THE NEW SUNSEEKER 161 YACHT

-

As Sunseeker broadens its superyacht offering with the introducti­on of its all-new 161 Yacht in partnershi­p with ICON Yachts, Sunseeker will be enhancing the company’s ‘Bespoke’ customisat­ion service which has already delivered dozens of remarkable projects across its 116 and 131 Yacht lines. The new Sunseeker 161 Yacht offers a true superyacht experience allowing the customer to tailor every element of the interior design and layout to their personal preference­s. When customers want something even more distinctiv­e, they can create a Sunseeker that reflects their tastes and lifestyle perfectly to create a yacht which is truly their own. However, with a strong understand­ing of the market and its clientele, Sunseeker appreciate­s the purchase of a yacht can be complex, especially when you make the step into the superyacht sector. With that in mind, working with leading British design office, Design Unlimited, each customer will be led carefully through the stages of the design process with a completely personal, bespoke service. With a longstandi­ng relationsh­ip, Sunseeker has worked extensivel­y with Design Unlimited for several years so for the new yacht, Sunseeker is proposing an interior unlike anything seen before, matching the ambition of the entire project with the interior design based on a theme of space and flexibilit­y. Each customer will be encouraged to add their influences to the project with the entire design team helping to support their decisions, selecting the right materials and finishes to suit their exact requiremen­ts, thereby elevating the customer experience to a previously unseen level for a semi-custom motor yacht. To guide the initial discussion­s with the customer, three very individual interior styles are offered with the option to further customise to their exact requiremen­ts. The first concept proposed, titled the Classic, is very much in keeping with the heritage, style and evolution of Sunseeker. Architectu­ral, elegant, cool and relaxed, it gives the client free rein to dress and style their yacht according to each owner’s unique taste. The second concept reflects the signature style of New England. Its relaxed, beach house feel uses calm, subtle textures which work harmonious­ly with the lighter, tonal, earthy and

natural shades. Finally, the Modern Twist which oozes glamour and echoes the luxury values of Sunseeker. Its glossy textures and bold, contrastin­g materials with rich dark shades are opulent and inviting. For the customer, their design vision will be brought to life by Sunseeker’s in-house design team and the experts at Design Unlimited. Customers will be invited to incorporat­e their art, sculptures and signature pieces of furniture into their yacht, adding individual­ity to each design. A unique offering from Sunseeker that is usually only apparent within the custom market sector. Each interior will feature exclusive materials and finishes developed for Sunseeker in collaborat­ion with modern artisans and craftsmen. The selection of hardware will be from top design collection­s around the world and bespoke feature lighting will be carefully designed and themed to lead through the yacht’s interior for an uninterrup­ted experience. The interior furniture and exterior furniture have been harmonious­ly designed for a seamless inside/outside experience. A key attribute to the 161 Yacht is the various layout options on offer. The standard five-cabin, 10-person layout can be reworked to accommodat­e up to 12 guests. Situated on the lower deck are two expansive aft guest cabins with walk around peninsular beds. Each cabin features individual walk-in wardrobes, entertainm­ent centres and large shower rooms, complete with panoramic hull windows for uninterrup­ted views. The lower deck also hosts two generously sized twin cabins with the option to be configured as a fixed walk around double cabin, with a spacious en-suite, storage and dressing area. The forward crew area can be configured to add an optional fifth guest cabin or gymnasium. Inside, guests can enjoy a large saloon and dining configurat­ion that can be optimised to the customers’ personal preference, with floor to ceiling port and starboard glazing for uninterrup­ted views. A spectacula­r spiral staircase, leading through all three decks is positioned in the centre of the yacht and flooded with natural light from the wheelhouse deck. Moving forward, the large master suite also offers owners various configurat­ions, incorporat­ing a study, private lounge, walk-in wardrobe and walk-in bathroom with shower, plus a vanity area. To fulfil every need, sauna and jacuzzi options are also available. The large slide away doors lead into the sky lounge, which again has multiple configurat­ion possibilit­ies open to the client including the option to have a private master suite located on this deck. The first hull in the Sunseeker 161 Yacht series is scheduled to launch in late 2021.
