At a glance

Alongside the Manhattan 55, she is the second new boat attraction on the Sunseeker stand. With the 68, the shipyard is following the trend of letting in as much natural light as possible through large windows, thus creating a friendly ambience. When sailing, the yacht shows its sporting ambitions with a maximum speed of 45 knots. A dinghy up to 3.25 metres long can be stowed in the tender garage for short excursions from on board.

Technical data

  • Manufacturer: Sunseeker (GBR)
  • Model name: 68 Sport Yacht
  • Length: 21,70 m
  • Width: 5,09 m

Interesting detail

The fact that the 68 is rightly labelled a sports yacht is proven not only by its extremely slim hull, but also by the fact that the propulsion system is fully trimmed for performance with FP propellers located in tunnels.
