Last week saw the well known UK-based builder Sunseeker Yachts move the completed hull of the first 155 Yacht within their Poole Quay facilities. The 47m motor yacht Sunseeker 155 is due to be launched in 2014.

The operation involved meticulous planning and execution with literally no room for error given the monstrous dimensions involved. As expected, the move went without a hitch and Hull #1 superyacht 155 is now safely in the ‘fit out’ stage of her build.
Luxury yacht Sunseeker 155 represents many ‘firsts’ for Sunseeker, not least of which is the fully painted finish she’ll be receiving later in the build. Because of this, a clear gel coat has been used in the hull construction, the resin showing through and making the hull appear brown in colour.

With the almost unlimited colour choice available, Sunseeker is keeping the finished colour for this particular yacht under wraps for the moment…
The Sunseeker 155 Yacht is the largest to date undertaken by the Poole Shipyard, which can now soundly lay claim to being the only production boat builder in the world to be manufacturing a range of boats from 40 to 155 feet in length under a single brand.
