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.

The post This Sunseeker Just Had a $250,000 Price Drop appeared first on Yachting.

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.

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.”

Previously, the asking price for this yacht was about $8.4 million. Now, it’s about $7.7 million, based on conversion rates from pounds sterling.

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. 

Is this Sunseeker a popular model for owners to offer on the charter market? Yes, according to the team at IYC. They call Mowana “an excellent opportunity for owners looking to generate revenue.”

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. 

Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS950 diesels, Symmetry can spool up to 34 knots and comfortable cruise the coastline at 26 knots.

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. 

Where is Symmetry located? The yacht is currently lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Aquila 47 Molokai: Agile Angling Platform

What We Said: “Versatility is at the heart of the 47 Molokai. It’s a fishing-focused, fast power cat with overnight accommodations.”

Feature-Filled: The boat’s 360-degree fishability is desirable for stand-up anglers ready to go toe-to-toe with a formidable foe. Forty-plus rod holders ensure that a rod for every fishing scenario is at the ready. Twin 42.5-gallon transom livewells, two 90-gallon in-deck fish boxes and a bait-and-tackle rigging station aid in the fishing mission. Whether it’s drifting over wrecks and reefs for bottomfish, flying kites for sailfish or trolling the deep for marlin, the 47 Molokai plays all piscatorial positions well. Twin 600 hp or quad 400 hp outboards let owners dial in the desired performance.

Final Thoughts: Stable is what one feels when stepping aboard the 47 Molokai, helped in part by its 14-foot-7-inch beam. Supporting the drag-reducing, efficiency-enhancing, double-step hull form is a robust build, including a vacuum-infused hull, deck and cockpit sole. Primary forward and aft bulkheads are carbon fiber, while the secondary bulkheads are vinylester-resin-infused. A cabin with a queen-size berth enables weekend excursions. The Aquila 47 Molokai offers the angling advantages of a center-console as well as the element-free amenities of a sport-fish boat.

Azimut Yachts Seadeck 6: Eco-Conscious Cruiser

What We Said: “The Seadeck concept has a back-to-nature philosophy that includes ethically sourced and recycled materials and a cleaner, softer aesthetic with the sea as the focus.”

The Path to Sustainability: The Azimut Seadeck 6 has cork decks. It can run hotel loads—including the Seakeeper gyrostabilizer—at anchor for up to four hours during the day and eight hours at night thanks to a series of Torqeedo batteries and solar panels. The yacht also contains material from up to 15,000 recycled plastic bottles in its build, like the moquette carpeting belowdecks. Additionally, carbon fiber is used in strategic areas to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, which creates a lighter, efficient yacht. This express cruiser, however, does not sacrifice form, function or luxury. Its foldout cockpit sections increase deck space, and a hydraulic swim platform and steps enable seamless water access. Add in a luxe interior with sole-to-ceiling glass, light-tone furnishings, lacquers and a three-stateroom layout, and the Seadeck 6 ticks off a lot of boxes for owners.

Final Thoughts: A yacht can’t be all things to everyone, but the Azimut Yachts Seadeck 6 pushes the go-greener envelope for those seeking a vessel with a forward-thinking yet chic and luxurious design, and an eco-friendlier build.

Ferretti Yachts Infynito 90: Inside Meets Outside

What We Said: “Most striking is the Infynito 90’s partially enclosed foredeck, which Ferretti refers to as an all-seasons terrace. It’s a real wow feature, fully protected from above by a roof that stretches from the forward-raked bridge-deck windows to the ultra-high stem. The foredeck is open to the sides, with a view forward via a window.”

It’s Up to You: The all-seasons terrace has several layout options, including a hot tub with seating, a bar with six stools, and an L-shaped sofa with a table, to name a few. The standard accommodations are belowdecks with a three- or four-stateroom arrangement, but owners can choose a main-deck stateroom too. Additionally, the motoryacht’s sky lounge can have an open plan, with the helm area separated via bulkheads and a sliding door for crew privacy. Twin 1,550 hp and 1,800 hp MAN diesels are available. With the larger engines, the Infynito 90 can make an average top hop of 23 knots with an easy cruise speed of 15 to 17 knots. At a leisurely 10-knot jog, range is north of 2,000 nautical miles.

Final Thoughts: The Ferretti Yachts Infynito 90 represents a bold step in yacht design as it reimagines onboard spaces. It turns traditional concepts upside down to create something brand-new and multifunctional, and it’s all done with a high level of fit-and-finish.

