Shipyard United Kingdom est. 1969
Sunseeker Yacht Charter
Robert Braithwaite borrowed £5,000, bought the moulds for a 17-foot sportsboat, and started building in 1969 as Poole Power Boats. He towed the first two finished hulls to the London Boat Show in 1971 and sold them off the stand. His younger brother John joined and stayed fifty years, retiring as Design Director in 2018. The company took the Sunseeker name in 1985.

About the shipyard
The boat that set the direction was the Offshore 28, drawn with Don Shead, the first cruiser of its kind built in Europe, aimed squarely at the Mediterranean but engineered for home waters. That is the whole British argument in one hull: a deep vee, because the Channel is rougher than the Tyrrhenian Sea.
That sea-keeping is the real inheritance and it is worth more on charter than any styling point. A Sunseeker will hold a comfortable cruising speed in conditions that would force an equivalent Mediterranean planing hull to back off. The yard has also never left Poole, which is unusual in an industry that chases cheaper labour.

Chartering a Sunseeker: common questions
- How many Sunseeker yachts can I charter?
- We currently list 115 of them available for charter, across 12 countries. Availability moves week to week, so ask us for live dates on any yacht that interests you.
- What size are the Sunseeker yachts on Boatcrowd?
- They run from 15m to 47m. Larger yachts carry more crew and more space per guest rather than simply more guests, so tell us your group size and we will point you at the right end of the range.
- What does a week of Sunseeker charter cost?
- As an indicative guide, the median weekly rate across the Sunseeker fleet we list is $54,000, a base rate before APA and tax. Size, season and where you board move it most, so a broker prices the whole week for your dates.
- Where is the Sunseeker fleet based?
- The Sunseeker yachts we list are based mainly in these countries, most common first: Croatia (15 yachts), France (13 yachts), Greece (12 yachts), Bahamas (10 yachts). Many cruise well beyond their home port, so tell us the waters you have in mind and a broker will check what is close.
