The new Sunseeker 40M's exterior lines have become more elegant, but retained some of the yard's signature brutal features

The Sunseeker 40M was manufactured by the yard from 2002 to 2010 год. Her comeback in a new iteration demonstrates Sunseeker's intention to expand into the larger yacht segment, following its recent launches in the 30-35 metre range 

The new 2025 version of the Sunseeker 40М was unveiled at the Cannes Yachting Festival. The press was shown the first renderings of the yacht’s exterior. And although the information about the interiors and technical characteristics is not available yet, the yard promised to share it in the future.

Based on the exterior of the yacht, one can assume that she is capable of offering her owner maximum possible comfort. The 40-metre concept does not much in common with her predecessor, however, there are some Sunseeker signature features: a semi-displacement hull, a dynamic profile, complex glazing, smart deck layouts. All of it with true Italian sense of style and taste. Thus, the well-pronounced steps and the complex bow shape, as well as the architecture of the superstructure, are emphasized by the coloring, including black, white and champagne.

There are lounges on the sundeck, upper and main decks. One of the key highlights of the project is the pool at the bow and an extended aft deck.

Thanks to the sides that reach the second deck, the C-shaped sofa on the foredeck and the jacuzzi at the bow are hidden from prying eyes. And the pool is not just a tub of water. When the water is drained, it can transform into a seating area, so all you need is just add a few pillows.

The aft section is so spacious that it can accommodate a lounge, a sunbathing area with a couple of sun loungers, and there is still some space left in the centre, which can accommodate another jacuzzi if necessary. 

“We are delighted to be partnering with Francesco Paszkowski, a designer whose reputation and portfolio are internationally recognized. This collaboration embodies our commitment to pushing the boundaries of superyacht design, delivering our clients exceptional craftsmanship, style and innovation,” said Sunseeker International CEO, Andrea Frabetti.

Francesco Paszkowski is confident the British-Italian joint creation will be a success, too: “Together, we aim to create designs that resonate with discerning yacht owners worldwide, combining elegance, performance and comfort”.
