The launch of this fun yacht is a significant milestone for our brand. Of course, the Predator 55 is one of nine world-leading yachts in the Sunseeker fleet ready to impress visitors at the world’s finest yachting event in the Mediterranean.”
Predator 55
The Predator 55 yacht stands out due to its distinctive curved silhouette and sloping hardtop design, distinguishing it from other 55-foot yachts. Powered by Volvo Penta IPS 950 engines that deliver 1,450 horsepower, this yacht can achieve speeds of up to 36 knots. Notable features include retractable glazing and a carbon fibre sunroof that exposes the sky above. The yacht boasts an integrated tender garage for a Williams TurboJet 325, a hydraulic bathing platform, and an aft sunpad. With newly styled exterior seating, the Predator 55 offers an expansive aft cockpit. The aft retractable doors seamlessly connect the galley side units with the cockpit wet bar, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor layout. There is an upholstered sofa, L-shaped seating, and a formal dining area with an expandable table for enhanced comfort. The foredeck features comfortable seating, a sunpad with integrated storage, and a carbon fibre sail canopy for sun protection. A gyro option reduces rolling at anchor, ensuring maximum comfort. The customisable interior layout allows for flexibility, such as relocating the main deck galley to the lower deck to accommodate additional seating and a rise-and-fallTV. The lower deck space can also be transformed into a twin cabin with an en suite, accommodating up to six guests. The Predator 55 introduces a brand-new interior fabric and finishes collection, developed in collaboration with Design Unlimited, offering a versatile colour scheme and materials palette tailored to each owner’s preferences.
