THE WINNING FORMULA: SUNSEEKER OCEAN 182 WINS ITS SECOND INTERNATIONAL AWARD
Within a year of its global launch, the Sunseeker Ocean 182 wins its second highly prestigious award at the 2024 Yacht Style Awards. As the recipient of the 'Motor Yacht 27-30m' award category, the Ocean 182 emphasises Sunseeker's heralded design expertise, offering owners an exceptional amount of interior space without compromising on the all-important outdoor social areas.
The award reflects the global appeal of the Ocean 182 and its many defining features that suit vastly different climates and, most importantly, the owners who possess unique ambitions for yacht ownership. This award showcases Sunseeker's commitment to winning formulas that are designed to turn heads worldwide. Following its previous accolade for 'Best Layout' at the industry-renowned World Yachts Trophies, the Sunseeker Ocean 182 is now recognised on a global stage, winning awards for design excellence in Europe and Asia.
The awards ceremony precedes the exceptional Singapore Yachting Festival, taking place from 25-28 April. Sunseeker will exhibit at the show with its newly appointed distributor, DCH Marine.
“We are honoured to have been recognised at this year’s Yacht Style Awards, one of the most important award ceremonies in the Asia Pacific region.” remarks Andrea Frabetti, Chief Executive Officer of Sunseeker International. “The Ocean 182 has rightfully received an overwhelming international response with the first hull sold at its debut show in the United States. Embodying a floating penthouse, this yacht is a testament to our design capabilities and expert craftspeople.”
The Ocean 182 yacht, named after its gross tonnage, boasts over 2,000 square feet of interior space across three generous decks. The stunning saloon features a refined collection of loose furniture from handpicked suppliers, one step up separates the open saloon from the galley and dining space. This is truly a masterpiece of relaxed on board living.
The upper deck offers a spacious and luxurious onboard experience. With fully retractable sliding doors, the upper deck can fully close to create a third indoor living space or left open to form an al-fresco balcony, promising the owner ultimate flexibility. Powered by Twin MAN V12 1900 engines, it reaches a top speed of 27 knots and has a range of 1,100 nautical miles at 12 knots, equipped with a CMC fin stabilisation system for stability. Its glass-wrapped main deck provides uninterrupted views, while three main exterior spaces, including a 6m by 4m Beach Club, offer ample outdoor enjoyment. The Beach Club features a folding electric barbecue grill, speakers, and a hydraulic retractable SeaStair, with storage for water toys beneath the award-winning Sunseeker X-TEND™ sunbed. The foredeck offers social seating arrangements and a large sunpad, completing the yacht's array of luxurious amenities.