Horizon Yachts FD110 Trideck: Going Long

What We Said: “Horizon Yachts’ Fast-Displacement series, penned by designer Cor D. Rover, is notable for its broad shoulders and high freeboard. These yachts carry a measurable beam forward to enhance interior and exterior volume, with a wave-splitting bow design and admirable performance across a wide spectrum of speeds.”

Inside Matters: The FD110 Trideck we got aboard had a warm, washed wenge wood with oak and walnut accents in the interior. A seemingly infinite number of other woods are available. Horizon offers owners a high level of customization. Referencing the volume created by the yacht’s design, the salon accommodates an 87-inch flat-screen TV with room to spare, and there are sole-to-ceiling windows around the superstructure. Additionally, the FD110 Trideck’s galley has room for eight fridge and freezer drawers, plus a full-height refrigerator. There is an on-deck owners’ stateroom with a king-size berth, and four guests staterooms belowdecks including three VIPs (two amidships, one forward).

Final Thoughts: For extended cruising, the Horizon FD110 Trideck is powered with twin 1,900 hp Caterpillar C32A diesels. At 8 knots, the yacht has a 3,000-nautical-mile range. At 16 knots, range is around 600 nm. We saw a top speed of 18.6 knots while aboard.

Horizon PC68: Room to Roam

What We Said: “Horizon Power Catamarans has done a lot to optimize the space that this yacht’s 24-foot-6-inch beam affords. Dismiss the thinking that lower staterooms on a multihull yacht are small and constricted. The builder performed some design magic and created four spacious dwellings. In the starboard hull, the master stateroom has a private entrance with a walk-around king-size berth athwartships in the peak, giving the owner an exterior view via a frameless hullside window. The cockpit has a 9-foot-long high-gloss wood table that seats eight.”

Ranging Far and Wide: In addition to the spaciousness created by the wide footprint, multihull yachts offer a different kind of ride than their monohull brethren. On the PC68, sharp hull entries make head seas seem gentle, while a Humphree active stabilization system reduces roll. Powered by twin 850 hp MAN i6 diesel engines matched with five-blade Veem props, the yacht’s range is more than 1,400 nautical miles at 10 knots. At a cruising speed of 19 knots, it’s possible to travel more than 600 nm between refueling stops.

Final Thoughts: With a Portuguese deck accessible through the flybridge forward door as well as a shoal-friendly 5-foot-4-inch draft and the range to travel far and wide, the PC68 is a multifaceted multihull.

Maritimo M60: A Classic Reimagined

What We Said: “To understand how the Maritimo M60 performs, you must know that it comes from Australia’s Gold Coast, north of Sydney. Local Maritimo owners do not have a protected Intracoastal Waterway. They cruise with few harbors in which to hide. That coast, facing the Pacific Ocean, endures waves that build across thousands of nautical miles of open ocean.”

Based on Owner Input: When Maritimo decided to update its original 60-foot motoryacht, the builder sought feedback from its global network of owners. The result is the M60 Flybridge Motor Yacht. Based on owners’ input, the builder focused on maximizing space in the cockpit and platform areas, offering versatile options for entertaining, adventure and relaxation. This yacht also has an aft galley, which socially connects the exterior and interior dining areas.

Final Thoughts: Thanks to its variable-deadrise hull with a deep keel, sharp bow entry and flattened progression aft, the M60 excels in offshore cruising efficiency, comfort and stability. Maritimo also stayed with conventional shaft drives for this vessel. Its 1,200-gallon fuel capacity and three options for power—standard twin 800 hp Volvo Penta D13 or optional 1,000 hp Volvo Penta or 1,150 hp Scania engines—bring distant ports of call within easier reach.

Ocean Alexander 35 Puro: Defining Italian Style

What We Said: “The Ocean Alexander 35P is the first model in the builder’s Puro series, which is being offered in addition to the Revolution, Explorer and Legend series. The builder says the idea behind Puro is to offer yachts for the global marketplace, instead of taking stylized cues from niche geographical markets. Size-wise, the 35 Puro is a 113-foot yacht with a beam of more than 25 feet and a gross tonnage of 273.”

Style With Spirit: Puro in Italian translates as “pure,” yet it can also mean clear or undisputed; all are appropriate to describe the styling of this Ocean Alexander motoryacht, which is produced in collaboration with Italian yacht designer Giorgio Cassetta and naval architect Andrea Agrusta. Within the notable, stylish exterior lines, the 35P has accommodations for 10 guests. The master stateroom is situated on the main deck forward and includes seating areas to port and starboard. The four guest staterooms are on the lower deck, with two VIPs and two twin-berth setups. On the main deck, there’s a conventional layout with a salon and formal dining area.

