The British shipyard is growing its newest series with the Ocean 156, an 81-footer with a volume of 156GT.
The main deck has sliding doors to the foredeck
Sunseeker is evolving its new Ocean series with the Ocean 156, which has an overall length of 24.83m (81ft 6in), based on a hull with a length of 22.97m (75ft 4in) and a large beam of 6.5m (21ft 4in).
The Ocean 156 has a volume of 156GT
The Ocean 156 follows the single-helm, skylounge design introduced on the Ocean 182, which will debut at this year’s Cannes Yachting Festival (September 7-12) and is the enclosed flybridge version of the 90 Ocean that debuted in 2021 as one of ‘Sunseeker’s Famous Five’ models.
The skylounge contains the sole helm station
However, the Ocean 156 is an all-new model, without a ‘standard flybridge’ sister ship, and is purpose-designed as an enclosed skylounge model.
The infinity aft cockpit has modular furniture
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines, the Ocean 156 has a top speed of up to 23 knots. Notable features on the main deck include a forward door to the foredeck, while the upper deck has outdoor social areas both fore and aft of the skylounge.

Andrea Frabetti, CEO of Sunseeker International, said: “Our teams have once again managed to achieve a luxury superyacht feel with all the practicalities of a smaller model on board the beautiful new Ocean 156. We’ve really worked hard to maximise space on board and the design options are endless. We’re really excited to bring what promises to be a popular model to market.”
