Sunseeker present the project for its latest flybridge model, the new Manhattan 68. Making its World Premiere at the Düsseldorf boat show in the third week of January, this flybridge motor yacht promises to be one of the most innovative and class-leading yachts at the show. Building on the exceptional family of award-winning Manhattan models, this new addition to the range has been designed to offer exceptional levels of comfort and luxury with incredible detailing. With the feel of a much larger yacht, it delivers a unique contemporary space that maximizes on entertainment options. The Manhattan 68 will enjoy an expansive cockpit, main saloon area with sumptuous lounge seating and a fully-equipped aft galley. The innovative and meticulous design that has gone into the layout of the main deck makes this the perfect boat for welcoming guests; with a strong focus on ambient lighting and interior detailing. From the generous saloon and upper aft galley, through to elevated companion seating at the helm, this exceptional layout allows the owner and guests to move effortlessly between spaces. Interestingly, where a lower galley is specified, the space can be utilized as an additional saloon ‘snug’ or feature bar, seamlessly integrating with the main living space. The interiors will boast exquisite attention to detail with a new palate of upholstery that provides a cool, crisp and contemporary look. New stainless steel detailing contrasts perfectly with light fabrics, helping to create a floating, and seemingly unsupported backrest to the seating throughout this space. The saloon is drenched by light thanks to the panoramic glazing whilst the lighting design has been exceptionally well considered throughout and includes concealed lighting within ceiling panels and furniture. Owners can select from four lighting and entertainment scenes such as Movie, Party or Night modes; with a one-touch activation from a central Videoworks control app. The different scenes create a distinct ambiance depending on the time of day and mood. The combination of all these elements give the Manhattan 68 a truly restful setting suitable for family relaxation yet easily transformable for impressive entertaining. To port in the saloon, the Manhattan 68 benefits from private access to the full-beam master stateroom, a real standout feature with full height headroom and optional chaise, sofa, storage or breakfast table. There is also beautiful use of wood in this area utilizing a sublime blend of finishes such as Wenge Satin, Silver Oak, Smoked Eucalyptus and Walnut. In the standard configuration with galley positioned on the main deck, there is ample space for four cabins below including two large twin cabins and a forward VIP suite. The flybridge has been designed with an integrated hard-top option in mind and features large forward sunbathing areas and a second helm. It also offers extensive seating with open space for freestanding furniture customized to the owner’s choice. The wet bar has been designed for multiple uses and now includes built-in storage, BBQ and refrigeration options to create the focus for yet another social and entertaining space. This sociable layout continues through to the wide bathing platform which features Sunseeker’s innovative ‘Beach Club’ to bring guests closer to the water. The Beach Club’s hydraulic door opens to reveal an overhead rain-shower, lights and speakers, and provides storage for fenders, toys, scuba and sports equipment. The area is equipped with an optional fold-away bench seat, and Seabob storage lockers adjacent to the water, complete with built-in charging points. The substantial bathing platform is suitable for launching a jet tender up to four meters. The twin berth crew cabin, with private access through the transom, enjoys a dedicated en-suite and ample stowage. The Manhattan can be powered by Volvo 1000hp with IPS pod propulsion, Man 1000hp or 1200hp with line shafts.