Final Thoughts: With the 35 Puro, Ocean Alexander has retained the brand DNA that has made it successful while still offering a new look and feel for the next generation of cruising enthusiasts.

Princess Yachts Y95: Class-Leading Flagship

What We Said “The Y95 is the flagship of Princess Yachts’ four-model Y Class of open-flybridge designs. The flybridge is set up for driving and entertaining in comfort. There are twin adjustable helm seats, along with a forward-facing L-shaped seating area for guests. A bar on the flybridge includes a sink, an electric barbecue, a hob and a drawer refrigerator. The dining table up top seats 10 people. Additional dining space is on the main deck.”

The Flybridge Experience: With all respect to climate-controlled, fully enclosed helm vessels, there’s something visceral about enjoying a luxury yacht from an open flybridge. It might be the expansive views of the seas, a subconscious longing to relive the enjoyment of smaller open vessels more associated with youth, or the simple pleasure of feeling the wind and sun while underway. Whatever the reason, the attraction is undeniable.

Final Thoughts: With more than 80 percent of each vessel constructed at its 1.1-million-square-foot facility in Plymouth, United Kingdom, Princess ensures excellent quality control across its entire line. Performance is another strong suit. With an efficient hull form and wave-piercing bow, the Y95 reaches speeds of up to 23 knots with its standard 2,000 hp MAN V12-2000 engines, according to the builder.

Riva 82 Diva: Tradition Meets Technology

What We Said: “Flybridge motoryachts of this volume do not get any more elegant. Mauro Micheli and his team at Officina Italiana Design—which has penned every new Riva for about three decades—tell me their brief this time was to create a modern flybridge yacht that’s also sporty and streamlined. And haven’t they just? The 82 Diva’s proportions are precise, and it is the first Riva with fold-down quarter platforms that turn the cockpit and hydraulic swim platform into a beach club. The fold-down platforms add more than 10 feet to the almost 20-foot beam.”

Sleek and Stylish: The Riva’s polished yet sinewy lines hint at the yacht’s performance characteristics. The 82 Diva is based on a new hull form and powered by standard twin 1,800 hp MAN V-12 diesels. The builder promises a top speed of around 29 knots and a 26-knot fast cruise, at which the range should be about 300 nautical miles with the yacht’s 1,700 gallons of fuel. A pair of 1,900 hp MANs are an option for owners who desire a bit more velocity.

Final Thoughts: For a planing design with big, powerful engines, the 82 Diva is fundamentally a quiet yacht. At cruising speeds, the sound level in the owner’s stateroom is just 65 decibels, about the same as laughter or normal conversation. It’s only 67 decibels with the yacht at top speed.

Riviera 585 SUV: All-in-One

What We Said: “The short and very sweet story of the Riviera 585 SUV is that it blends spirited 32-plus-knot performance with a luxurious alfresco lifestyle. From the raised, enclosable alfresco deck overlooking the cockpit to the forward helm, everything is on a single level, yet headroom in the four staterooms belowdecks is more than 6 feet, 5 inches. That is an admirable engineering feat.”

Sport Utility Vessel: This Riviera is aimed squarely at those who want some of everything in their boating experiences. Port and starboard transom doors open to the teak cockpit, making it a full-on water-sports entertainment zone. A console partially shielded by the overhanging roof combines an outdoor grilling area with a bait-prep station that has tackle stowage for those who’d also like to do a bit of fishing during their time on the water. Inside, the layout with a master, VIP and guest staterooms plus optional crew quarters lends itself well to extended cruising with family or friends, with or without professional crew aboard.

Final Thoughts: An Australian boatbuilder, Riviera Yachts has a reputation for building robust boats, with hand-laid fiberglass construction and solid glass bottoms. The deep-V hull is built to handle rough sea conditions, lending plenty of confidence to skippers.

Sanlorenzo 57Steel: Ocean-Crossing Elegance

What We Said: “Visually, Sanlorenzo’s 57Steel makes quite a statement. With exterior design and space planning by Zuccon International Project in Rome, this model has a nominal volume of 1,050 gross tons. Forward-raked bridge windows give the 57Steel a touch of go-anywhere styling, but it’s still a modern motoryacht with hybrid hull architecture—a modestly raked stem, square stem root, midlength fluted bow bulb, spray rails and flaring forward, and twin fin stabilizers and rudders.”

