London Boat Show 2013 Review, Part I

We have just returned from this years London Boat Show, which showcased once again some of the latest yachts from Riva, Sunseeker, Fairline and Princess, as well as yachting gadgets, ribs, clothing and a fleet of the fastest supercars. We were extremely excited about seeing the new Sunseeker Predator 68 motor yacht, which certainly did not disappoint. Compared to the previous model, the 68 has improved on every level. The entertaining spaces are second to none, in particular an incredible aft deck, featuring some of the best sunbathing spaces that we've seen. Accommodation is provided in 3 cabins, including a master and a double VIP, which are designed in typical Sunseeker style. Sophistication and luxury are two words that go hand in hand with this yacht.

The brand new San Remo edition was also on show and was a truly remarkable yacht for its size. The large windows on the main deck and panoramic roof provided light throughout the whole yacht. Once again the decks were perfect for sunbathing with close family, as well as providing al fresco dining and great comfort. This yacht would not look out of place in even the most prestigious ports in the world so we expect great things from this yacht.

It was also great to see some Sunseeker classics on show, which showcased how the company has evolved in the past 30 years. We particularly liked the Mustang 20, which featured seating for 5 with great performance and style. The Mustang 20 could hit speeds of up to 50 knots from its Volvo V8 engine which is quite impressive from a yacht of its time.

New Releases at the London Boat Show 2013!

The London Boat Show 2013 is set to commence on Saturday 12th January at the ExCel Arena, London and is a great show to start the new season. The show does not only showcase some of the latest yacht releases from Prestige, Fairline and Sunseeker, but the very best yachting equipment and gadgets, as well as seminars from marine experts. With tickets priced from £10 and just £20 for a Champagne VIP ticket, the show is very well priced, especially when kids go free with a paying adult.

Two of the most exciting new releases come from the British manufacturer Sunseeker with the Predator 68 and San Remo motor yachts. The Predator 68 brings together all of the qualities from the previous model with its sleek lines, performance and comfort for 6 guests and 2 crew. Light has been maximised through the deck saloon, creating a superb lounge and all-weather dining area. Sunbathing fanatics will not be disappointed with great spaces to the aft and bow decks, as well as a hydraulic swim platform, making this yacht suitable to those who struggle with mobility. Top speeds are likely to be around 33 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The San Remo luxury motor yacht from Sunseeker is a great all rounder, combining all of the qualities of a day charter yacht with the space and elegance required for those longer charters. Expect to see typical Sunseeker styling with sweeping lines, a classic or contemporary interior and great build quality. At 52 ft in length, this Sunseeker sport cruiser is said to be a joy for both driver and passanger and we predict this will be one of the most popular motor boats in its category.
