Sunseeker 75 Sport Yacht Review (2025 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

From the pontoon the Sunseeker Sport Yacht 75 looks every inch the big, muscular sports machine it is. The hull wears a smart grey finish, a colour scheme that’s very much in vogue and suits the sharp Predator-derived profile perfectly. At first glance you could confuse it with the Predator 75, but the giveaway is above as the Sport Yacht has a neat flybridge, low enough to keep the silhouette sleek yet adding an entire extra deck of living space.

The cockpit has a wide sunpad - absolutely huge, more lounging platform than cushion, with a shower tucked nearby for rinsing off after a swim. Ahead of this sits a dining and lounging area, table on a hi-lo pedestal that not only adjusts but unfolds to double its surface. The whole aft end of the saloon opens up thanks to a drop window and sliding doors, so cockpit and saloon merge into one long social space. On some sister models you’ll see a bar unit here, but on the Sport Yacht that space is claimed by stairs leading up to the flybridge, a good example of how this layout differs from the Predator.

Walk forward and the deck design continues to balance form with function. The side door by the helm makes access easy, and out on the foredeck you’ll find broad sunbeds with a cabana framework for shade when needed. Deck lockers are built in and the anchor handling gear is neatly recessed at the bow. The cut-out above the forward cabin hatch is a small but thoughtful touch, making sure the hatch can swing clear when in use.

The flybridge is the real bonus. Sunseeker have kept it deliberately low-profile - so the boat still looks like a sports yacht rather than a bulky flybridge cruiser - but up top you gain another helm station, a proper dining space with a folding table, a sunpad that converts from seating, and even a compact wet bar with grill, sink, fridge and ice-maker. A rising-screen wind deflector, a bimini for shade, and a pair of drawer fridges finish the picture. From here the view down the starboard side is superb and the sense of extra living space is dramatic. From outside, the lines remain lean and sporty, but once you’re aboard it feels like a whole new deck has been gifted.

At the stern, beneath that big cockpit sunpad, the bathing platform lowers hydraulically to launch a tender, while a powered roller system in the garage hauls it in. Sunseeker reckon a Williams 345 will fit nicely. It’s a proper sports-yacht arrangement (garage and crew cabin back-to-back) and again, a big point of difference from the full-flybridge Sunseeker Yacht 76, which sacrifices garage space for larger crew quarters.

This mix of sunpads, social zones, clever folding tables and that bonus flybridge makes the Sport Yacht 75’s deck plan both practical and indulgent. It keeps the racy Predator stance but adds a whole extra layer of outdoor living

The cockpit and saloon really connect very well. The sliding doors push aside, the aft window drops, and suddenly it’s one big open space flowing from the sunpads right through to the settees inside. It feels almost like the back of the boat has been folded away. There’s still a handy little bar tucked beneath the flybridge stair - sink, fridge, a bit of storage and a bin, so you don’t lose out entirely on the galley-up facilities.

In the saloon, the height-adjustable folding table and deep, comfortable sofas make it a flexible living room. One of the neatest touches is the snug nook alongside the helm. At rest it’s a cosy place to tuck yourself away with a book, but under way it becomes the perfect perch to keep the helm company and chat as the miles tick by.

Overhead, Sunseeker have given the Sport Yacht a sliding roof. It’s not as vast as the glass panel on the Predator as that space has been claimed by the flybridge above - but it still opens at the push of a button, letting light and air in.

On the lower deck, the galley is a proper working area, with Miele cooking kit, dishwasher, fridge freezer and plenty of stowage. Crockery is racked in cut-outs with pegs so it all stays in place at sea. 

Opposite the galley there’s another small lounge nook with a TV - a second living area where you can flop in the evening and stick a film on. It’s a theme throughout this yacht: lots of little spaces to settle into, rather than one single gathering spot. Lighting and finishes keep the look modern and welcoming, with carbon fibre detailing in the bathrooms adding a subtle sporty edge.

Altogether it feels like Sunseeker have built the interior for people who like to move around the boat and find different corners to suit the mood of the moment.

Owner Cabin

Drop into the amidships suite and it's just palatial. It’s a huge cabin, properly beam-wide, and it feels every inch the owner’s domain. The headboard stretches right across the space with clever lighting set into it, throwing a warm glow that softens the whole room. There are also little nooks here too: places to tuck yourself away with a book or just sit quietly, a theme Sunseeker have threaded through the entire boat.

