M/Y SKYFALL reintroduces a familiar silhouette to Miami’s brokerage scene: a Sunseeker Predator 108 from 2008 that has been comprehensively refitted in 2023. The result is a performance-driven yacht that retains the aggressive, low‑profile presence of Sunseeker’s design language while receiving a full systems and interior overhaul by Casa Dio—bringing mechanical reliability, modern AV and a refreshed palette to a model long admired for its speed and handling.
Design and performance
At the heart of SKYFALL’s appeal is engineering built for pace. The yacht is powered by three MTU 16V 2000 M93 engines producing a combined 7,200 horsepower and driving Arneson Surface Drives, a configuration that produces a direct, responsive ride and the ability to reach publishable top speeds in excess of 38 knots (Sunseeker lists 40+ knots). With a fuel capacity of 2,906 gallons and an approximate cruising range of 450 nautical miles, the Predator 108 balances sprint capability with meaningful transit endurance.
Interior and systems—Casa Dio refit, 2023
The 2023 refit, executed by Casa Dio, targeted both aesthetic and technical subsystems. Interiors were reimagined in white and gray tones, with replacement of headliners, upholstery and cabinetry and a full soft goods refresh. The AV suite and electronics were redesigned and upgraded, aligning entertainment and navigation systems with contemporary expectations. A complete mechanical and electrical overhaul was completed alongside systems calibration to restore operational reliability across propulsion and hotel systems.
Accommodations and on‑deck living
SKYFALL sleeps eight guests across four staterooms: a full‑beam master suite with walk‑in closet, desk and lounge; a forward VIP with en‑suite; and two twin guest cabins (one fitted with a Pullman). The main salon features a panoramic layout with an electric sunroof, creating an open, luminous social volume. Exterior spaces are arranged for flexible alfresco living—sunpads fore and aft, a teak deck, expansive swim platform and hydraulic sunshade—while an electro‑hydraulic garage door and crane davit provide tender and toy handling versatility.
Systems, safety and compliance
SKYFALL was prepared to a commercial standard of equipment: RINA build standards are noted along with U.S. Coast Guard compliance. Safety gear includes EPIRB, life rafts (8‑ and 6‑person), a full FM‑200 fire suppression system and a complete safety package. Electronics and navigation features cited include FLIR night vision, Furuno NavNet 3D, Raymarine Axiom and KVH satellite TV paired with Bose surround audio.
Provenance and brokerage
Beyond specifications, SKYFALL carries cinematic provenance—featured in the James Bond film Casino Royale—adding cultural cachet to its pedigree. The yacht is listed and shown exclusively by 1 Ocean Yachts Group in Miami. Interested, qualified buyers are directed to contact broker Jose Arana for private showings and full specifications.
Why this listing matters
The Predator 108 occupies a distinct segment of the market where sportboat performance meets yacht‑style accommodations. SKYFALL’s recent refit addresses a common buyer concern—modern systems and turnkey readiness—while preserving the platform’s original performance intent. For owners or charter operators seeking a high‑speed planing yacht with updated onboard comforts and recognized brand pedigree, this example presents a compelling, move‑in option.
