The Sunseeker Ocean 90 marks a significant evolution in Sunseeker’s design, embracing a beach club concept that sets it apart within their range. Officially launched at the Cannes Boat Show in 2021, this yacht has captured the imagination of buyers, combining luxury with innovative design and functionality.
Saloon and Galley
The saloon of the Ocean 90 stands out with its wide-open space, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling glass on both sides, allowing natural light to flood in and offering spectacular views. The space feels expansive and airy, providing a unique sense of luxury and openness.
The saloon is versatile, with ample space for furniture arrangements to suit the owner’s preference. It is ideal for social gatherings or relaxing with a good view of the surroundings.
The galley can be either completely open for a more sociable environment or enclosed using sliding panels for privacy. It features professional-grade appliances, including a large sink, dishwasher, induction cooktop, and ample cooling space with a big fridge and drawer fridges. A side door provides easy access for crew, ensuring they can serve the decks without disturbing guests.
Helm Station
The helm station is both functional and luxurious, offering excellent forward visibility, though port-side visibility is limited when the galley is closed off, necessitating crew assistance for port maneuvers. It is equipped with large Simrad MFDs and the C-Mate system for comprehensive control. It also features slots for an iPad and induction charging for mobile devices. The helm seats are luxurious, with multi-adjustable features and comfortable footrests.
Lower Deck
The lower deck layout is unique and highly functional.
The guest cabins are accessed via a transverse lobby, providing flexibility in bed arrangements (double or twin). Each cabin includes an ensuite bathroom and ample storage space.
Positioned forward of the guest cabins and crew quarters, the full-beam master suite ensures quiet and privacy, away from the machinery spaces. It includes a large wardrobe, a bureau, a sofa, a mirrored TV, and a luxurious bathroom with a separate shower cubicle.
Located separately with access from the helm, the VIP cabin offers privacy for guests. It features large windows, a TV, and an ensuite bathroom.
Beach Club and Cockpit
The beach club concept is a highlight of the Ocean 90. A fixed section and a hydraulic platform allow for easy water access and tender storage. There is ample space for sun pads, bean bags, and a canopy. The area includes options like a barbecue, making it a perfect party platform. The cockpit features a clever extendable seating mechanism that can face either the cockpit or the water, enhancing versatility and comfort.
Foredeck
The foredeck, although not the longest, offers practical and luxurious features. It includes deep lockers for covers and fenders, sociable seating arrangement with tables on either side, pop-up lights, and adjustable sunbeds. The twin anchors with split anchor lockers ensure effective anchoring.
Flybridge
The flybridge is impressively spacious, significantly larger than the 88 Yacht’s flybridge. It includes a huge hardtop with a canvas sunroof, comfortable lounging spaces with built-in headrests and cushions, and a large chill-out area. The upper helm offers a traditional flybridge design with close and accessible controls.
Crew Area
The crew quarters are designed for comfort and efficiency. The mess area includes a dinette, microwave, sink, television, and storage. There are two twin cabins with bunk beds, an ensuite shower room, and washer/dryer facilities. The crew has direct access to the engine room through a watertight door, with another hatch in the cockpit for quick entry.
Performance and Handling
The Ocean 90 maintains Sunseeker’s reputation for sporty handling. Most models are equipped with twin MAN 1900 horsepower V12s, providing a top speed of 28 knots and a cruising range of around 500 nautical miles at 20 knots. Even at full speed, sound readings remain low, ensuring a quiet and refined cruising experience. The boat offers a good balance of performance and long-range efficiency.
Conclusion
The Sunseeker Ocean 90 is a phenomenal blend of luxury, innovation, and performance. Its standout beach club, versatile spaces, and impressive flybridge make it a perfect choice for those seeking a superyacht-like experience. Whether at anchor or cruising, the Ocean 90 delivers exceptional comfort, style, and functionality, making it a truly remarkable addition to the Sunseeker fleet.
