The Predator 65 SportFly answers a question Sunseeker buyers have asked for years: can a true sports yacht carry a flybridge without losing its edge? This model says yes. It takes the low, muscular Predator profile and adds a compact upper helm and sunbathing deck, giving owners a second vantage point for cruising and entertaining while keeping the deep-V hull that makes a Predator feel planted at speed.
Twin Volvo Penta IPS pods, available at 900 or 1,000 horsepower each, push her to 35 knots with the quiet, joystick-simple handling that makes short-handed berthing realistic. Fuel capacity of 3,500 litres supports a 750 nautical mile range at a relaxed cruise, enough for a season of coastal hops across the Balearics or the Riviera.
Below, three cabins sleep six, with a full-beam owner’s suite amidships and natural light pulled deep into the accommodation. The main deck flows from an aft cockpit to a social saloon and galley, and the foredeck adds a private sunpad forward of the screen.
At around 20.5 metres she sits in the sweet spot between weekender and flybridge cruiser: large enough for extended family use, small enough to run without permanent crew. For buyers who want Predator pace with the practicality of an upper deck, the 65 SportFly is a persuasive, versatile package.

Twin Volvo Penta IPS deliver the headline. Buyers choose IPS 1200 at 900 horsepower a side or IPS 1350 at 1,000, and the stronger package lifts her to a top end near 35 knots. Pod drives bring more than speed: counter-rotating forward-facing propellers improve efficiency, cut noise and vibration, and make joystick docking genuinely simple for a short-handed crew. The deep-V hull holds a clean line through a chop rather than slamming, and trim interceptors keep the running attitude settled. With 3,500 litres of fuel she covers roughly 750 nautical miles at a relaxed cruise, enough to chain together a week of coastal passages without anxiety over range. She is quick to plane and holds speed through turns, the handling composed rather than nervous.
The profile is unmistakably Predator: a long foredeck, raked screen and low cabin that give her a coiled, forward-leaning stance. The SportFly addition is handled with restraint, the flybridge kept compact and faired into the superstructure so the silhouette stays sleek rather than top-heavy. Up top sits a second helm, seating and a sunpad, a vantage point that transforms how the boat is used at anchor and under way. The aft cockpit opens to a hydraulic bathing platform for tenders and water toys, while a forward sunpad carves out a private lounging zone ahead of the screen. Hull windows and a contrast hull stripe keep the lines taut and modern.
Below decks she sleeps six across three cabins. The full-beam owner’s suite sits amidships where the hull is widest and motion is least, with large hull windows drawing daylight across the bed and a private ensuite. A VIP forward and a twin or double guest cabin complete the layout, each finished in the warm walnut and pale upholstery that define Sunseeker’s current interiors. Headroom is generous for the class, and the designers have worked natural light hard, with overhead hatches and flush glazing lifting what can be dark spaces on a sports hull. Joinery is yacht-grade, the detailing calm rather than flashy, in keeping with the brand’s move toward understated luxury.
The 65 SportFly earns its name through how it spreads social life across three levels. The main-deck saloon links an aft galley, a dining and lounge zone and the cockpit in one flowing space, glazing on both sides keeping it bright. The flybridge adds an entirely separate entertaining deck, wheel forward and a wetbar and seating aft, ideal for sundowners away from the main cockpit. Forward, the bow sunpad gives guests a quiet retreat. At anchor the bathing platform becomes a beach club in miniature, dropping swimmers and toys straight to the water. Few sports yachts of this length offer this many distinct places to gather.
She is built at Sunseeker’s Poole yard to the standards that underpin the brand’s residual values, with twin generators listed at 13.5 kW and a full suite of systems for extended cruising. At around 20.5 metres and 37.8 tonnes she slips under the thresholds that trigger commercial crewing and larger berths, so many owners run her privately or with a single crew member housed in a dedicated cabin. Options steer the final figure: engine choice, hull colour, teak coverage and audio-visual packages all move the price. New examples are configured to order, while a small pool of nearly-new Predator 65 hulls offers a faster route aboard. For a buyer who wants Predator pace with the practicality of a flybridge, she is a compelling, versatile proposition.
