At last month’s Monaco Yacht Show, UK-based Sunseeker and Dutch builder Icon Yachts announced a collaboration on a new 161-foot superyacht constructed of aluminum. The Sunseeker camp looked to Icon Yachts to help it build larger yachts in metal with big-yacht amenities. Icon Yachts had set its sights on Sunseeker for its sleek styling, lifestyle know-how, and its fan base. The new yacht will be a fast-displacement hull design and will be named the Sunseeker by Icon. This new venture will be built in Icon’s yard in the Netherlands, with naval architecture, design, and engineering by Sunseeker.

The 161-foot tri-deck yacht shares classic Sunseeker lines, with an interior that can be styled to each owner’s preference via Sunseeker’s bespoke service. Guests will love the plunge pool on the main deck and the beach club with drop-down bulwarks and transom that makes for a huge space for waterside relaxation. The 161-foot Sunseeker by Icon will offer five staterooms for 10 guests, with the possibility of a 12-guest/six-stateroom configuration. Hull No. 1 is scheduled for a spring 2021 launch.
