On Deck

Nick is particularly impressed with the model's window line, which features stainless steel detailing, and its carbon fiber detailing on the engine vents.

The tender garage for this yacht is a good size. It operates via a roller system with a winch at the front. It can accommodate a Williams 325, which can be easily rolled down into the water and hauled back up.

The cockpit has lots of flexibility including a small sun pad, which can be extended to create a larger sunbathing area. There is also a shade that extends out electrically from the back of the boat. The deck area includes a wet bar with a barbecue and sink, a fridge, and an ice maker. However, this can be switched out for out-facing seating.

The foredeck sunbathing area can be extended, and the anchor chain locker there has a clever design for fender storage.

Interior

Inside the yacht, Nick notes the adaptability of the boat. It has a closed area and a deck saloon, providing a climate-controlled area that can be either enclosed or completely opened up. He also approves of the raised observation area, which allows passengers to join in the ride and feel part of the experience.

Nick is very impressed with the helm, especially its glass screens, joystick control, and ease of access to different aspects of the boat. He also loves the glass-paneled roof, which can be opened up electrically to create a more open experience.

The lower deck includes a galley with plenty of workspace, a lower dinette area, and a guest cabin. Highlights are the walnut wood finish, the guest cabin's scissor beds, and the ensuite access to the day heads. There is a boat's utility area, which can be fitted with a washing machine and dishwasher.

In the master cabin the lighting, wood trim, and storage options are highlighted. He also likes the ensuite, which features a rainfall shower.

Performance

In the engine space it is noted that despite the tender garage, there is plenty of room around the Volvo Penta D11 725 engines due to their placement further forward. Also pointed out is the V-drive configuration, which allows the engines to be situated at the back while maintaining a shaft drive.

In Summary

Nick finishes his tour by expressing his admiration for the Sunseeker Predator 55 Evo, noting its adaptability, flexibility and functionality.
