The Manhattan 55, a sought-after yacht in the Sunseeker range, continues to impress yacht owners worldwide.

Featuring a stunning Midnight Grey exterior, showcasing one of Sunseeker's three new grey gelcoat colours, the Manhattan 55 stands out among the range of yachts with an upgraded colour scheme. Complementing the striking exterior is an exquisite interior colour palette of warm greys and natural wood tones, creating a harmonious and elegant atmosphere onboard.

Fitted with twin Volvo Penta D13-800 or IPS-950 engines, the Manhattan 55 can cruise comfortably up to 25 knots with a range of 230 nautical miles or achieve more than 30 knots at full throttle.

Exterior

With its exceptional features, the Manhattan 55 exceeds the standards of a typical 55-footer. The bathing platform with Beach Club amenities boasts an electric grill, an overhead rain shower, a fold-down seat and extended storage.

In the aft cockpit, you will find stylish pivoting bar stools upholstered to complement the striking exterior colour scheme. Additionally, the cockpit is equipped with a third helm station that includes an IPS Joystick, thruster control, and a Volvo E-Key ignition panel for seamless stern-to manoeuvring.

At the flybridge helm console, you will find two Volvo Penta Glass Cockpit Chartplotter displays and a Volvo Penta IPS Joystick. Enjoy the comfort of companion seating with backrests and a spacious forward sunpad. The wet bar is equipped with an icemaker and refrigeration, complemented by a retractable centre canopy integrated into the hardtop and an electric canopy aft for increased comfort. The dining table seats up to six guests with ease while seamless outdoor entertainment comes from the Sonance marine speakers and Sonos Amp - connecting all exterior spaces.

Interior

The interior colour scheme creates a vibrant and serene space, with a variety of wood tones including white, grey, and silver oak. Oyster and silver leathers, along with deep stone finishes, add a touch of luxury to the rich interior. Black leather upholstery and polished Quartz complete the sophisticated look.

Cabins feature textured headboards and stylish geometric bed covers. The saloon boasts a rise-and-fall TV, perfect for entertainment, while the dining area offers a cozy setting for social gatherings around a rise-and-fall table. The galley is fully equipped with top-of-the-range Miele appliances, including an extractor hob, integrated microwave, and slimline dishwasher. Enhancing the experience is a 33-bottle wine cooler and dual refrigeration and freezer drawers. With tinted windows and sliding doors providing UV protection, the main deck ensures optimal comfort for all on board.

The onboard accommodation features a luxurious owner's cabin with a private en suite, a VIP cabin forward, and a starboard side guest cabin amidships that can comfortably sleep up to six guests.
