Sunrays (Ex-Y-705)

LENGTH: 280ft. 6in. (85.5m)
SHIPYARD: Oceanco, Holland
YEAR: 2010

Like its predecessor, Vibrant Curiosity, the yacht is based on the tried-and-true Oceanco platform and features naval architecture by Azure. Bjorn Johansson Design gave the yacht its appealing styling. The interior is by Terence Disdale. Flexibility and privacy were two driving forces in the choice of the arrangements. The owners have a great suite and a private deck with Jacuzzi. The dining room doubles as a game room. Balconies open out for primo views of the ocean. But for the most part, although guests can see out, they are shielded from the outside world. Powerful twin MTU engines give the steel-hulled displacement yacht with flared bow a top speed of 20 knots. This yacht has won several industry awards for design; yet remains fairly elusive. However, her hull color, which a keen observer noted resembles the custom blue of a prominent Middle Eastern family’s private car collection, makes her unmistakable. She was photographed in early 2012, moored off the man-made Palm in Dubai with her helicopter on the sun deck. Sunrays also seems to pop up for major car racing events.
