Sunseeker Superhawk 34

If you feel the need for speed then Sunseeker's Superhawk 34, capable of up to 45 knots, will be your idea of GRP heaven

As a sportsboat rather than a cruiser, Sunseeker consciously designed the 34 with a narrow beam and very sleek lines. This certainly enhances its performance and sets it apart from the competition, but you pay for it in cabin space.

If you want it all, then the Superhawk is not for you. In much the same way, you would never buy a used Aston Martin, when a Mondeo estate offers better loading space and cruising economy. What the Superhawk does have in abundance is feel good factor and excellent performance – here it excels.
