On Deck

The Sunseeker 88 Yacht features a hi-lo bathing platform with dedicated storage for swimming gear and a locker for Seabobs. The platform ingeniously converts into a sunbathing area with a door that raises to provide a backrest, creating a lounging spot with views of the water.

The exterior finishings include wood cappings and freestanding furniture in the cockpit. The bulwarked decks with thick, hooped rails offer a secure, yacht-like experience, while the bow features a seating area around a table and adjustable sunbeds. Nick notes the twin anchor setup and robust navigation equipment at the bow.

The flybridge is extensive, with a sunbathing area, optional crane or hot tub, and freestanding furniture. A glass barrier provides unobstructed views. The flybridge also includes a wet bar with water-cooled fridges, an ice maker, and a barbecue.

The hardtop shades the dining area and can either retract or feature louvers. The helm on the flybridge has comfortable bucket seats and integrated navigation systems.

Interior

Inside, the yacht boasts a new smoked eucalyptus wood finish with satin detailing, ceiling lights, and backlit features. The saloon offers hidden storage and integrated lighting and climate controls.

The dining area is characterized by its floor-to-ceiling windows and a bulwark cutaway for improved views. The bar area showcases Sunseeker's attention to detail with its finishes and storage solutions.

The helm features a pocket door for privacy and direct access to the side deck. It is equipped with 24-inch navigation screens, Sunseeker seats, and controls for air conditioning, VHF radio, thrusters, and engine. The control systems provide access to the boat's various operational aspects, including bilges, pumps, tankage, and power.

The owner's cabin is impressively large, with storage options, elegant lighting, and a dressing table. The ensuite is spacious, with a rainfall shower, and strategically placed to provide a double bulkhead between the engines and the cabin. This area is almost the full beam of the yacht.
