Sunseeker Manhattan 56 For Sale

The Manhattan 56 redefines the mid-range flybridge segment with a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette and expanded glazing that floods the lower deck with natural light. Built at Sunseeker’s Poole facility, this 17.21 metre yacht combines agile, 32-knot performance with the spacious three-cabin layout of a much larger vessel.

On the main deck, a full-beam saloon opens through powered aft doors to a cockpit lounge that doubles the entertaining footprint at anchor. Forward, a dedicated helm station delivers excellent sightlines while the co-pilot seat converts to a sociable forward-facing settee. The galley sits on the same level, placing the cook at the centre of the action rather than hidden below.

Below decks, the full-beam owner’s suite occupies the midships section with standing headroom throughout, a separate shower compartment and direct hull-side ventilation. A VIP double and a twin cabin share a second heads compartment, giving the layout genuine three-couple capability for weekend passages.

The flybridge is the Manhattan 56’s party piece: a wet bar, fore-and-aft seating groups and an optional hardtop create a self-contained upper deck that works equally well for a quiet sundowner or a dockside gathering. Twin MAN engines deliver up to 1,600 PS combined, and a 2,200-litre fuel capacity supports a 230 nautical mile range at 21 knots.

For a buyer seeking a compact yet complete flybridge yacht, the Manhattan 56 sets the current benchmark.
