Sunseeker Superhawk 34 “Time to Bond”

Comprehensively Rebuilt & Repowered Classic | 2018–2023

This exceptional Sunseeker Superhawk 34, “Time to Bond”, represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully rebuilt and extensively modernised example of this iconic performance cruiser. Between 2018 and 2019, the vessel underwent a complete nose-to-tail refurbishment by a renowned West Country coachbuilder, followed by a major professional re-power and systems upgrade in 2023. The total investment into this boat exceeds £100,000, with no expense spared in bringing her up to modern standards while preserving the timeless Superhawk profile.

2018–2019: Complete Strip-Down & Rebuild

The vessel was fully stripped back and comprehensively rebuilt internally and externally. All systems, finishes, and furnishings were replaced or upgraded with modern equipment and contemporary styling throughout. The hull and superstructure were professionally refinished with a high-quality two-pack paint finish in grey and black, complementing the original white gel coat.

Following completion, the boat was independently surveyed, and the survey report is available for inspection. The refit was also featured on Nick Burnham’s Aquaholic YouTube Channel (2020), with a full walkthrough documenting the scope and quality of the work.

Refit highlights included:

• New Eberspächer heating system
• Internal jet wash system
• Complete replacement of teak decking
• Modern LED lighting throughout cockpit and saloon

2023: Professional Re-Power & Systems Upgrade

In 2023, the vessel benefited from a major re-power with twin Volvo Penta D4 DPH 300hp engines, transforming performance, reliability and running efficiency. This upgrade alone included over £5,000 of professional rewiring to accommodate the new installation. The helm and control systems were completely reconfigured to integrate modern Volvo Penta electronics and fly-by-wire controls.

All works were completed and fully certified by Volvo Penta main agents HPM & Associates, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship and compliance. The vessel benefits from a full service history with the Volvo Penta agent since ownership.
