About the 65 Sport Yacht
Performance Without Compromise.
The Sunseeker 65 Sport Yacht is one of the most technically innovative yachts in the current Performance range — a model that balances traditional Sunseeker design with cutting-edge composite materials, modular social spaces, and its most talked-about feature: the Sunseeker SkyHelm™. The SkyHelm is a patented helm concept unlike anything else on a production yacht: it can be used upright for standing low-speed manoeuvring, or lowered to fall perfectly into the driver's arms when seated low in the carbon-backrest helm seats, cossetted by an integrated centre console. The experience has been described as akin to driving a high-performance convertible supercar — the closest any yacht has come to that sensation.
The 65 Sport Yacht shares the same platform dimensions and Volvo Penta IPS drivetrain as the Predator 65 — 67'2" LOA, twin IPS-1200 or IPS-1350 pods, 35 knots — but the character is entirely different. Where the Predator is enclosed and aggressive, the Sport Yacht is open, convertible, and social. The modular layout philosophy means the deck and cockpit spaces adapt seamlessly to whatever the owner needs: serious passage-making helm experience, relaxed social entertaining, or full Beach Club mode. Three cabins including a full-beam master stateroom accommodate up to six guests, while a dedicated crew cabin forward of the garage completes the arrangement.
The Beach Club option reconfigures the vacated tender space after the tender is transferred to the bathing platform — creating a dedicated sea-level zone with direct water access, bar, fridge, BBQ, and free-standing seating. It is the most sophisticated Beach Club implementation at this size in the range. The 65 Sport Yacht won three awards at the Japan International Boat Show 2024, marking its status as one of the most critically acclaimed models Sunseeker has produced in recent years.
Key Features
🎮
Sunseeker SkyHelm™ — Patented Convertible Helm
The patented SkyHelm rises for standing low-speed manoeuvring with IPS joystick docking, or lowers to fall into the driver's arms when seated in the bespoke carbon-backrest helm seats. There is nothing else like it on a production yacht — an experience described as driving a high-performance convertible supercar on water.
🏖️
Optional Beach Club — Bar, BBQ, Direct Sea Access
Carry the tender on the bathing platform and reconfigure the vacated garage space as a full Beach Club: direct sea access, bar, fridge, BBQ, and free-standing seating. The most elaborate Beach Club available on any 65-foot production sport yacht — a genuinely transformative deck option.
⚡
Twin Volvo Penta IPS — 35 Knots, 750 NM Range
Standard IPS-1200 (2×900PS) or preferred IPS-1350 (2×1,000PS) on Volvo D13 engines. Up to 35 knots, joystick docking, and an extraordinary 750 NM range at 10 knots from 924 US gallons of fuel. The same proven platform as the Predator 65, with identical hull dimensions and drivetrain.
🏗️
Composite Construction — Weight, Performance, Light
Extensive use of composite materials throughout — including carbon fibre elements in the backrests, helm structure, and trim — reduces overall weight and contributes to the 35-knot performance target. The result is a hull that feels nimble and precise rather than heavy, unusual at 67 feet.
🛏️
Full-Beam Master + Crew Cabin Forward
Three cabins including a full-beam master stateroom accommodate up to six guests in luxurious comfort. A dedicated crew cabin forward of the garage provides crew privacy without intruding on the guest layout. Four en-suites complete the below-deck arrangement.
🌅
Modular Cockpit — Social, Sport or Sea Level
The modular layout adapts seamlessly — from a focused performance driving experience with the SkyHelm down, to an open social cockpit with the tender deployed, to full Beach Club mode at the water's edge. Space and flexibility for a family or a group of couples, configured entirely around how the day unfolds.
