Our Thoughts

This 2014 Sunseeker Predator 60 (Gen 2) represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of British marine engineering's most celebrated designs—a 63-foot fiberglass motor yacht built for serious cruising, entertaining, and performance in freshwater and coastal environments. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pod drives delivering 900 horsepower each (1,800 HP total), the Predator 60 achieves a cruising speed of approximately 28 knots with a top-end capability near 38–40 knots, making her equally suited for efficient long-distance cruising and spirited day running across the Great Lakes and beyond.

Propulsion, Handling & Seamanship

The IPS 1200 drive system is the mechanical heart of this vessel. Unlike traditional shaft drives, Volvo Penta's integrated pod propulsion offers superior maneuverability through joystick docking control, dynamic positioning, and precise directional authority—particularly valuable for a 63-footer navigating tight marinas or anchoring in variable conditions. A Humphree auto-trim tab system optimizes running attitude across sea states, while a bow thruster and Glendinning Cablemaster add redundancy and ease to single-handed operation. With approximately 2,600 engine hours logged, the IPS units remain well within their service life, and the upgraded Kohler 20-kilowatt generator (4,023 hours) ensures reliable electrical independence at anchor or while cruising.

Freshwater Advantage & Documentation

Perhaps the most significant asset of this Predator 60 is her freshwater-only operational history in Chicago. Freshwater use dramatically extends hull and system longevity compared to saltwater exposure, eliminating osmotic blistering risk, reducing corrosion on through-hulls and propulsion components, and preserving gelcoat and topside finish. She is USCG documented with import duty paid, a critical consideration for vessels of this vintage and pedigree, removing regulatory and financial uncertainty from future ownership.

Interior Accommodations & Living Space

The full-beam master stateroom dominates the lower deck with a centerline berth, sprung mattress upgrade, mirrored headboard, separate ensuite head with shower, key-locking privacy door, and a 40-inch television paired with Harman Kardon 2.1 audio. Forward, a VIP cabin features a centerline berth with sprung mattress, TV with Fusion stereo/DVD/iPod integration, and dedicated head access. A convertible guest berth with custom filler cushion and 32-inch entertainment system provides additional sleeping capacity, while an optional crew cabin with single berth and head serves as a fourth cabin or crew quarters. This four-cabin layout comfortably accommodates eight to ten guests and crew—a major advantage for charter operations or extended family cruising.

The open-plan salon flows seamlessly with U-shaped seating, hi-lo electric dining tables, and Amtico Wenge flooring throughout. A 40-inch LED television integrates with a Bose V35 Lifestyle surround system, while dimmable LED lighting and added USB/110-volt outlets reflect thoughtful owner upgrades. The galley is comprehensively equipped with Galaxy black granite countertops, Sub-Zero wine cooler, Vitrifrigo refrigerator/freezer drawers, Whirlpool convection microwave, three-burner electric cooktop, Grohe faucet, stainless steel sink

