Sunseeker Predator 68

The Sunseeker Predator 68 sits in the fleet as a proper sportscruiser: a low, planing hull built for speed rather than static comfort, with a cockpit and flybridge arranged for a day spent moving between swimming stops rather than sitting at anchor. At 20 metres she carries guests low to the water, so the coastline west of Puerto Banús feels closer and faster than it does from a heavier displacement yacht of similar length.

She works well for a group of friends or an extended family taking the boat out from Puerto Banús for a few hours on the water rather than treating the day as a formal event. Twelve guests can be comfortable on deck for cruising, swimming stops and a return run at sunset, though it is worth being clear from the outset that the two cabins below are built for overnight rest for a smaller number, not for accommodating the full day guest count if an overnight stay is part of the plan.

Because she is quick off the mark, the Sunseeker Predator 68 suits a shorter, punchier route better than a slow multi-stop cruise: out past the Estepona beaches for open water and a swim, or a straightforward loop back into Marbella Marina before dinner. Fuel use rises with the throttle, so if the day includes a longer run west toward the Strait of Gibraltar it is worth discussing realistic fuel and APA expectations with the crew before booking rather than after.
