Join James Lumley from Sunseeker Southampton on a behind the scenes tour of close quarters manoeuvring a brand new Sunseeker 68 flybridge motor 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!
Please contact me for further information

That was really interesting. On a large boat I’m surprised how the wind has such an effect. That was a brilliant video James.
@TheVirtualYachtBroker
@TheVirtualYachtBroker 3 роки тому
Yup the wind is always something to watch out for, especially as newer boats have grown taller to give more internal living volume. Use the conditions to your advantage (not always possible!) and it makes it 100x easier.

@@TheVirtualYachtBroker Solo helming River cruisers for a few years now on the Norfolk Broads its amazing the effect wind can have on the taller flybridge cruisers. I can only imagine the issues some of these boats must have at times in high winds

Amazing video and great to see just how a solo person might be able to handle such large vessels, you make it look so easy. I would love to see more content like this giving you insights into what it is actually like to cruise and use the systems on the go if possible. I'll never be able to afford one of these unless the lottery numbers come up, but it is fantastic to get a peek into running them.

James - noticed that you mentioned that the 68 is going to Turkey which judging by other Yachty youtubers seems to offer favorable berthing and is still striking distance of the EU given the 90 day stay limit. Has Brexit influenced where boats will be kept in your expert opinon?

Beautiful boat and you make it look so easy. When it gets lifted out here - where does it then go for its onwards journey to Turkey? Southampton docks and onto a cargo ship? Just curious. At 9:30 you passed a smaller (30ft?) boat with some people sat on it - anyone know what that boat is ? (Galleon?)

@Dobermanator 3 роки тому
@@simonclifford9215 They were deployed from where it was originally docked. If you look closely when he peaks over the side you can see the lines coming from the starboard cleats, that's where the fenders are deployed. You can't see the fenders themselves of course but there would not be any lines from those cleats otherwise.
