Earlier this month, luxury yacht purveyor Sunseeker joined forces with Brit automaker Aston Martin and yacht dealer Nextwave to host a truly special showcase at Sai Kung’s Marina Cove. The weekend-long event saw an exclusive list of VIPs invited to explore all the latest models from their high-end inventories and view their sumptuous interiors first-hand.
The first of the three Sunseeker luxury yachts on display was the Manhattan 52. Winner of the ‘Flybridges up to 55ft’ category at the 2017 Motor Boat Awards, this sleek flybridge motoryacht boasts a maximum speed of 31 knots and a range of 230 nautical miles per trip. Its 56.6ft length has further been optimised to house a capacious living and entertainment space, while its main deck and upper gallery offer even more venues to relax and socialise.
Then there’s the stunning new 76 Yacht, built to harmonise performance, elegance and spaciousness. Boasting the latest V-hull design, the main deck affords near 360-degree views of your chosen surroundings. Personalisation is the name of the game here. The flybridge layout can be customised to allow for a spa tub, extra sunbeds or a space to store your jet skis. The cockpit area, meanwhile, can be adapted to include a cocktail bar, with the stern available for the addition of extra fold-out seating, a barbeque grill or even a rain shower.
Finally, the pièce de résistance came in the form of the Sunseeker 86 Yacht, crafted for the most discerning maritime wayfarers in mind. Measuring 86’3-ft in length, this exclusive vessel features an expansive range of up to 1,300 nautical miles per trip and can accomodate up to 8 guests and 4 crew. Luxury is the byword here, with the sumptuous main saloon hand-furnished with the finest interior decor and state-of-the-art technology. Below deck, the owner’s stateroom and guest bedrooms also offer extravagance and comfort in equal measure. Whether you’re in the mood for open-air marine exhilaration or a more sedately intimate gathering with loved ones, the 86 Yacht truly exemplifies high-end living at its finest.
Car enthusiasts in attendance, meanwhile, were treated to an up-close viewing of luxury motoring marque Aston Martin’s latest DBS Superleggera. This sporty supercar’s twin-turbo 5.2-litre V12 pumps out a massive 715bHp that translates to a top speed of almost 340kmph. When combined with its carbon fibre body, this luxury auto offers super lightweight yet aggressively powerful drive experience. What’s more, lucky buyers can customise the roomy interiors to their exact requirements. From start to finish, the new DBS Superleggera truly embodies the best of masterful motor engineering.
