Sunseeker 100 Yacht Review (2021 Edition)

The 100 Yacht is the flagship of Sunseeker's Yacht range and teams massive interior volume with seriously clever deck spaces. 

The Sunseeker 100 Yacht is an interesting take on the tri-deck yacht design because it's the first Sunseeker with a top deck that is symmetrical and linked bow to stern to create one almost full-length outdoor living space.

It's bursting with clever design details too, such as the brilliant X-TEND seating system and the bow terrace that can be directly accessed from the master suite, which is forward on the main deck. Below, there are four further double guest ensuites and a generous crew space. Even on a yacht of this size, Sunseeker puts an emphasis on performance so expect 30 knots flat out and a range of over 1,000nm at displacement speed. The question is, in a sector brimming with seriously impressive craft does the 100 Yacht have what it takes to stand out from the crowd? Keep reading to find out.

Design & Build

As a pure demonstration of the journey that boat design has taken in a relatively short time, look at the difference in the amount of glass in the structure between the 100 Yacht and the next boat down on the Sunseeker Yacht range hierarchy, the 95 Yacht. With the 95, glazing punctuates what is primarily a GRP superstructure but with the 100 the glass-to-GRP ratio is far more in favour of see-through material. It's an impressive feat of design language to produce such a diverse range of boats and maintain clear DNA from top to bottom. It is unmistakably a Sunseeker but of course, the use of glass brings far more than just a recognisable profile, it bathes the main deck in natural light and glazed cut-outs in the bulwarks deliver great views from inside the saloon. 

This is the first Sunseeker with an unbroken link between the flybridge and foredeck, which creates an almost full-length living space on the top deck, complete with a brilliant mix of seating, lounging space, cooking facilities and, as an option, a hot tub. There are passages down both sides of the pilothouse, too, offering full walkaround access between the aft end of the top deck and the sunbathing space of the foredeck

Many of this boat's rivals, such as the Ferretti 1000 and Pearl 95, use similar basic layouts but the link between the master suite on the main deck and the private bow terrace is unique to the Sunseeker and it's a brilliant bit of design that gives the master cabin on this yacht a little extra sparkle. Talking of sparkle, the X-TEND seating system, first seen on the 90 Ocean, is also an option on the 100 Yacht and it's used to great effect. As part of this arrangement, there is a tender garage large enough to fit a Williams Sportjet 460 and a jet-ski as well as a range of other water toys such as Seabobs and stand-up paddleboards. 

Speed & Range

It's easy to become blasé about the performance of yachts like these, given the quality of what's on the market, but take a step back and look at the numbers and it's quite staggering. There are three MTU engine options: twin 1,900hp, 2,000hp and 2,600hp. With the most popular twin 2,000hp motors this nearly 100ft, 100-tonne monster will achieve a whisker under 30 knots, giving it a fast cruising speed of 25 knots. However, thanks to the 12,800-litre fuel capacity, drop the speed back to 12 knots and it will cover 1,300nm. That's an incredible amount of performance flexibility from nearly 30 knots flat out to well over 1,000nm of range between visits to the fuel dock.

For the extra cost, the largest engines probably aren't worth it given they will only add a couple of knots to the top end and deliver no better cruising speed or greater range at displacement speed than the twin 2,000s. 

Interior Accommodation

You can take it for a given that the salon of a 100ft yacht feels enormous and Sunseeker has used that space on the 100 Yacht to create a pretty evenly split lounging and dining area. This is not a full custom yacht, so it's not like a Horizon where you start with what is effectively a blank sheet of paper but there is a huge variety of wood and colour choices and plenty of scope to tweak the layout to suit particular needs. 

There is the option, on the starboard side, to have sliding doors that grant access directly onto the side deck but, even without those, thanks to the aforementioned glazing on this deck there is a great connection to the water with dining table to port aligning perfectly with the floor-to-ceiling windows. Wonder to port and there is access to the ship's galley, which is equipped to a very high standard and has direct access both to the crew quarters, forward, and onto the port side deck via a door. This means the galley can be closed off but the crew can still move around the outside of the boat without having to walk through the salon when guests are using it. 

