Practical though all of this is, it's good to see that the Predator 55 is designed with fun in mind too. The union flag motif of the steel transom gates, for instance, is very slick. Motor Boat & Yachting Alex Smith - Dec 2024

About

This is the first Predator in its class to switch to Volvo IPS, bringing joystick control, a lower noise profile, and better engine access aft. The tender garage replaces crew quarters, with space for a Williams 325 and a hydraulic platform above. On deck, the cockpit links to the saloon in one clean line, with a carbon fibre sunroof that opens above the helm and fills the space with natural light. Layouts vary by build, with galley up or down, and a third cabin that can be paired with a utility room or private ensuite. A full-beam owner’s suite sits midships, and the forward VIP uses scissor-action berths to convert between twin and double. Top speed is around 35 knots, with steady cruising in the mid-20s. It suits hands-on owners who want space to stay aboard and the confidence to drive it themselves.

From The Manufacturer

The Sunseeker Predator 55 is a striking member of Sunseeker’s iconic Predator range. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS-950 engines, this 55-foot yacht delivers impressive performance with top speeds reaching up to 36 knots.

A defining feature of the Predator 55 is its retractable glass and carbon fibre sunroof. Measuring 2.5m x 3m, the electrically operated sunroof glides aft at the touch of a button via the helm console, opening the space to the sky above. This, combined with expansive glazing and a sweeping, double-curved single-piece windshield, creates a light-filled interior and a commanding exterior aesthetic.

A single-level main deck comprises a generous saloon and L-shaped galley .The galley side units connect with the linear cockpit wet bar so that with the patio door opened to port, there is an uninterrupted connection between inside and outside.

The main deck galley can be moved to the lower deck and replaced with a sofa and rise-and-fall TV. With this option, the lower galley replaces the lower saloon and storage or utility room. This space can also be specified as an optional twin cabin with en suite providing accommodation for up to six guests in comfort.

Deep, useful foredeck storage
Easy to handle

The Predator 55 Mk2 is a product of discipline, with a focus on making what matters work well - the helm, the hull, the flow of space, the things people touch and rely on.
