Sunseeker 82 Yacht Review
In every respect, customers are offered enormous flexibility in terms of specifications, layout and choice of engines. The net result is that each Sunseeker Yacht is a reflection of its owner's tastes and preferences.
Sunseeker 75 Yacht Review
Out on the water the Sunseeker 75 Yacht lives up to the formable reputation her predecessors have earned. While she doesn't have the awesome acceleration of Sunseeker's Predator line-up, she can still muster some push-you-back-in-your-seat performance from her twin 1500hp V12 MAN diesels.
Sunseeker Manhattan 60 Review
With a price tag of around $3 million, the Manhattan 60 is not an inexpensive boat by any means, but you get a lot for your dollar and it's first class all the way. Soon you'll be telling your friends.
Sunseeker Manhattan 66 Boat Review
So it was with great interest that I revisited this latest version (the sixth 66 to be imported to Australia) and I wasn't disappointed.
Sunseeker 75 MkII Yacht Review
But is there value for money to be had in the big boat market ? After testing this upgraded Sunseeker 75 Yacht I reckon the simple answer is yes! With a price tag of around $6m that's exactly what you get with this boat, excellent value for money. There's no denying this boat is an entertainer's dream.
Warren Yachts Supernova 88 Review
This Supernova 88 is an impressive boat on all counts. Out back it's all water sports and entertaining, while the main cabin is stylish and ultra-modern with a metallic finish one does not expect on a boat of this type and it works. Below decks she's a fivestar hotel with all the trimmings and many small features that are all designed to make life onboard hassle free.
