Sunseeker International has launched Sunseeker Europe after Sunseeker London and Sunseeker Poole filed notices of intention to appoint
administrators. The new operation will take responsibility for distribution, service and warranty support across a major international network responsible for selling more than half of the shipyard’s annual production. Groupe Beneteau is presenting 24 new models for the 2026–2027 season while expanding its Neo refit programme from 2 models to 8 as it targets the much larger pre-owned market. Plus, Fairline Yachts is doubling down on the 40–60ft segment with the Targa 58 GTO, targeting customers who want larger-yacht functionality with lower ownership costs.
