Sunseeker Manhattan 55

About this yacht

The Sunseeker Manhattan 55 represents a masterclass in contemporary yacht design, where performance meets exceptional social versatility. Since its introduction in 2020, this 17.21-metre flybridge motor yacht has redefined what owners can expect from a powerboat in this class. Built with a GRP hull and certified to CE Category B standards, the Manhattan 55 is engineered for coastal cruising up to 200 nautical miles offshore. Her planing hull design and modest 1.26-metre draft deliver agile handling and access to shallow anchorages, while accommodating up to 12 guests across three well-appointed cabins. What distinguishes this cruiser is her ability to create expansive entertaining spaces typically reserved for much larger vessels. The open-plan layout flows seamlessly from the main deck through to the innovative Beach Club aft, where a well-designed bathing platform becomes the focal point for waterside leisure. Optional features including a built-in barbecue, overhead shower, and fold-down transom seating transform this area into a true extension of the yacht's living space. The exterior profile commands attention with sweeping glass panels and refined stainless-steel detailing that emphasize the Manhattan 55's dynamic lines. Inside, the galley can be configured with optional bar seating, dissolving the boundary between interior comfort and alfresco entertaining on the flybridge above. Performance comes courtesy of twin engine options: MAN i6 800PS or Volvo Penta IPS-950 units. Either configuration delivers a comfortable cruising speed of 25 knots with a 250-nautical-mile range, while top speeds exceed 32 knots when you want to make swift passages between destinations. For discerning owners seeking a hardtop flybridge yacht that balances spirited performance with genuine liveability, the Sunseeker Manhattan 55 delivers on every measure.
