Introducing the Sunseeker Manhattan 55, a stunning yacht that combines elegance with functionality. The East Coast division of Sunseeker is proud to announce the arrival of this brand new, well-equipped model.
The Sunseeker Manhattan 55 is a visual delight, featuring carbon fiber and stainless-steel elements that enhance its aesthetic appeal. However, its appeal goes beyond looks. The cockpit is intelligently designed and innovative, with a unique feature in the form of a glass panel that separates it from the galley. This panel can be lowered with a single button, transforming the area into a bar with two seats. To enhance the experience, the builders have included a small wine cooler, making it an ideal spot for enjoying an al fresco breakfast or a refreshing glass of wine at sunset.
Moving into the salon, you’ll find a U-shaped sofa accompanied by a dining table that comfortably seats six people. Additional seating space is available behind the skipper’s seat. The command post boasts two seats, two multi-functional screens, and all the necessary controls, including a joystick. The saloon is beautifully illuminated by natural light, complemented by strategically placed LED lights in two different color schemes. The interior of the Sunseeker Manhattan 55 exudes luxury, thanks to carefully chosen fabrics, materials, and four types of wood—satin wenge, silver oak, smoked eucalyptus, and walnut.
Accommodations on the yacht consist of three delightful cabins, including a full-beam master suite located aft. The VIP cabin is situated in the bow, while the third cabin is a double cabin on the starboard side. The luxurious interior design is perfectly balanced by the impressive exterior.
The spacious flybridge features a large sunpad at the front, with the command post opposite the helm offering ample seating. Behind the wet bar, equipped with a fridge, icemaker, sink, and optional grill, there is a dining table for enjoying meals outdoors. At the aft, you’ll find the submersible hydraulic platform and the transom beach club, providing easy access to water sports and adding another highlight to the deck. The bow area also features a sunpad and dining area for relaxation and enjoyment.
Powered by Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, the Sunseeker Manhattan 55 can cruise comfortably at 25 knots, offering a range of 230 nautical miles. At full throttle, it can reach speeds in excess of 30 knots, ensuring an exhilarating experience on the water.
The exterior profile of the Manhattan 55 is a testament to its remarkable design. It strikes a perfect balance between style, function, and form, with beautifully proportioned lines and striking hull glazing that reflect a modern aesthetic. Carbon fiber air intakes further enhance its practicality, lightweight construction, and dynamic appeal.
One of the standout features of the Manhattan 55 is its private Beach Club and extended bathing platform. This feature is exceptional for a yacht of this size, offering a full-beam hydraulic platform with an integrated overhead shower, an optional barbecue, and fold-down transom seating, providing a delightful space for owners and guests to enjoy.
The voluminous flybridge is another remarkable area on the yacht, providing ample dining and sunbathing capacity. The spacious dining area comfortably accommodates up to six people and can be fitted with a bimini or fixed hardtop with a retractable sunroof, depending on the owner’s preference. Additional features include a wet bar, surround sound speakers, and additional seating at the helm and bow, making it perfect for intimate gatherings or grand celebrations.
With its next-generation Volvo Penta D13 800 engine, the Manhattan 55 offers a smooth cruising experience. Even with the added weight of owner equipment and toys, it maintains a cruising speed of 25 knots, providing efficiency and flexibility for owners wherever they choose to cruise.
The next generation of Manhattan yachts brings significant updates to the interior design. The Manhattan 55 excels in practicality, finish, and attention to detail. Striking feature lighting, smart storage solutions, ingenious space-maximizing design layouts, and customizable furniture selections cater to the owner’s needs. Plush cushions on luxurious bed linens and hand-stitched upholstery ensure utmost comfort on board. The galley seamlessly extends onto the main deck, with the option to add bar stools, allowing for a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors. The Manhattan 55 is designed with versatility in mind, offering owners the freedom to use their yacht as they wish.
