New Releases at the London Boat Show 2013!

The London Boat Show 2013 is set to commence on Saturday 12th January at the ExCel Arena, London and is a great show to start the new season. The show does not only showcase some of the latest yacht releases from Prestige, Fairline and Sunseeker, but the very best yachting equipment and gadgets, as well as seminars from marine experts. With tickets priced from £10 and just £20 for a Champagne VIP ticket, the show is very well priced, especially when kids go free with a paying adult.

Two of the most exciting new releases come from the British manufacturer Sunseeker with the Predator 68 and San Remo motor yachts. The Predator 68 brings together all of the qualities from the previous model with its sleek lines, performance and comfort for 6 guests and 2 crew. Light has been maximised through the deck saloon, creating a superb lounge and all-weather dining area. Sunbathing fanatics will not be disappointed with great spaces to the aft and bow decks, as well as a hydraulic swim platform, making this yacht suitable to those who struggle with mobility. Top speeds are likely to be around 33 knots, with a cruising speed of 24 knots and a range of 300 nautical miles.

The San Remo luxury motor yacht from Sunseeker is a great all rounder, combining all of the qualities of a day charter yacht with the space and elegance required for those longer charters. Expect to see typical Sunseeker styling with sweeping lines, a classic or contemporary interior and great build quality. At 52 ft in length, this Sunseeker sport cruiser is said to be a joy for both driver and passanger and we predict this will be one of the most popular motor boats in its category.
