The luxury yacht market is eagerly anticipating the European debut of the Sunseeker Ocean 182 at the 2024 Boot Dusseldorf show. This tri-deck version of the Sunseeker 90 Ocean is claimed to be a masterclass in design and engineering and promises to offer an unparalleled on-water experience.
Aptly named the Sunseeker Ocean 182 to reflect its impressive gross tonnage, the yacht boasts over 2,000 sq/ft of interior space, thanks to its wide-beam design and the addition of a newly enclosed top deck.
The Sunseeker Ocean 182 comes with an imaginative standard arrangement featuring a stylish internal staircase that leads to an upper deck. This area can be transformed based on the owner's preferences, either left open or specified as an enclosed sky lounge. The absence of the lower helm station on the main deck has allowed the designers to create a bright dining area and galley forward, giving way to a larger saloon space aft, reminiscent of a luxurious beachside apartment.
For outdoor enthusiasts, the yacht's upper structure does command some of the exterior space, but it compensates with a 24m2 split-level beach club that promises to be the envy of any sea lover. Accommodation on the lower deck remains unchanged, with a full-beam owner's suite, two double guest suites, and a VIP double in the bow, all finished to the highest standard.
Prospective buyers will have the flexibility to customize the newly covered area, opting for either an open back with a security hatch or a fully enclosed sky lounge with sliding glass doors. The outdoor options are plentiful, with a private bow lounge and a smaller aft deck supplementing the beach club.
The specifications of the Sunseeker Ocean 182 are as impressive as its design, with a length overall of 27m (88ft), a beam of 7m (24ft), and a draft of 2m (6ft). The yacht's displacement stands at a substantial 79,300kg, with a fuel capacity of 13,000 liters and a water capacity of 1,500 liters.
When it comes to performance, the Sunseeker Ocean 182 does not disappoint. With engine options all from MAN V12s on V-drives, the power ranges from twin 1,650hp to 2,000hp units. This allows for a top speed of around 27 knots and a cruising range of 1,100nm, balancing speed with endurance for long voyages. Alternatively, the vessel can be optioned with twin MTU engines that can deliver up to 3,000hp for exhilarating performance.
Those in the market for a luxury yacht for sale will find the starting price of £7,700,000 (excluding VAT) to be commensurate with the Sunseeker Ocean 182's exceptional offering. With a CE classification of Category B, it is a vessel designed for both comfort and performance, suitable for voyaging in coastal waters and large bays.
The Sunseeker Ocean 182 is sure to attract attention at the Boot Dusseldorf show as it represents a blend of elegance, innovation, and power, setting a new standard for what a luxury yacht can offer.
Whether new or eventually used, this yacht is poised to be a prized possession for any discerning owner seeking to spend time at sea in style.
