Sunseeker’s latest Ocean model designations are based on gross tonnage. Whether we call these yachts enclosed flys or mini tridecks, they offer a lot more volume than conventional designs of the same length. In fact, the second of these models, the Ocean 156, has a length overall of 82 feet, 6 inches, but is substantially bigger in gross tonnage than Sunseeker’s 95 Yacht or 100 Yacht.

The advantage with this approach is the amount of space on the main deck. The helm on the Ocean 156 is on the enclosed upper deck, along with a good-size sky lounge, which means the main salon is all about the guests. It has not only a pair of conventional doors leading aft to the cockpit, but also a similar setup forward, allowing passage to a foredeck terrace with a pair of sofas. Yes, there’s an air seal on those front doors to keep them watertight, and guests get a walk-through experience from bow to stern with 360-degree views through the glazing.

Even the staircases up and down are enclosed in glass. Guests can also walk completely around the main deck outside without having to negotiate steps. Side-deck doors amidships help with guest and crew flow, and the bulwarks amidships have long glass panels for allowing natural light to shine through.

The standard main-deck layout has lounge and dining areas with an open bar and galley to starboard. Some owners may prefer the galley aft or want a main-deck owner’s space. The latter option would increase the yacht’s four staterooms to five but hinder that wondrous walk-through design. Sunseeker says that of the 156s sold to date, 40 percent have amidships galleys, 40 percent have galleys aft, and just one has a main-deck owner’s stateroom.

Interior color schemes are contemporary, with light and dark options from the UK studio Design Unlimited in association with Sunseeker’s in-house creative team.

The Ocean 156’s semi-displacement hull is fulsome. The maximum beam extends slightly farther forward than the beam on the 4-foot-longer Sunseeker 88 Yacht, and the beam itself on the Ocean 156 adds 3 inches. That may not sound like a lot, but I could feel the generosity of space as I moved around the new model.

Belowdecks, the four guest staterooms are en suite. Three have double berths, and one has twins. The grander double spans the full beam amidships. In the absence of a main-deck owner’s stateroom, it would be the obvious choice, with rectangular picture windows, a forward-facing super-king berth, a sofa, a vanity/desk and a dressing room. Another double-berth stateroom is in the bow with great headroom. Quarters for two crew are near the engine room.

Power-wise, the Ocean 156 is available with twin 1,300 hp MAN V-8 or twin 1,650 hp V-12 diesels. Of the first 15 boats sold to dealers, just one, bound for Hong Kong, had the standard engines with a top reported speed of 20 to 21 knots. The hull that I got aboard had the bigger blocks, delivering 25 knots at half-load, with a likely range of 950 nautical miles at 10 knots or 350 nm at 20 knots.

My experience at the upper-deck helm included superb visibility with a real connection to the outside world via a sunroof, a drop-down window to starboard and a sliding door to port. There’s a gyrostabilizer option, but this Ocean 156 had Interceptor trim tabs and electric Humphree All Speed fin stabilizers set farther aft than usual. They reduced pitch and heel through surprisingly quick turns while keeping the bow up.

This yacht is quiet too, with V-boxes that allow the engines to be located well aft. I registered just 57 decibels at 19 knots, and only 59 decibels at full chat at the helm—figures lower than the level of normal conversation. And at speeds below 12 knots, I got even lower readings.

For exploring ashore, the yacht’s hydraulic swim platform is large enough for a 14-foot jet tender along with a personal watercraft.

To me, though, it was the interior on the Ocean 156 that made a real statement. I imagine we will soon see other builders copy this design approach. That’s how good it felt to be aboard.  

Feeling is Believing

Calling a yacht “light and airy” is a cliché, but light and air are hugely important on board, and the Sunseeker Ocean 156 has a startling amount of both. In my 35 years as a yachting journalist, I have never been aboard any three-deck yacht with an enclosed main deck that had more light, more access to air or better views.

