Sunseeker Portofino 46 Review
The latest vessel in the Sunseeker range to grace our shores is the Portofino 46. She's an Express Cruiser with all the style and luxury of her namesake, Portofino, that magnificently beautiful seaside town on the Italian Riviera south of Genoa.
Sunseeker Manhattan 66 Review
With her flowing lines, perfect proportions and intersecting curves, the Manhattan 66 heads up Sunseeker's flybridge range. And she does it with all the style and elegance boaters have come to expect from a $4m Sunseeker.
Sunseeker Manhattan 64 Review
The Sunseeker Manhattan 64 is a big, beautiful and luxuriously finished boat, but she's not that big that the average boatie will need to hire a full-time skipper to operate her.
