Shiver

Shiver has twin Cat's C32's which are 1800hp each her 21,000 l fuel tanks give her a range of 1,600 NM+ depending on sea state and load.

And as for the Italian manufacture, yes they do put in nice shiny items on board like helm wheels and chairs etc but this is to divert your attention from the build quality. Bar Ferretti (and only just) the majority of Italian manufactures build very good looking boats but do not look behind the any panels or in the engine room, it will scare you.

I have never known a crew to complement the build quality of any Italian yacht in tens years (apart from an Italian crew). Not saying Sunseeker are faultless, far from it but a yacht is not just about how it looks, its about the quality. I think that’s where a yachts beauty lies in the fact you know its build quality is second to none. Have you ever looked at a Feadship or Lurssen and thought it was not a solid as a rock.

No I don’t work for Sunseeker….