In Motion

Power-wise, the Ocean 156 is available with twin 1,300 hp MAN V-8 or twin 1,650 hp V-12 diesels.

Choices, Choices

The Ocean 156 that I got aboard had twin 17.5-kilowatt Cummins-Onan generators. The standard setup has one 29 kW genset. A bow thruster is also standard, with a stern-thruster option. Owners can also have a second pilot seat, as well as display upgrades such as two 22-inch Garmin touchscreens instead of the standard 16-inch units.  

Inside Matters

There was a light, contemporary interior with a white-gray oak sole and midtone walnut veneers on the Ocean 156 I got aboard, which was bound for the Mediterranean. Other schemes include dark walnut, light oak, smoked eucalyptus and flame mahogany. Sunseeker says half the orders so far have been with light schemes.

wallywhy100

The Wallywhy100 represents a refined approach to semidisplacement cruising, focusing on comfort, interior–exterior flow, and slower‑paced enjoyment. At approximately 70 feet, the yacht features sweeping lines and a unique frameless‑glass aft enclosure that integrates the wet bar and lounge, creating a seamless entertaining space. The full‑beam master suite amidships offers expansive views and an en suite head, providing residential comfort. Luca Bassani’s guiding philosophy emphasizes relaxed cruising rather than high speed, reflected in the hull’s optimized displacement form. Ideal for owners who value style, sophistication, and fluid indoor‑outdoor transition, the Wallywhy100 delivers a minimalist, loft‑like feel rarely seen in this size range. She provides enough performance to outrun weather but primarily invites guests to glide along in comfort and elegance.

Platform engineering—using the same basic hull form and powertrain, but with different interpretations above and belowdecks—can speed up the development of new yacht models. Sunseeker Yachts is using this technique in the 55-foot range with the Superhawk 55 sport cruiser that debuted in 2023, the 55 Sport Yacht coming later this year, and the Predator 55, which is the new entry-level model in the Predator lineup.

This Predator 55 should not be confused with the old Predator 55 or the 55 Evo model that Sunseeker built from 2020 until recently. This Predator 55 is a true sistership to the Predator 65 and 75 that are now part of the builder’s lineup.

Like the Superhawk 55, the Predator 55 is pulled along by twin Volvo Penta D11-725s and IPS950s. Those diesels max out at 2,550 rpm, producing a top speed of about 37 knots at half-load. There’s about a 1-knot difference in top speeds between the two, with the Predator being slower because of the extra superstructure weight and glazing.

I got aboard Hull No. 2 of the Predator 55 just after its UK debut at the Southampton International Boat Show, when the boat had to be moved in deteriorating weather back to Sunseeker headquarters. It’s not a long trip from the western end of the Solent across Poole Bay, but the sea was getting lumpy as the windspeed edged up over a building tide. We’d also have to deal with running into darkness. The main concern was the lobster-pot markers, which can foul a prop or worse.

In those conditions, the best we could do was just under 35 knots. According to our numbers, the 55 will run all day at 2,000 rpm and around 25 knots with a range of 250 nautical miles. At 30 knots, fuel burn is similar, just under 2 gallons per mile for an ultimate range of 230 to 240 nm. During most of my time on board, we maintained a comfortable 18-knot cruise in 5-foot seas. The 55 heels into turns, a reminder that Predators are meant to be sporty and driving them should be enjoyable. A Seakeeper gyrostabilizer and Trim Assist are there for skippers who want them.

On the main deck, a sofa, table and sun pad are forward. In the cockpit, there are two sofas: an L-shaped booth to port and a long one with its back to a central transom sun pad. Steps on each side connect with the hydraulic swim platform and the garage at the stern.

Inside, the main salon can be configured as a lounge or as a half-lounge, half-galley. The starboard-side helm has good visibility forward and to the sides, with a one-piece windshield and reasonably slender A and B pillars. There are two Aras helm seats, along with an opening side window and the sunroof framed in carbon fiber for more light and fresh air.

