Sunseeker 43 Superhawk - European Powerboat of the Year 2008

Seven leading European powerboat magazines elected among 90 recently launched motor boats and motor yachts the best powerboats of the year in four different categories. The four winners of the European Powerboat Awards 2008 have been presented in the course of a celebratory gala during the "boot Düsseldorf“ boat show (19th to 27th January 2008).

A jury of chief editors and professional test drivers elect from all European powerboats launched in the previous year the most interesting models in four different categories of length. Safety, workmanship, driving characteristics, handling performance, room layout, price/performance ratio and, last but not least, appearance are being examined thoroughly.

Sunseeker 43 Superhawk was named European Powerboat of the Year 2008 in the category of powerboats up to 50 ft. Launched in 2006 at the Southampton International Boat Show, the exciting Superhawk 43 underlines the companys unrivalled reputation for the design and production of stylish high performance sport cruisers.

A sleek profile, stepped hull and muscular lines hint at an aggressive performance, which this distinctive Sunseeker delivers with a top speed of 50 knots, depending on engine and drive options. Below deck, an attractive saloon, well appointed galley and separate large double berth provide the perfect balance for overnight trips.