2014 Sunseeker Predator 60: British Performance Yacht with Twin IPS 1200s and Freshwater Heritage
Overview
The 2014 Sunseeker Predator 60 represents a pinnacle of British yacht engineering—a 63-foot motor yacht built by Sunseeker International in Poole, UK, and purpose-designed for owners who demand both thrilling performance and refined cruising comfort. Powered by twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pod drives delivering 1,800 horsepower combined, this Generation 2 Predator achieves speeds approaching 40 knots while maintaining the efficiency and precision that define IPS propulsion. Freshwater-kept in Chicago and USCG documented with import duty paid, this example has been maintained to exacting standards with comprehensive service records and thoughtful upgrades throughout its ownership history. The vessel combines sleek Sunseeker styling with a highly functional layout suited equally to Great Lakes cruising, coastal exploration, or upscale day charter operations.
Hull Design and Structural Foundation
The Predator 60 sits on a fiberglass (GRP) hull measuring 63 feet 7 inches in length overall, with a beam of 16 feet 9 inches and a draft of 5 feet—proportions that balance seaworthiness with interior volume and shallow-water capability. Displacement of approximately 70,400 pounds reflects a solid, well-engineered platform capable of handling varied water conditions while maintaining the responsiveness expected from a modern express yacht. The hull design supports cruising speeds around 28 knots and maximum speeds between 38 and 40 knots, depending on sea state and loading, making her equally capable for leisurely coastal passages and spirited offshore runs. This particular vessel's freshwater history—a significant advantage for buyers concerned with corrosion and osmotic blistering—means the hull has been exposed to minimal salt-water degradation over its ten-year service life.
Power and Propulsion: The IPS Advantage
Twin Volvo Penta IPS 1200 pod drives, each producing 900 horsepower, form the mechanical heart of this Predator. The IPS (Inboard Performance System) architecture delivers superior fuel efficiency compared to conventional shaft drives, lower noise and vibration signatures, and dramatically improved maneuverability. With approximately 2,600 engine hours logged, the powerplants remain well within their service life, supported by an upgraded Kohler 20kW generator (4,023 hours) that provides robust electrical supply for air conditioning, galley appliances, entertainment systems, and hotel loads during extended cruising or anchoring. Integrated joystick docking control—standard equipment on IPS installations—allows the helmsman to command the yacht's position and heading from a single intuitive control, a capability that transforms docking, anchoring, and close-quarters maneuvering in confined spaces such as marina slips or tight anchorages. The Dynamic Positioning System further enhances station-keeping, enabling the vessel to hold position automatically in wind and current without anchor or thruster input. A Humphree Auto Trim Tab system optimizes running attitude across speed ranges, reducing fuel consumption and improving comfort. Bow thruster and Glendinning Cablemaster steering system round out the propulsion and control package, ensuring responsive handling in all conditions.
Helm and Navigation Electronics
The Predator 60's helm integrates dual Furuno NavNet TZtouch 14-inch multifunction displays, providing integrated radar, sonar, depth sensing, and compass data in a unified navigation environment. This setup supports serious cruising and coastal navigation with confidence, offering real-time weather overlay, waypoint management, and chart plotting across Great Lakes and coastal waters. Simrad autopilot and displays maintain course automatically, reducing fatigue during long passages. An AIS transceiver broadcasts the vessel's position to other equipped vessels and shore stations, enhancing safety in busy shipping lanes or coastal areas. Joystick control at the helm—integrated with the IPS drive system—eliminates the need for separate engine and steering controls, allowing single-handed operation and intuitive directional input. Forward and aft camera systems provide visual feedback at the helm and throughout the yacht via networked displays, invaluable for docking, tender deployment, and situational awareness. An Icom M604 VHF radio ensures reliable marine communication, while a Sanshin twin-beam spotlight illuminates the water around the yacht during night operations. KVH HD7 SAT TV with five receivers throughout the vessel supports entertainment and information access during extended cruising.
Salon, Galley, and Entertaining Spaces
The open-plan salon features U-shaped seating that encourages conversation and relaxation, anchored by a 40-inch LED television integrated with a Bose V35 Lifestyle audio system. Electric hi-lo dining tables transform the space from casual lounge to formal dining, while Amtico Wenge flooring throughout the interior provides a sophisticated, durable surface. Dimmable LED lighting with added USB and 110-volt outlets throughout the salon supports modern connectivity and ambiance control. The galley rivals many homes, equipped with Galaxy black granite countertops, a Sub-Zero wine cooler, Vitrifrigo refrigerator and freezer drawers, a Whirlpool convection microwave, and a three-burner electric cooktop. A Grohe faucet and stainless steel sink with ample storage complete a galley designed for serious meal preparation during extended cruises. The wet bar on the exterior cockpit—featuring a grill, refrigerator, ice maker, and sink—extends entertaining to the open air, while a 32-inch cockpit television provides additional viewing options. Blue underwater LED lighting (Aqualuma) creates an enchanting ambiance during evening anchoring or dockside entertaining.
Cabin Accommodations and Sleeping Arrangements
The full-beam master stateroom showcases the Predator's generous interior volume, featuring a king berth with sprung mattress upgrade, mirrored headboard, and a 40-inch television paired with Harman Kardon 2.1 audio. An ensuite head with separate shower and key-locking door ensures privacy, while two complete bedding sets and Sunbrella carpet runners maintain comfort and aesthetics. The forward VIP cabin offers a centerline berth with sprung mattress, television with Fusion stereo/DVD/iPod integration, key-locking door, and two bedding sets. A convertible guest berth in the salon area utilizes a custom filler cushion to transform the lounge into sleeping quarters, complete with 32-inch television and entertainment integration. An optional crew cabin with single berth and head—accessible via the salon—provides flexibility for additional guests or crew. This multi-cabin layout accommodates families, charter groups, or extended cruising parties, with each sleeping area thoughtfully appointed and privacy-conscious. High-capacity air conditioning throughout ensures comfort in warm climates and during summer cruising on the Great Lakes.
Exterior Living and Cockpit Design
The hydraulic swim platform—a hallmark of modern express yachts—lowers to sea level, facilitating swimming, water sports, and tender deployment while maintaining safety and ease of access. A tender garage compatible with Williams 325 or 345 tenders provides secure stowage for the yacht's auxiliary vessel, protected from the elements and integrated into the aft deck design. The spacious cockpit features U-shaped seating for entertaining, while a convertible aft sunpad and dining area transforms the transom zone into a flexible entertaining space. Foredeck sunpads and chaise lounges provide additional outdoor relaxation areas, ideal for anchored cruising or dockside socializing. The carbon fiber retractable sunroof—an upgraded feature—extends weather protection and shading across the upper helm and salon areas, enhancing comfort during sunny days or sudden weather transitions. This engineering detail reflects the thoughtful design that characterizes the Predator line.
Equipment Highlights and Upgrades
This particular 2014 Predator 60 has been upgraded and refreshed throughout, with all interior and exterior soft goods renewed in 2020. The Kohler 20kW generator upgrade ensures robust electrical capacity for extended cruising, while the enlarged blackwater tank (150 US gallons) reduces pump-out frequency during extended anchoring. Spare propellers are included, supporting self-sufficiency during remote cruising. The JL Audio multi-zone sound system integrates throughout the interior and exterior spaces, supporting entertainment and ambiance in the salon, cabins, and cockpit. A burglar alarm system protects the vessel when unattended, a practical feature for yachts moored in urban or busy marina environments.
