Following months of hard work from the Sunseeker team, the British launch of the stunning superyacht took place in Poole by the Formula 1 star, who was joined by Sunseeker International’s Group President, Robert Braithwaite. Not only was the team celebrating the launch of the yacht, but also the commissioning of the second 155 Yacht following a sale in Dubai.
As the biggest project ever undertaken by the British based luxury yacht manufacturer, the official launch was a monumental day for Sunseeker. With the design concept conceived in the UK, the build and testing phase taking place in Poole, it was only apt that the 155 Yacht was officially launched in Poole too.
Commissioned by the Jordan Family Trust, the first 155 Yacht has been the talk of the town since it was first announced. What is more, the bespoke element of this spectacular yacht has allowed Eddie to stamp his marque on it and create something truly unique to him.
With the 155 Yacht, Sunseeker has taken the concept of series building with personal customisation one step further with a modular build methodology which enables the owners to have direct input not only into the interior design and layout but the actual superstructure of the yacht. It also boasts impressive accommodation for up to 12 guests in ultimate style and luxury, while the forward lower deck area can accommodate up to 10 crew, with a separate captain’s cabin.
Beyond the impressive statistics it is the contemporary interior and exterior design which truly makes the 155 Yacht stand out from the crowd. Hull number one has a completely painted exterior, featuring a stunning ice blue hull. While the unique interior features an exclusive design palette which highlights gray, blue, green and an overall chic aqua feel.
The accommodation on the 155 Yacht is equally as stunning, with two VIP cabins on the main deck which feature ceiling to floor glass windows creating a dramatic feeling of light and space, as well as spectacular views.
The first 155 Yacht also includes a formal dining area with side patio doors, balconies for uninterrupted sea views whilst dining and a fully equipped commercial galley.
While the spacious and stylish private accommodation is clearly one of the most appealing features of Sunseeker’s flagship yacht, it is the expanse of entertainment space which makes it truly stand out. The upper deck alone features a huge sky lounge which can be dedicated to private entertainment.
Such innovative design is extremely intricate and the attention to detail in the 155 Yacht is second to none. The team at Poole have worked closely with Eddie Jordan to ensure his personality is reflected in the design but have also made sure that the trademark Sunseeker standards are evident throughout. With that in mind the 155 Yacht has undergone rigorous testing at the Sunseeker shipyard facility in Poole and in-depth sea trials to ensure that these standards are upheld.
Robert Braithwaite, Group President at Sunseeker International, commented: "The launch of the 155 Yacht was an extremely exciting time for everyone here at Sunseeker. The 155 Yacht is the biggest project that we have ever undertaken and the entire team has put a lot of hard work and dedication into creating this truly unique yacht and the results speak for themselves.
"We have created a truly iconic British yacht. From drawing board through to build and testing all taking place in Poole, the 155 Yacht is British through and through, so we were incredibly proud to launch it here in Poole with Mr Jordan," he said.
Blush, weather permitting, is due to set sail from Poole this morning for Palma, which is apparently going to be her new home port.
Although Sunseeker would not comment on that yesterday.
