About THUMPER
THUMPER is arguably one of the best 40 Metre Yachts ever constructed by leading British manufacturer, Sunseeker. A 2015 World Superyacht Awards finalist, THUMPER is a special one-off Sunseeker, a combination of both design and performance, which has had considerable custom design improvements.
Seductive. Inspirational. Versatile. This tri-deck Sunseeker 40m Yacht epitomizes everything that a 40m superyacht should be. Accommodating up to twelve guests in sublime surroundings, the sheer scale and layout of this immense yacht is awe-inspiring. Her custom Interior was conceived by one of London’s top interior design houses, HPM Developments. Comprising a highly detailed, luxury interior design, encompassing clean, bright decorative materials of leathers, pale timbers, metals and semi-precious stones, the design reflects the sophisticated Hamptons style with playful elements inspired by the Ibiza beach club vibe. The detailing throughout the boat is bespoke, maximizing the feeling of space, with careful consideration taken to hidden storage. Unique feature artwork has been commissioned by Based Upon, a team of artists and designers who create highly acclaimed, bespoke handmade sculptural pieces.
THUMPER carries an extensive selection of water sports toys, is fitted with a modern AV system and has an outstanding crew of 9, to ensure guests will have a safe and memorable charter experience.

Jason worked in various land-based companies before gaining his first experience at sea at the tender age of 28. Packing his bags, he joined what at the time was the largest cruise ship in the world, as a butler. After a year learning about the hospitality industry, he decided that a career at sea was his future. Following a season on a day trip yacht in Malta in 2000, he started the serious business of gaining professional sailing qualifications.
Jason has now been a captain for 20 years and his first command was on a privately- owned 30m sailing yacht – Impression - during which time he oversaw and managed a complete refit of the vessel in order to circumnavigate the globe one and a half times. He left Impression in New Zealand at the end of 2007, returning to the UK where he gained his Chief Mate License and got married. In his last role as Captain, he led and managed the purchase and full build of M/Y Sosa, working for the owner for 8 years in total.

Jodie Sinclair
Stewardess
Christen grew up on a farm in KwaZulu-Natal before moving to Cape Town to pursue her passion for the creative arts. She studied art direction, graduated top of her class, and became a finalist in the prestigious Loeries Awards, one of Africa’s highest accolades in advertising. With a strong foundation in visual storytelling and design, Christen brings a natural artistic eye and attention to detail to her work.
Her journey into yachting began in a uniquely creative way — determined to stand out, she hand-drew and painted every yacht she applied to, transforming her CV into a personal piece of art. This reflected not only her dedication and drive, but also her desire to bring creativity into the industry from the very beginning. Now starting her first season as a Junior Stewardess aboard THUMPER, Christen combines her creative background with life at sea.
Friendly, hardworking, and always eager to learn, she describes herself as a “sponge.” With a natural curiosity about different cultures and a love of new challenges, she was drawn to yachting as a way to experience the world through new perspectives — something that continually inspires both her creativity and the way she connects with people on board.
