The Manhattan 56 introduces a cleaner, sleeker and more contemporary profile, where flowing lines, expansive glazing and Sunseeker’s unmistakable design DNA create a commanding presence on the water. This is a yacht that makes an impression long before you step aboard — elegant, composed and instantly recognisable.
Sunseeker Manhattan 56
At the stern, the aft cockpit has been completely reimagined as a highly adaptable social space. New modular seating allows the area to transition effortlessly between dining, lounging and a full-beam sunpad, offering exceptional flexibility for entertaining or relaxation. The open layout flows naturally to the bathing platform and Beach Club, creating a welcoming hub close to the water.
True to the Manhattan lineage, the Manhattan 56 delivers confident performance and reassuring seakeeping. Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, she cruises comfortably at around 25 knots, with a range of up to 230 nautical miles at 21 knots, and can achieve top speeds of up to 32 knots.
With her proven hull platform, responsive handling and practical layouts, the Manhattan 56 remains firmly focused on owner-driven usability, combining performance with the composure and character expected of a Sunseeker.
Continuous main deck glazing opens the interior to the sea and floods the saloon with natural light. The space feels lighter, wider and more open, creating the atmosphere of a private residence on the water, where the horizon becomes part of the interior.
The aft cockpit of the Manhattan 56 has been reimagined as a flexible open-air living space. Modular seating allows the atmosphere to shift effortlessly — from al fresco dining with guests to a relaxed lounge setting or a full-beam sunpad.
The open layout flows naturally towards the bathing platform and Beach Club area, transforming the aft section into a true waterside retreat. Designed for swimming, socialising, water sports and quiet hours at anchor, this is where the yacht becomes part of the sea.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-800 engines, the Manhattan 56 cruises confidently at around 25 knots and can reach speeds of up to 32 knots. Behind this performance lies the defining Sunseeker quality: precise handling, composed behaviour on the water and a reassuring sense of control on every passage.
Inside, the Manhattan 56 exemplifies the open-plan elegance and sociable layouts that define the Manhattan range. The main-deck saloon is light-filled and inviting, with panoramic hull windows framing uninterrupted views and enhancing the sense of space throughout. The generous volumetric flow between the saloon, dining area and helm creates an environment that feels both relaxed and intelligently designed.
The interior has been transformed through the latest Sunseeker Interiors Collection, created in collaboration with Design Unlimited. Inspired by modern apartment living, the design embraces minimalist forms, warm natural finishes and tactile textures, replacing traditional yacht styling with a calm, contemporary aesthetic that feels refined yet welcoming.
The main-deck galley is thoughtfully positioned to maximise space below, allowing for three well-proportioned cabins. The full-beam master cabin is exceptional for a yacht of this size, offering full-height headroom around a curved king-size bed. To starboard, owners can tailor the space with a chaise lounge, breakfast table or additional storage, while the en suite features recessed lighting, carefully detailed fittings and generous stowage.Throughout the interior, social spaces flow seamlessly, balancing comfort, practicality and understated luxury in equal measure.
