Sunseeker 90 Ocean: 3,434 Gallons of Fuel and 400 of Water
Sunseeker gave the 90 Ocean 1,189 gallons more fuel than the 82 beneath it. It gave it four more gallons of fresh water. On a longer, wider …

Two hulls, four boats. Each Ocean length is sold open and enclosed, and only one of those two pairs actually differs.
Ocean is where Sunseeker stops chasing speed.
Four boats sit in the class, built on two hulls. The 82s measure 82' 6" with 21' 6" of beam; the 90s measure 88' 11" with 23' 6". Each length is offered in an open version, with the flybridge open to the weather, and an Enclosed one, with the upper deck closed in. All four run twin MAN V12-1650s at 1,650 HP a side.
They are the widest and heaviest boats Sunseeker currently builds below the 134 Yacht, and they are the slowest: 25 knots for the 82s and 27 for the 90s, against 40 for the Predator 75, which at 103,396 lbs is lighter than either of them. That is not a shortfall, it is the design brief. Width and tankage were bought with speed, and the Ocean boats carry 2,245 and 3,434 gallons of fuel respectively.
The structural thing to know before you compare them is that the two pairs behave completely differently. The 82 Ocean and 82 Ocean Enclosed publish the same figure on all ten specification rows, and four of the photographs on their two model pages are the same image file. The 90 Ocean and 90 Ocean Enclosed genuinely differ: 6' 4" of draft against 6' 5", and four cabins and four heads plus crew against five cabins and six en-suites plus crew.
So on the 82 you are choosing a deck. On the 90 you are choosing an interior.

82' 6" with 21' 6" of beam, 2,245 gal, four or five cabins, 25 knots. Volume, not pace.
Identical to the open 82 Ocean on every published figure. The upper deck is the only difference.
88' 11", 23' 6" beam, 3,434 gal fuel, four cabins plus crew, 27 knots. The long-legged one.

Moving Up the Ocean Series
82 Ocean — 82' 6" overall, 21' 6" beam, 6' 1" draft at full load, 164,531 lbs half load. Twin MAN V12-1650s, 2,245 gallons of fuel, 396 of fresh water, four to five cabins and four to five heads, 25 knots maximum. The two 82s are the only boats in the class without crew accommodation, which makes them the owner-operator end of it.
82 Ocean Enclosed — the same hull with the upper deck closed in, and the same figures in all ten places: 82' 6", 21' 6", 6' 1", 164,531 lbs, 2,245 gallons, 396 gallons, four to five cabins, 25 knots. Nothing separates the two 82s on performance, so the decision is about weather and season length rather than about the boat.
90 Ocean — 88' 11" overall on 23' 6" of beam, the widest flybridge in the range short of the 134 Yacht's 26' 1". Draft 6' 4" at full load, 181,440 lbs half load, 3,434 gallons of fuel, 400 of fresh water, four cabins and four heads plus crew, 27 knots. Two figures repay attention: it is 16,909 lbs heavier than the 82 on identical engines and still two knots faster, and it carries 1,189 more gallons of fuel but only four more gallons of water.
90 Ocean Enclosed — the same 88' 11" hull, closed-in upper deck, and the only twin in the class that differs on the sheet. Draft 6' 5" rather than 6' 4", five cabins and six en-suites plus crew. Count the cabins on the general arrangement drawing for your hull before you commit.
Our Take
People come to Sunseeker for the fast boats and then some of them end up here, and I think the Ocean class is the most misunderstood part of the range. Twenty-five knots on an eighty-two footer reads badly next to a Predator doing forty. It reads differently once you have stood on twenty-one and a half feet of beam at anchor with the whole family aboard, or looked at three thousand four hundred gallons of fuel in the ninety and worked out what that does to a season. These are the cruising boats. They were drawn that way on purpose and the speed figure is the receipt.
The advice I give on choosing inside the class is short, because the class does most of the work for you. On the 82, open and Enclosed are the same boat. Not similar, the same, on all ten published rows, and Sunseeker even runs four of the same photographs across the two model pages. So do not let anybody sell you a handling difference. Pick on climate: if your season is long or your weather is unreliable, take the Enclosed and you will use the top deck twice as much. If you are in reliable heat and you want the wind on you, take the open one and you have given up nothing you can measure.
On the 90 it is a different question, because the 90s genuinely differ. The open boat gives four cabins and four heads plus crew. The Enclosed gives five and six. That is the choice, and it is an accommodation choice rather than an atmosphere one. One warning attached to it. The cabin count on the Enclosed is worth settling for yourself: get the general arrangement drawing for your hull number before deposit, count the doors, and put the number on the contract.
Two things I would chase on any of the four. Get observed consumption at your real cruising rpm written into your own sea trial report with the load stated. And look at the fresh water. Three hundred and ninety-six gallons on the 82s and four hundred on the 90s, which is four extra gallons for a boat that is longer, two feet wider and carries crew. Water is the tank that ends your week. Put the watermaker in the build contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sunseeker Ocean series?
Ocean is the cruising end of Sunseeker's current range: four boats built on two hulls, each length offered in an open version and an Enclosed one.
The 82 Ocean and 82 Ocean Enclosed measure 82' 6" overall with 21' 6" of beam. The 90 Ocean and 90 Ocean Enclosed measure 88' 11" with 23' 6". All four run twin MAN V12-1650s at 1,650 HP a side.
They are the widest and heaviest boats Sunseeker builds below the 134 Yacht, and the slowest, at 25 knots for the 82s and 27 for the 90s. Fuel runs from 2,245 to 3,434 gallons. Accommodation runs from a four-to-five cabin band on the 82s, the owner-operator end of the class, to five cabins and six en-suites plus crew on the 90 Ocean Enclosed.
Why are the Sunseeker Ocean models slower than the rest of the range?
Because width and tankage were bought with speed, deliberately.
The 82s publish 25 knots and the 90s 27, against 40 knots for the Predator 75 on a hull roughly two thirds the 82's weight. The Ocean boats carry 21' 6" and 23' 6" of beam and 2,245 to 3,434 gallons of fuel, and they weigh 164,531 and 181,440 lbs at half load. Those are the numbers a speed figure gets traded for.
One detail worth knowing, because it runs against instinct: the 90 Ocean is 16,909 lbs heavier than the 82 on identical engines and publishes two knots more. Waterline length is doing that, not power.
Every figure above is a maximum. Get observed consumption at your own intended cruising rpm in writing at sea trial, and plan the season from that.
What is the difference between a Sunseeker Ocean and an Ocean Enclosed?
The upper deck is closed in rather than open to the weather. What that is worth depends entirely on which length you are looking at, because the two pairs behave differently.
On the 82s, the enclosure is the only difference there is. The 82 Ocean and 82 Ocean Enclosed publish the same figure on all ten specification rows, and four of the photographs on their two model pages are the same image files. Nothing separates them on performance, so the choice is about climate and season length.
On the 90s it is more than a deck. The 90 Ocean Enclosed publishes 6' 5" of draft against the open boat's 6' 4", and it publishes five cabins and six en-suites plus crew where the open 90 gives four and four. That makes it an accommodation decision as much as a weather one.
