Britain's biggest boat builder, Sunseeker International, welcomed HRH The Earl of Wessex last week to its manufacturing facilities in Poole.

During his visit, The Earl helped the company to recognise a sales milestone for its 76 Yacht, a model which launched at the Southampton Boat Show in September last year. The 76 Yacht delivers unprecedented levels of luxury, sociability and entertaining space and, with 35 yachts sold, is in high demand.

The 76 Yacht certainly hits the sweet spot in terms of size, space and superyacht feel whilst being extremely manageable for those looking to self-crew. Clever design maximises social and entertaining spaces, whilst the innovative use of glass enhances natural light, making this a bright and airy boat in which to relax and unwind with family and friends.
