  • Join James Lumley from Sunseeker Southampton on a behind the scenes experience of close quarters manoeuvring a brand new Sunseeker 76 flybridge motor yacht. Sunseeker Southampton (a part of the Sunseeker London Group) - 41 offices across 20 countries, we are the largest Sunseeker distributor in the world, covering the majority of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Africa.
    I am often asked what yachts are like to handle in close quarters, so took this opportunity to demonstrate how they can be positioned in tight spots, with minimal effort. We have a knowledgable team of training captains, who can take you from novice to expert aboard your own boat, so don't be put off by the daunting stories of how hard they are to drive!
    A yacht such as this is a real proposition for those still wanting to maintain an owner-operator style of boating, with just 2 people onboard. She is equally at home with a full-time professional crew of 3, so the choice is yours!!
    Please contact me for further information

    Excellent finally a Yacht channel that actually teaches you something instead of just opening
    drawers and cupboards and waving at yourself in the mirror.

      That's pretty unfair on Aquaholic which is who you're obviously aiming this comment at. Nick's whole MO is purely to showcase the design and functionality of vessels rather than giving people tutorials on how to drive.

      @@justininvestor Yes, because that's what he does and specialises in. He also tells you a lot about the boat? I don't get it? He details the engines, the interiors, exteriors.. you're judging his channel by expecting different content to what he makes?

    Love these types of videos showing you the whole start up and manoeuvre of large vessels. You make it look so easy and would love to see you set up the nav etc and take a boat out to show you how easy it can be done solo (if possible)
    Another couple of things I’d love to see is the process of how you go about speccing and buying your boat, also how the handover of a boat should be done from dealer to customer on delivery day (if there is such a thing) I know many owners wouldn’t want to be on UA-cam but perhaps a mock up of a boat handover?
    Great video again and looking forward to your next one whatever it may be 😃

    Thank you for another enjoyable and informative video James. It is clear from the ease in which you performed the tricky manoeuvres, shows a confidence obviously gained from several years of handling motor yachts. As a land-lubber who has never been on-board a yacht of this size, much less piloted one, it was nothing short of amazing to me that a 76ft motor yacht could be handled so easily with only small adjustments to the throttles and thrusters. I look forward to your next video.
