At least one 40m Sunseeker sold at last week’s Dubai International Boat Show

The SuperYachts Directory team was pleased to see that UK-based Sunseeker sold one of its flagship 40-metre super yachts to a Middle East buyer at last week’s Dubai International Boat Show, held at the Dubai International Marine Club, Mina Seyahi.

According to Sunseeker, the 40 Metre Yacht, which debuted at the PSP Southampton Boat Show in 2010, has been specifically designed for extended cruising. Anyone who recalls the impact Tanvas had at Southampton will understand its appeal.

RINA Unrestricted for blue water superyacht cruising

With its ‘sculptural side profile’ and ‘gentle cascade aft of the tri-deck design’ this super yacht has been designed and built for blue water cruising. As a logical development of Sunseeker’s popular 37 Metre Yacht, the vessel combines the best of the smaller boats with balconies and more exterior deck space for up to 12 guests and seven crew.

 

Checking the spec reveals 26-knot capability and up to 1500 nautical miles’ range – pretty much Greece to Gibraltar without refuelling. We also understand that as well as being constructed to RINA Pleasure and optional RINA Charter/MCA LY2 Unrestricted codes, this super yacht falls conveniently within the critical 350 gross tonne volume threshold – an important consideration for charterers.

Palatial super yacht style

Quite rightly, Sunseeker use the term palatial to describe their 40m superyacht. As at Southampton, we were impressed by its accommodation and the clever layout that allows crew to move discreetly about the boat. And of course, that lucky buyer will enjoy a huge choice of cabin configurations and optional extras.
