Morphology

sunseeker = sun + seeker (semi-transparent) = sun + seek + er

The components 'sun' + 'seeker' are obvious, but the sense referring to a yacht (often a brand name or specialised product) is a metaphorical/specialised use not directly inferable by all learners.

Etymology

Sunseeker for a luxury yacht comes from the parts sun ('sun') and seek ('to look for'), and the name was used by a well-known boat maker for fancy pleasure boats made for warm-weather cruising. So a sunseeker boat is easy to remember as a stylish vessel built for people who want to 'seek' sunshine at sea.
