Record sales at Sunseeker London

By IBI Magazine


UK yacht broker Sunseeker London has announced record sales of £8m in the past 10 days for six motoryachts, including three that were valued above £2m each. Clients who purchased the boats are said to come from a "diverse geographical area" that includes the UK, the South of France, Nigeria, Sweden and Greece.

"Contrary to the trend, we have advanced sales in the UK and in our other international dealerships located in Europe," says Sunseeker sales director Christopher Head. "Our substantial order book includes a number of the largest Sunseekers produced and includes vessels form 30m-37m which are being built to order at the Sunseeker shipyards in Poole, Dorset.

"These craft, together with advanced orders, will be handed over in 2009 and 2010. Other larger vessels in construction will be delivered in 2011 and 2012. As a result, Sunseeker London's total sales for the full financial year are expected to be "substantially above" £60m, claims the company.

Sunseeker London is the official distributor for new and pre-owned Sunseeker boats and motoryachts. In January 2009, UK boatbuilder Sunseeker International will launch three new models at the London International Boat Show at ExCel.
