The allure of the Sunseeker Predator 75 has crossed the Atlantic, making a captivating debut at the prestigious Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. This latest incarnation of the renowned Sunseeker Predator line boasts an enhanced aesthetic, graced with a striking Shadow Grey Gelcoat and exquisite Jet Black accents adorning its exterior. The coupé-style hardtop, coamings, and air intakes are elegantly finished with LSA black paint, elevating the vessel’s already commanding silhouette. Under the night sky, dual-colour blue and white Lumishore underwater lighting, combined with 22 additional LED side deck lights, transforms the Predator 75 into a mesmerising nocturnal spectacle.

Equipped with twin MAN V12-1900 engines, the Predator 75 is a performance yacht of distinction, designed for extended journeys on the open water. This exciting new model attains remarkable top speeds of 40 knots, thanks to its hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, delivering an exceptionally smooth on-water experience, whether anchoring or cruising at speed.

For precise docking and manoeuvring, a second station within the aft cockpit, located on the port side, houses engine throttles, stop/start controls, and thruster management. This innovative arrangement enhances visibility, ensuring safer and more efficient marina navigation.

The Predator 75 is purpose-built for sophisticated entertainment. The cockpit is a haven of features designed for socialising and enjoyment. A sleek carbon fibre table takes center stage, featuring a folding top supported by polished stainless steel synchronised electric legs, creating an inviting focal point for up to eight guests. The onboard entertainment experience is elevated by four Sonance Extreme Speakers and a Sonos Amp, delivering immersive sound quality that envelops the space. A convenient electric BBQ grill and an 80-litre refrigerator in the cockpit offer the ultimate outdoor dining experience, where guests can savour freshly grilled delicacies and cool drinks in luxurious surroundings.

“Sunseeker showcases a strong product line-up at this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The Predator 75, with an exceptional specification, is a stand out yacht in the Sunseeker fleet. This new model will experience a USA debut alongside the Ocean 182 and we are very excited to present the latest performance models to clients in the United States.”

Moving to the foredeck, an inviting social space centers around a table with a canopy and comfortable seating. Forward, the sunpad beckons with folding backrests and plush sunbathing cushions. Dual Sonance Extreme Speakers and two large drawer refrigerators are seamlessly integrated under the seating for added convenience.

Inside the expansive saloon, comfort and functionality converge effortlessly. The cockpit door elegantly slides to starboard, while the door and window descend beneath the seating, seamlessly connecting the cockpit with the saloon. Plush seating complements a well-designed storage unit on the port side, complete with an integrated mini-bar refrigerator. The entertainment centrepiece is a magnificent 55-inch UHD Smart 4K television equipped with the Apple TV app and Airplay 2, promising a world of captivating content. Enhanced by an integrated surround sound system, the audio experience is truly immersive. Convenient audio zoning is easily accessed through a tablet pre-loaded with the Sonos App.

The sophisticated helm console features a state-of-the-art steer-by-wire autopilot system for precise navigation, accompanied by dual 16-inch Garmin Chartplotter displays offering comprehensive real-time navigational data. The Sunseeker Cm8 power management and boat monitoring system ensures seamless control over onboard systems, providing convenience and peace of mind. Electric Besenzoni helm seats offer ergonomic comfort for extended periods at the helm, while dimmable overhead lighting sets the perfect ambience for cruising.

The lower galley is fully equipped with integrated Miele appliances, including a full-height refrigerator and freezer, slimline dishwasher, and a 33-bottle wine cooler. The connected breakfast bar features a harmonious blend of quartz worktops and a carbon fibre breakfast table top, complemented by neutral soft furnishings and meticulously detailed bulkheads with inset stainless steel and symmetrical lighting accents. The lower saloon also features an HD television and Sonos sound bar. The lower deck provides sleeping accommodations for up to eight guests and two crew members across three well-appointed guest cabins. The full-beam owner’s cabin boasts a dressing table with ample storage, an en suite bathroom, and a walk-in wardrobe.

To ensure comfort in tropical climates, the advanced tropical air conditioning package delivers exceptional cooling performance, efficiently reducing indoor temperatures and creating a refreshing interior oasis, making it the ideal solution for staying cool and relaxed in the Florida heat.
