Pyewacket: The Yacht
The name
Pyewacket is famously associated with Roy E. Disney’s offshore racing sailboats. However, the Sunseeker 70 Manhattan
Pyewacket is a distinct motor yacht. Key points:
- Ownership: There is no widely publicized link to Roy Disney. The name may have been adopted by a private owner for personal or sentimental reasons.
- Customization: As with most Sunseeker yachts, Pyewacket likely features bespoke interiors or layout tweaks, though specific details are scarce due to privacy.
- Charter Status: If available for charter, it would offer luxury amenities like those standard to the 70 Manhattan model. Check platforms like YachtCharterFleet or Burgess for listings.
Notes on the Name
- The original Pyewacket sailboats (e.g., a Reichel/Pugh 75) were record-breaking racing vessels. The Sunseeker motor yacht shares only the name, not the legacy.
- Yacht names are often reused; without explicit public records, details about this specific Pyewacket remain limited.
