Sunseeker 100 Yacht

The Sunseeker 100 Yacht measures 98' 3" overall on a 22' 11" beam, draws 6' 10" at full load and displaces 219,095 lbs at half load. Accommodation is five cabins and six heads, plus crew quarters. Fuel is 3,381 US gallons and fresh water is 476 US gallons. Power is twin MTU 12V 2000 M96X at 2 x 2,000 PS, and Sunseeker quotes up to 30 knots.

It is the first accommodation step in the Yacht line. The 76, 88 and 95 below it all carry four cabins; this is the first with five, and the first with six heads. Beam grows to 22' 11" from the 95 Yacht's 21' 6", which is a genuine seventeen inches rather than the three inches the previous step delivered.

Two figures run against expectation and both come back to the engine. At 219,095 lbs the 100 is more than 32,000 lbs heavier than the 95 Yacht and is quoted faster, 30 knots against 26.5, because it carries the M96X variant of the MTU 12V 2000 rather than the M96L. And its draft is 6' 10" at full load, two inches shallower than the 7' 0" of both the 88 and the 95.

Engine output is quoted in PS rather than horsepower, which is the yard's convention throughout the range.

The boat is built at Poole in Dorset. It is the only flagship in the range presented with photography rather than renderings.

Sunseeker quotes up to 30 knots for the 100 Yacht on twin MTU 12V 2000 M96X at 2 x 2,000 PS. Thirty knots is a maximum. It is not the setting you will run.

The interesting part of this boat's performance data is the engine variant, and it is worth understanding because it explains an apparent contradiction. The 95 Yacht below is 186,731 lbs at half load and quoted at 26.5 knots. The 100 Yacht is 219,095 lbs, over 32,000 lbs heavier, and quoted at 30. The difference is that the 95 runs the M96L version of the MTU 12V 2000 and the 100 runs the M96X. At the top of this line the variant is doing more work than the displacement is, which is why cross-shopping on weight alone will mislead you.

The standard fit is the M96X, which is what the yard's own body copy names, while the M96L heads its specification table. Name the variant and its rating on your contract. The same habit is worth carrying across this brand: the first row of a specification table is one candidate, not a guarantee of what gets built.

On units, Sunseeker quotes output in PS rather than horsepower throughout its range, and on this model the PS label is explicit at 2 x 2,000 PS. Around 1.4 percent separates the two units, so a PS figure is not a lower horsepower one.

Draft is 6' 10" at full load, two inches less than the 88 and 95 Yachts. Fuel is 3,381 gallons. Take observed consumption at your cruising rpm at sea trial, on a loaded boat, and put it in writing.

The 100 Yacht is where Sunseeker's flagship line gets a fifth cabin. Published accommodation is five cabins and six heads, plus crew quarters, against four cabins and four heads on all three boats below it. That is the single most consequential difference in the range and it is the reason to step up here rather than to another four-cabin boat with more fuel.

The volume behind it is real. Beam is 22' 11", up seventeen inches from the 95 Yacht's 21' 6" and twenty inches from the 88 Yacht's 21' 3". For context, the two previous steps in this line delivered three inches and twenty-one inches respectively, so this is the second of the two genuine width increases in the range. Half-load displacement is 219,095 lbs.

Fresh water is 476 US gallons, the highest in the line below the flagship, though the increase over the 95 Yacht is a modest 14 gallons while the boat gains a fifth cabin and a sixth head. If you intend to run all five cabins occupied away from a dock, water-making capacity is worth settling early rather than assuming the tank covers it.

Against the cross-shops, the beam sits between the Riva 102' Corsaro Super at 22' 0" and the Sanlorenzo SX100 at 24' 11", with the Ferretti 1000 at 22' 4". On cabins, the Sunseeker's five guest cabins match the Ferretti 1000 and the Riva; the Sanlorenzo publishes its accommodation as eight guests and five crew rather than by cabin count.

This is the one flagship in the range shown in photography rather than rendering, so what you are looking at is a built boat. The arrangement that governs yours is still the general arrangement drawing and equipment schedule attached to your hull number, and those are worth reading line by line.

At 98' 3" the 100 Yacht sits in a segment where its rivals are unusually well matched on length and unusually spread on philosophy.

The Ferretti 1000 is 98' 10" on a 22' 4" beam, five guest cabins and three crew, 2,378 gallons of fuel, quoted at 24 knots standard and 28 with the optional package, with cruise speeds of 20 and 24. The Riva 102' Corsaro Super is 99' 3" on a 22' 0" beam, five cabins and three crew cabins, 2,378 gallons, and 26 or 28 knots depending on the MTU installation, with published cruise figures of 23 and 24. The Sanlorenzo SX100 is 100' 1" on a much wider 24' 11" beam, published as eight guests and five crew, 4,174 gallons, and 23 knots on four Volvo Penta IPS3 1050 drives.

On the published numbers the Sunseeker is the fastest of the four at up to 30 knots, and it carries more fuel than the Ferretti or the Riva at 3,381 gallons, though well short of the Sanlorenzo's 4,174. It is also the shallowest-drawing of the group's shaft-driven boats at 6' 10", which on a 98-footer is a genuinely useful number.

Inside Sunseeker's own line the positioning is clean and easy to state. This is the first five-cabin boat, the widest below the flagship at 22' 11", the second fastest at 30 knots, and the shallowest of the three large four-and-five cabin boats. It is also the only flagship in the range presented in photography rather than renderings, and Sunseeker is showing it at Cannes in September 2026.

The 100 Yacht fits an owner who needs a fifth cabin. That is the plain reason this boat exists in the line. The 76, 88 and 95 Yachts all publish four cabins and four heads; this one publishes five cabins and six heads plus crew, on a beam that grows seventeen inches over the 95 Yacht to 22' 11". If your guest list has outgrown four cabins, no amount of extra tankage on a smaller boat solves it.

It fits an owner who does not want to trade speed for size. At 219,095 lbs half load it is over 32,000 lbs heavier than the 95 Yacht and quoted four knots faster at up to 30, because it runs the M96X variant of the MTU 12V 2000 rather than the M96L. Of the four boats in its cross-shop group, it holds the highest published maximum.

It fits owners with a depth constraint at the top of the market. Draft is 6' 10" at full load, two inches shallower than both the 88 Yacht and the 95 Yacht despite being the larger boat. That is unusual and it is worth exploiting when you are choosing a home berth.

It fits a buyer who wants to see a real boat before committing. This is the only flagship in Sunseeker's range presented in photography rather than renderings, and it is being shown at Cannes in September 2026. The 134 Yacht above it is CGI only.

It is the wrong boat if volume at anchor matters more than speed. The Sanlorenzo SX100 is a full two feet wider in the beam at 24' 11" and carries 4,174 gallons against this boat's 3,381, and it gives up seven knots off the top to get there. It is also the wrong boat to run with five cabins full for long stretches unless you settle water-making capacity first: fresh water is 476 US gallons, only fourteen more than the 95 Yacht carries with one cabin fewer.
