lower deck hosts the VIP cabin, which Nick initially mistook for the master cabin due to its size. This cabin has ample storage, a dressing table, a walk-in wardrobe, and an en-suite bathroom.

There are four cabins in total.  A day head, another guest cabin, and the master cabin complete with a dressing table, large windows, and a walk-in wardrobe.

The yacht's engines are a pair of MTUs with 1,500 horsepower each, likely pushing the boat to around 30 knots flat out and cruising in the low 20s. There are also two generators and an air conditioning system. Nick also spotted a washing machine and electronic switch gear in the engine room.

Overall, Nick was highly impressed with the Sunseeker 82 Yacht. He praised its size, finish, and the warmth it exudes. He also appreciated its adaptability, catering to owners who prefer to run the yacht without a crew. The amount of storage and the yacht's social areas were also highlights.
