Sunseeker Predator 75 Review (2023 Edition)

Sunseeker's Predator 75 has taken the Predator 74 to a whole new level. The exterior has a Shadow Grey gelcoat with Jet Black detailing and a low coupé hardtop. Sunseeker has also installed dual-colour blue and white Lumishore underwater lighting and 22 additional LED side deck lights for night use to give it a striking nighttime signature.

The Predator 75 is built on the same platform as the Sport Yacht 75 but takes a different approach from the roof down. It offers single-level living — the flat floor design eliminates any steps or drops. The windows drop down to support this connection, making the main living space feel incredibly expansive.

Sunseeker has integrated the XPS pack as standard on the Predator 75, unlike the 74 where it was an extra. This adds handsome carbon fibre detailing all over the boat, from the sunroof to the cockpit tables, setting it apart from the Sport Yacht 75. Sunseeker also offers an optional Performance AV package, featuring Sonos speakers in all exterior spaces and on the main deck.

The galley is located on the lower deck, which might seem a bit old school, but it works brilliantly for this design. The Predator 75 stays true to its roots as a powerful sports cruiser, proving that traditional layouts still have their merits. The yacht offers a three-cabin layout, with the owner's stateroom situated amidships and extending the full beam. There's even an option to convert a seating area into an extra cabin with bunks, which would be better if you plan to charter the yacht.

On nice days, the saloon merges with the cockpit, resulting in a big, open entertaining area. Alternatively, it can be enclosed for a more intimate setting. A lovely feature is the L-shaped seating area, raised next to the helm. This setup gives a cosy spot for passengers to enjoy the ride adjacent to the skipper.

The saloon is well-appointed. There's a large table perfect for dining or social gatherings, a bar area equipped with an ice maker, a fridge, and a pop-up TV. The star attraction, however, is the enormous carbon fibre sunroof with integrated glass. It's one of the largest sunroofs on any production boat and even when closed allows huge gulps of natural light to pour down into the saloon. 

It's one of the key differentiating feature from the 75 Sport Yacht, which has a small flybridge and sunroof but can't open up the way the big the Pred does.

Galley

Moving downstairs to the galley, it's clear that practicality hasn't been sacrificed for style on the Predator 75. This galley has integrated Miele appliances, including a full-height refrigerator and freezer, a slimline dishwasher, and a 33-bottle wine cooler. There's plenty of countertop space for meal prep, and there's even a connected breakfast bar with a carbon fibre tabletop.

Natural light comes down from the windscreen so the galley does not feel dark or claustrophobic. The decor is neutral and there are nice details like inset stainless steel on the bulkheads. An HD television and Sonos sound bar are also part of the package.

The additional seating space in the lower saloon could be considered surplus to requirements given the seating up on the main deck, but it's a cosy spot for morning coffee or breakfast nonetheless. Alternatively, there's the option to convert this area into an extra cabin with bunks.

Owner’s Cabin

The owner's stateroom, located amidships, spans the full beam of the yacht, and, as you descend into this space, you'll notice ample storage cupboards, handy for bedding and towels. The cabin itself opens up to reveal a blend of practical and stylish features. Sunseeker has paid homage to its heritage here with detailing similar to its original logo that is subtly integrated into the bed head.  

Carbon fibre detailing on the doors and black handles make the space quite masculine but it rings with quality. Practical stuff hasn't been overlooked; there's a proper walk-in wardrobe on one side, spacious for a yacht of this size and style. The ensuite bathroom is equally impressive, featuring a separate shower cubicle and a layout that's easy to navigate. The headroom is more than adequate even if you are over 6ft tall.

The whole cabin feels spacious, thanks in part to the enormous hull windows that provide fabulous views and a strong connection to the water. A bureau and additional storage complete the space.

Guest Accommodation

To starboard, you'll find a twin cabin that's ensuite is the dayhead, offering convenience for guests. Forward in the bow, the VIP cabin is the crown jewel of the guest quarters. This space has its own bathroom, as you would expect, and is generous in size. Large hull windows provide the area with natural light and the bed is a good size, though you'll need to climb up slightly to access it. Storage is all over, with plenty of room for personal items. There's even a nicely positioned bureau, and lots of nice detailing that mirrors the decor of the lower deck.

The yacht is propelled by twin 1,900hp V12 engines, capable of up to 40 knots. Naturally, you'll want a helm that matches the driving experience.

The dual 16-inch Garmin MFDs offer all the relevant information, so you're always in the know. It has a steer-by-wire autopilot system and a Sunseeker Cm8 power management and boat monitoring system.

Now, let's talk about comfort. The electric Besenzoni helm seats are incredibly supportive and fully adjustable, providing ergonomic comfort for extended periods at the helm. These seats allow you to move close to the helm and the dimmable overhead lighting can be set to the right amount of light. The view from the helm is also great, thanks to the amazing windscreen, which offers fabulous views forward. 

On the side decks, you'll realise how much glass has been used — it's almost 6ft high! The sleek, swooping line that meets the coach roof gives the yacht a beautiful shape. The Predator 75 is a fantastic-looking boat from pretty much every angel. 

The foredeck area is incredibly important, especially since this version does not have an upper deck. This space is maximised for outdoor living. The pram hood cover is no fuss at all, just pull it up for instant shade. Furthermore, transitioning from side deck to side deck is no problem, with that flush-floor design eliminating any trip hazards.

Sunbathers will love the large slab of space here with backrests that pop up and can stop at various stages or lay completely flat. There’s even a big, substantial table here on the foredeck (normally smaller tables are put here) that allows four people to comfortably enjoy a meal. It’s a cool space that’s been cleverly thought out.

The swim platform on the Sunseeker Predator 75 is where you'll notice some of the most significant changes compared to its predecessor, the 74. There's equal access up to the cockpit, for example, thanks to the dual staircases. 

The garage is a really useful space, comfortably accommodating a Williams jet tender. The tender launch and recovery system is installed within here, and the platform itself drops down into the water and is strong enough to lift a 450kg tender back up again.  

Through a door in this area, there's the option for a crew space. However, if you prefer, this can be converted into additional storage or fitted out for dive tanks and fishing equipment.

Cockpit

In the cockpit, Sunseeker's emphasis on single-level living is most evident. The flat floor and drop-down windows create a lovely connection between the interior and exterior spaces, making this area fantastic for both relaxation and entertaining.

You'll find a huge sun pad aft and a massive row of seating around the table. There's a break in the seating now to allow access to the starboard side deck. The cockpit also has a carbon fibre table, part of the XPS pack that comes as standard on this model. Furthermore, this table folds out and slides over, offering plenty of space for guests to sit and enjoy the area.

The wet bar here is a handy addition as the galley is located on the lower deck. It features a grill, sink, and cooling space below, perfect for serving guests without the need to traipse down to the lower deck. A built-in shade protects from the sun, and there's a second docking station here, for mooring stern-to without needing to be at the helm.
