2024 Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge revealed

The new model is based on the 6500 Sports Yacht but includes a fully enclosed upper flybridge deck with a glass bulkhead that can open to the cockpit below.

The extra space aft including the enclosed transom and extended swim deck make the new model ideal for anyone who enjoys jumping off the back of the motor yacht for anything ranging from snorkeling to water toys.

“Designed to excel in both open bluewater and serene sunset anchorage, the 6500 flybridge is a paragon of engineering for performance and master craftsmanship for onboard opulence,” Whitehaven said in a statement announcing the new model.

“Its extended cockpit goes beyond mere aesthetics, offering a haven for water activities and offshore fishing, making it the perfect companion for adventurers seeking exhilarating experiences.”

The amphitheatre-like aft section of the Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge includes an upper level with pedestal stools, a lower mezzanine level, and a wide cockpit framed in a deep bulwark. Both the upper levels have seats facing aft to focus on the action below.

But this is more than just a boat optimised for water sports, with Whitehaven’s attention to detail also focussing on the luxury level of living.

“Step into the exceptionally appointed aft galley, featuring full-size appliances, seamlessly flowing into the spacious entertainer’s cockpit,” Whitehaven says.

“The experience of culinary delights blends seamlessly with the joy of socialising in this thoughtfully designed space. 

“Ascend the beautifully hewn timber stairs, and you’ll find the flybridge – more than just a helm, it’s a plush and high-tech skipper’s station that also serves as an additional living and socialising area.

“Complete with a lounge, pleasant aft deck with seating, table, sink, and storage, it’s an angler’s or sun lover’s paradise where you can relish breathtaking views for miles and savour the unrivalled ambience.”

Below decks, the Whitehaven 6500 Sports Flybridge features a full-beam master stateroom with ensuite, with another two guest cabins. A fourth space can serve as either a guest cabin store room or butler’s pantry depending on the owner’s needs.
