Yachts and Cruisers
Power Boats

Powerboats range from small dinghies to massive, multi-million pound yachts that measure upwards of 30 metres in length.

Large, luxury yachts with sleek fittings have always been a symbol of wealth and splendour. With the price of the world’s most expensive yachts ranging from £15 million to a whopping £37 million, running a top-of-the-range power yacht is solely the reserve of the mega-rich.

The Virginian power yacht is one of the world’s most expensive ships. Measuring around 65 metres in length, this beautiful boat was recently on the market for £24.5 million, but can be chartered for £142,000 per week – fuel, food and drink are not included!

Sunseeker are the most high-profile and sought-after manufacturer of large-scale, luxury powerboats owned and sailed by the rich and famous. Sunseeker sell a range of luxury powerboats of varying sizes, but the jewel in their crown is the 36.5M yacht. Split into 24 different areas, this four-deck symbol of opulence can house eight crew members and will be furnished with natural, lacquered materials of the highest standard.
