I was actually at the Southampton boat show in September for 4 days from up north. It's always a pleasure to visit the hospitality stand of Sunseeker. The 100 is yet another super bit of marine design produced by Sunseeker. A fabulous yatch I managed to view. Keep up the good work lads at Poole and all the sales team. 🏴🐬
The Sunseeker 100 has so many amazing design features! The owners cabin has incredible views and with the bow deck, wow! Connecting all the decks together by stairs works well. The crew area is very respectable. The redesigned owners bathroom entrance through the closet allows for that wonderful corner sofa. What a yacht!
An absolutely beautiful Boat. That would've been an amazing experience.
What an adventure for you! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you, it wasn’t exactly a chore to make 😊
@@hugoandreae3785 Thanks Hugo, I'm loving your videos.
Great vid, my dad always bought your magazine. He never owned a yacht, but he loved holidays on them. Now I'm drawn to them, keep up the great work
Cant wait for Aquaholic to do this one. Love the design and the layout seem to be genious
Not sure I would call the sea state choppy , but nice to see the boat at night
It wasn’t choppy during the sea trials section in daylight but I can assure you it was pretty lumpy during those dark sequences
I didn't see rough waters 😂
Since it wasn't mentioned, fuel consumption at 17.5 kn was 0.18 mpg 😯 At top speed it was 0.16 mpg... or 6 gallons per mile!
That's right good fule econmy
Great video Hugo!
Eye watering fuel burns above 10 knots, but I guess if you can afford to buy it it’s not so scary!
Looked very comfortable in the swells too.
Thanks Nic, that is the reality of owning a big boat and why they mostly cruise everywhere at 10-12 knots
That's right boats ysght soo exove fule dcmoy don't mater
'Thats the way to travel'. I agree😅
There are standard yachts (
And for most a lottery win.I wonder if it could be single-handedly launched comfortably using a Yacht controller. Dan's Boat Life has done it on a 65 foot Yacht (Princess S65) Might need some wing mirrors for the pilot house though, or some side mounted cameras shown on a big screen, as visibility looks a bit limited.
@@timk3939 mate I wouldn't want to be short-handed or inexperienced on this, but that's - strangely - the law. Love Dan and there's a Chicago boat dealer who delivers and does a lot of 65 ish foot single handed (Elevate Yachts) and yeah this is way too large for that... except... if you have Skyhook (DPS, Dynamic Positioning System) then in theory you can single handed do it. But that would be madness. And don't forget any yacht can have a remote YachtMaster so it's not like you're fixed to a position if you don't want to be.
What is your point?
@@kokomo9764 I get annoyed by imprecision in an otherwise precise industry.
Hugo knows better.
Where did you find your statutary definitions? I can only find a requirement for yachts longer than 24m to embark a qualified skipper. The term 'superyacht' appears to be in the gift of the describer.
Very interesting review thank you very much motorboat and yachting
Great video! Love to see more like this please
Thanks Patrick, will do my best
Another great video.
Loved this.
Thank you
Шикарная яхта. У меня на рабочем столе уже 2 года, каждый день на нее смотрю.
Classification
Lloyd's Register SSC Is this the classification of the Sunseeker 100 Ft Yacht? A bit of a sea state, More like a mill pond out there!
A bling boat is nothing, without the big diamond 💎 onboard. Where's the diamond party?!?
Love
Did they ever build a 100 with the helm on the fly and do they have a video of it?
Great video Hugo. Would have been cool to see you drift that yacht. Maybe trail brakes it a d kick the back end around and chuck her into a swell. Just kidding. That would be ridiculous. I understand she is quite fast and luxurious, but if we look at the original king of speedy large yachts, Heesen, I think the yachts are way quieter. Ditto that for ISA, and AB, Mangusta and to some extent, Pershing, but the noise from them was swell wash and hull slap. I get you're going at a great speed, however the noise levels would be something I would want diminished so maybe that wouldn't be the yacht for me. Oh well. Can't buy one anyways. Lol.
For a large production GRP yacht I thought the noise levels were very good in the areas that really mattered. It’s very rare that you would be running at planing speed with guests in their cabins
How are you able to control both engines only using the starboard throttle?
Question - Not a boater, but would love to be able to afford it. You only seem to be pushing 1 throttle forward. Is that correct? Can the Sunseeker 100 run for long periods of time at displacement speed on 1 engine? Does that then double the range/distance it can travel?
My 401k manager is going to have a stroke when I tell him where the money is going.
Did i hear 800 liters per hour .....🤔🙄??
Kinda scary feel cruising at night?
11mil pound = 12.8mil euro 14mil usd that's a lot of money
You don't Drive a boat you pilot a boat
They dont call them sunsqueeker for nothing! A brand new yacht wood squeeking🧐!! Ill go princess thanks very much! God bless all and happy sailing all 🙏❤🛥⚓
As a retired engineer and shipbuilder, big stuff. Did you know Sunseeker, Princess and Fairline great British built boats have the same DNA! ⛵🙊
@@amiliogarcia no I did not but the woodwork department must use better glue and joinery! I worked as a furniture builder for a long time and I no how woodwork can be done cheaply and high quality with same dna(design) ! I have a 7.3meter fishing sports boat! You can build a boat as well same dna(design) cheaply or quality! So I'll take princess thank You very much! You get what you pay for pay for! Don't tell me sunseeker and princess yachts are adzactly the same how there built down to the finer details like quality joinery! Thats absurd they are not the same boat under 3 names! You should no that!! God bless all and happy sailing all 🙏❤🛥⚓
@@amiliogarcia and azimut are no better you want proof type aquaholics azimut 72fly and listen when Nick walks down the stairs to lower level ON A BRAND NEW YACHT at boat show! Junk! And the sunseeker in this video was in flat seas doing a full turn and it hit the ripples of it own wake and made the walls squee! How would it be in some solid seas! Again junk! In 10 years time it will be embarrassing to take friends out to a boat squeezing like crazy and guests worried is this safe! Junk absolute junk! Get on a riva pershing Ferritti and some other European and even some u.s quality built machines you will get the idea!
Stick to the day Job! When I mentioned the same DNA I meant the hull etc not the wood work finishes! Clearly your niether a professional engineer or shipbuilder, but a craft person. 👍
Is the nanny state in UK that out of control grown men have to wear life preservers on a 100 foot yacht?
I was looking forward to seeing all of the interiors as you said. Disappointing 🤨
Omg really? He didn’t call the video a tour, he said going for nighttime trip.
"WE ARE NOT GOING TO JUST SHOW YOU ALL AROUND THE INTERIOR BUT TAKE IT ON A SEA TRIAL" :13 IN THE VIDEO. Maybe you can try hard and pay attention to his words.@@timbutler3213
800 litres per hour......Greta is not amused.
Wrong
No waves
Incredible boat . Am I right in thinking that at 10 knots it has a 4000 NM range ? Thats very impressive !!
At 10 knots it has a 1,400nm range!
LOL thanks Hugo . Early morning maths was never my strong point!! still a great boat! @@hugoandreae3785
WHY ARE YOU ASKING US????, MOST HERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ON A BOAT AND WE WOULD NOT BE ASKING THAT QUESTION ANYWAY??. BLOCK CHANNEL.
So women can't be captains???
Sheesh, the unconscious bias…
