About Sunseeker International
Sunseeker founders dreamt of building a new kind of yacht. Breaking boundaries in early design, we’ve revolutionised the motor yacht industry since our conception in 1967. We've always set our sights on the top of the ladder, using our passion and drive to trailblaze with innovation and energy.
Technical and design excellence is fundamental to the very fabric of being a leading yacht manufacturer. Company record-breaking new product development investments will double the Sunseeker range to 22 models by the end of 2023.
Expert hands and extraordinary attention to detail. Passed from generation to generation, these are the most valuable skills required to make a Sunseeker.
In an era of digital production and automated assembly, we stay committed to creating hand-built, hand-finished boats. With a workforce of c.2000 Team Members, the hustle and bustle of our Shipyards and workforce creates a place like no other. With long serving employees and over 150 apprentices in training, our Sunseeker family gives a true reflection of our local community.
