New Model: Sunseeker Manhattan 56

Sunseeker present the Manhattan 56, a new model it debuted at the 2026 Boot Dusseldorf.  The Manhattan 56 is for the most part an improvement to the replacing Manhattan 55, which was also based on the Manhattan 52 which arrived in 2016.  The Manhattan 56 versus the outgoing Manhattan 55, shows differences in the hard-top, main deck glazing, and aft cockpit deck.  The hard-top has been redesigned, now similar to the second generation Manhattan 68 which was presented last year.  The hull window glazing has been increased in the main deck by removing the lower decorating transverse pillar.  The aft cockpit might be the most important change now fitted with a modular seating which transforms the area from dining, lounging, and sun-pad, offering exceptional flexibility for entertaining or relaxation.  Fair to say this modular seating takes away some cockpit legroom versus the outgoing Manhattan 55.  For the interior but also the flybridge and fore-deck the Manhattan 56 is unchanged versus the 55, with living dining astern galley layout main deck, and a three double cabins lower deck.  Lost occasion?  When the Manhattan 52 arrived in 2016 it was one of the best flybridge yacht in its size, today the Manhattan 56 even with these improvements is down the packing order.
