The Southampton show comes at the midway point of boat show season for Sunseeker, with the company also due to exhibit at the Cannes Yachting Festival (9-14 September) and the Monaco Yacht Show (24-27 September).

In other Sunseeker news, MBM has learnt that the company will be undertaking its largest and most ambitious boatbuilding project yet.

Currently under construction, the 168 Sport Yacht isn’t due to launch until 2017 and it will certainly be out of our price range.

But nonetheless, this tri-deck model promises to be truly spectacular, with a 4,000-mile range and a maximum speed of 25 knots. Watch this space.
