Yachts And Movies: The Boat Of Bond. JAMES BOND !


GoldenEye… I’ve found his weakness! Boats, Babes and Bond. James Bond. It can’t get any hotter than this. If 007 has the license to kill, the SUNSEEKER comes with the license to thrill! Catch it at the Samira Mumbai International Boat Show 2008…

Featuring Sunseeker motoryachts for the third time in succession, the production of the 007 film Casino Royale has proved to be the company’s greatest James Bond assignment to date. As a result, Sunseeker’s stunning Predator 108 was filmed on location in the Bahamas and the company also built full-scale models of accommodation on board for transportation to film studios in Prague. In total, five Sunseeker motoryachts were used and two feature in the film.