On the other side of the deck, just aft of the entrance to the main deck master suite is a well-positioned day head that guests can use without having to dive below decks to their cabins. The master suite is quite special on the 100 Yacht. It's huge and makes the very most of the window line to deliver elevated views out over the water. With the sliding doors at the peak of the bow, the bathroom is behind the bed and it's a good size with enough space for twin sinks and separate shower and toilet cubicles.

It's those doors at the bow that set this cabin apart, though, not only through the amount of natural light that they draw into the cabin but because they give direct access to what is basically a private terrace for the owners, protected by the bow moulding and hidden away from guests. Make a coffee and head out here in the morning to enjoy the peace and quiet. The only headache (and it's mainly for the crew) is what to do with any furniture in this area because, being above the anchor winch and between the mooring gear, this is also an important working area of the boat. 

Guests & Crew

Guests are treated to four almost identical staterooms on the 100 Yacht, though the two amidship doubles are slightly larger than the pair forward. That said, the forward pair have their berths mounted on runners so they can quickly switch between doubles and twins depending on who is using them. For charter, this cabin arrangement would work particularly well but if the preference is guest comfort then there is the option to remove the bulkhead that separates the two aft doubles and create one enormous full-beam VIP suite amidships. 

As for the crew, they have a decent mess area with a dinette and galley with two bunk cabins that share a bathroom for the crew and a separate captain's cabin with its own ensuite. Putting the crew forward means they are a long way from the machinery space if they need to get there in a hurry but a couple of MFDs give oversight of the boat's systems and navigation from inside the crew quarters.

Helm Station

The pilothouse bridge with its commanding dashboard is - unless you specify the optional upper helm on the top deck - the only position to drive the 100 Yacht from. There is a beautiful leather helm chair with full adjustment and space on either side to lay out charts and paperwork. A bench seat offers somewhere for the crew to amass when the boat is on passage or a fun place for guests to perch and enjoy the action when the yacht is on the move. 

From here you peer through a steeply raked three-piece windscreen over three Simrad MFDs with links to charts, radar and a suite of cameras throughout the boat. A separate screen provides oversight and control of the yacht's systems such as lighting, ventilation, tank levels and power generation. 

Without the upper helm option, the cameras are a helpful addition, as are the wing stations on both sides of the top deck, which allow the skipper to moor the boat from either side of the flybridge. Without the flybridge helm option, there is space for a cosy L-shaped seat, which tucks into the corner of the pilothouse moulding.

Deck Lifestyle

There is innovation from stern to stem but the most striking piece of design is the X-TEND seating system, first developed for the 90 Ocean. The clamshell transom is part tender garage door, and part flexible seating system. Primarily, it lifts to reveal the tender garage, which is a flooding space that can also be used as a beach club with a built-in bar, overhead shower and a set of sun loungers. Once in the open position, the clamshell opens out and away from the cockpit to create a double-width sunlounger that faces into the aft deck. Open the bi-folding balustrades and guests can freely move on and off this fabulous sun pad, which faces into the seating in the cockpit. 

Push a couple more buttons and the clamshell closes, the entire unit drops down to close the tender garage and the clamshell can then open again to create the same-sized seating area over the bathing platform facing out to sea. This creates a lovely place to sit and relax if people are having a swim, enjoying the submerged bathing platform or using the yacht's water toys. X-TEND is a cost option but you'd be mad not to go for it as it's so key to the 100 Yacht's charms. 

At the other end of the yacht is the bow terrace area, which via a short run of steps links to a top deck that is unbroken all the way to the aft end of the flybridge. There is the option to have steps up either side of this area to the deck above but you can lose the starboard staircase and replace it with a fridge, which offers some added privacy and makes the space feel a bit more secluded. 

Decks To Impress

The link between the forward and aft areas of this deck is what creates such a sociable living space. The side decks are almost identical except for the run of steps on the port side that lead down to the main deck and into the gallery area. The foredeck features a huge sun pad with actuated backrests and a dinette that nudges up the pilothouse to create a great spot to enjoy a drink and snack under the shade of the canopy. There is even the option to add a projector screen here so guests can enjoy a private outdoor cinema. 