Bonus Space: Down at water level, with the yacht’s side platforms out, the beach-club real estate adds up to almost 1,000 square feet for guest relaxation and fun with the water toys. Add the gym next door, which includes a hammam, sauna and day head, and the whole area becomes one of the best wellness spaces of its kind on a yacht with a length overall less than 200 feet.

Final Thoughts: Piero Lissoni’s design studio in Milan created this yacht’s contemporary interior ambience. The decor focuses on oak veneers, soft whites and creams in a combination that should appeal to charter guests along with the yacht’s owners. This is a less-is-more approach to design rather than a minimalist one—and fun is still included. The main salon has a cocktail-bar entrance to its lounge and dining areas.

Sunseeker 100: Big-Time Style

What We Said “Sunseeker offers an upper helm position, and wing or stern stations. With or without that second helm, the upper deck’s layout is asymmetrical. In a first for the yacht builder, the upper deck connects via sloping side decks to the forward terrace’s booth seating and sun pads; farther forward, a foredeck tucks deep into the bow. The foredeck is accessed via a short set of steps to port, while a companionway connects aft from the terrace to the portside deck. The after end of the flybridge is open to a degree of owner interpretation.”

Flexible Stateroom Layout: The Sunseeker 100’s accommodations should work for owners and guests, as well as different kinds of charter parties. In addition to the main-deck master, this yacht has four en suite staterooms for as many as 10 guests belowdecks. Two staterooms amidships have king berths, while the other two are forward with berths that can be configured as twins or doubles. They can also have Pullman berths.

A Fun Ride: Our writer found that turns were pretty prompt, given the vessel’s half-load bulk of around 220,000 pounds. With the fins and trim system active, the bow stayed up between 3 to 4 degrees, with roll and pitch nicely in check. Overall, the ride was remarkably comfortable and surprisingly quiet, even at top speed.

Two Oceans 555: Primo Power Catamaran

What We Said: “Stability was among many characteristics that left me impressed with the Two Oceans 555, the company’s first offering in the United States. The builder was founded in 1989 and constructs its boats in Cape Town, South Africa, with power and sail models from 23 to 160 feet length overall. Two Oceans also builds offshore rescue craft, which explains some of the other characteristics I saw after taking a turn at the helm of the Two Oceans 555. For instance, I was startled to learn that this power cat gets about 1 nautical mile per gallon at 10 knots. With 750 gallons of fuel, that’s a lot farther than most yachtsmen will ever want to run in a single hop.”

Off-Grid Package: This power cat can be ordered with twin 9 kW Integrel Solutions generators coupled to the prop shafts with flex power takeoffs. Combined with the solar panels forward of the flybridge helm, this arrangement feeds a bank of Victron Energy lithium-phosphate batteries totaling 26,000 watts, providing more than 19 hours of silent running time for all air-conditioning, ship and galley needs.

Final Thoughts: The Two Oceans 555 has the interior and exterior real estate of a monohull nearly double its size. The builder made good use of that space, creating a yacht that’s ready for comfortable long-distance cruising.

wallywhy 150: 78 Feet, 8 Inches of Innovation

What We Said: “The wallywhy150 is a two-and-a-half-deck design with around 150 gross tons—a spec we don’t often see with yachts this length, but, again, Wally likes to do things differently. The ‘why’ bit of wallywhy is an acronym for Wally Hybrid Yachts, which has nothing to do with hybrid propulsion, but rather references hulls that are optimized for a range of displacement and semi-displacement cruising speeds.”

Outdoor Living: There are two principal zones on the 150: the cockpit and the upper deck aft. The cockpit, occupying two levels, has its forward half at the same level as the after end of the main salon, which is lower than aboard more-conventional yacht designs. The rest of the cockpit is down a step. It has an island sofa amidships with a flippable backrest, so guests can laze facing forward or aft. The upper deck aft serves as a sun deck with partial protection from a mostly carbon-fiber hardtop. It’s a sizable space, whether used for family fun or as a party venue.

Final Thoughts: Standard power is triple 900 hp Volvo Penta D13s and IPS1200 pod drives, which should deliver a top-end speed of around 21 knots. With the optional triple 1,000 hp D13s with IPS1350s, Hull No. 1 hit 22.9 knots one way and 22.6 knots on a reciprocal heading. Wally quotes a 23-knot speed at half-load.
