With an overall length of 30.82 metres, and at 7.15 metres over waterline, it’s a very decent sized yacht. With a choice of engines (either 1826PS or 2000PS), you can cruise at speeds between 22 – 25 knots (with a maximum speed of 30 knots). This gives the Sunseeker 105 a range of up to 600 miles at cruising speed, or a range of 1200 miles at 12 knots – perfect for a long, relaxing cruise.
There’s plenty of space on board, with accommodation for up to 10 guests, including owners and VIP staterooms, as well as crew accommodation for up to 6 members (dependant on layout). Air conditioning throughout and a spacious main saloon - with sofa seating areas, bar and dining - means they’ll always be comfortable, and most importantly, relaxed.
The legendary classic 80.2 metre Talitha G motor yacht from Edmiston epitomises sheer elegance and style. The yacht’s interior has the look and feel of a relaxed and slightly bohemian stately home, impeccable to the finest detail - with such exquisite opulence as open fireplaces and inlaid marquetry. At the same time every contemporary luxury has been thought of, including a Jacuzzi on the top deck and an up to the minute entertainment system.
The two Caterpillar 2,820hp engines allow a cruising speed of 14 knots while consuming fuel at a rate of 400 litres an hour. Up to 12 guests and 18 crew members can enjoy the smooth ride through the wide ocean with Talitha G. Whilst cruising, guests can relax on deck; work up a sweat in the on board gym; or swim, snorkel and surf from this fantastic recreational yacht.

Ferretti 880
It’s not the size that counts, as Ferretti prove with their luxurious 880 yacht. The 27 metre super yacht offers an unbeatable high-class motor boating experience through wide, beautiful spaces.
Whatever surroundings you’re sailing past, however, cannot match the quality of the interiors of the 880.
The cockpit was designed to house a large round table, providing room for 8 – 10 guests. Adjacent to the cockpit, we find the large saloon, which offers a pleasant area for conversation with two comfortable sofas and armchairs. On the sunbathing platform, there’s a large round tub with positioned hydro-massage jets in the centre – so all guests utilising the platform, sunbathers and spa lovers alike, can comfortably chat.
A well equipped cocktail bar area has been carved out at the back of the co-pilot house for your guests to enjoy a refreshing drink - but if they’d prefer to ‘get in the big drink’, this area opens up to provide an enormous swimming platform. The spacious kitchen is located on the main bridge, and includes a central food peninsula for easy food preparation, as well as a quick breakfast for your guests - who would have slept in one of the four comfortable cabins.
The performance doesn’t disappoint either, with the two MTU 2030 CV motors capable of reaching a cruising speed of 27 knots, with a maximum speed of 30 knots. All in all, a well-balanced luxury yacht.

This year’s summer saw the arrival of the new Pershing 62, a luxurious 19.46 metre yacht built around the foundations of privacy and comfort. The VIP cabin (which includes an en-suite bathroom) is totally separate to the owners’ family area, thanks to its position at the centre of the boat, and has direct access to the upper lounge.
The area reserved for the owners’ family, with separate access to the upper lounge, is divided into a galley-dinette, master cabin and second double cabin – each of which are fitted with en-suite bathrooms. Privacy prevails on the upper deck too, with the open cockpit divided into two separate living areas. Inside, the lounge is divided into the technical area with seats for the pilot and co-pilot, and a living area fitted with spacious sofas – plenty of room to fit the maximum capacity of 16 people on board.
Driven by twin 1500 horsepower MAN engines and ASD 14L surface propellers, the Pershing 62 can reach a maximum speed of up to 47 knots, and can cruise comfortably at 42 knots – for a maximum range of 305 nautical miles and 365 nautical miles respectively.

Modestly sized at 26.02 metres, the Riva Opera 85 still commands enough respect to be deemed the title of “Queen of the Sea”. It features a large sized cockpit, generous stern-garage to receive a tender or a jet ski, spacious window, and an expertly designed main bridge with wide space for the kitchen. All the family, guest and crew areas are so spacious, you wonder how they managed to squeeze it all in! Truly proves that Riva are experts at the art of ship making.
The luxurious accommodations aren’t let down by the performance either – two 2000Mhp engines allows this vessel to reach a maximum speed of 34 knots for a maximum range of 280 nautical miles, and a cruising speed of 31 knots for a maximum range of 310 nautical miles.