The aft end of the flybridge centres around a huge 12-person dinette and bar area all protected by a sleek hard top with a canvas sunroof. There is flexibility right aft where the space can be left open for free-standing furniture, fixed seating and a sunbathing space or, for a true superyacht touch, a hot tub. Speaking of superyacht touches, Sunseeker has included a gate in the rails on the port aft end of the top deck specifically for the crew to attach an inflatable slide to. It knows its market, that's for sure. 

Value For Money

Cost is all relative when considering a boat of this size but the 100 Yacht is made by a production shipyard and there are cost-effective build processes in place. This isn't a full custom yacht and therefore there isn't the flexibility of some rivals when it comes to internal layout and design. This does streamline the build, however, and those savings are passed on to the customer. 

The Sunseeker 100 Yacht is an impressive package. The mix of sprawling deck spaces, spacious cabins and stonking performance make for an incredibly well-balanced yacht that is packed with fresh thinking. No key rivals can compete with the flexibility of the X-TEND seating system, which creates such a unique living space at the aft end of the main deck. Likewise, at the bow, the private terrace with direct access from the master suite is a brilliant addition. 

The accommodation layout lends itself brilliantly to charter use but with the galley on the main deck and the sociable top deck that links so effortlessly from bow to stern this is also a yacht that is well attuned for private use with friends and family. 

Sunseeker really is mixing it with some of the big boys in this sector but its focus on innovation and design has produced a yacht that truly stands out from the crowd. 

Reasons to Buy

• Deck functionality
• Five double ensuite cabins
• Versatile performance
• Big tender garage

Things to Consider

• X-Tend seating is a cost option
• Lacks the customisation of some rivals

The Sunseeker faces competition from some of the biggest and best production yacht manufacturers on the market. Here is a selection.

The Ferretti Yachts 1000 shares almost identical dimensions with the Sunseeker and is capable of 30 knots with the largest of two 16-cylinder MTU engines. It can't match the clever X-Tend seating system but a full-width bench on the bathing platform and infinity-style cockpit bring these two areas together nicely. As with the Sunseeker, the master suite is on the main deck with four further guest cabins on the lower deck and a crew space forward with sleeping space for five. The 1000 also has space for both a tender and a jet-ski inside its tender garage. Being the flagship of the Ferretti range you can pretty much guarantee that the quality of construction and engineering will be top-class. 

The Princess Y95 , which is based on the hugely successful X95, is slightly smaller than the Sunseeker and its design is more big flybridge rather than a mini superyacht but it boasts an efficient hull design and a good variety of layout options. It doesn't have the linked fore and aft top decks of the likes of the Sunseeker and Ferretti, with access to the flybridge via the pilothouse and a staircase in the cockpit. The master suite is forward on the main deck leaving a full-beam VIP amidships on the lower deck and four further guest cabins. The aft end is quite flexible with the choice of a jet-ski garage, extended crew quarters or a sunken beach club with a lounge, bar and bathroom. With a pair of MAN 2,000hp engines, the top speed is 25 knots. 

It can be hard to stand out among such a talented crop but if you want something that truly does things its own way then the Pearl 95 fits the bill. Designed by Bill Dixon with interiors from renowned home designer Kelly Hoppen, the Pearl 95 is a striking-looking craft with a steeply raked extended windscreen and mirrored glazing on the main deck. Inside its even braver, Hoppen has created an interior brimming with avant-garde detailing that is more penthouse apartment than a scaled-down superyacht. As standard, there are four cabins including a master suite on the main deck but the amidships VIP can be split in two to create another cabin if sleeping space is a priority. There are three engine options, including 2,600hp MTUs, but even with the standard 1,900hp CAT C32s it will crack 30 knots. Pearls tend to be cheaper than their rivals, as well.

Sunseeker 100 Yacht tour: Inside Sunseeker’s new 100ft masterpiece

• Superyachts
• Top stories
• yacht tours

The Sunseeker 100 Yacht is set to usher in what the British yard calls a “new era” in flybridge design. We jumped on board during its Cannes 2022 debut...

