1998 Sunseeker Predator 80 – Triple Arneson Drives – 47+ Knot Top Speed 

 

Refit 2024/25 | Triple MAN 1350HP | Williams Jet Tender Included

 

Among the most powerful sport yachts in her class, this 1998 Sunseeker Predator 80 stands out with triple MAN 1350HP diesels mated to Arneson surface drives, delivering jaw-dropping performance in excess of 47 knots. With a recent 2024/2025 refit, this iconic vessel combines high-performance pedigree with timeless British design and modern upgrades throughout.


This Predator was engineered to run. Thanks to her triple-screw Arneson surface drive setup, she planes quickly, runs flat at speed, and carves cleanly at high velocity. With hydraulic bow and stern thrusters, she’s surprisingly maneuverable for an 80-footer.


One of the most iconic and aggressive performance yachts ever built, this Sunseeker Predator 80 is a rarity on the brokerage market—especially with triple Arnesons, full 2024/25 refit, and turn-key status. Whether you’re looking to cruise fast, entertain in style, or make a statement at the dock—this is the one.
