Sunseeker 88 Yacht

Sunseeker will stage the US debuts of its 88 Yacht and Manhattan 68 Pacific at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show from October 26-30. The Pacific version of the Manhattan 68 has proved popular across international markets since it was developed by the British builder with its Hong Kong dealer NextWave Yachting.

Sunseeker USA Sales and US distributor OneWater Yacht Group will manage a six-boat display on E-dock, which will also include the Fort Lauderdale debuts of the Manhattan 55, 65 Sport Yacht and Predator 65, as well as the return of the 76 Yacht.

“We have an ever-growing display of incredible new models and are looking forward to showcasing for the very first time the exquisite 88 Yacht and the Manhattan 68 Pacific, which is already in huge demand given its gorgeous saloon layout, perfect for the US boater.”

Fellow British builder Fairline is staging the US debut of its upgraded Squadron 68, following the world premiere of the flagship at last month’s Cannes Yachting Festival in southern France. Fairline’s display with dealer Nautical Ventures also includes the F//Line 33, the shipyard’s smallest and fastest yacht.

Paul Grys, CEO of Fairline, said: “With this exciting remodel, the Squadron 68 offers increased practicality and even greater comfort. Our interior designers have given us a modern but classically timeless feel to the interior spaces, which sets the tone for future Fairline models. We’re excited for our US customers to see it for the first time at Fort Lauderdale.”