Aggressively styled, with an unbroken window line that seems to separate the superstructure from the hull, the new 100 Yacht’s potent three-dimensional aesthetic generates huge visual impact.

But what really sets the new Sunseeker 100 Yacht apart is not so much its style as its thought-provoking reinterpretation of the tri-deck layout.

By creating a full-beam walkaround upper level with easy fore-and-aft access to the foredeck lounge, the new Sunseeker’s flybridge is able to encompass almost the entire boat’s length.

It runs, obstruction-free, all the way from the main deck transom steps to the owner’s forward terrace, providing complete walkaround access from bow to stern.

It looks well equipped in terms of entertaining options too. In addition to the flybridge ’s central dinette, there’s plenty of space for an optional helm station, free-standing loungers, wet bar and Jacuzzi.

Sunseeker 90 ocean review: brave new design is about more than just a beach club.

And the foredeck itself also offers two separate seating arrangements, as well as the option of a laser projector and a 140-inch cinema screen for lazy evenings at anchor. Back down on the main deck, the forward owner’s suite leverages the full scale of the yacht’s beam.

In addition to floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, it also includes a sliding glass door that leads out onto the owner’s private foredeck terrace. And for everyone else, the lower deck provides lavish ensuite accommodation for up to eight guests.

The crew have their own space in the bow with separate access to the galley and three small ensuite cabins.

Other key features include a raised pilothouse with a glass aft bulkhead that allows guests an uninterrupted view forward from the flybridge, and a ‘penthouse style’ saloon with floor to ceiling windows formal dining for eight, an impressive aft lounging area to port, plus an optional sliding door to starboard.

The integration of fly deck and bow lounge is deeply impressive

And when you step out into the big aft cockpit, the recreational flexibility is equally well considered. While the floodable tender garage is large enough for a Williams 460 Sportjet, plus jetski and Seabobs, it can also be converted into a decadent Beach Club with built-in barbecue, rain shower and sunlougers, similar to the recently-launched Sunseeker 90 Ocean .

Available either with MTU 12V 2000 M96X engines or MTU 16V 2000 M96Ls, the Sunseeker 100 Yacht has an estimated top speed of around 29 knots.

The 100 Yacht will sneak in just below the 24m waterline length, ensuring it is classed as an RCD Category A leisure vessel rather than having to meet the more onerous regulations for a superyacht .

Update: The Sunseeker 100 Yacht will be getting its US debut at the 2023 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show .

Sunseeker 100 Yacht Review: The New British Masterpiece

Sunseeker 100 Yacht marks the beginning of a new era, the landmark XXI century flybridge yacht, as declared by the shipyard’s representatives at the launch of the first hull in April 2022 in Pool (UK), and it proved this statement by becoming later a showstopper at Cannes Yachting Festival

Sunseeker 100 is an RPH class yacht. Raised Pilot House (RPH) is probably one of the wisest elaborations in yacht building history. This configuration, with the covered pilot house between main and upper decks, allows you to enjoy more social space aboard, and it makes your helmsman happy as well with excellent overview from just below the flybridge and the working place only for himself.

This concept has been especially successfully used by Sunseeker, whose RPH yachts like models 34 M and 115 (followed by 116) are some of the most successful yachts of these sizes on the market.

As we hop aboard Sunseeker 100 Yacht we see a very spacy bathing platform. It literally has enough place to organize a proper lounge by the water (it has hidden reclining sun pad where you’d imagine a garage door to be) or to store a tender or jet ski (no need tough – the garage is spacy enough).

Few steps up to the cockpit area and we notice a family resemblance to Sunseeker 90 Ocean : a smartly organized area with sofa and tables facing the sea with opening glass transom gates. The open gates give you access to sea, the closed configuration gives more safety in case you’re going out to sea with kids or even a pet, and in general it belongs to the new generation of carefully designed sterns of Sunseekers.