On one side there’s a dressing table, drawers and more storage, and on the other, a run of hull windows that are absolutely vast. Lying in bed with those at eye level you’d have an uninterrupted view across the water - exactly the sort of moment that makes anchoring out worthwhile. AV kit is all in place of course, and the detailing, right down to the lamp fittings, feels carefully chosen rather than just installed.

Forward, what looks at first glance like a walk-in wardrobe turns out to be the ensuite, also with its own hull window and a separate shower. The wardrobe is in fact tucked to one side as a completely separate space, with plenty of hanging and shelf storage. 

Guest Accommodation

Right forward in the bow is the VIP guest cabin, and it’s a very decent size. You’ve got full hull windows with opening sections, a hatch overhead (currently shaded with a blind), and plenty of storage. There’s a wardrobe, shelving, lockers that swallow kit, even drawers beneath the bed. A TV sits opposite, and a petite dressing table is built in. The en suite is generous, with a big rainfall shower, mirrored cabinets, and more stowage tucked away.

Aft of this, cabin three gives you another proper guest space. For what is fundamentally a sports yacht, it’s a lovely-sized room with a hanging locker, under-bed stowage, and shelves. The day heads sits right alongside, doubling as its own en suite at night thanks to a connecting door. Again there’s a rainfall shower and that smart carbon fibre detailing threaded into the joinery.

All told, every guest cabin has its own bathroom setup at night, which is unusual in this style of boat. Lighting is thoughtfully placed, hatches and blinds make it easy to control the mood, and there’s a sense that no one aboard gets the short straw. 

Lift the hatch and there are a pair of MAN V12s, 1,550 horsepower apiece. Big, serious lumps of machinery. And they give this 75-footer the performance to match its looks at mid-30 knots flat out, which on a boat of this size is very good. Settle her into a fast cruise and you’re looking at around 25 knots. Drop back to a 10-knot economical cruise and she’ll stretch to roughly 800 miles of range.

The installation is shaft drive, but Sunseeker link it up with joystick control. Engines, bow thruster, stern thruster - all married together so you can bring her alongside on the stick alone. 

The generator lives beneath the tender garage - you can actually see the moulded V of the tender’s hull above it - and the crew cabin is directly behind the engine room bulkhead. Hydraulics for thrusters and associated kit are neatly grouped and easy to follow. Fire suppression is handled by an automatic system, with a manual pull cable run to the deck. It’s the sort of thing you hope you’ll never need but is intensely reassuring all the same.

There are choices to be made when picking a Sunseeker of this size. Predator 75, Sport Yacht 75, Yacht 76 - all share the same hull, but the way the volume is divided changes how you’ll live aboard and how you’ll pay for it. Want the garage and the slim flybridge? That’s the Sport Yacht. Prefer the huge glass roof and bar module? Go Predator. Need full-time crew space and a proper flybridge? Then you’re in Yacht 76 territory.

Berthing and marina fees for a 75-footer are another reality. Prime Mediterranean or South Coast slots can run to tens of thousands a year, depending where you base her. Add insurance, which usually runs about one percent of the boat’s value, and you’ve got another chunky figure before you’ve even turned the key. Also whichever way you cut it, fuel and servicing are going to be big lines in the annual budget.

Maintenance is where the belt-and-braces approach pays off. This boat has neat sole hatches giving access to air con and plumbing, labelled lockers for fire gear, crockery pegged so it won’t rattle loose – all small details, but they make life simpler for the owner or the part-time crew. And crew is another consideration. The Sport Yacht’s aft cabin is fine for seasonal hands or a couple to help on trips, but it isn’t a full-time crew setup. If you want permanent staff aboard, you step up to the Yacht 76. Many Sport Yacht owners will happily run with a captain for delivery passages and family handling the rest.

You can ease some of the outlay by occasional chartering, though that brings its own hoops to jump through. And, while you won’t escape depreciation, Sunseeker’s strong reputation mean they usually resell quicker and at a firmer price than many comparable yachts.  Other strong models worth considering are the Princess S72 and the Azimut S8. 

The Sport Yacht 75 is exactly what Sunseeker set out to build - a big chunk of boat that splices together the drama of a Predator with the practicality of a flybridge, but without spoiling the lines. From the dock she still looks sleek and low, yet once aboard you find an extra deck of living space, a proper tender garage, and all the social areas you could want.
