The Famous Sunseeker

Sunseeker International, is a UK luxury motor yacht manufacturer founded by Robert Braithwaite. Their headquarters and assembly factory is in Poole Harbour, at Poole in Dorset, England. The company has been making motor boats since 1979.

I wanted to describe the company with their words, but they are too pompous. Anyway, Sunseeker seems to be the most famous motor yacht brand, to date. It’s disputable with Ferretti and Azimut, I know, but their business is better now, than ever. Sunseeker is an expensive luxurious brand, not suited for everybody. I’m sorry I have to say that again.
