On Deck
The Sunseeker 40 Metre Yacht showcases an impressive exterior with a tender garage that seamlessly integrates into the design. The platform drops and allows for the tender to be rolled out effortlessly. The yacht features an awning and a bimini top for shade, highlighting its well-thought-out deck amenities.
The sundeck is expansive, offering sunbathing areas, free weights for exercise, and a jacuzzi surrounded by seating. The area is equipped with a bar, refrigeration, and a barbecue grill, concealed for aesthetic appeal. Awnings extend from the arch for added comfort, and the satellite domes and radars are neatly arranged on the top, maintaining the yacht's sleek profile.
Interior
Inside, the yacht benefits from recent refurbishments, including new carpeting, upholstery, and cushions. The saloon is not full beam, preserving side walkways, yet it still feels voluminous. The sky lounge serves as an alternative social space with a cinema-like setup, a bar, and a card table. The yacht also includes a well-stocked wine cooler and a pantry for convenience.
The helm station is described as a "proper place of business," featuring a comprehensive array of navigation and monitoring equipment, including cameras, radar, and an advanced ship operating system. The steering wheel's position is justified by the standing pilot preference during harbor maneuvers.
Accommodation
Owner's Cabin
The owner's cabin is a full beam space on the main deck, with luxurious amenities such as a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite with a rainfall shower and additional jets. The space is also equipped with a vanity and offers abundant storage.
Guest Accommodation
The guest accommodations include four cabins on the lower deck, each with its own en-suite, similar in standard to the owner's cabin but scaled down. The cabins are generously sized, with no sense of compromise, and the yacht's design includes interconnected escape routes for emergency situations.
Crew Accommodation
The crew areas are extensive, with a separate crew galley and mess equipped with a monitoring system for the vessel. Crew cabins are twin-bunked with individual en-suites, and there is a dedicated captain's cabin with guest cabin quality, including an en-suite with a separate shower.
Performance
Equipped with twin MTU 12V4000 engines, each producing 3,180 horsepower, the yacht boasts speeds up to the mid-20s and a cruising range just under 1,000 miles at an economical speed of 14 knots. The engine room is spacious and houses the generators and air conditioning units, indicating the yacht's planing capabilities.
