Sunseeker Yachts Predator 56

In terms of luxury, quality, and flat-out performance, the Sunseeker 56 Predator set the standard for big sport yachts during her 2000–2004 production years. The Predator boasted an array of sophisticated features including a hydraulic swim platform for launching and retrieving a tender as well as an optional hardtop with retractable sunroof. Her expansive, wide-open cockpit is still among the class leaders for comfort and amenities, and the Predator is one of the few European sportboats whose engine room offers decent service access. Below deck, an elegant two-stateroom interior includes a full-width owner’s stateroom aft and a large guest cabin forward. There are two heads in this layout, and while most would view the aft cabin as the master suite, it doesn’t have a private head; there’s a salon entrance. A washer/dryer is located in the galley, and the salon is dominated by a full-length leather settee and plenty of high-gloss cherry joinery. Additional features include a teak cockpit sole, wide side decks, cockpit engine room access, and a telescopic passerelle. An excellent performer with 660hp Cat V-drive diesels, the 56 Predator will cruise in the mid-to-high 20s and reach a top speed of 32–33 knots.