The lower deck—accessed from a centerline staircase that descends beneath the windshield—has two en suite staterooms in the standard layout. The full-beam owner’s space is amidships with a forward-facing double berth, stowage to port and a full-height closet. To starboard, there’s either stowage with a vanity or a breakfast booth. The forepeak VIP stateroom also has a double berth. Owners can choose a third stateroom (with bunks), a lower lounge or a lower galley. Headroom on the lower deck is about 6 feet, 6 inches where it counts in the master and VIP.

On the Predator 55 that I got aboard, the owner had chosen the galley-up, three-stateroom layout with a fetching shark-gray gelcoat hull, light half-gloss oak veneers, a white-oak sole and, most strikingly, smoky blue doors on the galley cabinetry. A wide spectrum of styling combinations are available for owners to personalize their yachts.

One of the big options for Sunseeker Predator 55 owners is the ability to have the galley up or down. Courtesy Sunseeker

There have been 34 Predator models during the past 30 years. Some of the older ones topped out above 40 knots, but these newest designs prioritize comfort as well as function. They still have top speeds between 35 and 40 knots, super-sweet lines, and a satisfyingly sporty feel at the wheel, and they add a lot to like in the relaxation areas.  

Above or Below

One of the big options for Sunseeker Predator 55 owners is the ability to have the galley up or down. With the galley-down arrangement (shown above), accommodations are two staterooms. If owners go with the galley-up setup, the lower deck can be ordered with a third guest stateroom or a lower lounge. 

Key Features

One of the Predator 55’s notable traits is that it’s a quiet ride. With all the doors closed at 18 knots, we measured 64 decibels at the helm, about the level of normal conversation. Also notable is the yacht’s tender garage, which accommodates a Williams Turbojet 325 tender. The Volvo Penta IPS powertrain can come with Active Ride Control, a Dynamic Positioning System, Joystick Docking and a Glass Cockpit.

When Sunseeker introduced its 86 Yacht in late 2014, the model replaced the 88 in the Yacht range—one of seven lines that Sunseeker currently offers.​

Belowdecks, accommodations on the 86 include four staterooms, with options to have the master suite amidships or aft.

The 86 had four powerplant options, all MTUs, ranging from a combined 2,760 hp up to a combined 3,900 hp. Top speeds range from 27 knots to 31 knots.

At press time, there were 18 Sunseeker 86s available, ranging from $1.76 million to $6.02 million.

From the Archive

“Sunseeker designed the 86 Yacht from the keel up to deliver serious cruising flexibility. Conceived by the builder’s long-standing in-house naval architect, Ewen Foster, this yacht’s hull form is a hybrid. It can deliver the usual Sunseeker planing speeds, but it’s a little bit deeper in the forefoot and a little flatter aft, which helps deliver more efficient displacement and semi-displacement performance. The transom deadrise is 17 degrees.”

Allied Marine currently has a 2001 Sunseeker Predator 75 called Gambler listed for $619,000. The oversized express cruiser has charter-ready appeal and according to Allied Marine is strategically designed for the Miami charter market. 

“Unleash the potential of luxury and revenue with this Sunseeker 75 Predator, a standout vessel tailored for the Miami lifestyle,” says Allied Marine. “This sleek yacht delivers sophistication, performance, and profitability, making it the ultimate choice for private enjoyment or high-demand charters.”

After a fun day on the water is over and everyone is ready to turn in for the night, the Predator 75 has a three-stateroom layout belowdecks. The master on the 75 is forward with a centerline berth. The double VIP is amidships with the third cabin having bunk berths.

IYC Global Managing Partner Filip Jerolimov sends word that there has been a price drop on the 87-foot Sunseeker Mowana.

Mowana is a February 2024 delivery that is being advertised as “like new,” giving potential buyers an opportunity to own a recent-model launch from the popular builder without any wait time for new construction.

