Sunseeker International will hold an exclusive celebration at Cannes Yachting Festival to recognise a huge landmark for the business — the delivery of its 100th luxury performance yacht in the 100ft+ “superyacht” category.

Owners and special guests from across the globe will attend a VIP champagne breakfast event on September 9 to celebrate this achievement, which the the boatbuilder says is a true coming of age for this iconic British brand.

The launch of Sunseeker’s first 100ft+ model, the 105 Yacht in the summer of 2000, was the initial step in the brand’s progress towards becoming a major player in the superyacht sector.

Since then it has taken the company less than 15 years to reach this impressive milestone, producing on average around seven 100ft+ yachts every year at its manufacturing facilities in Dorset, UK.

Sunseeker’s 100ft+ offering has rapidly evolved and now extends from the sleek and powerful 101 Sport Yacht to the majestic flagship 155 Yacht, with a diverse range of options in between.

The company also has several exciting new models set for launch in 2016, including the new 131 Yacht and 116 Yacht which have both attracted multiple forward orders from customers until 2017.

An appealing feature of every 100ft+ Sunseeker is the company’s ‘Bespoke’ service which enables owners to tailor the interior design and layout to their personal preferences.

This flexible approach has contributed to the wide array of international awards and recognition Sunseeker has received for its 100ft+ range over the years, ever since the debut 105 Yacht became the first British-built production boat to win two of the world’s most prestigious accolades – the International Superyacht Design awards.

Sunseeker says it is constantly setting new standards and benchmarks across its entire range. With the arrival of new CEO Phil Popham earlier this year, and the strong financial backing and support of its strategic shareholder Wanda Group, the company has ambitious plans to strengthen its position as the number one global brand for luxury performance motor yachts.

The company currently builds more boats 80ft and above per year than any other brand. To build on this dominance, it places a clear focus on innovation through an extensive new product development program aligned to world-class manufacturing and support services across the business.

Sunseeker’s CEO Phil Popham said: "Sunseeker is renowned for making luxury performance motor yachts that deliver innovation, technology, design and style. The breadth of our range is the world’s largest under a single brand, built upon a heritage spanning nearly 50 years.

"From our earliest model measuring a very modest 17 feet to our current flagship 155 Yacht, we pride ourselves on hand-crafting boats that inspire and delight.

"This is a momentous occasion which is truly worth recognising and I am delighted to be joining our customers and colleagues from around the world to celebrate our milestone of delivering 100 luxury yachts over 100 feet." More at http://www.sunseeker.com.au/en.
