About the Superhawk 55
A New Standard for Speed & Style
The Sunseeker Superhawk 55 is not simply a new model — it is the revival and reinvention of one of the most storied names in British performance yachting. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D11 IPS 950 engines matched with a hull form designed specifically around IPS propulsion, the Superhawk 55 delivers up to 38 knots with an agility and precision that belies its 56-foot length. Winner of Best Exterior Design at the 2023 World Yachts Trophies, the Superhawk 55 is unambiguously the finest open performance yacht in its segment.
The full-beam aft cockpit is the social centrepiece of the Superhawk 55 — a configurable space designed around a central wet bar with integrated appliances, multiple seating configurations in premium upholstery, and generous teak decking flowing aft to the expansive swim platform. The centreline triple helm is positioned amidships behind a stainless-capped curved windscreen that delivers completely uninterrupted views and full protection from the elements. Dual glassbridge displays, chrome multi-purpose dials, and charging pads complete a helm that is as capable as it is refined. Pantograph doors to port and starboard deliver walk-around access typical of a vessel twice the size.
Below, the Superhawk 55 steps down into a highly luxurious open-plan lobby and galley finished in curved wood and lacquer under LED lighting. Forward, the VIP cabin offers a large bed, en-suite, upholstered side units and wardrobe — with interior styling palettes personalised to each owner. The aft master cabin features sliding berths for double or twin configuration and a generous en-suite framed in black lacquer panels. Every inch of the Superhawk 55 is built to the standard of a yacht half again its price.
