Great innovators don't ask for permission. They arrive disruptive and fearless, leaving everything that came before feeling a little less extraordinary. That's the kind of yacht Robert Braithwaite dared to create in 1969. Lower. Faster. Sharper. Soon they were turning heads in harbours across the world and expectations changed forever. Every new yacht was another chance to challenge convention. Day boats grew into superyachts. And what started as one man's audacious obsession became the wild spirit of Sunseeker. Some follow the tide. Mavericks change it.