The sliding doors take us to the main salon, a huge space full of light thanks to panoramic windows on the sides. Air-conditioned and noise-isolated with closed doors, a salon like this is the perfect escape place from marina’s hectic life. If you’re going to spend an evening at anchor throwing a party or if you prefer a large common space, the saloon can easily be united with the open air of the cockpit.

There is also a formal dining area in the middle – a feature still much needed for certain type of weather conditions, while most situations will allow you to eat at al fresco dining zone. Moving further we find a lobby with wine storage and a day head with a big window. This indicates Sunseeker 100 Yacht was very much inspired by superyachts where you always have a day head up on the main deck to avoid guests wandering on lower deck.

On the foredeck these is the owner’s suite beginning with massive walk-in wardrobe and make-up table converting to a desk, it is definitely the highlight of the yacht. The master cabin also features big windows with comfortable sofas to enjoy your sea view on the go and a spacious bath room.

However, the main attraction awaits further, at the forward part of master cabin, where panoramic curved sliding doors open into the owner’s terrace at the bow, an absolutely stunning private area where the future owner of Sunseeker 100 Yacht will always find a quiet sanctuary for reading, sunbathing, working or for a drink or two before the dinner.

And what about the guests? The future owner of Sunseeker 100 Yacht gets a chance to have family and/or friends aboard accommodated comfortably in four double cabins on the lower deck. And the crew gets its designated space for five members including well equipped crew mess and easy access to the galley and storages.

Just a few steps up from the owner’s private terrace we find ourselves in the sunbathing area on the upper deck in front of the pilot house window. From here we can easily access the flybridge. The seamless access from the flybridge to foredeck and to the owner’s private terrace makes Sunseeker 100 unique on the current yacht market. The flybridge is truly the center of life on the exteriors of this boat.

The RPH configuration means there is no need for the second helm post, which makes the flybridge a hundred percent social area. There is a couple of cozy sofa corners, a dining table for 12, and a fully equipped bar with the electric grill. At the bow area there is a jacuzzi with infinity effect allowing you to enjoy the sea view from inside the pool. And the teak layered steps won’t let you slip or feel uncomfortable when you get from the spa-pool to one of the sun pads surrounding it.

With Sunseeker 100 Yacht appearing on the market almost a year ago it is interesting to know that two of these yachts are cruising Croatia this summer, with the owner in own isolated area, but still very conveniently linked with the center of life aboard. Happy owner and happy crew are key to the success of every popular yacht.

The highly anticipated 100 Yacht launched into Poole Harbour, seeing daylight for the very first time. Preparing for her maiden sea trial, the 100 Yacht stands poised at the home of Sunseeker before her delivery into the Mediterranean this summer. Aggressive styling remains true to Sunseeker lineage but with a new, three-dimensional aesthetic.

Andrea Frabetti, Chief Executive Officer at Sunseeker International, commented: “We are incredibly proud to unveil the 100 Yacht here in Poole with the owner in attendance to see, for the first time, this spectacular new model. Our project team has worked incredibly hard to present the first build and prepare the vessel for initial sea trials and testing. The second hull is following in close succession and our teams are now busy building multiple 100 Yacht orders for delivery in 2022 and beyond: it’s been a remarkable success. The order book is a reflection of our brand strength, the in-house creativity and the passion of all involved to deliver a spectacular new model. This is the only yacht offering seamless access between flybridge, foredeck and owners’ private terrace on the sea.”

The 100 Yacht will revolutionise the Sunseeker Yacht range, earmarking the start of a new era in flybridge design and functionality for the British yard. With new entertainment features at the fore, the 100 Yacht offers great versatility with a truly global appeal. The sweeping flybridge, with complete walk-around access from bow to stern, is one of the exceptional entertainment areas that defines the 100 Yacht. The vast space on the flybridge is cleverly zoned to offer seamless entertainment. The foredeck has two separate seating arrangements with cinema screen capability, while the central flybridge has L-shaped seating, a fully equipped wet bar and space aft for free-standing furniture or a spa bath.

The 22-foot beam adds significant interior volume feeling much larger than a 100-footer, matched by interior features typically found in bespoke superyachts. The full-beam master suite situated on the main deck benefits from floor to ceiling windows port and starboard as well as an exceptional glass atrium door forward, leading to an owner’s private bow terrace.

