Sunseeker to feature in next Bond film

Fourth consecutive appearance for Poole-based motor boat manufacturer

Sunseeker International has announced that its motoryachts will feature in the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace. This will be the fourth consecutive time their boats have appeared in Bond films.

Produced by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for EON Productions and directed by Marc Forster, Quantum of Solace will be released worldwide on 31 October 2008.

Robert Braithwaite CBE, Sunseeker managing director, said: “We are delighted to be involved in the latest James Bond film. As a worldwide British brand we are proud to be associated again with Britain’s most famous secret agent.”

Five Sunseeker models have appeared in the previous three James Bond movies. Casino Royale (2006) featured the 108 Predator with appearances from the XS 2000 and Sportsfish 37; Halle Berry climbed onboard a Superhawk 48 in Die Another Day (2002); The World is Not Enough (1999) in which a Superhawk 34 sped down London’s River Thames at more than 60 mph in a thrilling boat chase, which became the longest-ever Bond pre-title sequence.
