It is now the envy of all others, the tri-deck 155 Yacht is Sunseeker’s new flagship. Launched in spring 2014, the 155 Yacht is the largest and most advanced yacht Sunseeker has ever produced. Accommodating up to 12 guests and 10 crew in sublime surroundings, the 155 Yacht has both style and space in abundance. Ideally suited for long distance cruising, the latest generation of hull design allows the 155 to effortlessly reach the previously unreachable. A sublime example of design and engineering, every detail, feature and interior space is nothing short of extraordinary.

Sunseeker International marked the official British launch of its new flagship tri-deck 155 Yacht on Monday 24 March 2014, with the help of its new owner, Formula 1’s Eddie Jordan. Following months of hard work from the Sunseeker team, the British launch of the stunning superyacht was held in Poole with the Formula 1 star in attendance alongside Sunseeker International’s Group President, Robert Braithwaite. It was a double celebration on the day as not only were the team celebrating the launch of the yacht, but also the commissioning of the second 155 Yacht following a sale in Dubai. 

As the biggest project ever undertaken by the British based luxury yacht manufacturer, the official launch was a monumental day for Sunseeker. 

With the design concept conceived in the UK, and the build and testing phase taking place in Poole, it was very apt that the 155 Yacht was officially launched in Poole too. Commissioned by the Jordan Family Trust, the first 155 Yacht has been the talk of the town since it was first announced. 

 

 

 

What’s more, the bespoke element of this spectacular yacht has allowed Eddie to stamp his marque on it and create something truly unique to him.  With the 155 Yacht, Sunseeker has taken the concept of series building with personal customisation one step further with a modular build methodology which enables the owners to have direct input not only into the interior design and layout but the actual superstructure of the yacht. It also boasts impressive accommodation for up to 12 guests in ultimate style and luxury, while the forward lower deck area can accommodate up to 10 crew, with a separate captain’s cabin. 

 Beyond the impressive statistics, it is the contemporary interior and exterior design which truly makes the 155 Yacht stand out from the crowd. Hull number one has a completely painted exterior, featuring a stunning ice blue hull. While the unique interior features an exclusive design palette which highlights gray, blue, green and an overall chic aqua feel. The accommodation on the 155 Yacht is equally as stunning, with two VIP cabins on the main deck which feature ceiling to floor glass windows creating a dramatic feeling of light and space, as well as spectacular views.

 The first 155 Yacht also includes a formal dining area with side patio doors, balconies for uninterrupted sea views whilst dining and a fully equipped commercial galley. While the spacious and stylish private accommodation is clearly one of the most appealing features of Sunseeker’s flagship yacht, it is the expanse of entertainment space which makes it truly stand out. 

 

 

 

 

 

The upper deck alone features a huge sky lounge which can be dedicated to private entertainment. Such innovative design is extremely intricate and the attention to detail in the 155 Yacht is second to none. The team at Poole have worked closely with Eddie Jordan, to ensure his personality is reflected in the design but have also made sure that the trademark Sunseeker standards are evident throughout. With that in mind the 155 Yacht has undergone rigorous testing at the Sunseeker shipyard facility in Poole and in-depth sea trials to ensure that these standards are upheld.

Robert Braithwaite, Group President at Sunseeker International, commented: “We were incredibly proud to launch the 155 Yacht here in Poole with Mr Jordan. The 155 Yacht is a truly iconic British yacht. 

From drawing board through to testing, the yacht was designed and built in Poole, so it is really British through and through and the fact the launch took place in Poole made it all the more special.

Construction of the second Sunseeker 155 Yacht is underway as the team at Sunseeker International’s shipyard in Poole laid the keel of the hull. 

Following on from the success of the first 155 Yacht Blush, this is the first stage in the build of the impressive second vessel. 

A significant development in the construction of the 155 Yacht, the laying of the keel was overseen by client representatives and also by Sunseeker International’s Founder and Group President, Robert Braithwaite.

Similar to the owner of the first 155 Yacht, the client is taking full advantage of the bespoke element of this stunning vessel, so there will be distinct differences between the two. The latest 155 Yacht will boast breath-taking ‘feature glass’ running from floor to ceiling in both the master stateroom and the two double guest cabins, alongside many other bespoke features which can be found in every area of this 

fabulous vessel. 

The latest 155 Yacht will also be powered by the more powerful Twin 16V MTU’s. What’s more, the client is currently working with the Sunseeker team to finalise the details of the interior design to ensure the yacht is unique to them and reflects their personality. The latest Sunseeker 155 Yacht is scheduled for completion in early 2016.
