SUNSEEKER PREDATOR 108
Cutting edge model from the Predator range, the 108 is an unmistakable
Sunseeker super-yacht. Its design recalls the classic stylistic elements
that have made this boatyard famous all over the world; its waterlines, then,
contribute to comfort when sailing, a quality of every craft produced by this
English yard. Deck configuration leaves nothing to chance. The main deck is
available in two layouts, which differ in several details regarding the
cockpit and saloon.
In the first case the cockpit houses a central dinette
with table and perimeter seating and a sundeck astern, while the alternative
version has this outside area used for a dining/relaxation zone to port with a
galley/bar corner opposite. Regardless of the layout chosen, in the bows we
have a Jacuzzi surrounded by numerous sunbathing cushions. There are no great
differences in the internal layout between the two configurations and in both
we have a saloon astern, galley, dining area and control bridge. The Predator
108 also has an electric sliding Hard Top, nowadays a trend followed for most
Open Yachts, meaning that it only takes a few seconds to turn the area inside
the deckhouse into a cool, sunny zone. There are two layouts proposed for the
lower deck, with the owner's suite located amidships, to make the most of the
boat's full beam. This has an en-suite bathroom, office corner, relaxation
corner and walk-in wardrobe. Forwards of this there is a small leisure zone
comprising a sofa to starboard and an office corner to port, area that in the
alternative configuration is "incorporated" into the owner's suite, which also
enjoys a larger dressing room and bathroom with tub instead of shower. With
both versions guests have two twin cabins and a Vip cabin at their disposal in
the far bows. The crew's quarters are in the stern area with two bunks, a
bathroom and galley. The Predator 108 is available either with a couple of
MTUs with ducted propeller transmission, for an official maximum speed of 32
knots or with triple MTU motorization with Arneson surface transmission,
enabling an official maximum speed of 42 knots.
