Sunseeker International

Sunseeker Yachts has its origins at Poole Power Boats, a modest shipyard established by brothers Robert and John Braithwaite in the city of Dorset on the UK's southern coast.

The motor boat constructor rebranded Sunseeker Yachts in 1985 and teamed with racing yacht designer Don Shead, who created Sunseeker Yachts' trademark performance hull. Sunseeker, a premium performance yacht manufacturer, also used cutting-edge propulsion technologies such as surface drives and water jets.

Luxury yacht manufacturers began cooperating with famous yacht interior designer Ken Freivokh in the 1980s to update their boat interior decor. Sunseeker attended the superyacht industry in the mid-1990s with the Sunseeker Predator 80 and again in 2001 with the Sunseeker 105.

The Manhattan 58, designed by Ken Freivokh, was the first in the Sunseeker Manhattan series of flybridge motor yachts. Sunseeker's 105 Motor Yacht crossed the 100-foot threshold in 2000.

The first 50m aluminum Sunseeker 161, a sub-500GT superyacht under construction at the Ikon factory in the Netherlands, is scheduled for delivery in September 2022. Van Ossaanen Naval Architects created a Fast Displacement Hull Form for it.

Sunseekers, being a British symbol, frequently appear in James Bond films. The most memorable appearance, though, was in the 2006 film Casino Royale, when a completely restored vintage Sunseeker Sovereign 17 was hired to transport Daniel Craig to a meeting.
