Best Sunseeker Yachts for Sale

British luxury yacht builder, Sunseeker, is renowned for its tech-savvy yachts with stylish design. A pioneering firm that helped to create the motor yachts we know today, Sunseeker is continuing its tradition of hand-built, hand-finished yachts. The Sunseeker range runs the gamut of powerboats from 38 to 161 feet (11.5m to 49m). Yachts in the larger range can be completely customized to the buyer’s specifications.

From its humble beginnings to its now worldwide notoriety, Sunseeker has a proud heritage. The name is synonymous with performance and luxury. Having now built 100 yachts over 100 feet (30.48m), the builder continues to set and exceed standards, solidifying Sunseeker yachts for sale as some of the most sought-after on the market.

Luxury Yachts Built for Sport & Leisure

Sunseeker Yachts, then known as Poole Power Boats, first opened its doors in 1969 on the south coast of Poole, England. There, Robert Braithwaite conceptualized a new kind of boat that would be built utilizing new technology and materials. He based his creation on customers who envisioned a different kind of on-water experience.

History of Sunseeker Yachts

After launching the Sovereign 17 and the Sovereign 20 in the early 1970s, Sunseeker solidified itself as the UK’s most significant sport and leisure boat builder. Further innovations lead to Sunseeker’s move into the Mediterranean market with yachts like the Offshore 28. This performance model truly secured Sunseeker a spot on the international stage. The subsequent Portofino 31 and Tomahawk 37 models of the 80s took their design cues straight from the dream boards of Sunseeker owners and potential buyers. Sunseeker launched the Predator 80 in the 1990s and set a new benchmark for style, performance and accommodation. At the turn of the century, Sunseeker broke into the 100-foot-plus market with the 105 Yacht. Since that momentous launch, Sunseeker has delivered more than 100 yachts larger than 100 feet (30.48m). The brand continues to use innovative techniques to push the boundaries of style, design and performance of its yachts.

What Makes Sunseeker Yachts Different?

“Sunseeker is one of the most well-known brands in the production yacht market. Now offering yachts from 40 to 161 feet (12.9 to 49m) in various styles, Sunseeker casts a wide net,” says Northrop & Johnson Sales Broker Wes Sanford. “The facility in the UK is possibly one of the most modern and technically advanced of all yacht manufacturers, which, in part, is necessary to keep up with demand and production. Sunseeker is proud to produce “handmade” yachts,” says Northrop & Johnson Sales Broker Joe Foggia. “As a whole, Sunseeker is one of the best builders as far as quality and reliability are concerned. Sunseeker yachts are built to withstand the rough conditions of the English Channel and the North Sea. These yachts are constructed with a Deep-V hull shape to facilitate a more comfortable ride. This combined with ultra-modern lines and hugely customizable interiors has made Sunseeker a popular global choice.”

Northrop & Johnson is proud to offer the most impressive Sunseeker yachts for sale. Boasting impeccable design, excellent performance prowess, handcrafted detailing and fine-quality craftsmanship, these luxury yachts for sale offer style, safety and seaworthiness. Sunseeker offers both production and bespoke yachts. Sunseeker recently launched its largest offering to date, the 161. This beautiful 161-foot (49m) tri-deck superyacht features the striking exterior design for which Sunseeker yachts are renowned, as well as immense volume and a completely customizable interior that will suit the taste of any yacht owner. Sunseeker’s unyielding dedication to style and performance ensures its yachts will continue to impress for years to come.

What It’s Like to Have a Sunseeker Yacht

Ideally suited for chartering, Sunseeker yachts promise excellent cruising for all types of guests. Cruise the Mediterranean or Caribbean seas in style on board a Sunseeker yacht and you truly will see and be seen. Thanks to expertly designed accommodation layouts, guests will be treated to the utmost of comfort. Four- or five- stateroom configurations are available on yachts from the new 76 Yacht to the 161 Yacht.

“Sunseeker yachts for charter offer guests top performance and style,” says Northrop & Johnson charter broker Amy Wachmann. “Their exteriors are eye-catching; the accommodation layouts are well suited for chartering; their aesthetics have charter guests falling in love. Safe, comfortable and quick, charterers are able to enjoy it all aboard a Sunseeker.”

New modification of Russian VVER-440 fuel loaded at Paks NPP in Hungary

DECEMBER 14, 2020 — After the recent refueling at power unit 3 of the Hungarian Paks NPP, its VVER-440 reactor has been loaded with a batch of fresh fuel including 18 fuel bundles of the new modification. The new fuel will be introduced at all four operating power units of the Paks NPP, and the amount of new-modification bundles in each refueling will be increased gradually.

Development of the new VVER-440 fuel modification was completed in 2020 under the contract between TVEL JSC and MVM Paks NPP Ltd. Its introduction would optimize the hydro-uranium ratio in the reactor core, enabling to increase the efficiency of fuel usage and advance the economic performance of the power plant operation. All VVER-440 fuel modifications are manufactured at the Elemash Machine-Building Plant, a facility of TVEL Fuel Company in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

“Introduction of a new fuel is an option to improve technical and economic performance of a nuclear power plant without substantial investment. We are actively engaged in development of new models and modifications of VVER-440 fuel for power plants in Europe. The projects of the new fuels for Loviisa NPP in Finland, Dukovany NPP in the Czech Republic, Mochovce and Bohunice NPPs in Slovakia, are currently at various stages of implementation. Despite the same reactor model, these projects are quite different technically and conceptually, since we take into account the individual needs and requirements of our customers,” commented Natalia Nikipelova, President of TVEL JSC.

For reference:

The project of development and validation of the new fuel has been accomplished with participation of a number of Russian nuclear industry enterprises, such as OKB Gidropress (a part of Rosatom machine-building division Atomenergomash), Bochvar Institute (material science research facility of TVEL Fuel Company), Elemash Machine-building plant and Kurchatov Institute national research center. At the site of OKB Gidropress research and experiment facility, the new fuel passed a range of hydraulic, longevity and vibration tests.

Paks NPP is the only functioning nuclear power plant in Hungary with total installed capacity 2000 MWe. It operates four similar units powered by VVER-440 reactors and commissioned one by one in 1982-1987. Currently, Paks NPP is the only VVER-440 plant in the world operating in extended 15-monthes fuel cycle. The power plant produces about 15 bln kWh annually, about a half of electric power generation in Hungary. In 2018, the project of increasing the duration of Paks NPP fuel cycle won the European competition Quality Innovation Award in the nomination “Innovations of large enterprises”. Russian engineers from TVEL JSC, Kurchatov Institute, OKB Gidropress, Bochvar Institute and Elemash Machine-building plant provided assistance to the Hungarian colleagues in accomplishment of the project.

  TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom incorporates enterprises for the fabrication of nuclear fuel, conversion and enrichment of uranium, production of gas centrifuges, as well as research and design organizations. It is the only supplier of nuclear fuel for Russian nuclear power plants. TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom provides nuclear fuel for 73 power reactors in 13 countries worldwide, research reactors in eight countries, as well as transport reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world operates on fuel manufactured by TVEL.  www.tvel.ru