The yacht has the kinds of modern features that buyers would expect from this recent model year, including Sunseeker’s beach club with an X-Tend sun pad that can be adjusted to face aft at water level or raised forward into the cockpit. The setup creates all kinds of options for relaxation morning, noon and night at water level.

Accommodations aboard Mowana are for as many as nine guests in four staterooms. The salon has panoramic views through oversized windows. Up on the foredeck, there’s a private seating area with a table for cocktails or lunch. Much of the top deck is shaded by a hardtop that has louvers for letting in just the right amount of natural light, while an additional guest area down in the cockpit gives the owner and guests yet more space to spread out and find some privacy.

Systems include zero-speed stabilizers for guest comfort at anchor. According to IYC, the yacht has a cruising speed of 24 knots and a top hop of 28 knots, living up to Sunseeker’s reputation for getting owners from Point A to Point B faster than a good number of other yachts in the same size range.

At the shipyard, Sunseeker advertises general features aboard this model that include a galley owners can completely close off for crew to work without prying eyes, and access to the lower helm on the starboard side so owners can have privacy there if they want it.

Symmetry, a 2017 Sunseeker Predator 57, is an express cruiser with sporty lines, performance to match and is on the market by Gilman Yachts for $995,000.

Symmetry’s outside spaces are geared for serious fun in the sun. Yachting previously reported that “yes, there are the must-have sun pads fore and aft, as well as the hydraulic swim platform. Her platform is as much for swimming, diving and paddling as it is for essential tender launching and recovery. The garage will take a Williams 325 Turbojet, which is a fine size for up to four people and still relatively easy to launch and retrieve.”

Symmetry’s cockpit is shaded by the hardtop and guests can relax on the L-shaped settee to port with a teak folding table. Fire up the Kenyon Marine electric BBQ grill at the wet bar to starboard, which includes a sink,refrigerator and ice maker, to prep lunch before taking a swim or catching some rays.

“One defining feature is the drop-down door unit, which opens the cockpit and salon into one fantastic space. The Besenzoni door consists of substantial framing, but just two panels of glass. It’s a heavy assembly. The biggest one is so huge and, if clean, so clear that you could easily forget it’s there when it’s closed,” Yachting previously reported. Owners and guests will enjoy the open air environment created when opening the Besenzoni drop-down door along with the retractable sunroof. Guests can relax in the salon on a portside sofa dinette with folding table adjacent to the helm station. Oversize, mullion-free hull windows allow natural light to illuminate the salon and helm while providing ocean views. 

Symmetry’s helm station is outfitted with two upholstered helm seats that are comfortably within arm’s reach of the Sports steering wheel, throttles and joystick controls. Notable electronic and navigation equipment include:

  • Joystick controls (helm and stern) with Dynamic Positioning
  • Yacht Controller wireless remote-control joystick for engines and thruster
  • Simrad electronics package – dual SIMRAD 16-inch screens, depth, chart and radar
  • FLIR camera
  • Bow thruster
  • Hydraulic steering 
  • Autopilot
  • Trim tab controls
  • Analogue engine instrumentation 
  • VHF radio 
  • Electric speed log 
  • Rudder-angle indicator
  • Compass
  • Horn
  • Windscreen wipers and washers 
  • 13 kW Onan generator

Forward of the salon/helm and down a set of stairs is Symmetry’s galley to port with a breakfast nook across. Natural light flows from the windscreens above keeping the space bright and airy. Galley gear includes a ceramic, four-ring touch control cooktop, microwave and refrigerator/freezer. Dry goods and galley accessories are stowed in cupboards and drawers above and below the countertop.

After a long day on the water, owners and guests can retire to one of three staterooms. The owners’ stateroom is a full-beam affair with a king-size berth and ensuite head. Forward is the VIP stateroom with V-berth and ensuite head. Abaft and to starboard is the third guest stateroom with over/under berths and a shared head. Crew quarters are available, which could also be used for extra stowage, or extra guests.