Powered by MTU 12V 2000 M96X or MTU 16V 2000 M96L, the 100 Yacht reaches speeds of up to 29 knots and has a range of 1,300 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 12 knots. Reflecting its enormous strength and design capability, the yacht has been awarded CE Category A/Ocean status.

Principal Characteristics:

Length overall – 29.85 m / 97’11” Beam – 6.90 m / 22’8″ Draft (full load) – 2.10 m / 6’10” Displacement (half load) – 94,119 kg / 207,497 lb Fuel capacity – 12,800 litres / 3,381 US gal.

For many yacht owners, the solution to finding more space aboard for friends and family is summed up by that immortal line by Chief Brody in Jaws: “You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Until now, bigger has typically meant longer. But that’s quickly changing as more and more builders are creating interior volume by going wider and taller. For disrupter builder Wally Yachts and its polarizing new Wallywhy 150—which refers to its internal volume rather than the boat’s length—the quirky design is said to deliver 50 percent more space than more traditional 78-footers.

Other builders like Princess have been in the game since 2021. Its X95 first appeared several years ago, effectively throwing down the gauntlet as a way forward for sub-100-foot yachts to supersize both interior and exterior volumes.

Since then, many other builders of small superyachts have jumped on board, with designs that typically have somewhat bloated profiles, far-forward main suites, and open transoms—features all designed to maximize space but minimize length.

Here are 10 new yachts 100 feet and under that are breaking the mold in an attempt to dominate the nautical space race.

wallywhy150

It’s no wonder that disrupter Italian builder Wally—now part of the Ferretti Group—calls its latest head-turner a “spaceship.” Claiming up to 50 percent more space than comparable 78-footers, the 150 (named after interior volume rather than length) has standout features like a main salon with over eight feet of headroom, and a beam of more than 22 feet. The pragmatic design includes a one-level main deck attached to an open rear cockpit that offers easy access to the water. Its most noteworthy feature is the rule-breaking, full-beam master suite tucked into the bow on the main deck. It has wraparound glass—stretching all the way around the bow—for panorama-like views from the main bedroom. Priced from about $6.7 million.

Lazzara UHV 87

Short for Ultra High Volume, this new Turkish-built pocket superyacht is a sistership to Lazzara’s UHV 100 and 125 models. The newest Lazzara boasts an impressive 2,153 square feet of interior space in its 87-foot length. Arguably, the boat is not pretty in a classic sense. The towering hull sides, blunt, plumb bow, and dark-tinted glass make it look more like a dinner cruiser than a mini-superyacht. But the interior space is astonishing, from the cavernous Sky Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, to the salon with a separate, chandelier-lit dining area and chef’s galley. With a fuel capacity of 3,000 gals, the twin 1,000 hp Volvo D13s deliver a top speed of 16 knots. The boat also has transatlantic range. Base price starts at about $10.9 million.

Sunseeker 100 Yacht

Movie nights under the stars should have a whole new appeal aboard UK builder Sunseeker’s brand-new 98-footer. Lie back on the yacht’s extra-wide foredeck sunpad and watch the latest blockbuster on a 140-inch screen with laser projection. Or, if you’re the lucky owner, stargaze from your private terrace tucked away in the bow, just steps from the full-beam main-deck master suite, with atrium-style glass sliding doors. One of the best innovations here is the wide, uninterrupted walkway around the entire top deck, which provides safe, easy access from the flybridge to the forward entertaining space. With its twin 2,600 hp V16 MTU diesels, top speed is an impressive 29 knots. Priced from about $10.5 million.

Azimut Grande 26M

For its brand-new Grande 26M compact superyacht, Italian builder Azimut has gone extra wide to create massive interior and exterior spaces. Spatial highlights include a full-width flybridge that’s almost 20 feet across and close to 40 feet long, and a foredeck entertaining area that seems more like an outdoor patio. The Alberto Mancini-styled go-fast cruiser is crammed with space-enhancing innovations, such as a teak-decked garage door that, at the touch of a button, hinges upwards to extend the rear cockpit by almost five feet. New ZF pod drives coupled to the yacht’s twin 1,650 hp MAN V12 diesels also save space. It is priced from about $6.2 million.

