Sunseeker Yachts For Sale | Luke Brown Yachts
Today’s Sunseeker began back in 1960 when Friars Cliff Marine was organized for the purpose of building a small plywood dinghy. By the late 1970s the company had grown into Poole Powerboats, a small-scale builder of runabouts and sportscruisers. Recognizing the need to grow its business and wanting to expand into the international market, the company hired race-boat designer Don Shead. As orders for custom raceboats and Med-style yachts expanded in the 1980s, Poole Powerboats evolved into Sunseeker Yachts. By the end of the 1980s Sunseeker had become one of Europe’s most influential boat builders. One of the world’s leading manufacturers of luxury yachts, Sunseeker operates several production facilities building a range of yachts from 40' to 155' in length. Until recently, about half of Sunseeker’s annual production was exported to the U.S.
