Sunseeker’s new 37-meter (121-foot)
tri-deck, presented at the London Boat Show in January, represents a significant
step up in size for the British company as it impacts the market with its first
true superyacht. After two years of development and significant investment in
new shipyard facilities, the 37 was designed and built to meet full MCA
compliance and RINA commercial accreditation and is the first in a new
semi-custom range of superyachts that will include 34- and 30-meter versions.
Accommodations on the 37 are luxurious, both in terms of size and appointment.
The full-beam master stateroom on the main deck has a king-size berth, study
area, separate toilet room and daytime seating area. Designed with the charter
market in mind, and depending on how the owner plans to use the yacht, there is
the option of two twins and two double guest cabins, or two twins and an aft
master stateroom on the lower deck. Up to eight crew can move freely around the
boat without intruding on guests. The captain’s cabin has direct access to the
wheelhouse on the upper deck. Advanced hydraulic systems, optional stabilizers,
computer-controlled generators and electrical systems make the 37 safe and
reliable for long-distance cruising. With a choice of three engine options,
the most powerful twin 12V4000 MTUs can drive the yacht at a maximum of 23 knots
with a range of 1,500 nautical miles at 10 to 12 knots. The angular exterior
styling of the 37 appealed to Eddie Jordan, the retired British Formula One
entrepreneur and owner of the first hull; five additional orders already are
placed.
