Join James Lumley from Sunseeker Southampton on a behind the scenes experience of close quarters manoeuvring a brand new Sunseeker 88 Yacht. Sunseeker Southampton (a part of the Sunseeker London Group) - 41 offices across 20 countries, we are the largest Sunseeker distributor in the world, covering the majority of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Africa.
I am often asked what yachts are like to handle in close quarters, so took this opportunity to demonstrate how they can be positioned in tight spots, with minimal effort. We have a knowledgable team of training captains, who can take you from novice to expert aboard your own boat, so don't be put off by the daunting stories of how hard they are to drive!
A yacht such as this is a real proposition for those still wanting to maintain an owner-operator style of boating, with just 2 people onboard. She is equally at home with a full-time professional crew of 3, so the choice is yours!!
Please contact me for further information

James, dude, you are the man. Arm in a sling and you do this, wow. Having no experience myself I was intimidated at just pull her out of her original position but you did it as a prelude to flipping her over to the opposite of her original station. Very nice, very nice. When pot of gold comes in and I'm ready to join the ranks of the seafaring, I will want to join your piloting class, clearly. Good stuff. Good job.

James....these tutorials are GOLD. The drone overheads and the synced overlay adds a lot of value too. That said, I know how time consuming videography can be. There may be a boat in my future, and if so...we are talking. Really impressed with your knowledge and broad skillset. Thanks for the hard work! I'll be singing your praises at some point in the future bere in SoCal. 🙏

Respect James, you made that look a good deal easier than I suspect it actually is, today’s lesson, take everything slowly and have people watching at key positions. Thought the vid was great, with the drone giving a great overall view of the manoeuvre.

In truth no....but we can teach anyone (well most people!) to be pretty competent with their boat handling. It’s a blend of confidence and skill, but self belief is key.

Haha to be fair most docking is done with one hand...it’s just that my usual right one is currently strapped up due to a shattered elbow! Has been good practice these last couple of weeks getting used to doing it left handed.
@stephenscott963
@stephenscott963 Рік тому
Great job and video! If I may ask, do marinas not put any vessels beside you or in front of you in normal situations to let a vessel of this size be able to get in and out at any time? If you had same size vessel across from you on the bow, and one beside you, I can’t see being able to maneuver out or in? Thoughts? Thanks again from beginner captain!
@TheVirtualYachtBroker
@TheVirtualYachtBroker Рік тому
Hey Stephen, that berth we departed from is designed for a 45ft boat with similar size alongside. Opposite is for a pair of 55ft boats, so in a regular marina setup, there would be sufficient room to manoeuvre into place with space all around. In this instance it’s all my berthing pool, so I can pack them in like sardines as req’d (as we don’t move them around every day). It’s like a giant game of Tetris getting them all to fit sometimes! Some marinas are much tighter than others, Premier to be fair are pretty good at managing the space to make it as easy as possible for their berth holders.
@clivebrowne9888
@clivebrowne9888 Рік тому
James - always impressed with your handling skills. A couple of questions though. Firstly once you had the yacht against the dock why didn't you use the docking station on the rear cockpit. Secondly. viewing from camera from the drone we could see how tight the space was to manoeuvre the yacht. Wouldn't it be advantageous to be able to view those pictures at the helm whilst manoeuvring.
@TheVirtualYachtBroker
@TheVirtualYachtBroker Рік тому
Hi Clive, I tend to only use the cockpit controls when med berthing. When docking sideways on I prefer to stay on the flybridge, where the all-around vis is generally better. Usually we would have other boats alongside/in front etc, which are hard to see from the cockpit. I would usually have more cams out (or at least wave the hand held around much more to show what I’m seeing), but currently got a shattered elbow and main driving arm in a sling, so it’s a bit tricky doing too many things at once!
@garybeaumont543
@garybeaumont543 Рік тому
Would a boat of this size be any easier to move if it was fitted with joystick control? I mean from a learner point of view?
@TheVirtualYachtBroker
@TheVirtualYachtBroker Рік тому
Personally I prefer the independent control functionality but I totally get why some owners like the joystick systems. For me they feel less intuitive in how a boat should behave but I’ve grown up on boats. For those who drive theirs 5-6 times a year, if it gives them the confidence they need, then it’s worth every penny.

That was a DJI Mini 2, which is just so easy for this kinda thing. I shoot most of my stuff at sea with a Mavic 2 Pro, although I also have in the fleet FPV/Mini 3/S900/Ph2/Ph4Pro....I’m as bad at collecting drones as boats!
