Sunseeker Unveils Spectacular Ocean 460: A New Era of Superyacht Innovation

In September 2022, Sunseeker International made waves in the superyacht industry with the reveal of the Ocean 460, a striking new tri-deck, semi-displacement superyacht that exemplifies both innovation and elegance. Designed with a radical vision, this 42-metre masterpiece introduces a new chapter in Sunseeker’s growing superyacht portfolio and offers owners an unprecedented level of space, luxury, and design flexibility.

A Bold New Design Philosophy

Unlike traditional yacht naming conventions that reference length, the Ocean 460 takes its name from its gross tonnage—460 GT—highlighting its extraordinary interior volume. With a beam of 31 feet, this model delivers over 25% more space than the 131 Yacht, despite similar overall length, ushering in a new era for Sunseeker’s design strategy.

Its round-bilge semi-displacement hull and bold vertical bow support both stunning aesthetics and enhanced performance. The result? A superyacht that combines sweeping, futuristic lines with expansive living spaces that rival vessels far larger in size.

Exceptional Layout and Performance

The Ocean 460’s tri-deck configuration and asymmetrical split-level Beach Club transform every inch of space into usable luxury. A choice of MAN 12V engines deliver a top speed of 21 knots, while an optional hybrid powertrain offers a silent running mode and extended range of up to 3,200 nautical miles at cruising speed—perfect for long-distance explorations.

Whether docked or underway, this yacht ensures an experience of quiet comfort, fuel efficiency, and exceptional seaworthiness.

The Sky Lounge and Upper Deck: Custom Luxury

At the heart of the yacht’s social offerings is the Sky Lounge—a vast, multifunctional space with panoramic views. This area can be tailored to the owner’s preferences, with options for wet bars, custom furniture, alfresco dining, and flexible lounging zones.

The upper aft deck offers a unique opportunity for customization: owners may choose either an expansive penthouse-style master suite with a private veranda or a generous aft saloon area, depending on their desired onboard lifestyle.

Grand Entrance and Elevated Interiors

Guests are welcomed aboard through a spacious side lobby that leads to a sculptural staircase spanning all decks. The main deck features a large saloon and dining area aft, while the forward section houses a palatial, full-beam Master Stateroom with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a true boutique hotel ambiance.

This master suite also includes a couture walk-in wardrobe, dedicated office space, a freestanding bath, and fully customizable décor options—ranging from serene minimalism to opulent glamour.

Refined Guest and Crew Accommodation

On the lower deck, the Ocean 460 offers four large guest cabins—each with en suite facilities and flexible twin/double configurations. For maximum service and charter potential, the crew quarters include four en suite cabins, a spacious mess, laundry area, and an optional captain’s cabin adjacent to the bridge.

Every corner of the yacht is designed for long-term liveability and operational efficiency, ensuring crew can deliver seamless service while maintaining guest privacy.

The Ultimate Beach Club Experience

The aft of the yacht unveils a showstopping split-level Beach Club, with direct water access and abundant entertaining zones. From the hydraulic swim platform to the fold-out balcony at water level, this area is ideal for sunbathing, socializing, or launching the full suite of water toys.

There’s even space for a Williams DieselJet 625 tender, two jet skis, and various inflatables and gear—securely stored in the starboard-side tender garage.

An optional spa pool recessed into the deck and integrated bar seating make this one of the most lavish Beach Club designs on any 42-metre yacht today.

Interior Style by Design Unlimited & Sunseeker

The interior of the Ocean 460 is a collaborative triumph between Design Unlimited and Sunseeker’s in-house team, presenting a blend of modern refinement and tactile luxury. A spectrum of finish materials—rich woods, soft leathers, textured fabrics, and handpicked natural stone—enable owners to tailor every detail.

With enhanced lighting integration and ambient controls, each space flows seamlessly into the next, offering a truly immersive and indulgent onboard experience.

Designed for Exploration and Enjoyment

Sunseeker has carefully engineered the Ocean 460 for owners who wish to spend more time on board, with every feature crafted for long-haul cruising and extended stays. From its engineering integrity to intuitive guest flow, this yacht combines performance and personality with a vision that is undeniably Sunseeker.

As CEO Andrea Frabetti remarks:

“Although a superyacht, the lines of this new 42-metre model are truly perfect—beautiful, powerful and graceful, all in the same breath. Clients will be spell-bound by this new direction.”
