LUXURY motor yachts manufacturer Sunseeker International received a trio of wins at the World Yachts Trophies 2021 by Yachts France Magazine for three of its latest models.

The 65 Sport Yacht won the award for the Best Exterior Design in the 64’ – 80’ category, the 88 Yacht won the award for the Best Exterior Design in the 80’ – 98’ category and the 90 Ocean won the award for the Best Layout in the 80’ – 98’ category.

CEO of Sunseeker International Andrea Frabetti said: “The influential awards we see today, are a result of the journey we started decades ago via the team that John Braithwaite built.

“Whilst the talented group of over 100 designers and engineers has grown over the years, there is continuity in our design language that John was so influential in developing.

“To win not one, but three awards, is an incredible achievement for the company. These fantastic new models have been justifiably recognised for their remarkable features, innovation, cutting-edge design and technical excellence.”

From its manufacturing base in Poole, Sunseeker employs around 2,000 people and produces around 150 boats every year ranging from 38 feet to 161 feet in length.

The luxury boat builder says it has an order book worth more than £400million, with interest from around the world in its new yachts.

Mr Frabetti added: “This is the culmination of a great deal of hard work, talent and passion by the entire workforce; the credit rests with each and every one of them.

“These three cutting-edge yachts are part of the ‘Sunseeker Famous Five’ that the company launched earlier in the year and are now receiving critical acclaim and sales the world over as they make numerous show debuts.”
