Sunseeker Ocean 460: Triple-decker from new series with plenty of volume

Sunseeker has delivered 150 yachts over 100 feet in the last 25 years. CEO Andrea Frabetti has now unveiled fresh ideas for the superyacht division of the traditional British brand. A new series with models between 100 and 140 feet is being planned.

Specifically, we are talking about a 120, a 135 and the Ocean 460: a 42 metre long three-decker with a round bilge semi-planing hull and vertical stem. With a beam of 9.50 metres, the new addition has 25 percent more interior volume than its sister ship, the Sunseeker 131, so instead of using the length of the yacht in the model name, Ocean 460 refers to the gross tonnage, in this case a whopping 460 gross tonnes.

Range and interior of the Sunseeker Ocean 460

Two MAN 12 V engines enable a top speed of 21 knots and a range of 3,200 nautical miles at twelve knots. The optional hybrid version provides silent operation on short journeys and clean hotel operation at anchor.

The interior was created in collaboration with Design Unlimited ("King Benji") and is of correspondingly high quality. The shipyard speaks of "sophistication with exclusive accents, the finest woods, fabrics and combined with lots of leather".
