The Sunseeker Superhawk 48, introduced in the mid‑1990s, stands as one of the most iconic offshore sports cruisers ever produced by Sunseeker International. Built in 1996 at Poole, England, the Superhawk 48 captured the essence of Sunseeker’s design philosophy during its peak era: sleek styling, exhilarating performance, and unmistakable British craftsmanship. With its long, low profile and aggressive stance, the Superhawk 48 quickly became a favorite among enthusiasts seeking both speed and luxury on open water.

At 14.78 meters in length with a 3.25‑meter beam and a shallow 0.84‑meter draft, the Superhawk 48 was engineered for agility. Her deep‑V hull, molded in GRP fiberglass, delivered exceptional seakeeping and stability at speed. Power came from three Yanmar ME420 diesel engines, each producing 250 hp, giving her the ability to reach 25–30 knots in comfortable conditions. This triple‑engine configuration was a hallmark of the model, offering a blend of raw power and smooth offshore handling that set her apart from other sports cruisers of the era.

The Superhawk 48’s exterior lines reflected the bold styling of 1990s Sunseekers — sharp angles, sweeping curves, and a cockpit designed as both a command center and a social space. The large, open cockpit made her ideal for entertaining, with ample seating and easy access to the water. Below deck, she offered a surprisingly refined interior for a performance cruiser, with a compact yet well‑appointed cabin suitable for weekend getaways.

Over the years, many Superhawk 48s have been meticulously maintained, reflecting the model’s durability and the loyalty of its owners. One 1996 example in Salcombe, Devon, has passed through five owners, receiving full engine and outdrive servicing, new anodes, fresh antifouling, and a complete hull and deck polish in 2025 — a testament to the vessel’s enduring appeal and robust construction.

The Superhawk 48 also found popularity in the charter market. Often coded for 12 passengers plus a skipper, she excelled as a day‑charter vessel, though operators frequently preferred groups of 8–10 guests for optimal comfort. Her combination of speed, stability, and stylish presentation made her a standout choice for coastal excursions, celebrations, and weekend cruising.

Today, the Sunseeker Superhawk 48 remains a rare and sought‑after classic. Listings appear across Europe and in select charter fleets, where her reputation for reliability and performance continues to attract discerning buyers. She represents a defining moment in Sunseeker’s history — a time when the company’s sports cruisers set the standard for offshore luxury, blending power, elegance, and timeless design.

Fast, stylish, and unmistakably Sunseeker, the Superhawk 48 endures as one of the brand’s most beloved performance yachts.

PRODUCTS CRAFTED WITHOUT COMPROMISE, ANCHORED IN TRADITION

 

Elevate your collection with an exquisite display or RC‑compatible model, handcrafted with uncompromising precision by SavyBoat master artisans.   Built with traditional plank‑on‑frame construction, each model is built entirely from scratch using historical photographs, archival drawings, and original ship, yacht, or boat plans, ensuring a level of authenticity and craftsmanship worthy of the world’s finest collectors.

 

This same dedication to excellence extends beyond our models and into every SavyBoat product we sell—from apparel to accessories to home décor. Whether it’s a handcrafted model or a piece from our lifestyle collection, every item is designed with the same maritime heritage, premium materials, and timeless maritime style that define the SavyBoat name.

 

UNMATCHED AUTHENTICITY IN EVERY MODEL

Our models feature an extraordinary level of detail throughout, faithfully capturing the character of the real ship, yacht, or boat. Depending on the model, these features include:

 --- SOLID BRASS PEDESTAL MOUNTINGS, unlike most other companies who use simple lower-quality wood or brass-sleeved wood pedestals. 

                       PLEASE NOTE:  Though some pictured models may not show brass pedestals, brass pedestals are included as applicable with mounted models. 

 --- The finest woods throughout the model, such as Ebony, Rosewood, Blackwood, Mahogany, and Teak
 --- High‑quality fittings, trimmings, steering wheels, and propellers made of sculpted or cast metals
 --- Pre‑installed LED lighting on illuminated models (power supply not included) 
 --- Open die‑cut side hull windows—never painted, like found on other companies’ models 
 --- Precision true open die‑cut windows, doors, and portholes throughout ship superstructures
 --- Detailed lifeboats hung from launching davits

 --- Delicate railings on the forecastle, aft castle, and upper decks

 --- Complete rigging and stay‑lines on all masts and smokestacks
 --- Detailed interiors, complete with a realistic steering wheel, switches, and gauges
 --- Hand‑stitched plush seats made of genuine leather
 --  High‑gloss finishes with multi‑layered, micro‑sanded surfaces
 --- A specially developed multi‑layered paint system replicating the vessel’s true colors with remarkable depth

 --- RC‑compatible construction with epoxy‑lined hulls, pre-installed propeller shafts, and rubber assemblies.  ----  Due to the many ways our customers                  may power their RC models, our models do not come with propellers. 

---  Hatches open for easy RC equipment installation (motor and electronics not included).

 

Please note, as each model is hand-built by master craftsmen, slight variations in details and color may exist between pictures and models.
