Kind of you to say so. Thanks
That was a really thorough and great walkthrough. Beautiful yacht, and I love it. But if we need £500K+ worth of extras that seems they should've been there to begin with the original price is a bit of a bait-and-switch. Noone will order a barebones one...

But don't manufacturers always make money out of options/upgrades? Have you ever bought a new car?

if you cant afford the extras you cant afford to own it. running costs etc.........
I'm really happy to see the use of mirrors and detailing in this boat. It's a fine example of how contemporary styling can have a bit of flair to it versus just solid blank walls.
I know fly bridge boats are the “practical” pick but I’d take a Predator in a heartbeat. This is my favorite line from the major productions yacht builders. I love it
Yay. Hugo!! Awesome tour! You deserve a large glass of Rose for that tour. Sorry to hear about your ankle. You should have some sunseeker sea trials as a reward for all your efforts xx

I'd wholeheartedly agree but change that to a gin and tonic. 😆
Sunseeker has stepped up there game with the modern interiors
Looks very comfy inside. The fabrics, the windows, the amount of light in the saloon 😍
The finish details on this boat are extremely recommendable from the upholstery to the cabinets to the windows those detail lines and curves all follow each other and match up very wonderful.
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Just love this! Not sure how she would fair in Downeastah Maine but I’m willing to try her! So beautiful! It’s definitely the Bentley/Rolls Royce of the water!
Brilliant tour, very comprehensive! This is a very nice boat
Superb tour, thank you Hugo. What a beautiful boat, a no compromises wonder and I do like that lower dining area, a lovely cosy place if the weather’s grim outside or whatever 😁

Beautiful yacht!!❤️
Great to see new style trends use different wooden elements. Instead of something heavily lacquered and consistently polished.
Great tour Hugo, thanks. Well done for remembering the master en-suite 😆 Amazing boat and if I’d won the Euro millions last night it’d be on my shopping list!

OMG this crew cabin!

Very nice

Sunseeker makes the nicest coolest yachts. Like an Aston-Martin or McLaren, but way more reliable and durable. So like an Aston-Martin but they went the Lotus route and stuck a Toyota engine in it.
And I noticed they opted for the two refrigerator drawers on the bow so they'll always be a cold drink of in short reach
What a machine! Great extensive walkthrough, thanks Hugo👍I can think of only one thing I would have ordered differently but I know it's an XPS thing... To me exposed carbon fibre (weaves) feels just as cheap as exposed GRP. I love that it's there but please don't remind me. Nagging is done and this was Aces, thank you so much for your efforts 👌

Only thing I would change is to have a one piece windscreen
The BBQ is about the same size as the crew area.
You missed the owner bathroom/dayhead
19:05 more like the pantry for food provisions 🧐
As an XPS edition I was expecting a hideous bling palace below, but they've kept it fairly clean this time... just remove the pointless diagonal chrome strips everywhere and it would be perfect.
Swim platform BBQ... Those may be BBQ sauce bottle holders... Alcohol on the grill may not be the best idea... Your thoughts?
2:25 yikes! I bet it feels like closing the lid on a coffin from inside the crew cabin?
Great layout as sunseeker always does that. Impeded access with door open on portside? Where was the gyro stabilization?
Under that hatch was a AC unit.
18:30 probably fridge/freezer mechanics/compressor

They updated the 55 they updated the 60 they updated the 67 now it's time for them to update the 74 and the 76
No heads in the main cabin?

Beautiful yacht, but I would think if you cater better for the crew, you would get better service..
Don't know about y'all, but I'm a big fan of drop-down seating in the showers I'm very curious as to why the designers did not put that in the showers? Your thoughts?
The struggle is real.
Galley down so much better than at the stern
Only 2 cabins? Say what?

I counted three plus a crew cabin…
Finally a video by my boy Hugo! I thought you were off shwacking tangos in Ukraine and teaching them the art of long distance officer target elimination with a Barrett M82 and daisy chaining claymores. This yacht is super nice too.
Typical Sunseeker, in a good way, with design and speed as key selling points. The crew cabin for this size of a yacht though is surprisingly small. Would not attract experienced skippers, sleeping in a coffin back to back with a deckhand is really not a way to spend the summer. In many other yachts of the same length and style the crew quarters are more than double the size, very surprised to see this as you need at least a deckhand even if you are an owner operator.

An experienced boater can single hand this

@@MrSilus2000 as an experienced boater, and owner of charter boats up to 22 meters, I can guarantee you that a boat of this size is very hard to handle singlehanded, even with a yacht controller installed. Just a bit of tide or side wind and the approach is off, also you cannot react fast enough if something goes wrong. On top, no one who pays that type of money wants to be running around doing all the work, not just docking but also the cleaning after each day out on the water. Competitors at that size have really decent cabins for crew, and boats with the best crew cabins usually get the best crews.

@@MrSilus2000for handling on your own, probably 55-60 foot depending on type of boat and kit on board, for crew cabins for this size (75+) would expect as a minimum a proper bed with space around it (and above it) plus decent wet head for a skipper or deckhand, but many competitors have double separate cabins for crew anyway. Many modern 60+ footers have better cabins for crew.
A prison cell is bigger than the crew cabin and has more natural light. I would never want to be crew on this yacht. It nearly criminal!. For the rest a gorgeous Sunseeker like we are used of them.

Siapapun.....boleh pasang Poto Poto besar besar di depan toko saya........tapi jangan mempitnah saya jangan mempengaruhi masarakat di sekitar saya untuk membenci saya tanpa bersalah......!!!
Why does this have a 3 piece windshield when the 65 Sport yacht has a one piece windshield ? B.S. ! Sunseeker you got to do a better job of incorporating the latest glass manufacturing techniques on ALL YOUR MODELS !
Why use 10 words to describe something when you can waffle on for 100 words about croissants.
Poor crew on a 74
