After enchanting the French Riviera at the Cannes Yachting Festival and then at the Genoa Boat Show, the Sunseeker Predator 55 is ready to shine in Florida at the 2024 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The new 55-foot model just added to the Predator range will take center stage at the show, opening on October 30th. Alongside, Sunseeker and its US dealer, OneWater Yacht Group, will showcase an exceptional display of yachts, including the Superhawk 55, Manhattan 68, 76 Yacht, 88 Yacht, 95 Yacht and the Ocean 182.

The Predator 55 joins the iconic Predator range as a slick, stand out yacht equipped with a retractable glass and carbon fibre sunroof and powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS-950 engines, to reach speeds of up to 36 knots. This spectacular new model, which has already received significant praise since her European debut, stands alongside the shipyard’s established ranges - Performance, Ocean, Sport Yacht, Manhattan, Yacht and Superyacht, setting a new standard in performance, functionality, and design.

“A model that embodies all the strength of the Sunseeker DNA and British sailing experience: with the launch of the Predator 55, Sunseeker sets a new standard in the US market, working alongside an exceptional network of distributors, capable of always delivering seamless customer service. With the new Predator 55 showcasing Sunseeker’s diverse product portfolio and expertise, we will be presenting the very best innovations that only a shipyard like Sunseeker is able to offer on the market”, commented Sean Robertson, Sales Director at Sunseeker International.

“We are thrilled to bring this brand-new yacht to the US market for the very first time. This yacht represents the very best in luxury and technical excellence, and I have no doubt it will captivate our discerning customers. Our team is eager to showcase its unparalleled design and performance, and we're confident that this launch will make a significant impact in the industry”, added Bryan Braley, OneWater Yacht Group President.

The Predator 55 yacht stands out due to its distinctive new curved silhouette and sloping hardtop design, distinguishing it from other 55-foot yachts.

Powered by Volvo Penta IPS 950 turbo and supercharged engines, owners can build a specification that trumps anything you might expect from a hypercar. With 1450 horsepower behind the wheel, owners can reach speeds of up to 36 knots with ease. The engines delivering this power can be accompanied by Volvo Penta’s Dynamic Positioning System, Joystick Docking and Glass Cockpit which together provide incredibly smooth handling.
