About the Manhattan 56

New Chapter. Same DNA.

The Sunseeker Manhattan 56 is the latest evolution of one of the most storied names in British flybridge yachting — a nameplate that stretches back to the early 2000s and has defined owner-focused cruising under 60 feet for two decades. Debuted at Boot Düsseldorf in January 2026, the Manhattan 56 replaces the Manhattan 55 with a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette, expanded main-deck glazing, and a completely redesigned interior from the new Sunseeker Interiors Collection, created in collaboration with Design Unlimited.

The interior philosophy is a departure from traditional yacht design: warm natural finishes, minimalist forms, and a calm, apartment-inspired aesthetic replace the dark wood and contrast upholstery of earlier generations. The panoramic glazing that frames the main saloon floods the interior with natural light from both sides — a room that feels more like a high-end city apartment than a yacht, yet sits aboard a 56-foot flybridge cruiser capable of 32 knots. The open-plan saloon and dining zone flow seamlessly, with the full-width aft galley positioned to serve both interior and cockpit without interrupting the social spaces.

Below deck, three well-proportioned cabins are led by a truly exceptional full-beam master amidships — one of the largest master suites of any yacht in this size class. The curved king-size bed, full-height headroom, upholstered panelling, twin reading lights, dedicated sitting area with curved sofas, and private vanity are not compromises: they are a genuine statement of intent. Forward, a VIP cabin with skylight and twin panoramic angular windows completes a below-deck arrangement that rivals much larger yachts. On deck, the flybridge — one of the largest in class — features a generous sunpad, dining area, and panoramic views, while the reimagined aft cockpit converts between dining, lounging, and a full-beam sunpad with modular ease.

Key Features
🏠
Design Unlimited Interior — Apartment Aesthetic
The new Sunseeker Interiors Collection, created with Design Unlimited, delivers warm natural finishes, minimalist forms, and clean contemporary lines that replace traditional yacht interiors with a modern, lived-in feel. A genuine step change for the Manhattan lineup.
🛏️
Full-Beam Master Suite — Exceptional for the Class
A full-beam master cabin amidships with curved king-size bed, full-height headroom, upholstered headboard panel, dedicated sitting area with twin curved sofas, vanity with mirror, and twin reading lamps — genuinely outstanding for a 56-foot yacht.
🪟
Panoramic Main Deck Glazing
Expanded hull windows flood the saloon from both sides with natural light. A two-step raised helm station and C-shaped sofa to port, with optional entertainment cabinet or facing sofa to starboard, define a social space that makes the most of every view.
🍽️
Full-Width Aft Galley — Masses of Storage
A full-width aft galley with stone countertops, four fridge/freezer drawers, wine cooler, Miele appliances, and panoramic ocean views — positioned to serve both the saloon and cockpit dining simultaneously. The galley photographs in this gallery speak for themselves.
☀️
Modular Aft Cockpit — Dining, Lounging or Sunpad
The completely reimagined aft cockpit converts effortlessly between a dining area, casual lounge, and full-beam sunpad via modular seating — Sunseeker's first to feature the new elevated exterior upholstery collection with precision piping and expert handmade British stitching.
Twin Volvo Penta D13-800 — Up to 32 Knots
Twin Volvo Penta D13-800 engines deliver a comfortable 25-knot cruise with a range of up to 230 nautical miles at 21 knots, and a top speed of up to 32 knots. Shaft or IPS pod drive configurations available. A proven platform with the performance character the Manhattan name demands.
