More Information On This Yacht Model
The teak-lined flybridge extends to an almost full-beam width of 22-feet at the rear, and there is enough space back here for a four-pad modular sunpad surrounding a circular hot tub. The rest of the bridge is covered by a fiberglass canopy with a retractable sunroof, and you will find a walk-in wet-bar with a marbled serving platform, an ice-chipper and an electric griddle in the shade, across from a U-shaped dining sofa with an extending timber table. At the front of the bridge there is a set of al-fresco helm controls, as well as a water-tight companionway door into the raised pilothouse, where you will be met by thruster controls, a joystick, three Simrad display panels, a depth-sounder, VHF radio and power-assisted steering.
One level down and you will discover the perfect spot for sunbathing out on the foredeck’s triple-width sunpad, while for sheltered relaxation you may wish to retreat to the aft-deck, where a transom sofa provides the ideal setting for an aperitif or two. Side steps lead down to a full-beam hydraulic swimming platform and a tender garage capable of hosting a Williams jet tender.
Curved sliding-glass doors lead you into a main deck salon that can be lined in your choice of black American walnut, glossy teak or cherry or satin-finished oak. A trio of leather sofas surround a bespoke coffee table and lead towards a formal dining table with room for up to eight guests. Also located on this level is an enclosed galley with solid work surfaces, Miele appliances, plenty of refrigerated storage and a breakfast bar. At the front of the main deck there is an owner’s stateroom that comes with its own dressing room, a private salon with an L-shaped sofa and a work-desk, a double bathroom and a king-sized island bed. On the lower deck there is room for up to six more overnight guests across a pair of en-suite twin bedrooms and a full-beam VIP stateroom with its own dressing room, a loveseat, mullioned windows and a work desk. A private crew quarters nestled up by the bow also sleeps up to four and comes with its own bathroom facilities, a mini-galley and a niche dinette lounge.
Though a sizeable yacht by anyone’s definition, the Sunseeker 30M moves across the water like a much smaller vessel thanks to a pair of MTU 16V 2000 M94 shaft-drive engines that deliver top speeds in excess of 28 knots. At cruising speeds of a sedate 10 knots, meanwhile, you can expect a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles, more than enough to plot the most ambitious itinerary overseas. A Don Shead-designed deep-V hull constructed out of fiberglass keeps this yacht well-balanced in a range of conditions, and finds that sweet spot between speed and capacity that leaves other yacht building firms feeling envious.