Princess X95

As we said during our 2021 tour of Britain’s Princess Yachts’ tri-deck X95 “When it comes to the polarizing, head-spinning design, there are no half-measures, no in-betweens. You either love it. Or loathe it.” But what those eye-popping lines hide is perhaps the most spacious 95-foot luxury cruiser in the category. Reckoned to be some 40 percent roomier than cruisers with the same length, the X95 has stretch-out accommodations for up to 10 in five cabins and living spaces that rival most apartments. The flybridge covers almost the entire length of the yacht. The 100 is also fast, with twin 1,990 hp MAN V12s delivering a top speed of 23 knots. Prices start at about $12 million.

Extra X96 Triplex

This broad-beamed 96-footer is from the Italian builder Extra Yachts, which is part of the Palumbo Superyachts Group. While it’s called the Triplex, there are actually four levels if you include the cozy upper sundeck with its outdoor kitchen, dining area, and oversized sunpads. The exterior comes courtesy of Italian designer Francesco Guida, while interiors are by Milan-based Hot Labs. Both teams have made the most of the yacht’s class-leading 25-foot beam. Notable features include a vast full-beam master on the main level and an upper salon dedicated entirely to dining, with a table for 10, an open chef’s galley, and an adjoining outdoor bar. Twin Volvo IPS1350s deliver a 16.5-knot top speed. Priced from $12 million.

This Sunreef power catamaran’s beam spans a staggering 44 feet, offering the kind of interior and exterior spaces you only get with superyachts twice the length. Every element of the yacht is XXL-size—from the massive hydraulic swim platform to the full-width flybridge that covers almost 1,000 square feet. Down in the salon is a huge 11-seat U-shaped bar that would delight any mixologist. The five staterooms in the twin hulls have space for 10. A pair of 1,300 hp MAN V8 diesels delivers a six-knot top speed. It is priced from about $15.3 million.

Absolute Navetta 75

In Italian, the word “navetta” translates to “little ship.” Which is a perfect description for Absolute’s new 75-foot fast cruiser. It’s an evolution of the strong-selling Navetta 73 but with nearly two feet of extra length. The yacht’s expansive interior volumes will remain the same, with features like a forward master stateroom on its own level that has a private entrance steps away from the main salon. The salon features floor-to-ceiling glass, with full views of the water, courtesy of open bulwarks. Twin 1,000 hp Volvo IPS1350 diesels deliver a top speed of 25 knots. Pricing starts at about $4 million.

Arcadia A96

Cross a spacious Miami high-rise penthouse with a Canyon Ranch spa and the result could be this new 96-foot superyacht from Italian builder Arcadia. Boasting a remarkable 4,300 square feet of total living space, there’s room for 12 guests and five crew. And the living spaces even expand, courtesy of fold-down terraces in the main salon and on the rear deck. But the yacht’s focus on wellness and healthy living sets it apart. That expansive, teak-decked foredeck, spanning over 500 square feet, is perfect for yoga sessions or meditation, while the cockpit and beach club offer another 1,000 square feet of social space. For extra peace and quiet at anchor, solar panels can provide up to nine hours of generator-free power.

Numarine 26XP Fast

Think of it as offering pace, with space. Turkish yard Numarine has been building its bold 85-foot 26XP explorer style mini-superyacht since 2018, but later this year, it will launch the U.S.-focused 26XP Fast. Instead of slow-churning 435 hp diesels and nine-knot cruising, it’s bolting-in a pair of mighty 1,800 hp MAN V12s and modifying the hull to deliver a top speed of 31 knots. What hasn’t changed is the XP’s cavernous interior and expensive deck space. Take the top-deck flybridge which, thanks to the yacht’s 21-foot beam and far-forward helm, spans over 700 square feet. That space will include a dining table for eight, a full outdoor kitchen, and more lounges than a Saint-Tropez beach bar. Prices start from $6.95 million.
